Venkat Ranganathan commented on SQOOP-1567:
-------------------------------------------
Generally there are drivers other than vendor specific drivers for a DB. for
example, Datadirect drivers are available for Oracle, DB2, SqlServer etc.
And some of the assumptions in the connection manager implementation will
assume that vendor drivers are used. In the case of Sql Server drivers, for
example, Azure DB is something that is tested (and there were a few changes
from MS on this) for the connection manager. Not sure if those work with jTDS.
IMO we should let users choose other drivers as the case may be explicitly and
default the vendor provided/specific one if available.
