Perhaps they can. Why don't you ask them? <g>

Sorry, that was mean. Look, if you have a specific problem, feel free to
ask about it, but don't go asking us to tell you all about how to
install SQL Server when the Microsoft document supplied with the product
are already more than adequate. And when it's not even a Java question
in the first place.

Now here's a hint on the Java side. Once you have SQL Server running,
look for the jTDS JDBC driver on Sourceforge.

You may have more luck if you send your request to a more appropriate
newsgroup such as comp.databases.ms-sqlserver

You may also want to buy yourself a book on general Java programming. I
like "Learning Java" from O'Reilly:

  http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/learnjava3

but that's just my opinion, of course.

Once you're confident that you understand the basics of Java
programming, you will need to read a book that focusses on JDBC, which
is Java's database programming package. "Database Programming with JDBC
& Java" is quite good:

  http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/jdbc2/

but there are plenty of others out there, and Sun provides an online
JDBC tutorial for free:
