Create jdbc odbc database

hi, i want to make a program that uses database, the problem is that i cant find a moveable database that i can transfer with my program. for example i have a jar file that use microsoft access as a database, but when i want to copy those two files to another computer i have to redefine the setting that allows access to be used as a odbc database. if some know a database the can be move from one computer to another without any changes needed please help me.

i used access because it is a database that comes with one file, i can copy my jar file and the access file and thats it, with other database i dont even know where the database is? Yes you do - it's in the JAR or WAR or EAR file that you deploy.
i dont want to install mysql in a client computer, i want it to be a small software, my database dont need to include a large amount of information.In-memory for an individual would be sufficient, right? You don't envision more than one user for the database, correct? Or is the database deployed as a server?
any ideas?Yes, Derby or Hypersonic.

    DrClap, are you able to give me a solution as to how can i commit the update or close the connection ? however i notice something you might have "mistakened"
    its not that i can't create a new record into my database... when i only put a single executeUpdate(), the new record is not created, but when i put 2 lines of executeUpdate() then the new record is reflected in the database...
    hope you may give me some code samples to clarify my doubts to this issue.
    thanks in advance

  • Remote Database connection throught JDBC-ODBC

    Hi everybody
    I've developed an application which connects to a MS Access database throught the JDBC-ODBC bridge; if the database is on my local machine I've no problem at all, but I now need to connect to a database on a remote PC. I've set the DSN entry for the database on the remote computer and try to connect using something like:
    String db_name="jdbc:odbc:remote_pc_name\\\\DSN_db_name";
    Properties db_prop=new Properties();
    db_prop.setProperty("user","username");
    db_prop.setProperty("password","user_password");
    Connection dbconn=DriverManager.getConnection(db_name,db_prop);
    but the ODBC driver gives me the message
    "[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] DSN not found and driver not specified.
    I've tried other possible "connection strings" but I always get the same message.
    The software works properly if I connect to the local DB with:
    String db_name="jdbc:odbc:DSN_db_name";
    Any idea how to connect to a remote DB through ODBC?
    Thanks

    No need for a separate thread really is there? its still relevant to the original.

  • JDBC-ODBC bridge for MSSQL database

    Hi,
    I have SAP 2 MSSQL synchronous scenario and I need to select data from MS SQL 2005 database located on the remote system via XI 3.0. The database provides only ODBC access. I am using JDBC receiver and I would like to use sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver as a driver. I searched this forum, but the most of threads describe, how to connect to MS Access database, which is not my case. I used XI JDBC/FTP connection Test and XML Validation Application described in SAP Note 1085539 to test it. I used the following settings:
    Driver Class (fully qualified)   sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver
    JDBC URL                          jdbc:odbc:Driver://<host IP>;databaseName=<name>
    User Name                         my username
    Password                           my password
    I got the following error:
    Exception Occurred : [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified
    Exception Stack Trace : java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified
         at sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbc.createSQLException(JdbcOdbc.java:6958)
         at sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbc.standardError(JdbcOdbc.java:7115)
    My questions are: Is it possible to use sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver in this scenario? If so, what should I put as JDBC URL? Do I need to create DSN on the XI system? (it is a Windows NT based machine).
    Thanks a lot for your answers.

    Have you already deployed the drivers (msbase.jar, mssqlserver.jar, msutil.jar) ??
    If so,
    The JDBC drivers should be:
    com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver
    And the connection should be:
    jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://hostname:1433;DatabaseName=name
    else

    User/password are usually necessary to set up the ODBC source. So you may need find out who set up your ODBC source. Or you need find the correct user/password and reset the ODBC source.

  • JDBC-ODBC-Bridge connection to SQL Database

    Hi guys
    I have a problem. I've made a little game which I want to put on my website. It has a highscore-list which I want to connect to my web host's database server to get the current list.
    I tried this with JDBC and got it to work locally but when I uploaded it to my site it didn't work. I contacted my web host's technical support who told me that their server didn't have the JDBC driver and that I should use ODBC instead. I did lots of reading and found out about this JDBC-ODBC-Bridge. I have since been trying to implement this into my program but hasn't been successful.
    In my original JDBC connection I used
    private String url = "jdbc:mysql://" + host +  "/" + mydatabase;
    Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
    Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection(url, username, password);Now I'm trying
    private String url = "jdbc:odbc://" + host + "/" + database;
    Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
    Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection(url, username, password);But, at least when trying it locally, I get the error
    java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name is too long.

