Hi,

I need to connect to a Sybase (rather Advantage Database Server). I follow old thread with WinCC etc. and try the following :

- get the latest jtds jar
- create a new driver
- load the jtds-1.3.0.jar
- put net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver as classname

and I end up with a “Cannot load JDBC driver class ‘net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver’” error.

Help welcome !

Do you get any other error messages in the logs? What version of Ignition are you running?
