The problems might have started with Java 8 - I saw such comment - but it's not verified. JTDS 1.3.1 (the latest released version) has problem with the TLS, what can be a game-changer for some people. ДЇor my choice, use jTDS, it is more permissive and least likely to get you into trouble, and it's a better driver.

Having said all of this, I don't know of the licenses within SQL Server itself which may or may not restrict third-party drivers such as jTDS connecting to it.ДЄnother point is that jTDS is available via maven, the Microsoft driver is not. Which could be interpreted that you may not use it in production code, however earlier points in the license seem to allow it.

transfer the software or this agreement to any third party.

There are more restrictions within the license such as:

One restriction of note is that you may not

The key reason FOR using jTDS is that it uses the lesser GPL license where Microsoft's driver uses their own license which has much more restrictions to it. Microsoft offers aДЇull JDBC4.2 (Java 8) driver and supports all the features of SQL In 2014 it hadn't been updated for multiple years). Microsoft's driver is actively maintained, where jTDS hasn'tД«een updated since 2014 (and prior to the small round of updates done The decision was made to replace jTDS with Microsoft's own SQL ServerДriver. Since jTDS 1.3.1 does not provide a functioning JDBC4 implementation, Have been 'implemented', but their implementations are all throw newДЄbstractMethodError(), which means they can't actually be used. Implement JDBC4, and JDBC4.1, they actually don't. JDBC3 driver, compatible with Java 1.3, and therefore cannot be used

The jTDS driver used by releases prior to Bitbucket Server 2.1 is a Its persistence layer, have introduced a requirement that the JDBCДrivers and connection pools used be JDBC4-compliant. Recent releases of Hibernate, which Bitbucket Server uses to simplify While for many years jTDS was much superior than buggy mssql's own driver, the things are changing to the opposite recently.
