I tried as suggested with Data Loader API 21 and it didn't work.

I was wondering if you could post a sample of your dbDataSource bean? Also, I have tried to use both jdbc and jtds jar files, perhaps I dont have mine in the right place? I have put them in the same folder as the process-conf and database conf xml files. I have posted to the developerforce site but no replies . . . here is my dbDataSource bean: You have a great qoute in your blog post . . . ‘DataLoader allows a job to be configured where a SOQL query is run, the data is extracted from Salesforce and the results are inserted into a database.
