Microsoft JDBC driver 4.0 and 4.1 as shipped does not contain the help files :-(
Website says:
\sqljdbc_4.1\enu\Release.txt says:
The Microsoft JDBC Driver 4.1 for SQL Server executable zip or tar file unpacks the following files in the specified locations, relative to the selected installation directory:
<installation directory>\sqljdbc_<version>\<language>\install.txt
<installation directory>\sqljdbc_<version>\<language>\release.txt
<installation directory>\sqljdbc_<version>\<language>\license.txt
<installation directory>\sqljdbc_<version>\<language>\sqljdbc.jar
<installation directory>\sqljdbc_<version>\<language>\sqljdbc4.jar
<installation directory>\sqljdbc_<version>\<language>\sqljdbc41.jar
<installation directory>\sqljdbc_<version>\<language>\auth\x86\sqljdbc_auth.dll
<installation directory>\sqljdbc_<version>\<language>\auth\x64\sqljdbc_auth.dll
<installation directory>\sqljdbc_<version>\<language>\xa\xa_install.sql
<installation directory>\sqljdbc_<version>\<language>\xa\x86\sqljdbc_xa.dll
<installation directory>\sqljdbc_<version>\<language>\xa\x64\sqljdbc_xa.dll
So where is help\default.htm??
Some folks have suggested using http://sourceforge.net/projects/jtds/ but does not list support for MS SQL Server 2014 and I don't fancy winging it.
Annoyingly even when you use the MS SQL Server Help Library that comes with Management Studio you cannot download the JDBC documentation.
Guess I will just have to look at Microsoft JDBC Driver for SQL Server online instead..
Website says:
- Download sqljdbc_<version>_<language>.exe to a temporary directory.
- Run sqljdbc_<version>_<language>.exe.
- Enter an installation directory when prompted. We recommend that you unpack this zip file in %ProgramFiles% with the default directory: "Microsoft JDBC Driver 4.x for SQL Server".
- After the package unpacks, open the JDBC Help System by opening %InstallationDirectory%\Microsoft JDBC Driver 4.x for SQL Server\sqljdbc_<version>\<language>\help\default.htm. This will display the help system in your Web browser.

And no... "Please note that the offline helpfiles have been discontinued."]
