DB Connect 2 uses Java 8.</P> Sat, 11 Apr 2015 21:05:53 GMT jcoates_splunk 2015-04-11T21:05:53Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/DB-Connect-options-alternatives-for-SQL-Server-and-Java-8/m-p/129354#M22987 <P>After much trial and tribulation, i discovered that DB Connect is not compatible with Java 8, at least for MS SQL Server and ODBC (the JDBC-ODBC bridge was removed in Java 8). With Java 7 hitting EOL in early 2015, are there any other options to directly pull from SQL Server, or will DB Connect be updated to use Java 8?</P> Fri, 21 Nov 2014 15:39:42 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/DB-Connect-options-alternatives-for-SQL-Server-and-Java-8/m-p/129354#M22987 bonnemak 2014-11-21T15:39:42Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/DB-Connect-options-alternatives-for-SQL-Server-and-Java-8/m-p/129355#M22988 <P>Watch this space: <A href="http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/DBX/1.1.5/DeployDBX/Deploymentrequirements#Java_Runtime_Environment_.28JRE.29">http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/DBX/1.1.5/DeployDBX/Deploymentrequirements#Java_Runtime_Environment_.28JRE.29</A></P> Sat, 22 Nov 2014 17:42:58 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/DB-Connect-options-alternatives-for-SQL-Server-and-Java-8/m-p/129355#M22988 martin_mueller 2014-11-22T17:42:58Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/DB-Connect-options-alternatives-for-SQL-Server-and-Java-8/m-p/129356#M22989 <P>I know you know this martin_mueller, but for posterity and others...
