10G Forms connect to MS Access via JDBC

A new project requires a 10G Form to connect to MS Access database. I understand 10G no longer connects to Access using ODBC. Will JDBC work? If JDBC can be used does anyone have a "How To" document or examples on how to connect orms 10G to MS Access via JDBC
Thanks
Ralph

I dont think it will work. In 10g forms is going to implement transparent gateways.
Is there a possibility of getting the data from MS access directly to Oracle database and then connect to Oracle DB from forms ?

Load balancing 10g forms - Connection from new browser window not supported

Load balancing 10g forms - Connection from new browser window not supported
We're experimenting with using webcache to load balance between multiple applications servers running OC4J forms processes.
We currently have one machine with infrastructure and mid-tier (BI & Forms) installed, which is being used for the webcache functionality, this is load balancing between 2 other servers each of which just have the mid-tier (BI & Forms) installation
In order to get this to work, I had to follow the instructions in the Forms deployment guide : http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_11/web.1012/b14032/tuning.htm#sthref707
The main gist of this is that you need to set the following in the orion-web.xml file in order that the sessions are maintained:
<session-tracking
cookies="enabled">
</session-tracking>
This all works fine in most cases.
The problem I am having is if I do one of the following on the client machine:
1) From IE6 / IE7 run a copy of a forms application. Then open a new window using the "New Window" menu option, and attempt to run another forms application.
2) In IE7 or Firefox 2.0 open a copy of the forms application, and then open a new tab and try and open another forms application.
If I try either of these I get a FRM-92101 error, and the following is displayed in the java console:
oracle.forms.net.ConnectionException: Connection from new browser window not supported
From trawling various forums (including metalink and otn) it looks like a problem with the way coockies are handled.
Unfortunately the usual workaround is to ensure that the session tracking option in the orion-web.xml file is disabled.
The problem is that I need this enabled in order for the load balancing to work.
Does anyone know of any other workarounds or patches that might help resolve this?
We're using Application server 10.1.2.0.2 running on windows 2003 servers.

You were right. Carriage returns were stopping it from working (the document is laid out over separate lines, so I assumed it would make no difference...).
I've now managed to get it so the forms at least run, but they are all being run in the forms OC4J instance on the same machine as the OHS.
Has anyone actually managed to get this to work, or am I doing something wrong?
I did wonder if using an OHS instance on a machine with no forms installation would make any difference?
I had raised a support call via metalink on this subject, but they eventually came to the conclusion that the only way to do this is with a hardware load balancer (Despite several documents suggesting that webcache is the way to go (including the forms deployment manual)).
I'm at the point now of giving up and writing some custom scripts to do the job instead...

Connecting to IDMS database via JDBC

Has anyone successfully set up JDBC connectivity to generate reports using data in an IDMS mainframe database containing multiple schemas, where several schemas may contain tables with the same name?
We have no issues when using ODBC to connect to the various schemas in this IDMS databases, but we need to convert the connectivity for existing reports to JDBC.
When I open the JDBC connection, I see the expected hierarchy of schemas and tables in the Database Expert window. If I try to select a table I get the following error message if a table of that same name exists in other schemas:
Failed to retrieve data from the database.
Details: SQL exception: [SQL State:] 42000 [Error message:] DB002046 T11094 C-4M347: Duplicate table ids for ASISCHEM.SR-ACT and CORPCHEM.SR-ACT in area CORPDB.ACTIVITY-AREA [Database Vendor Code: -4]
So although we can connect to the database via JDBC, we can't use the connectivity because Crystal does not appear to correctly resolve that I'm selecting the table from within a specific schema.
Can anyone advise on how to make sure the table name selection is qualified by the correct schema name?
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
Try running the query outside of CR to verify the JDBC driver is passing the fully qualified name also.
Then look in the Designer and Show SQL to verify it's there as well as Set Table Location. You may be able to fully qualify it in that UI.
Thank you

Abap-table access via JDBC

Hello,
we have a java-program, that accesses data via jdbc to a mysql-database.
Now we want to migrate the mysql-table to abap-table.
How can we access from the java-program to theese migrated abap-tables via jdbc?
Regards Oliver

Oliver,
If you want to access those tables from SAP, then you have to use the Java Connectors (
JCO).
Please write the more details abount the java IDE and OS, which you are using I will send you appropriate help.

Maximum number of connections for MS Access with JDBC

Hi guys,
does anyone know about the maximum no. of connections that MS Access can have with JDBC...

MS Access has not limit. It doesn't work that way.
There is certainly going to be some resource limit however, if nothing else then memory will eventually run out.

Connecting to crystal report via JDBC

Hi,
I am new to Crystal Reports. I want to connect to MSSQL Database using JDBC drivers. I was wondering if there is a way I can use JDBC drivers for connection with Crystal Reports when designing the report ?
Thanks
Sherif

Hi Sheriff,
I am not aware of CR 9 as it is out of support. But in CRXIR2 and CR2008 you can simply do it while creating new report. In the wizard you just need to select JDBC(JNDI) option under Create new connection.
After that just specify the connection url and JDBC class name.
I would suggest you to upgrade your product to CR2008 as it has excellent new features which would realy help you with the same.

Inserting data into Ms Access via jdbc odbc connectivity

Can anyone help dictate what's wrong with this below method which is supposed to be adding new record(append) into my ms Access Table. This is giving me a hell of problem, I thought I have everything well. The module is branched via a Swing ui. Can you debug this ? and send a new code to try?
public void Query3(){
try{
//while(rs.next() )
stmt.executeUpdate("INSERT INTO pupRegister_Table1 " +
"VALUES ('1001', 'Simpson', 'Mr.', 'Springfield', '2001')");
//stmt.executeUpdate ("INSERT INTO pupRegister_Table1 " +
//"VALUES(var_firstname)");
// Close the result set, statement and the connection
rs.close() ;
stmt.close() ;
conn.close() ;
} catch( SQLException se )
System.out.println( "SQL Exception:" ) ;
Thanks. Note I have done all the DriverManager stuff already and other modules like for displaying the records, do work fine.

Thanks a lot,
that contribution really helped but I realised that I Missed adding the
insertRow();
that did the trick and it works fine now
Thanks
Yet another issue is about inserting the current date into the date field having data type as date. Hence I am using the Jdbc stuff. I am having problem here
any further help?

JSP connected to MS Access using JDBC-ODBC

If I want to run a jsp file connected to a MS Access database using jdbc-odbc bridge.
I thought that I should use the following code to make the connection:
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
String database = "jdbc:odbc:Driver={Microsoft Access Driver(*.mdb)}; DBQ=http://myComputerName:8080/examples/jsp/DatabaseTest/mydatabase.mdb;DriverID=22;READONLY=fals";
sqlca = DriverManager.getConnection(database, "dba","sql");
but Tomcat 4.1 produces many errors.
The file runs fine when I determine the complete path and include the local drive (C://) of the database Like the following:
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
String database = "jdbc:odbc:Driver={Microsoft Access Driver(*.mdb)};
DBQ=C:/Tomcat4.1/webapps/examples/jsp/DatabaseTest/mydatabase.mdb;DriverID=22;READONLY=fals";
sqlca = DriverManager.getConnection(database, "dba","sql");
Of course I do not want to use the second code because I want to use my computer as a host.
I will appreciate any answer!

Yes, using the DSN, it works fine.
But, I think it will run from the drive C.
I want to use my computer as a host. So, I think that I should include the name of the computer in the path.
I do not know may I am confused.
I appreciate your reply. Thanks!

Forms-Connect-with-MS Access

Can We connect MS Access Database
with Oracle Forms 4.5/5/6/6i ?
if yes then how ? or Forms support any database
except oracle ?

Look for a file called oca_info.pdf on your install. This is the file which tells you about connecting to non oracle dbs.

Remote database access via JDBC?

