Where sqljdbc4.jar file on machine

[hqt]

When I'm learning JDBC, I need file sqljdbc4.jar to connect SQL Server with my Java program. File sqljdbc4.jar I easily find on Internet, no problem.
But, when I visited Microsoft MSDN page, they say sqljdbc.jar and sqljdbc4.jar are installed in these link:
<installation directory>\sqljdbc_<version>\<language>\sqljdbc.ja r
<installation directory>\sqljdbc_<version>\<language>\sqljdbc4.j ar
(With installation directory is place where I install sql server) But I cannot find above link. (In my installation directory, it doesn't have any folder name sqljdbc_<version>)
So, am I understand wrong what they say ? Please help me understand more clearer.

thanks :)

You need the driver first.
It doesn't come with SQL Server (as far as I remember).
Downloading the exe to install it is probably the easiest (and deploys it as mentioned in your post).

What did you search for?

Did you replace <version> by the version number?

E.g if you have version 1.0, you need to search for the directory, sqljdbc_1.0

If you are not sure of the driver version, just search for sqljdbc under the directory where SQLServer is installed.

That should bring up the .jar file.

The MS site, that the OP got this snippet from, explains that when you install the driver (using the exe I mention in my post) it installs it as above.

This page says about installing the driver.
If the OP hasn't installed the driver then it won't be there.

Of course they could just download the jars, but the installer is just as easy.
