Previous versions of the MS JDBC driver were licensed from DataDirect, but it's my understanding that the current one is not based on any DataDirect code. As for stability, I've seen results all over the place, with the DataDirect driver sometimes being more stable than the new MS one, sometimes being less stable. > We have performed a lot of benchmarks, but major vendors such > as DataDirect and JNetDirect (not sure about NewAtlanta) do > not allow publishing of benchmark results produced using > their drivers.
