Connecting Access Databases remotely?

Currently:
Currently I have a Java application which performs all I wanted and the limitation in it is "It only resides on the Local machine for which it needs to work". I have the Microsoft Access Databases located on a Remote Server and I install the Java app on the remote server to connect the databases using a connectionString "jdbc:odbc:DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ=D:\DATA\DPPI\DATA\DPPI\DPPIPR01.mdb"; It connects to Access Databases and do all the bussiness logics with them.
Enhancements (to be done):
1. Making the application online - not a big issue.
2. Connecting the databases remotely - its the only concern.
So, if I make the Application Online the Access Databases need to be connecting through network (somewhat like ip or some web address).
Problem:
But after going through this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11388277/connect-to-access-database-remotely, it seems my requirement can not be completed.
Is there any way if I'm able to upload the database to the online web hosting server and access the database from there only? If yes, then how should I do the connectivity since Access Database connects by giving the fully qualified name containing drive letter and all. But how should I proceed further so that I may be able to connect the mdb Databases remotely?
ADO .Net Solution:
After going through the link:
http://webcheatsheet.com/ASP/access_connection_strings.php , it seems we can perform remote Access Database connectivity.
The solution for the ADO is something like:
connectionString="Provider=MS Remote; Remote Server=http://your_remote_server_ip;" &_ "Remote Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; Data Source=c:\your_database_name.mdb"
I'm a tad confused to how Access Database we can connect.
EDIT
There is one more question in my head.
I'm making use of Type-1 Driver. By making use of Type-4 Driver like HXTT Access(http://www.hxtt.com/access.html), a commercial type 4 driver for MS Access, supports it. But is there any open source Type-4 Driver like this?

Thanks for your responses guys. It seems I'm heading in a right direction (but can't completely say as I would also like to be concerned about the performance issues.)
For the time being I would like to consider this approach until it is fully confirmed.
Please let me know if I'm proceeding in a right way? (developed a webservice using Jax-ws testing application)
     1. I wrote a Jax-ws webservice published and tested on the localhost - its returning the response (tested using Soap-Ui).
          So, I would like to have the same application to be acting as a Server to be deployed on the Server housing the Microsoft Access Databases. It would connect the database and return the result to be consumed from Client.
     2. From the other end I opened the Soap-Ui such that I edited the Endpoint like: (this call would be actually made from the Online Application)
          Previous End point of the Wsdl- http://localhost:8080/myService/services/Invoker - tried and tested
          Edited End point of the Wsdl for testing - http://remoteIp:8080/myService/services/Invoker
          I got the Error stating:
                                        ERROR:org.apache.http.conn.HttpHostConnectException: Connection to http://192.168.1.6:8080 refused.
     Please let me know what I'm doing wrong or is there a special requirements for calling the services remotely?
EDIT
I took the IP address by executing ipconfig.

How to connect access database through oracle sql prompt

i want to connect access database via oracle , i am trying to import all the data in Access table into oracle table how it is possible .
A.R

The simplest way, if You have already created tables in Oracle DB, is to open the Access MDB, link Oracle tables via ODBC and build a query to append rows reading from Access tables to Oracle tables.
Hope this helps

Need help connect Access Database to Crystal Report Viewer in java

Need example for passing parameters to PropertyBag Class and IConnectionInfo Class.
We use CR_JRC_11.8
Thanks

A sample that demonstrates how to change the database that a report uses at runtime in the JRC can be found at the following link on the SAP Portal:
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/f0ad3d3d-be66-2b10-2181-f46c6e05a420
To help determine what connection properties need to be changed at runtime through code, create a copy of your original report and use the Crystal Reports designer to change this report to new datasource manually. You can then use the jrc_display_connection_info helper sample to examine what the parameters should be in the property bag before setting the IConnection information. The jrc_display_connection_info helper sample can be found at the following link on the SAP Portal:
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/706202a4-bd66-2b10-4e8b-92f4a8024ea1
Hope these samples help.

Connecting oracle database remotely

Hi,
my oracle database is installed on a virtual machine (guest machine)
now I want to connect it to my IBM Rational S/W Architect IDE thats installed on my host machine
I have only installed OC4J on my host machine but can't connect to the database
can anyone pls guide me with this configuration issue??

Thanks David,
the IDE has picked up the drivers and the argument string without any trouble.
but I'm afraid that the errors are not over yet!!
this time the IDE seems to be trying to establish the connection with the database on the virtual machine, but fails mid-way
Moreover, i got to know about some interesting thing about this virtual machine.(I'm using VMWare Server as a virtualisation tool and its a NAT driver which shares the IP address of my host machine)
when i check the IP addresses of my physical machine by ipconfig, i get :
Windows IP Configuration

i use to get connected with my physical machine)

when i check for the IP Addresses of the virtual machine(Win XP Pro) thats installed on VMWare Server, i get

now the error that's being flashed is:
connection to GPS_NODE failed. IWAS0126E Problems encountered while trying to establish connection conn1. Reason: IOException: The Network Adapter could not establish the connection
I suspect that there is some configuration issue with the network adapters but can't figure out How to rectify that :(

Connecting Access Databse to BI Publisher

Hi,
Please anyone tell me, how to connect MS Access database to BI Publisher.
There is no explicitly drivers defined in JDBC Connection, so what should I use in this case as DriverType & Connection String.
Hoping for quick reply.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Vestrini,
Thanks for your reply, but only connection string is not enough, what about Driver type, Database Driver Class, username and password.
Please, provide some detail step to connect access database to BI Publisher.
Thanks.

The error messages you posted seem unrelated to trying to log onto an Oracle database.
Starting with version number, operating system, tnsnames entry, etc. provide sufficient information about what you are doing for someone to understand the issue.

DW Procedures to connect to MS ACCESS database located on remote server

I am confused about the procedures within Dreamweaver CS3 to connect to a MS ACCESS database on a remoter server.
I am working through a tutorial book, "Dreamweaver 8 with ASP, Cold Fusion and PHP Training from the Source", but the instructions are unclear concerning the procedures to connect to a MS ACCESS database located on a remote server.
The book indicates that the server administration has to create the DSN for you and screen shots indicate that you will result in a list of DSNs to choose from when creating the connections .asp file.
I went through the procedures to create a connections .asp and resulting in a connection without and tables (of course) because I do not initially have any connection information from my remote site.
I have generated the required two lines of code as follows for my MS ACCESS database connection on my remote server:
'Database connection info and provider
strCon="Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source="&_
Server.MapPath("database\trans.mdb") & ";" &_
"User ID=xxx;Password=xxxxx"
The question that I have is:
How does this connection coding relate to the "connections/conn_newland.asp" file that was create within the Dreamweaver screens? How do I merge the ASP coding? The file (/connections/conn_newland.asp) generated within Dreamweaver is as follows:
<%
'FileName="Connection_odbc_conn_dsn.htm"
'Type="ADO"
'DesignationType="ADO"
'HTTP="true"
'Catelog=" "
'Schema
Dim MM_conn_newland_STRING
MM_conn_newland_STRINT = "dsn=newland;"
%>
Any advice would be appreciated. I know that this is simple but debugging an error from an ASP coding merge would be a "bear" to debug!

I have not used MS Access myself (fortunately) but I believe it works much like the old, old way of achieving a multi-user database in FileMaker.
That is, it is not a true client-server database but more a peer-to-peer database and that each peer opens the same database file which is available to multiple user via file sharing. Therefore as elikness said it should just be a matter of putting the files on your Lion Server and then sharing that folder/volume using SMB sharing.
However one thing to be aware of, since MS Access is not a true client-server database I would imagine it uses record locking to manage simultaneous direct access to records in the same files. File or Record locking is something that has historically been a bit flakey when using Windows clients with a Mac file server (and probably vice versa).
While I am not proposing it as a solution to consider seriously, it is worth you knowing that FileMaker Pro is a database system that is available for both Mac and Windows and depending on how you configure things can be considered to stretch from a configuration very similar to MS Access at the low end all the way to a high-end MS SQL Server style setup at the top end. See http://www.filemaker.com for details.
There is also a a third-party tool available for migrating databases to or from FileMaker Pro and it can convert MS Access databases to FileMaker Pro see http://www.fmpromigrator.com/
You could use FileMaker Pro just on Windows machines if you wish.

Connect to remote Access database

Hi there,
Can any one tell me how to connect to the remote MS Access? The scnario is:
Suppose there is a web server with IP 215.167.16.89. The JDBC driver (assumed to be JDataConnect) is installed on this machine. How to use this web server to connect to the Access database called db1.mdb with DSN 'db1' held in the maching with IP 165.247.17.43?
The Jave connection codes I am using are:
String url=new String ("jdbc:JDataConnect://165.247.17.43/db1:username:password");
try{
drvDriver=(Driver)Class.forName("JData2_0.sql.$Driver").newInstance();
conConnection = drvDriver.connect(url, new Properties());
showMessage("Connected to Company2 Database");
Why can I not connect to the db1 database?
If I use these codes to connect to the database in the same machine as the web server without specifying the IP address, it worked.
String url=new String ("jdbc:JDataConnect:db1:username:password");
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the help.
So you need to give a full path of it as if you are accesing
through windows explorer.I am not sure how to give a full path. Can you give me the detail please?
What happens when you have two or more .mdb with the
same name in different directories in that ip address.
Since its a file... you need to access it as a file.I think we can specify the different DSN for the two or more .mdb databases.
Thanks.

How can I access a database remote without using dblink, synonyms,aliases?

My store procedure access a remote tables using dblink, synonyms, alias, but by business company requirenments I nedd to use another data base access method. My PL/SQL statement looks like
select c.cus_id, c.cus_name, p.bankaccno
into v_cus_id, v_cus_name, v_bankaccno
from customer c, payment@finantial p
where c.cus_id = p.cus_id
Are any method else to connect to several remote databases concurrently?
If Yes, plase say me how is it, or tell me where do I obtain some examples, or any documentation.
Edited by: user518321 on Apr 21, 2009 1:58 PM
Ok, But I must not use any of these data base access method, metioned: dbliks, aliases, synonyms.
Edited by: user518321 on Apr 21, 2009 2:05 PM
Ok, It is enough for now, I am surprised for the response time and for their arguments, thanks a lot.

If you want to access a table in a remote database using SQL, you will need a database link. It would be exceptionally odd for the business to require that you access a remote database and to prohibit the use of database links. What is the business reason for that combination?
If you want to look into rather more esoteric solutions, you could load a JDBC driver for the remote database, write a Java stored procedure that queries the remote table using that JDBC driver, and then cobble together some PL/SQL that joins the two result sets. You won't be able to reference the remote table in SQL and the solution won't scale well as data volumes increase and you'll be writing a whole lot of code to manually join tables together, but it does avoid database links. Of course, whatever concerns lead to the ban on database links would probably apply to loading a JDBC driver into the database and writing Java stored procedures to access the remote database, but since you haven't explained the reasoning behind the restrictions, we're just guessing.

Dw cs5 with existing wordpress site hosted on yahoo need help connecting to existing remote database

I am having trouble establishing a database connection. I can connect with test databases but am having trouble using dreamweaver wtih my existing wordpress website. Am I able to use dreamweaver to edit and live view my changes before uploading the changed files to my live site? Am I able to access my existing wordpress database with dreaweaver? I have imported it to my testing server/database but still seem to be having trouble establishing a connection with it (think maybe my folder hierarchy might be off).
macintosh HD/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/nwm/wp/index.php
"nwm" is the name of the folder that I have copied all of my site files to and the folder I have dreamweaver pointing to. "wp" is what I have all of the wordpress files in (the ones I copied from my yahoo server - including all my current theme files etc.)
I am trying to put the info into the mysql connection dialog box:
Connection Name: Testing (i am assuming this name is for my benefit only and doesn't actually matter)
MySQL Server: mysql
User Name: *****
Password: *****
Database: wp
and am getting this message
MySQL Error#: 2013
Lost connection to MySQL server at 'reading initial communication packet', system error 61
did some google seaches of the error. Tried turning off the firewall, and the advance tab allow mysql incoming (there were 2 one was allow one was not allow. I changed both to allow)
Cant really find anything on yahoo to help me out. Looked in phpmyadmin database named wp: wp_users to get the username and password (which due to previous look for help - I think the password was encrypted cuz it looked like a bunch of mumbo jumbo and am fairly certain I know the correct password).
Any help would be greatly appreciated!! I spent $50 on live chat last night trying to resolve the issue only to find out at the end that the guy really didn't understand my problem and doesn't have dreamweaver. I have also watched countless videos on Lynda.com and have been thru forum after forum. While this problem is only a couple weeks old since I just got CS5. I have been having trouble making any headway learning php since I cant seem to make it past the set up parts. I have done the php / mysql essential training on lynda.com with relative success except that I really dont want to work with any more exercise files so I didn't go on to the beyond the basics. I recently went thru most of the Dreamweaver CS5 and Wordpress 3. Also did the first 4 chapters of Dreamweaver CS5 with PHP and MySQL. I need to start integrating things into my live sites. I am also trying to work my way thru the learning php, mysql, javascript book by o'reily media by robin nixon (as fun as reading a math text book) can't get thru it since I can't relate any of it to my current sites/needs
I am on MacBookPro OSX 10.6.6
Installed MAMP to specification on all 20 tutorials I have tried including lynda.com
Tested the testing server and is working
Just installed dreamweaver cs5
have been using wordpress online to create and edit posts (recently upgraded to 3.? whatever the latest update was online which I believe update the files on my yahoo server?)
Have also installed wordpress on my computer (several times thru each tutorial trying to get this right.)
Am I expecting the impossible?

If wordpress controls it's own connection why am I unable to use the live view. I have synced the remote site to my local computer so all the files should be just as they are online with the exception of the DB which contains most of the content.
I have done all of those steps. I have even exported the database from inside internet phpmyadmin and imported into computer phpmyadmin. When I hit live view I get one of couple of errors.
1. "One is that the dynamic related files could not be displayed due to an internal server error"
At some point I was able to view some sample files inside dreamweaver. But I would like to be able to view my real site files. I was able to "connect" to the local databases (not the copy of my real one - I think that maybe that was because it is somehow nested inside another db an am going try to reimport to new location). And then I changed the host/username/password trying to deal with the internal server error. Now instead I get the cannot connect to the database Error 2016 or whatever from the origianl post. Also, I am using yahoo if that matters and all I can find about what their server name is: mysql - is that correct?
I have been thru this so many times with so many different tutorials I am losing track of what is what.
2. Can I access my remote database within dreamweaver? I do not want to create dummy files (seems to be a waste of time). And while if it had worked exporting/importing a duplicate on to my computer would have satisfied me for a little while it also seems some what counter productive. Since every post and page is different if I were doing a daily updates etc how would I be able to change the formating or design of them if I can't access the remote files. Would I re- import everytime I want to work on it to get current database?
I am trying to be clear. I listed all the specs I could think as listed in your "how to get help fast post" (yes I read that at least twice too) of all of the steps and possible reasons for my problems. I also thought that the forum was on a seperate site so I didn't think it would count as a duplicate. I am frustrated to tears and am feeling incredibly stupid that after all this time and all these tutorials yes you are right I obviously am not understanding what is going on which is why I am on this forum.

Access MS Access database on remote computer (shared folder)

Hello,
I need some help.
I've made a program and it works fine on my computer, but multiple users will be using program simultaneously, each one on his own computer conected over local network to mine computer (database is on my computer in shared folder).
When I try to access data on database (path is path of shared folder) i'm getting error 5013 (no database). The problem occurs only when I'm trying to read something from MS access database but not if I try to read data from .txt file, then it works fine...
I'm using ADO Tools
Can someone help me, I would be very greatful?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thanks to you Dennis I've managed to figure it out.
I'll explain this for future generations
1) I've created DSN. To do that open ODBC Data Source Administrator:
- for 64 bit app C:\Windows\System32\odbcad32.exe
- for 32 bit app C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe
In System DSN tab click Add.. then choose Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb) (If you do not have this on list download that drivers from web) --> FINISH.
Enter Data Source Name (mine is Test2) --> Select... --> now because the MS Access database is on shared folder on remote PC go to Network... --> Browse... and select that shared folder --> Finish. Now you'll see all .mdb files on that folder and you choose your database --> OK --> OK --> OK
2) Now in block diagram you connect string "DSN=your_dsn_name;" (mine was Test2) to ConnectionString connector of ADO Connection Open.vi
It worked for me.

How to connect to a remote database in a lan??

Hey guys......! I need to connect to a remote msaccess database in a lan and import its data into my mysql database.I know how to connect to a msaccess database using ODBC.But I don't know how to connect to a remote database without creating dsn in the machine where database is.One thing more...I want to know, how can I import data into my mysql database?? Is there any query for that or simply I have to select data from msaccess database and insert into tables of my database??Please, send me the source code in the forum itself and explain also.This is the last feature of my project.So I need to do it as soon as possible.

If the mdb file in LAN, Just map the network drive.[Windows Explorer/Tools/Map Network Drive] in your system from which we need to access the remote mdb. Then go to ODBC Data Source Admin.. and create a new data source[Microsoft Access Driver] . After clicking the Select button, you will find a Network Drive will be visible on your Drives drop down. Select the map Drive, If not visible then just click the Network button there and map the network path where the mdb files reside. And use the JdbdOdbcDriver class to connect from java.

Datasource: ORA-02019: connection description for remote database not found

Hi,
I recently made the datasource to point to a new host, and using the EM console tested the connectivity to the datasource to be successful.
Java code that refers to the DS is also the same as before that was working as only the connection string has been changed, but now trying to access the web-application shows the following error in the logs:
==============
Exception::java.sql.SQLException: ORA-02019: connection description for remote database not found

oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleStatement.executeQuery(OracleStatement.java:1274)
oracle_jdbc_driver_T4CStatement_Proxy.executeQuery()=====================================
What could be the reason? Is there any other app server datasource related setting that needs to be done or is it some other issue - as I said 'testing the connection from EM console connects successfully'.
Thanks,
Rommel.

The issue is resolved now.
One of the queries used a db link that was missing on the new database and therefore the error from the java code.
Since testing for connectivity using DS through EM console does not check for any db link (using the default query it executes) connectivity was successful.
Thank a lot,
Rommel.
