 * Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Driver for JDBC

SYMPTOMS
JDBC applications insert the java.sql.timestamp values into Microsoft SQL Server 2000 databases by using the Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Driver for JDBC. When the java.sql.timestamp values are close to a transition to or from daylight-saving time, some java.sql.timestamp values may not be translated to the appropriate SQL Server date and time values.



CAUSE
This problem occurs because an algorithm in the SQL Server 2000 Driver for JDBC translates some java.sql.timestamp values incorrectly to SQL Server date and time values that are one hour off from the correct time.
