Access database query import

I have some queries stored in databases from MS Access which I am trying to import into DIAdem. I use the open with option for the database to select the query I wish to load and then chose selective opening to grab the columns of data I really want. It appears to import the data but only the first 27890 entries - the total is approx 750,000. Why is only about 27890 entries being imported?

Hi Jim,
No, I am not sure why you are experiencing this difference in load behavior. We tried to replicate your situation here and were able to successfully load either by selecting the whole table or specific columns within that table:
ACCESS Table with 7 columns, each column with 560 000 values
Tested on both a DIAdem 9.1 SP2c computer and a DIAdem 10.1 SP1 computer (clean installs)
Result in DIAdem:
7 channels, each channel with 560 000 values if I load the table complete
3 channels, each channel with 560 000 values if I load selected channels
The first step is for us to reproduce your symptoms. Would it be possible for you to post your Access database on our ftp.ni.com/incoming server?
How much RAM do you have on your computer?

Access database query resultset in java scriptlet

Question:
1) I am Creating a web page and plotting points on the page:
2) Database query results in decimal values dec_latitude and dec_longiitude.
3) Perform calculations on lati. & long. in a java scriptlet to create a plot position (xpos, ypos).
4) Send the xpos and ypos back to the java server page
5) Use <IMG and absolute positioning to plot the point at position xpos, and ypos.
6) Repeat until all rows in the query result set have been plotted.
I don't know how to pass the dec_latitude and dec_longitude to the java scriptlet.
After the java scriptlet calculation translates the latitude and longitude
into xpos and ypos, I need to pass the xpos and ypos back to the java server page so that a data point is plotted on a map at position xpos, ypos.
I tried many ways of doing it but am just guessing as
to how to pass the data.
Thanks in Advance. - John
Here is what I am trying so far .... see snippet below:
The code below results in a runtime error.
Am I supposed to create a java object and access that in the java scriptlet? Can the java scriptlet access the latvar and longvar created during the "<c:set var="latvar"... ?
If not, what mechanisum do I use to access the resulting colums: dec_latitude and dec_longitude? I need the java scriptlet to convert the
dec_latitude and dec_longitude into a display position based on the number of pixels from the TOP and LEFT (xpos, ypos). Then plot of the data point using the IMG and (xpos, ypos). This will overlay a map whose z-index is lower than the plotted data point.

I still get a runtime error: I translated the code you gave to code below .... which I think is equivalent. See Below: I'm still learning about this stuff so I may not have not translated this properly. Do
you see what I am doing wrong?

Access Database Query

I am running a query on an access database, but am getting some strange results. The problem might be access and not Visual studio though.
Here is the core of the problem:
If I run the following query, I get exactly what I want
SELECT ID, Question, Solved, Date_Created, Date_Last_Edit, Date_Closed
FROM(
SELECT F.ID AS Ident, Count(F.ID) AS Num
FROM(
SELECT Keywords, ID, Question, Solved, Date_Created, Date_Last_Edit, Date_Closed
FROM(
SELECT ID, Solved, Date_Created, Date_Closed, Date_Last_Edit, Question, Model, Keywords.Value AS Y FROM Questions) AS X INNER JOIN Keywords ON X.Y =Keywords.ID
Where Keywords = "Back" ) As F
Group By F.ID
HAVING (((Count(F.ID)) =1)))
As T Inner Join Questions
On T.Ident = Questions.ID
But, if I change
Where Keywords = "Back"
to
Where Keywords Like "*Ba*"
I get nothing from my query. No errors, just no data.
The strange thing is, if I output my query to a message box, and copy and paste it into access and run the query, it runs just fine. I've double checked all the syntax and I don't get a syntax error back from the code anyway.

Trying to display results from access database query on a JSP

Seem to be having real difficulty with this one, i keep getting a null pointer exception :(. Wondered if anyone could point me to any examples of displaying the results on jsp. The database is connected, as i can display the query on netbeans, but just not on a jsp.

I think it would be good if we had a section in these forums for pre-canned answers to the same questions that come up again and again. It would save time.
Here is a rough outline for using JSP:
* Read a JSP book.
* The JSP page (View in MVC) should get all the data it needs to display from a useBean and/or request.getAttribute().
* The JSP page should not have any business logic. Its purpose is to display data only (and have some submit buttons such as 'update').
You can do some basic client side validation using javascript if you want. Because there is no business logic in it, you can easily debug
your code in the servlet or business logic. You can't set breakpoints in JSP and examine data easily.
* When you click the submit button, all data from <input type="text" tags, etc is put into request scope via name/value pairs.
* Submit the JSP page <form tag to a servlet (Control in MVC).
* The servlet reads the name/value pairs of data from the JSP page via request.getParameter()
* The servlet should then instansiate a business object (Model in MVC), passing the data it got from the page to the business logic.
Example: ProcessPage processPage();
if(request.getParameter("updateButtonClicked"))
processPage.updateData(data from the jsp page)
* The business logic should instansiate a separate database object (DAO) to get data to/from the database. Business logic should not have sql in it.
Business logic should not generate html. Business logic should not have request objects in it.
* The business logic should return data to the servlet that in turn will put it in request scope via request.setAttribute() so the JSP page can draw itself.
* The servlet should then call up the approprate JSP page.

SQL Query with MS-Access Database

Hi,
I have linked my oracle database with MS-Access via a DB LINK. i can access the data from MS-ACCESS, but i have a problem that when i specify the column name or define a where clause in my query it gives me the error ORA-00904: invalid identfier ..
This query fetch the data without any problem SELECT * FROM TBLREPORT@M_ACCESS but when i run SELECT EMP_ID FROM TBLREPORT@M_ACCESS it gives me the error i mentioned above. (Column name have No problem or mistake of spelling even CASE)
also when i try to put where clause in the query it gives me same error SELECT * FROM TBLREPORT@M_ACCESS WHERE EMP_ID = '100' (Error)
is there any change in SQL query for ACCESS database ??
any clue
Regards
Rehman

Are column/table names in access case sensitive? Issue
DESC TBLREPORT@M_ACCESS If column EMP_ID actual name shows up in mixed/lower case, enclose it in double quotes and use the exact case. E.g., if column name shows up as Emp_Id, use:
SELECT "Emp_Id" FROM TBLREPORT@M_ACCESSSY.

Query MS Access Database

OK - I have a customer that wants to write out to an MS Access Database from Livecycle. I know this is BAD but they have their reasons - i.e. they have a sever shortage of skills for anything more complex.
Firstly - I created a Java program to test the JDBC ODBC connection - this worked fine - ran queries and updated OK (code is attached)
Howver I have tried connecting to Access from within Livecycle in two different ways - both are failing
Firstly - using the JNDI setup for JDBC ODBC e.g.
<datasources>
<local-tx-datasource>
    <jndi-name>MSAccess_DS</jndi-name>
    
    <connection-url>jdbc:odbc:DBFormData</connection-url>
    <driver-class>sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver</driver-class>
    <user-name></user-name>
    <password></password>
</local-tx-datasource>
</datasources>
Calling this within a Livecycle process does not return an error to the process, but the log generates an error:
2009-08-29 23:01:30,768 WARN [org.jboss.resource.connectionmanager.JBossManagedConnectionPool] Throwable while attempting to get a new connection: null
org.jboss.resource.JBossResourceException: Could not create connection; - nested throwable: (java.sql.SQLException: General error)
I also tried creating a Java Component and importing it - by creating a very basic jar and importing it to livecycle (based on the same code I used in my Java testing)
It also gave me the general error - and I can see it is happening on the line:
        Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(dbURL, "","");
Any ideas on what is going wrong, or a workaround? (Assuming that I have to use Access)
Thanks
Tim

OK I solved this. This was only happening on the Win2K3 server - not on my local dev instance
On the server I set the JBoss service to run under the local admin account (in the Services Panel) - after a service restart the jdbc odbc connection worked fine. It must have been some permissions with the system account

