Connect database using ext javascript or applescipt in indesign

Hi,
I need to connect oracle database using extended javascript or apple script in indesign. Can somebody help by giving any suggestion. Or is there any possibility to connect database using the two scripting methods.
It is really urgent.
Thanks
Karthik B

ExtendScript has a Socket object prototype you can use to e.g. connect to the internet. Calling a web service would probably be more elegant than addressing the database directly. Socket is fairly low-level, though. If you need something easier, you could always try out http://extendables.org/docs/packages/http/doc/readme.html
I seem to recall some InDesign plug-ins you could buy that allow you to connect to a database directly, but you'd have to google that yourself.

Is it possible to connect database using session bean

Dear all,
Is it possible to connect database using session bean without using entity beans like cmp,bmp.
if ur answer is yes, then pls tell me where to put the select statement and transaction attribute like(6 types).
if u have sample code, then it is good for me.
Hope I will get answer.

Sure it is.
Try something like this (and maybe get a book on JDBC):
String name;
try {
     InitialContext ic = new InitialContext();
     DataSource ds = (DataSource) ic.lookup(Constants.MY_DATASOURCE);
     Connection connection = ds.getConnection();
     String sql = "SELECT * FROM TABLE";
     PreparedStatement statement = connection.prepareStatement(sql);
     ResultSet rs = statement.executeQuery();
     while (rs.next()) {
          name = rs.getString("NAME");
     if (rs != null)
          rs.close();
     if (statement != null)
          statement.close();
     if (connection != null)
          connection.close();
catch (NamingException e) {
     // Can't get JDBC datasource
     // ... do something with this exception
catch (SQLException e) {
     // SQL exception from getter
     // .... do seomthing with this one too
}

How to Connect Database Using Script?

Hi all,
Am using Adobe InDesign CS3. Is there any way to connect database from Adobe InDesign CS3 Scripting (Javascript)? Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Mohan

I don't know javascript so I can't help with that part.
The system plug in you need is from Actual Technologies : http://www.actualtechnologies.com/ The setup for that is detailed in their instructions. You will probably want to set it up for system-wide access, not by user. I found system-wide access more reliable, fwiw.
For Applescript I send a command through the Terminal/command line that returns the data from the query.
Here is Applescript:
set query to "YOUR DB QUERY"
set results to (do shell script "echo \"" & query & "\" | iodbctest \"dsn=" & dsn & ";uid=" & uid & ";pwd=" & pwd & "\" | awk '{ if (match($0,\"SQL>\")) {k++; if (k==1) next; if (k==2) exit; } if (k==1) print; }'")
You can probably do something similar in Javascript. You'll have to parse out the text data returned then. I think there may be plug-ins for InDesign that can directly connect to a database (?). Or some plug-ins like inData can take their data passed from a script as well.

Connecting database from extended javascript

Is there a possibility of connecting database directly from scripting (i.e using a jsx file alone.)?
do indesign provide some api to connect to the database?
or the only way XML to get thorugh?

i want access to database in page html with use AppletFirst of all, that doesn't make any sence, if it's a single user application make it a java
application.
If it's a multu user application make it a client server where the web server connects to
the database when the client requests a connection.
When the applet connects to the database any client running the applet needs a
connection to your database server, the client needs the jdbc drivers and the client's
jre needs to find them (set classpath with runtime parameters or set the classes in
javadir lib). After that the client needs to change thiere java.policy or you need to sign
the applet.
Needless to say that's a lot of trouble. And if you go through all that trouble the client
can de-compile your applet and see the connection to the database server and the
server name. Now the client can destroy your database or worse see date it is not
supposed to see.
Since you are a brainless ... who needed to post this question 6 times did not respond to any of my post in your other threads I can just say good luck with your problem.

How to connect database using JDBc?

Hi All,
I developed one Microsoft Access Database named "Test.mdb" in my "C" drive,
i used
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
String url = "jdbc:odbc:C:\Test";
Connection con=DriverManager.getConnection(url);
While executing the above code, I m getting the following error
Error occurs java.sql.SQLException : No suitable driver
please help me what is the problem..i did code in proper try catch block ... so dont worry but let me know what is exactly reson behibd getting this querry....
my email id is : [email protected]
waiting for ur reply.. its urgent

While executing the above code, I m getting the following error
Error occurs java.sql.SQLException : No suitable driverDon't post your e-mail.
This error always means that the URL you gave to connect to the database is incorrect. Yours is indeed wrong:
String url = "jdbc:odbc:C:\Test";You can correct it in either one of two ways:
(1) Create a DNS in Windows that points to your database (call it "Test") and change the URL so it says
String url = "jdbc:odbc:Test";(2) You can skip creating a DNS and use a connection String that looks like this:
"jdbc:odbc:DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=<database-path>";In your case, <database-path> is "C:\\Test"

One reply - not possible.
DSN/DSNless refers to a specific driver. And that driver is not a type 4 driver. So it is not possible.

Connecting to Remote Database using Debian w/Oracle XE

Hello.
I have managed to install Oracle XE on a Debian box.
I am trying to connect to a remote server located on my network.
I am using the following connection string:
# sqlplus <User>/<Password>@'(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=<IP>)(PORT=1521)))(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=<SID>)))'
However, I was given both a SID and a Service_name.
I tried connecting with both.
Is it possible to parametrize both? I checked and the remote server is up, and that is the existing port.
Thanks a lot!

SQL*Plus: Release 11.2.0.1.0 Production
Copyright (c) 1982, 2009, Oracle. All rights reserved.
Use SQL*Plus to execute SQL, PL/SQL and SQL*Plus statements.
Usage 1: sqlplus -H | -V
    -H             Displays the SQL*Plus version and the
             usage help.
    -V             Displays the SQL*Plus version.
Usage 2: sqlplus [ [<option>] [{logon | /nolog}] [<start>] ]
<option> is: [-C <version>] [-L] [-M "<options>"] [-R <level>] [-S]
    -C <version>   Sets the compatibility of affected commands to the
             version specified by <version>. The version has
             the form "x.y[.z]".     For example, -C 10.2.0
    -L             Attempts to log on just once, instead of
             reprompting on error.
    -M "<options>" Sets automatic HTML markup of output. The options
             have the form:
             HTML [ON|OFF] [HEAD text] [BODY text] [TABLE text]
             [ENTMAP {ON|OFF}] [SPOOL {ON|OFF}] [PRE[FORMAT] {ON|OFF}]
    -R <level>        Sets restricted mode to disable SQL*Plus commands
             that interact with the file system.     The level can
             be 1, 2 or 3. The most restrictive is -R 3 which
             disables all user commands interacting with the
             file system.
    -S             Sets silent mode which suppresses the display of
             the SQL*Plus banner, prompts, and echoing of
             commands.
<logon> is: {<username>[/<password>][@<connect_identifier>] | / }
           [AS {SYSDBA | SYSOPER | SYSASM}] [EDITION=value]
    Specifies the database account username, password and connect
    identifier for the database connection. Without a connect
    identifier, SQL*Plus connects to the default database.
    The AS SYSDBA, AS SYSOPER and AS SYSASM options are database
    administration privileges.
    <connect_identifier> can be in the form of Net Service Name
    or Easy Connect.
      @[<net_service_name> | [//]Host[:Port]/<service_name>]
     <net_service_name> is a simple name for a service that resolves
     to a connect descriptor.
     Example: Connect to database using Net Service Name and the
           database net service name is ORCL.
        sqlplus myusername/mypassword@ORCL
     Host specifies the host name or IP address of the database
     server computer.
     Port specifies the listening port on the database server.
     <service_name> specifies the service name of the database you
     want to access.
     Example: Connect to database using Easy Connect and the
           Service name is ORCL.
        sqlplus myusername/mypassword@Host/ORCL
    The /NOLOG option starts SQL*Plus without connecting to a
    database.
    The EDITION specifies the value for Session Edition.
<start> is: @<URL>|<filename>[.<ext>] [<parameter> ...]
    Runs the specified SQL*Plus script from a web server (URL) or the
    local file system (filename.ext) with specified parameters that
    will be assigned to substitution variables in the script.
When SQL*Plus starts, and after CONNECT commands, the site profile
(e.g. $ORACLE_HOME/sqlplus/admin/glogin.sql) and the user profile
(e.g. login.sql in the working directory) are run. The files may
contain SQL*Plus commands.
Refer to the SQL*Plus User's Guide and Reference for more information.

Unable to connect to Oracle Database using Oracle Sql developer 2.1.1.64

Hi Everyone,
I am searching for some help regarding my problem with Oracle connectivity. I have installed Oracle 11g release 2 on my Windows XP Professional Laptop. For a few days after installation i could connect to the Oracle database with the SYSTEM account using Oracle SQL developer ( installed on the same Laptop) but now i am unable to do so.It gives me this annoying message:
