Symptoms
Consider the following scenario:
-
You have a Java application that uses Microsoft SQL Server JDBC Driver version 3.0 and Java Runtime Environment version 1.7 (JRE 1.7) to connect to a SQL Server database.
-
The application uses any of the following functions to obtain a date from the database:
-
getDate()
-
getTimeStamp()
-
getDateTimeOffset()
-
-
The data type in the SQL Server database is DATE, DATETIME2, or DATETIMEOFFSET.
In this scenario, the function returns an incorrect date value.Notes
-
This issue occurs only when the date value that is returned by the function is more recent than the year 1582 in the Gregorian calendar.
-
This issue does not occur if the application uses one of the following combinations of components:
-
Microsoft SQL Server JDBC Driver version 3.0 and JRE 1.5 or JRE 1.6
-
Microsoft SQL Server JDBC Driver version 2.0 and JRE 1.7
-
Cause
The behavior of the functions that are described in the "Symptoms" section depends on the Java calendar APIs. Because of changes in the behavior of these APIs, Microsoft SQL Server JDBC Driver version 3.0 returns incorrect values.
Resolution
Microsoft SQL Server JDBC Driver version 3.0 was modified so that the functions that are described in the "Symptoms" section return correct values regardless of the JRE version. Microsoft JDBC Driver 4.0 for SQL Server will also contain this modification.
