1. Microsoft SQL Server Databases
2. Sybase
3. PostgreSQL
4. Informix
5. IBM DB2UDB

Are there any known compatibility issues?

In particular, when attempting to connect to Microsoft SQL Server (2000/2005) with Microsoft JDBC Driver using the following URL:

jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://<HOST>:1433

    the following error messages may be displayed:
