JDBC 2.0 method not implemented error using bea jDriver for MS-SQLServer 2000

Question

I'm trying to reconfigure WebLogic Portal 7.0 (Platform 7.0 SP2) to run on MS SQLServer
2000. According to the supported platform docs, the MS JDBC driver is not supported
by Portal, hence I'm using the BEA jDriver for SQLServer.
I'm now getting the following error when starting up Weblogic Portal which requires
a re-sync with the EBCC before the applications will work.
<28-Aug-03 09:28:30 BST> <Error> <Data Synchronization> <000000> <Application:
portalApp; Corrupted data encountered in the persistent store; PLEASE RE-SYNCHRONIZE
YOUR APPLICATION DATA WITH MODE "refresh-from-client" BEFORE CONTINUING! Failure
to do so may result in incomplete or otherwise corrupted server state.
Exception[com.bea.p13n.management.data.repository.PersistenceException: Failed
to refresh JDBC Persistence Manager.] - with embedded exception: [java.sql.SQLException:
java.sql.SQLException: This JDBC 2.0 method is not implemented] at com.bea.p13n.management.data.repository.persistence.JdbcDataSource.refresh(JdbcDataSource.java:506)
Has anyone else come across this problem and know how to resolve it. I have tried
using the MS JDBC Driver on the off chance that it would work, but this also produced
SQL Exceptions with the persistance store and would not work at all even after
syncing with the EBCC

Jim,
Thanks, I'm awaiting for my account to be enabled with customer contract support.
When this is done I will raise a case and send files as requested.
In the mean time it's worth noting that these settings have been made. Connection
to the DB is fine, the createDB, loadads, loaddocs and sync etc all worked fine.
The problem only exists when restarting the server and the portal persistance
store is trying to be refereshed. Once EBCC is re-synced all the DB access works
fine.

Please open a support case and send in your set-environment.bat,
db_settings.properties, and config.xml from your domain directory after
trying the following.
Given that your operating system is Windows for performing all database
operations like create_db, loaddocs, sync. (because you should not
bother trying to run them on with UNIX).
Restore your set-environment.bat to it's original state. It does not
need to be touched.
Uncomment the MSSQL section in db_settings.properties.
database=MSSQL
db_version=2000
jdbcdriver=weblogic.jdbc.mssqlserver4.Driver

The dataSyncPool entry in config.xml should appear as:
