Initiation

   Welcome! I'm one of the few developers at Microsoft who indulge in Java code 95% of their time at work. For the past 7 months I've had the privilege of being part of a very special team at Microsoft, Microsoft SQL Server 2005 JDBC Driver development team. So far I've been highly enjoying this experience and I'm looking forward to releasing ever stronger versions of our JDBC driver.

I'm not a JDBC veteran and over the course of past 7 months I've discovered numerous pieces of useful information on JDBC and Java. I'm intending to post my discoveries and I hope they will be as helpful for you as they are for me. As a team we very much like to hear from JDBC users so please feel free to post positive feedback about my blog and our driver.
