Help me connect SQL server 2008 with netbeans

[ahmed30]

Hello All ,

I want to connect my SQl server 2008 , with netbeans v 6.7.1

I am using Windows 7 64 Bit , and i believe that 64 Bit is not supported by sql server!!! any way , i downloaded Windows Xp mode from microsoft website ,

and i installed netbeans 6.7.1 and SQl server 2008 at Windows Xp mode , i created an ODBC connection between them and it's working perfect.


Now , i Hope that i can create an JDBC connection from windows 7 and the Xp mode , bec. i saw a friend created it before.

Pls note that i am using the Windows Authentication , which means i have no password .

Thank You for your time
