Release Notes
The SQL Server sqlvariant data type is not currently
supported by the Microsoft JDBC driver. If a query is used to retrieve data
from a table that contains a column of the sqlvariant data type, an exception
occurs. There are two workarounds to fix this issue:
·
Use CAST to type cast the sqlvariant columns to the
data type you want.
Or
·
Use the jTDS driver to connect.
