Create toplink ofline db objects fails over jdbc-odbc bridge to MSAccess db

Hi, using JDev 10.1.3.0.4 in an EJB , Toplink, JSF application I cannot create Toplink Objects from tables , I get every time a null pointer exception in the last step when I click on the Finalize button.
I have seen other threads the recomend to rebuild the Data Model Project using the Run Menu, that didnt work, Checking unchecking Tools/Preference/Show Compile Progress , didnt help neither.
If the problem is that toplink is incompatible with the jdb-odbc bridge, then where I can get/download a jdbc ms access cappable driver that toplink will work with?
Thanks,
Omar

Look under http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/htdocs/10.1.3.1/install.html#supported_db to check whether your database is supported (see Offline Database Support column in the table).
Also you can do the following to check whether importing offline tables is causing an issue. See " Importing Tables from a Database Connection" under http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe1013jdev/dbdevelopment/obe_%20dbasedevmt.htm
Hope this helps.

Oracle RDB Driver fails with JDBC/ODBC Bridge

Has anyone experienced problems using the latest Oracle RDB
Driver (3.0.2.0) with the JDBC/ODBC Bridge.
We have been using the Oracle ODBC Driver for RDB (2.10.17)
successfully on NT, but it is not supported on W2K. The new
drivers work fine for Access etc., but fail with the bridge.
Specifically, you can step thru a result set, but getObject()
returns null for all fields.
Any suggestions?

Hello Every Body!
I succeeded in getting connect to the ms access database in adf application in jdeveloper as below:
First in control panel to to admin tools and go to data source(odbc) and create system dsn as bellow pic
Then go to jdeveloper resources ide conn and then database and new database conn and then select jdbc-odbc briddge and then give custom jdbc url as bellow pic

JDBC-ODBC Bridge to SPSS data files - Result Set Type is not supported

Hello,
As mentioned in the subject I am trying to read SPSS data files using the SPSS 32-Bit data driver, ODBC and the JDBC-ODBC Bridge.
Using this SPSS Driver I manged to read the data directly into an MS-SQL Server using:
SELECT [...] FROM
OPENROWSET(''MSDASQL.1'',''DRIVER={SPSS 32-BIT Data Driver (*.sav)};DBQ=' SomePathWhereTheFilesAre';SERVER=NotTheServer'', ''SELECT 'SomeSPSSColumn' FROM "'SomeSPSSFileNameWithoutExt'"'') AS a
This works fine!
Using Access and an ODBC System DNS works for IMPORTING but NOT for LINKING.
It is even possible to read the data using the very slow SPSS API.
However, when it comes to JDBC-ODBC the below code does only work in part. The driver is loaded successfully, but when it comes to transferring data into the resultset object the error
SQLState: null
Result Set Type is not supported
Vendor: 0
occurs.
The official answer from SPSS is to use .Net or to use their implementation with Python in their new version 14.0. But this is obviously not an option when you want to use only Java.
Does anybody have experience with SPSS and JDBC-ODBC??? I have tried the possible ResultSet Types, which I took from:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/db2luw/v8/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.db2.udb.doc/ad/rjvdsprp.htm
and none of them worked.
Thank you in advance for your ideas and input & stay happy!

Thank you for your reply StuDerby!
Actually the above script was before, as you suggested, leaving the ResultSetTeype default. This did not work...
I am getting gray hair with SPSS - in terms of connectivity and "integratebility" none of their solutions offered is sufficient from my point of view.
Variable definitions can only be read by the slow API, data can only be read by Python or Microsoft Products... and if you want to combine both you are in big trouble. I can only assume that this is a company strategy to sell their Dimensions Platform to companies versus having companies developping their applications according to business needs.
Thanks again for any furthur suggestions and I hope, that some SPSS Developper will see this post!

SQL Developer 2.1.1 : JDBC/ODBC Bridge

Hi, I am running SQL Developer 2.1.1 and would like to to access databases other than those formally supported.
I am happy to use the JDBC/ODBC Bridge - although additional JDBC connectivity would be ideal, I gather that it is not supported.
Googling, and searching on this forum, implies that I should install the appropriate JDBC driver for the Bridge, list it on the third party JDBC drivers Preferences page, and that a 'Create Connection' dialog JDBC tab would then appear on restarting SQL Developer, as happens when you install the supported MySQL JDBC driver, for example.
I am sorry to be dim, but I cannot track down a jar file containing the JDBC/ODBC Bridge that is supported by SQL Developer to the extent of enabling the JDBC tab. The rt.jar shipped in SQL Developer's JRE does not do the job. Checking for updates from the Help menu lists nothing that looks even remotely relevant. Where should I be looking?
Thanks a lot
Mandy Shaw

The additional connection types only appear for supported databases.
I haven't tried this, but I vaguely remember some discussions from a long time ago.
Make sure the jar file (and any supporting DLLs) are on your classpath (probably dropping them in the extensions directory will do it) and then in the new connection dialog select 'Advanced' connection type. This lets you enter a JDBC URL in any format so you can enter what is required for your additional databases.
If this works, the most it will get you is a SQL Worksheet with no completion insight or syntax checking. Because SQL Developer doesn't know how to use the database catalogue, the object navigator won't work.

JDBC-ODBC Bridge seems to slow down after a while

Hi,
I've got a weird problem going on with an application I'm writing. I hope someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong.
The problem I'm encountering is in he code shown below. The function getAllGamesForATeam is creating a list of items in an ArrayList and passing it back to an Event handler so that I can put it in the session of a servlet. The first time I run this code, it is fast. Fast enough to use on a servlet. The second time it runs, it is MUCH slower...too slow to use on a servlet. The third time it runs, it gets even worse.
I am using the JDBC-ODBC bridge to access my database which is in Access 97. I do have connection pooling enabled on the database. Still it is slow.
If you have any ideas, I would appreciate it. Here's the code:

Where do you close the ResultSet?
Where do you close the Statement?
Presumably you only create one connection for all users or you close it somewhere.

To run a report from command line, when using jdbc-odbc bridge

Hi,
How to run a report from command line, when using jdbc-odbc bridge?
Usually with tns, we do by "rwrun module=<> userid=<user>/<passwd>@tns".
with odbc, we do by "rwrun module=<> userid=<user>/<passwd>@odbc:DSN"
Please specify, what is command line arguments for jdbc-odbc bridge driver?
Environment : Oracle 9i Report Builder on WinNT
Database : Sybase
Regards,
Ramanan

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
Server eg :
http://server.com:8888/servlet/RWServlet?server=MyReportServer+report=jdbc_odbc.rdf+destype=cache+desformat=html+P_JDBCPDS=scott/tiger@database

About JDBC ODBC bridge

I'm developing an application using EJBs in a development environment with Sun Application Server, Sql Server and NetBeans IDE 4.1. I'm using entity beans and session beans in my application. But, when I try to connect to database using a Servlet or JSP with the session beans, the connection with database could not be established. This is my problem!!!

First, you probably shouldn't use the JDBC/ODBC bridge. Any serious and many non-serious databases have real drivers. Is there anything but Access that really needs the bridge...? Use the jTds driver (google for it). Or just last week Microsoft beta'ed a new JDBC driver for MSSQL; no idea how good it is. Some smalltalk on that: http://www.theserverside.com/news/thread.tss?thread_id=35063
Second, what error do you get?
If it is "connection refused", here is my standard first aid check list:
- Check host name in connect string.
- Check port number in connect string.
- Try numeric IP address of server host in connect string, in case name server is hosed.
- Are there any firewalls between client and server blocking the port.
- Check that the db server is running.
- Check that the db server is listening to the port. On the server, try: "telnet localhost the-port-number". Or "netstat -an", there should be a listening entry for the port.
- Try "telnet serverhost the-port-number" from the client, to see if firewalls are blocking it.
- If "telnet" fails: try it with the numeric ip address.
- If "telnet" fails: does it fail immediately or after an obvious timeout? How long is the timeout?
- Does the server respond to "ping serverhost" or "telnet serverhost" or "ssh serverhost"?

Weblogic server using jdbc-odbc bridge

I want to connect to database through jdbc-odbc bridge.I am using web logic server. When i creating new jdbc connection pool a error comes that driver class is not on classpath. how i rectify this problem? how I make weblogic to recognize sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver?

like any other library...
put the .jar file of the lib in the WEB-INF/lib of
your webappWrong in so many ways.
You don't add drivers to WEB-INF/lib if they're being acquired as datasources - the server needs access to the driver to create the data source. If you're not using a DataSource but materializing the connection directly, then this advice is semi-correct, but it's a crappy way to build a web app.
You don't normally add a JAR for the Sun JDBC ODBC bridge anyway as it's present by default in their J2SE implementation.
And finally, I think WebLogic doesn't use the Sun J2SE implementation anyway, so it's possible that the bridge is not available at all.
So the correct answer is: Don't use the bridge driver. Acquire a driver for your specific database and use that. And make sure that it's available to the application server. If you absolutely must use the bridge driver, you're going to have to use the Sun J2SE implementation to run WebLogic - and I think you'll have to consult the WebLogic site for help with that.