    Hello Ramanan,
    Report Builder : connect JDBC Query in Report Builder is to through Connection Dialog in JDBC Query Editor. User can use a Sign on parameter (can use, default : P_JDBCPDS or can create new) to connect to JDBC Data Source. Connection once made will be mentioned and will be reused through out Reports Builder.
    JDBC PDS allows user to connect one or more same or different kind of databases.
    While running report through runtime or Server, user can pass the sign on parameter(connection string) value, like any other user parameter.
    Syntax for connection string : <username>/<password>@databaseURL . The syntax of database part of connection string depend on the type of JDBC Driver used to connect to Data Source while designing the JDBC Query. databaseURL refer to the location of the database and its format depend on the JDBCPDS river selected in design time while creating the JDBC Query.
    rwrun eg :
    rwrun report=jdbc_odbc.rdf destype=file desname=output.html desformat=html P_JDBCPDS=scott/tiger@database

  • Problem: connect DB with Applet by JDBC-ODBC bridge

    Dear all,
    When I connect local MS SQL server by "sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver" as below, it works well! However, when I put the similar code under Java Applet program, it cannot run by showing error:
    java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.lang.RuntimePermission accessClassInPackage.sun.jdbc.odbc)
    at java.security.AccessControlContext.checkPermission(AccessControlContext.java:272)

    at java.lang.SecurityManager.checkPackageAccess(SecurityManager.java:1501)
    at sun.applet.AppletSecurity.checkPackageAccess(AppletSecurity.java:169)
    I think Java Applet has some security policy when I try to use applet to connect(read/write) DB. How can I solve it so that I can browse my applet under IE.
    Thanks a lot!
    Here is my worked code in Java program but not in Applet:
    import java.sql.*;
    public class TestJDBC1 {
    public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
    String userid = "";
    String password = "";
    // Register the driver with DriverManager
    new sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver();
    // Get a connection
    Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:rdr",
    userid, password);
    // Create a statement for executing SQL
    Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
    // Execute a query / SELECT statement
    ResultSet rset = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM PlatformNode");
    ResultSetMetaData rsmd = rset.getMetaData();

    Hi,
    Applets by default are restricted from accessing a lot of things.to enable applest from accessing database and other thngs u need to edit the policy file
    Try this.
    go to the jre/bin directory open the policytool.exe file
    and add permission(in ur case RuntimePermission to access class in package sun.jdbc.odbc) and save the file.
    this will enable applets from accessing the databse.
    Hope that helps
    Note:
    policytool.exe must be used to open the java.policy file present in /jre/lib/security directory and then add the permissions
    regards,

    Im really stuck!!! any suggestions? thanks in advance

    Thank you for your response and sorry for the length
    of code,
    Thats was my first idea that it was asking for
    or something I dont have but I checked my database and
    I dont have any unusually large data entries (most
    between 8-15 letters, the others are numbers) could it
    be something wrong with how I've entered the database
    in MsAccess, or am i barking up the wrong tree again!
    Many thanks
    RobI think you've misunderstood me. This has nothing to do with unusually large data entries, but rather the opposite. You are wrongly expecting data that is shorter than you think. When you call rs.getString(i) to retrieve a column value of a field, and you only want the first 5 characters in the column (instead of 10 or whatever the column size is), you would do something similar to the following:
    String column_value = rs.getString(1).subtstring(0,5);The above expects a String that is at least 5 characters. Your problem is when your column value returned is less than the specified substring index ( in this case 5 ) it will throw an exception. If you changed your code to this, the error will not occur:
    String column_value = rs.getString( 1 ).subtstring( 0, 5);
    if ( column_value.length() > 5 )
    column_value = column_value.substring( 0, 5 );

  • Tomcat JDBC Realm Database Connection Error

    Hello all,
    I am trying to edit the server.xml file on Tomcat so I can use the JDBC Realm instead of the MemoryRealm. Hence, I will be able to read users, passwords and roles from a relational database instead of from the tomcat-users.xml.
    I have tried following all the guides on the net I can find, my server.xml looks as follows (after making changes to allow it to use JDBC realm). The only problem is, when I try to run the application the server outputs the following: (after all of these errors have been kicked up a pop-up box then appears titled "Tomcat Manager Application", it asks for a User Name and Password. I have tried the standard user name of "ide" and the password next to it in tomcat-users.xml but it won't accept it. (I am using the netbeans IDE)).
    Please could someone suggest any ideas of how I can get the server.xml to work with JDBC realm?

                    mcastTTL = the multicast TTL if you want to limit your broadcast
                    mcastSoTimeout = the multicast readtimeout
                    mcastFrequency = the number of milliseconds in between sending a "I'm alive" heartbeat
                    mcastDropTime = the number a milliseconds before a node is considered "dead" if no heartbeat is received
                    tcpThreadCount = the number of threads to handle incoming replication requests, optimal would be the same amount of threads as nodes
                    tcpListenAddress = the listen address (bind address) for TCP cluster request on this host,
                    in case of multiple ethernet cards.
                    auto means that address becomes
                    InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostAddress()
                    tcpListenPort = the tcp listen port
                    tcpSelectorTimeout = the timeout (ms) for the Selector.select() method in case the OS
                    has a wakup bug in java.nio. Set to 0 for no timeout
                    printToScreen = true means that managers will also print to std.out
                    expireSessionsOnShutdown = true means that
                    useDirtyFlag = true means that we only replicate a session after setAttribute,removeAttribute has been called.
                    false means to replicate the session after each request.
                    false means that replication would work for the following piece of code: (only for SimpleTcpReplicationManager)

                    * Pooled means that the replication happens using several sockets in a synchronous way. Ie, the data gets replicated, then the request return. This is the same as the 'synchronous' setting except it uses a pool of sockets, hence it is multithreaded. This is the fastest and safest configuration. To use this, also increase the nr of tcp threads that you have dealing with replication.
                    * Synchronous means that the thread that executes the request, is also the
                    thread the replicates the data to the other nodes, and will not return until all
                    nodes have received the information.
                    * Asynchronous means that there is a specific 'sender' thread for each cluster node,
                    so the request thread will queue the replication request into a "smart" queue,
                    and then return to the client.
                    The "smart" queue is a queue where when a session is added to the queue, and the same session
                    already exists in the queue from a previous request, that session will be replaced
                    in the queue instead of replicating two requests. This almost never happens, unless there is a
                    large network delay.

                    When configuring for clustering, you also add in a valve to catch all the requests

                    1. useDirtyFlag is true or setAttribute or removeAttribute has been called AND
                    2. a session exists (has been created)
                    3. the request is not trapped by the "filter" attribute
                    The filter attribute is to filter out requests that could not modify the session,
                    hence we don't replicate the session after the end of this request.
                    The filter is negative, ie, anything you put in the filter, you mean to filter out,
                    ie, no replication will be done on requests that match one of the filters.
                    The filter attribute is delimited by ;, so you can't escape out ; even if you wanted to.
                    filter=".*\.gif;.*\.js;" means that we will not replicate the session after requests with the URI

How do you specify the psdriver and URL along with do I need to do this as a persistent instance then add my selectstatement as a part of this or can I just specify this and the select statement will use this connection? Any help you can give would be appreciated.

  • J2EE and JDBC-ODBC bridge driver

    Hi all,
    in my application I want to access an ODBC database to get the data and put it into cloudscape. In my resources.properties I added the jdbc driver
    jdbcDriver.1.name=sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriverand also added a datasource
    jdbcDataSource.5.name=jdbc/MyOdbc
    jdbcDataSource.5.url=jdbc\:odbc\:odbc-nameAfter starting j2ee 1.3.1 the server reports following error:
    Error in creating data source object: jdbc/MyOdbcWhat's going wrong? Thanks for your help.
    -chris

    additional information:
    The phenomenon happens only if I use J2SDK 1.4.0. Running the 1.3.1 the driver is loaded without any problems.
    Is it a security issue or am I not allowed to use 1.4 because it's too new?

  • Silly jdbc.odbc question

    Hi,
    I am trying to connect to a database with jdbc.odbc.
    What do I put in my classpath? Do I have to download the jdbc.odbc driver?
    I'm missing something stupid I know!
    Thanks,
    VB

    VB -
    you dont need to download the jdbc-odbc driver, as it comes packaged with the sdk. i think its in $JAVA_HOME/jre/rt.jar and is automatically in your classpath. You should be able to do a:
    Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
    to load the driver into memory. you can then use the java.sql.DriverManager to obtain your connection:
    DriverManager.getConnection( dbConnString, dbUser, dbPass);
    where your connect string looks something like:
    "jdbc:odbc:<dsn>" (i.e. "jdbc:odbc:fooDB").
    you'll need to create a system dsn on your windows machine, or follow whatever odbc configuration instructions if on a different os platform.
    i hope this helps.. been a long time since ive used the odbc bridge. you should probably try and use a vendor supplied driver pure java driver. this gets rid of the need for client specific configuration steps.

  • How to append records in MSAccess through Java using JDBC:ODBC

    Hello,
    I was able to retrieve records from MSAccess database through JAVA over the JDBC-ODBC bridge.
    If I want to append records to a table (for eg. photo1 table containing photono., length, breadth, area as
    columns) I could not able to do so through JAVA.
    I am using JTable with the above fields. The user is displayed with the JTable and he has to enter
    data inside the JTable and press a button titled "Append". Then the JAVA program should append
    whatever the user has entered in the JTable as a single record inside the MSAccess database.
    Can anyone help me please?

    hi i too am having similar problem. i am able to create a table in ms access through java but when i insert values i get a msg that it has inserted the values but when i check the table by opening ms-access there are no values in the table.
    the insert statement i am using is
    " insert into tk1 values(3,'tarun')"
    further i tried using the methods commit, setAutoCommit etc with the connection object. -NO GO.
    can you help me ?

    Connection surgConn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:FoxDB", " ", " ");
    But when I use the same thing in my weblogic 8.1 application, I cannot access the database. I didn't config any data source in weblogic 8.1
    Why?
    When I try this on my own computer - windows 2000, weblogic 8.1 workshop. remote foxpro database dbf folder. it works.
    Any idea?
    Thanks very much

    should work OK (though I have a better way)... Be warned that the JDBC ODBC
    bridge is specifically dangerous. It is not threadsafe.