Hello,
Can anyone give me info on accessing remote databases (i.e. Microsoft
Access, etc) from Java programs (Servlets, JSP's, Classes) residing on the
iSeries (AS400) or perhaps any platform?
I currently have a couple of web applications set up on the Websphere App server that access DB2/400 database and I also have some Java Classes on PC's that access MS Access datafiles. I would like to begin writing the majority of my applications that run on the iSeries (or host system) that can remotely access other databases on our network.
Any info would be of great help to me.
Thank you
Don

I don't know of any existing Access JDBC drivers that support remote access, after all, the Access database itself is not remote access capable except via file sharing. One possibility is to look for a Type 3 JDBC driver that supports reuse of other Type 1 (ODBC bridge), Type 2 (Java/Native Mix) and Type 4 (pure Java)JDBC drivers on the server side.
If you were using WebLogic Server, I suppose you could use its remote JDBC facilities, but that won't help you.
One problem you will have to face is that Access JDBC drivers are not (if I recall) meant to be used in a multithreaded fashion. Good luck. By the way, it might be far simpler to port the Access database to DB2/400.

Connection to MS Access via DBCO

Hello all,
does anyone have experience with a DBCO connection to a MS Access database?
Is this possible?
We have tried following inserts in DBCON, but no access:
CON NAME           ACCESS
DBMS                   MSS
USER NAME         <any name>

DB RECO
MAX CONNECTIONS    0
OPT CONNECTIONS    0
Best regards

Hi Detlef,
Can you please let me know how you did this connection?? because I couldn't find the MS access database in DBMS list of DBCO tcode. I could only find below list in my system -
ADA- SAP DB (ADABAS/D)
DB2     - DB2 UDB for OS/390
DB4     - DB2 UDB for AS/400
DB6     - DB2 UDB for Unix and Windows
INF     - Informix
MSS     - Microsoft SQL Server
ORA      - Oracle
Your prompt response will be highly appreciable.

Jayendra.

Error in extracting String value from MS ACCESS via JDBC

Something wierd occurs in my program. I have a ACCESS database table named FormDetail. The attributes are:
name memo
val memo
The actual data store in such a table is
haihe 2
String test="SELECT name, val FROM FormDetail";
rs = stmt.executeQuery(test);
while(rs.next())
{ String name = rs.getString("name");
String value = rs.getString("val");
System.out.println("name: "+name+" value: "+value);
When I execute the code, the output is
name: haihe value:
NO VALUE print out. Why?
Any suggestion will be helpful! Thanks!

Though not using Access myself in the moment, I remember a lot of post about its memo fields.
Recommend to search for "+access +memo" here.

Connecting TopLink to MQseries via EIS and J2C adapter

Hi all,
has anybody connected successfully TopLink with (non-relational) datasource MQSeries?
I have tree-tier-architecture with a custom server and RMI-clients. TopLink resides within this custom server (NOT J2EE App server) and connects to DB2 (mainframe) via JDBC. Now I'm trying to establish a connection to MQ as well and two phase commit. Has anybody experience with it? Best regards

Set the TV to the input you connected the HDMI cable to.
On your computer, if you open the Displays preferences and do not see an Arrangement tab (or there is an Arrangement tab that shows only a single monitor) then there is something physically wrong with your connection. Try clicking Detect Displays just to see if the computer can now sense the presence of the connection. Check your cables and make sure the mini-displayport plug is pushed firmly in so that essentially all the metal part disappears inside the socket. Mini-displayport plugs can be a little tricky in that you need to make sure the plug is fully seated in their socket.
Once you do have an Arrangement tab, and it shows two screens, then click Gather Windows to bring the TV's Displays preferences on to your main screen if the TV is not yet showing an image. Set the proper resolution (probably 720p, 1080i, or 1080p). Set the refresh rate (probably 60Hz) if that preference is shown. You should see a picture at this point. I recommend turning off mirrored displays if it is enabled.
You may have to play with the underscan/overscan settings on your TV and the displays prefs for the TV if the picture is too small or larger for the TV screen.
Also, you need to set your Sound preferences to output to the HDMI connection. If the MBP doesn't support audio through the mini-displayport then you will need to connect your stereo audio out to your TV (3.5 mm stereo jack for the compter to usually RCA jacks on the TV).
And when running Lion, do not run in Lion full screen mode.

Connection to Personal Oracle8 with JDBC - JDK 1.2
