java.sql.SQLException after migration 7.9 to 8.1 and with SQL Server 2005 Database Connection

The newer versions of the jdbc driver dropped support for the older versions. I ended up using jTDS for those.

EDIT: The reason I went this route was that M$ (bless their hearts) obfuscated download locations of their earlier versions of jdbc drivers, and I still needed to connect to later instance versions as well. So I added it as a separate driver.
