Hello, I'm not totally sure, but it seems like that error is saying that you are running Java 8, and the sqljdbc4.jar is not compatible with Java 8.
>From reading the system requirements when downloading the SQL Server's JDBC Driver, it says: Version support for Java Runtime Environments (JRE) and the associated JDBC API versions are determined by the included JAR files as follows: • Sqljdbc.jar requires a JRE of 5 and supports the JDBC 3.0 API • Sqljdbc4.jar requires a JRE of 6 and supports the JDBC 4.0 API • Sqljdbc41.jar requires a JRE of 7 and supports the JDBC 4.1 API • Sqljdbc42.jar requires a JRE of 8 and supports the JDBC 4.2 API I wonder if the sqljdbc42.jar would work. -Bryan On Mon, Sep 19, 2016 at 9:26 AM, HadyZiade <hadyzi...@gmail.com> wrote: > I Am running NIFI under windows . > trying to connect to sql server and i got the following error > java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Java Runtime Environment > Version1.8 > is not supported by this driver.
