java.lang.IllegalStateException: Unable to detect database type for Sybase Datasource

I am getting the Unable to detect database type for Sybase Datasource configured in my spring boot application.

Spring boot version: 1.5.3

application.properties

spring.datasource.url=jdbc:jtds:sybase://db-server-name:5555/DBNAME
spring.datasource.username=db_user
spring.datasource.password=db_password
spring.datasource.driver-class-name=net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver

spring.jpa.database=sybase
spring.jpa.database-platform=org.hibernate.dialect.SybaseDialect

Debug Information:

// line number 75 in AbstractDatabaseInitializer class
String productName = JdbcUtils.commonDatabaseName(JdbcUtils
					.extractDatabaseMetaData(this.dataSource, "getDatabaseProductName")
					.toString());
// productName is returned as Sybase from JdbcUtils.extractDatabaseMetaData
DatabaseDriver databaseDriver = DatabaseDriver.fromProductName(productName);
// but there is no databaseDriver found and is returned as UNKNOWN. 
// There is no Sybase database configured in DatabaseDriver enum

There is no Sybase datasource configured in DatabaseDriver enum. Can you quickly help to fix this issue ?

There’s no need to post anything on Stack Overflow now. I’ve already explained what to do in my comment above. We can’t detect a product name when you use the jTDS driver as it supports more than one database (SQL Server and Sybase, IIRC). This is already described in the javadoc for DatabaseDriver.

Hi Wilkinsona, Thanks for your response, I thought that this would be an issue as the driver is not listed in DatabaseDriver enum. As it is very urgent and seemed to be an issue , I posted it here. I will post it in Stack overflow as well. Will come back if it really an issue.
