Purchase or not ODBC Driver for MS SQL Server 2005

Hi experts,
We have Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard with MS SQL SERVER 2005 and our other branch want to access this system's Database at their end.
other branch is planning to integrate database record to ERP
Can u confirm whether they have to purchase ODBC driver or not.
from where i can purchase ODBC driver online.
Best Regards,
Pardeep

Hello,
The data provider like ODBC and SQL Server Native Client are already integrated in all common MS Windows OS, so in common you don't need to install additional provider.
But if you want to install and newer version, then you can get it for free from
Feature Pack for Microsoft SQL Server 2005 SP4 => sqlncli.msi ( = SQL Native Client, which includes ODBC)

Problems upgrading to JDBC 5.1 driver for MS SQL Server

Hi,
I recently upgraded to the Weblogic JDBC 5.1 driver for MS SQL Server and I am
now receiving exceptions in my application when attempting to execute a prepared
statement. I was previously using the Weblogic JDBC 4.x driver for MS SQL Server
and everything was working fine without any problems. For some reason I am receiving
a java.lang.CloneNotSupportedException using the new driver. I am using the setLong(),
setString(), and setObject() methods of the PreparedStatement and then attempting
to execute. The application code has not changed, so it seems that something
has changed in the new driver implementation. Has anyone else had this problem
or know a work around? Here is a snippet of the actual exception:
S2 [09/30/02 10:46]: java.sql.SQLException: java.lang.CloneNotSupportedException

Is it true that the Weblogic jDriver for MS SQL Server is deprecated? That's the
message that I got from BEA Support and here is the link they sent:
http://edocs.bea.com/wls/docs70/mssqlserver4/install_jmsq4.html#415356
It recommends using Microsoft's JDBC driver instead. Any thoughts on this? From
what I understand and what I have read on the newsgroups, the Microsoft JDBC driver
is still quite buggy and has numerous problems.
Thanks, Nadeem.It is deprecated, but still supported, and is more recent in the download than the one in
the 5.1 server. We do recommend MS's driver, or that of www.inetsoftware.de. The
MS driver is fairly stable now, and may certainly have bugs, as does our driver. The MS
driver is good because it is not deprecated, and supports JDBC 2.0 etc.

What version of 5.1? You should be running with the latest service pack.
If that doesn't help, please download the latest 5.1 driver from our
site, and
make sure it's in the weblogic.classpath ahead of all other stuff, by
editting the
startWeblogic script.

Hi Chris,
We have used the same because we have downloaded the driver from following location
https://websmp108.sap-ag.de/msplatforms ; > SQL Server > JDBC Driver for MS SQL Server (Version 3.70.10)
I have tried with both "com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver"; and "com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver";, but still I am facing the same error.
Service market place has given the driver as "JDBC Driver for MS SQL Server (Version 3.70.10)", is there a way to find out if it is for 2000 or 2005?
Thanks for your reply.

Driver for Microsoft SQL SERVER 2008 (MII 12.0.X)

Hi,
we have MII 12.0.11 and we need to access a database on Microsoft SQL Server 2008.
I need a suggestion on the driver choice...because the Microsoft JDBC drivers for SQL Server 2008 on the following links officially need at least JDK 5...and for what I know our MII version is based on Netweaver 7.0 on Java 1.4.

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=c47053eb-3b64-4794-950d-81e1ec91c1ba
which, on the contrary, doesn't support SQL Server 2008.

How to set the CLASSPATH for an Sql Server 2005 database... help me please

Hello! Guys I want to access a Sql Server 2005 database from Java.I've downloaded the JDBC 2.0 driver from Microsoft.I've copied the sqljdbc4.jar file to C:\Java\jdk1.6.0_14\db\lib.And I've added this to the classpath C:\Java\jdk1.6.0_14\db\lib\sqljdbc4.jar.The classpath variable is defined as a user variable.Well the point is that I get that nasty exception:Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver.So if you know how to help me,please do so.Thank you :)

Hi Timo,
My jdev version is 10.1.3.3.0, this is for R12. By PR i mean to say process request and PFR process form request in the controller.
In the Process request of the controller, i am finding the checkbox bean and assigning the firepartialaction for it.
Later in the process form request for the fired event, i am trying to handle the rendered property of the messagetextinput. Is this a right approach?
my code below
public void processRequest(OAPageContext oapagecontext, OAWebBean oawebbean)
super.processRequest(oapagecontext, oawebbean);
OAApplicationModule oaapplicationmodule = oapagecontext.getApplicationModule(oawebbean);
OAMessageCheckBoxBean oamessagecheckboxbean = (OAMessageCheckBoxBean)oawebbean.findChildRecursive("X_FLAG");
if(oamessagecheckboxbean != null)
oapagecontext.writeDiagnostics(this, "Message check box Bean found:", 1);
FirePartialAction firepartialaction = new FirePartialAction("change");
oamessagecheckboxbean.setAttributeValue(PRIMARY_CLIENT_ACTION_ATTR, firepartialaction);
oamessagecheckboxbean.setFireActionForSubmit("change", null, null, true);
oapagecontext.writeDiagnostics(this, "setting fire event", 1);
public void processFormRequest(OAPageContext oapagecontext, OAWebBean oawebbean)
super.processFormRequest(oapagecontext, oawebbean);
oapagecontext.writeDiagnostics(this, "Inside Process Form Request", 1);
if("change".equals(oapagecontext.getParameter(OAWebBeanConstants.EVENT_PARAM)))
OAMessageTextInputBean bean = (OAMessageTextInputBean)oawebbean.findChildRecursive("X_NUMBER");
if(bean!=null){
bean.setRendered(Boolean.TRUE);}

HI All,
I am using JDBC driver to pull data from MS SQL Server
2000 for my application Liaison Content Exchange, and
which only accepts JDBC drivers to talk to databases.
I dowloaded the driver from Microsoft website, and had
a successful installation.What do you call "a successful installation"? Where was the JAR file places?
But the application ask me for Driver Name, Class, URL, Time out and Data Source.What application do you mean? Liaison Content Exchange? I'm not familiar with that product.
By default no driver is available in the drop down combo box. After using
"com.microsoft.jdbcx.sqlserver.SQLServerDataSource" as
class and
jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://192.168.17.2:1433; as url,
the application throw me a error which states "Unable
to instantiate an instance of the application driver"Sounds like it could be one of several things:
(1) The JDBC JAR is not in the CLASSPATH where Liaison Content Exchange expects to find it.
(2) You need to do something else to tell Liaison Content Exchange more information to define the data source.
(3) The URL might be incorrect. Only you can know if the IP address of the host is correct. You don't supply a database name - perhaps you should. Are you sure that 1433 is the correct port number? I know that's true for SQL Server 7.0, but I remember that the default was changed to something else for SQL Server 2000. Ask your database admin what port this listener is assigned to for SQL Server 2000.
(4) You might want to append ";selectmethod=cursor" to the end of your URL. (See the docs for this.)
(5) Make sure you can connect to the database with something other than Java (e.g., the M$ SQL Server client).
. I am not able to trouble shoot this problem, any one
pls help me ASAP at [email protected]
Thx.Bad idea to post an e-mail address. You're not supposed to communicate outside the forum. it's against the guidelines for using the forum.
