Database: MSSQL
Issue
When configuring a "Read from DB" stage in Spectrum 9.0, with a MSSQL database, Spectrum is converting a "datetime" field into a "string".

Cause
The default JDBC driver for MSSQL is not compatible with the version of MSSQL being used.
Resolution
UPDATED: August 24, 2017A new JDBC driver is required to use this version of MSSQL, the driver can be acquired from Microsoft.
