You can always copy the databases to another SQL Server machine, and attach them. > I bought the Developer edition and installed it over > the trial version.

To use the Type 4 MS SQL Server JDBC driver, you'll need to configure your database server to use Mixed Mode authentication. You can do this without reinstalling it, though. Just go into Enterprise Manager, right-click on your server, select "Properties", go to the "Security" tab, then select "SQL Server and Windows" under "Authentication". I'm pretty sure you'll also need to use TCP/IP connectivity. By default, that's enabled, but if you disabled it for some reason, you'll need to enable it within the Server Network Utility within the "Microsoft SQL Server" menu group.
