The other thing i'm currently struggling with is the slow parameter sniffing in SQL server. We would really like to switch to the official mssql-jdbc driver but the performance is abysmal: https://github.com/microsoft/mssql-jdbc/issues/1196#issuecom...

I have also been struggling lately with prepared statements and obscure query planning decisions. The developers of the mssql JDBC driver seem to be determined to force the use of prepexec in their driver, which causes high execution times for typical ORM-generated queries: https://github.com/microsoft/mssql-jdbc/issues/1196

I've also been extremely pleased with their acceptance, communication, and turn around with bugs filed on the mssql-jdbc driver. Code is typically fixed and new versions published fairly regularly. I hope they keep it up. https://github.com/microsoft/mssql-jdbc

First off kudos to microsoft for open sourcing their JDBC driver. I would have figured microsoft would have used a linter to fix style issues with their code before Open Sourcing. E.x: https://github.com/Microsoft/mssql-jdbc/blob/master/src/main... Anyone know if microsoft is going to specify their java style guide.
