I'm getting the following entries in my log file on every hibernate invocation:

The logs seem harmless enough, but is this normal? Is there a way to disable this logging without eliminating all logs from JDBCExceptionReporter?

This is a stupid Sybase/SQL Server trick. It happens regardless of whether the connection is made from hibernate. Solution is to get a real database. I don't have that choice but you might.
