SetDate Error - Optional feature not implemented

Question

Hi I am trying to execute a PreparedStatement to do an insert, I to the best of my knowledge am using it correctly but I still get this ERROR:
java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Optional feature not implementedHere is a code sample:
//SQL Create Table
create table[test]
     [id] int not null identity primary key,
     [name] varchar(30) not null,
--     [date] datetime not null     --Same result with this
     [date] smalldatetime not null
GO
//Java Code
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.PreparedStatement;
public class DataExporter {
    private Connection conn = null;
    private PreparedStatement prep = null;
    public DataExporter() throws Exception{
            Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
            conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:MyDatabaseDNSName");
            prep = conn.prepareStatement("INSERT INTO [TEST] ([NAME],[DATE]) VALUES(?,?)");
    public boolean run(String name, java.sql.Date date) throws Exception{
            prep.setString(1, name);
            prep.setDate(2, date);
            return prep.execute();
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception{
        DataExporter dExp = new DataExporter();
        java.sql.Date date = new java.sql.Date(System.currentTimeMillis());
        System.out.println("Check Value:\t" + date.toString());
        System.out.println("Result:\t" + dExp.run("Neil", date));
}This is my results:
Check Value:     2008-09-10

Thanx yawmark, I will try it.
Just tell me: although I am using Java 6 at home,
I use Java 1.4 at work were I will actually need this,
What is the minimum version of Java that JTDS will work with(1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6)? [JTDS feature matrix|http://jtds.sourceforge.net/features.html] (from the link I already posted).