How to insert date into ms access database using sql query in servlet

sir all thing is working well now only tell me how we can insert date into ms access database which is input by user .
insert into db2(bookname,studentname,date) values('"+bname+"','"+sname+"',date_format)";{code}
or either the system date is inserted with query .
plz help me
thanx

thanxAnd that SQL statement is another reason to use PreparedStatement. I assume bname and sname are input from some form? Well, if that's the case, simply inserting them into SQL by simple String concatenation is just begging for all sorts of problems. What if there is an apostrophe in the entry? Broken Statement. Worse, it's a wide open invitation to an SQL Injection attack.

Linking to an Access Database (accdb) - calculated field in query

Using Crystal Report v 14 we have a problem linking to an Access 2010 database (accdb file format).
We created a query in the Access database with a calculated field that we want to use to link with Great Pllains database. We can see the query using the database expert and the OLEDB (ADO) data source. The problem is that the calculated field in the Access query does not show in the link manager.
What is the best wat to link an Access table that has a job number containing hyphens (111-222-333) with the other database that has the job number stored without hyphens (111222333)? Why does our query solution not work?

Hi,
I'm not sure if this can be handled at the Database query level, however this can surely be handled from the report level.
You would need to insert a subreport with Great Pllains as its datasource. The Main report's data source would be the access table.
Next, in the Main report you would need to create a formula to remove the hyphens from the string and convert it back to number. Use this formula:
tonumber(replace(,"-",""));
You can then palce this formula in the details section/group section (which ever is applicable) and then link the subreports's job number field with this formula field. A record selection formula is automatically added in the subreport when you do so.
Also, make sure the sub-report is place in the same section this formula field is placed in, otherwise you can get unexpected results.
Hope this helps!

This assumes thatJobID and MatLotID are number fields.

Is it possible to import an Access database and forms

Is it possible to import an Access database and forms into apex

Yes and no.. Sorry.. The Access data tables and data can be imported into the database, through SQL Developer. The forms I don't believe will be ported over. What will be created through is a set of maintenance report and form sets for each table you convert over.
That is a good start to converting the database over, since you will probably want to re-do your Access style vba coding to use the available templates and pl/sql code..
Thank you,

Import an Access database?

Is it possible to import Access databases into Xcelius rather than Excel databases, or is this only possible by using Excel functions to import data into the Excel file and then use the Excel in Xcelsius?

Xcelsius is driven exclusively by Excel content. All dashboards must be connected to an Excel spreadsheet. With the Enterprise version dashboards can then be connected to any XML compliant database to dynamically refresh data.

Import data into an MS Access database

How I can import data into an MS Access database form a PDF form?
Any sample to get start I'll appreciate.
Thanks

To my opinion, there are 3 potential approaches :
1. rewrite the application, that data are stored directly in the oracle database
or the program writes flat files somewhere to the file system which are able getting
imported from the target instance on daily basis or job driven;
2. The "Access-driven approach" : link oracle tables into the MS-Access application
using an ODBC-connection and build a macro in Access which is exporting the stuff to
the target instance; in order to do so, the Oracle Client and ODBC-Drivers needs to
get installed on the PC where MS-Access is started to start the exportation process
(which is probably yours).
You may then create tables in the target instance and link them from within Access
using ODBC as the datasource
3. The "Oracle driven approach". explained in detail here, never tried it, but maybe
worth a look
http://www.orafaq.com/node/60
Basically, install the Oracle Software on a PC, configure an ODBC-Connection and start a
Listener there;
The target instance (which may no run on a UNIX system) is now able to commuincate
with the local running listener on your PC which itself is instantiating a connection to
the Access "Database" using the ODBC-Connection.
In this way, your PC acts as a database server from the Oracle Net point of view.
In theory, this could even work, depending on the ability to connect from the
instance server directly to the given IP of your PC (Security ?? Hmmmz)
