    PreparedStatement.setTimeStamp() don't support DateTime2 in the actual version 2.0.1607.1. Will setTimeStamp() support DateTime in the final Release?

    Hello Michael, Thank-you for your feedback regarding wanting to see PrepareStatement.setTimeStamp() API support the SQL Server 2008 DateTime2 data type.  The v2.0 release is focused on supporting the JDBC 4.0 API specification. While we do not currently support the DateTime2 data type, please read this blog entry (http://blogs.msdn.com/jdbcteam/archive/2008/09/28/working-with-sql-server-2008-date-time-data-types-using-v1-2-jdbc-driver.aspx). It discusses how to retrieve DateTime2 data types. You should be able to set the DateTime2 data type using the setString() function, assuming it is in the proper format. We do have plans to support SQL Server 2008 data types in a future release of the driver, with the DateTime2 data type being one of them. We welcome suggestions regarding what SQL Server 2008 features we should support in the next release of our driver so please feel free to go ahead and voice your opinion here (http://blogs.msdn.com/jdbcteam/archive/2008/10/14/sql-server-2008-feature-support-survey.aspx). Sincerely, Tres London SQL Server JDBC Team

    When will you support spatial data types? It's impossible to use it for us without this basic function!

    Jan, do you want just the spatial data or do you want the whole functionality provided by the spatial types. If the solution only works in Windows via the JDBC driver would that be acceptable to you?
