Do I understand correctly that you're trying to connect to a Microsoft SQL Server with Spark?

Firstly JDBC is a Java standard and not compatible with Microsoft SQL Server by default. Have you installed and configured the JDBC driver? If not go to to this page: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/connect/jdbc/microsoft-jdbc-driver-for-sql-server Follow the steps in the "Getting Started section", then try again.

How do you connect to the database? Are you using Sql2o?
