What is the version of SQL JDBC Driver required for Splunk DB Connect 1.2 version app...?

Hi.

I am trying to connect to a MSSQL server using the Splunk DB Connect 1.2 version of the app. It is showing incompatible Drivers.
Can anyone provide me the link for MS-SQL JDBC driver?
I have successfully connected to sql server using DB connect 1.1 version app. There I have used SQL jdbc 4.1, but I need it for the 1.2 version of app.
Links for reference happily accepted and appreciated.

Thanks
Santhosh

The documentation for the installation of the JDBC drivers is at: http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/DBX/2.0.4/DeployDBX/Installdatabasedrivers

For Microsoft SQL, the Microsoft JDBC Drivers 4.1 and 4.0 for SQL Server is what you will want.

The steps to install them are here:

There are no answer without questions