JDBC-ODBC Bridge does not support Unicode UTF-16

Hi
I'm using Jdeveloper 10.0.3 IDE in order to develop an application for data transformation between MS Access 2003 (source) and Oracle 10g (destination). Clients use Windows XP.
JDBC-ODBC Bridge still does not support Unicode UTF-16 which is the Charest used by MS Access 2000/2003.
Note that when I changed locale in regional setting, destination Connection to Ora10g failed to open a connection, it works only with English locale, so I can't change my locale information.
How can I read Unicode from source DB?
Any help would be appreciated. I look forward to see your response.
Thanks,

i also heared that JDBC-ODBC Bridge still does not support Unicode UTF-16,
but i guess this is not in my case.That's the key in fact. JDBC-ODBC Bridge does not support UTF-16, which is the charset used by MS Access 2000/2003.
or do i need to use a third party driver for jdbc odbc bridge?Free library at http://jackcess.sourceforge.net/

JDBC ODBC bridge connections using 2.1.1

Hi,
I have reviewed a lot of postings related to JDBC and third party drivers and understand how to connect to the packaged drivers such as MySQL and MS SQL Server/Sybase. Where I'm stuck is the reference in the Connections help to JDBC. We have a ODBC system DSN that's not part of the existing JDBC drivers. The help implies it's possible to create a JDBC:ODBC bridge connection and that JDBC:ODBC bridge functionality is part of the JDK therefore should not require additional jar files. However, the JDBC tab is not an available connection type by default. I traced the JDBC ODBC bridge to the rt.jar and tried adding that to the third party extensions but that has not resulted in the JDBC tab becoming available.
Is the JDBC tab only available when using commercial JDBC ODBC bridge drivers ?
For all other connections (DB2, TimesTen, Teradata etc) the help is very specific about which jar files you need and any other requirements but the JDBC section it is unclear how you enable JDBC connectivity.
Thanks

We are using the JDBC-ODBC bridge to do a prepared
statement. I have seen other bugs that suggest this
is problematic with older version of JRE, but was
supposedly fixed in later versions.
java.sql.SQLException: General errorIf it is not too late, check the following link:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/guide/jdbc/getstart/GettingStartedTOC.fm.html
Sections 6.1.3 and 8 (especially tables at the end).
I had the same case, and the problem was that the field in the Oracle database was defined as NUMBER(4), witch is equivalent to INTEGER in JDBC types, and function setInt should be used with INTEGER, instead of setLong.
This is explained in sections I mentioned.

Jdbc-odbc-bridge connection pool

I got a problem with odbc connection pool in my Sun App Server 7.
When i try to connect to the odbc database (msaccess or conzept16), i got a SQLException : com.sun.enterprise.repository.J2EEResourceException
java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: setdatabaseName .....
It seems that i cant set any propertys like url, user or password. The exception throws every time NoSuchMethodException: setURL or ... NoSuchMethodException: setUser
I tried this with pointbase database and pointbase drivers and there was no problem. Also when i connect direct from jsp page to the odbc database without connection pool it works.
How can i set a propper connection pool with the jdbc-odbc-bridge? Please Help. There is no jdbc driver for that database available.
Is that right using sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver for that?
here my server.xml
<resources>
<jdbc-resource enabled="true" pool-name="access-pool" jndi-name="jdbc/AccessDB"/>
<jdbc-connection-pool steady-pool-size="2" max-pool-size="6" max-wait-time-in-millis="60000" pool-resize-quantity="2" idle-timeout-in-seconds="300" is-isolation-level-guaranteed="false" is-connection-validation-required="false" connection-validation-method="auto-commit" fail-all-connections="false" datasource-classname="sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver" name="access-pool" validation-table-name="TAB_NAME">
<property value="jdbc:odbc:testdb" name="databaseName"/>
</jdbc-connection-pool>
</resources>

AFAIK the bridge driver does not support multipleopen
connections (which is what connection pooling
requires).Wrong.
It might be the case that the bridge AND ms access
does not support that but I seriously doubt that as
well.
Yesterday I didn't want to test this. Today I did.
So I can state that it is completely wrong.
There might be some other reason preventing the usage in a pool, but it isn't the number of open connections.

JDBC-ODBC Bridge, Swing Components

This program displays information from the Access database Autos.mdb.
Uses the JDBC-ODBC Bridge.
Requires a DSN called Autos pointing to Auto.mdb
I am using the swing components and can't seem to set up my combobox to pull the right data which doesn't display any of the data from the database. I am able to do it using AWT but would like a sleeker look so I am trying to convert. I have made the text bold where I am having the problem. Any insight would be greatful! I am very new to JDBC-ODBC so please go easy on me...

I am going to help you out but first I would like to advise you not to do this.
Mixing JDBC and Swing (or any GUI for that matter) like this is not the preferred way to proceed. If you want to learn JDBC then command line/shell is fine. If you want to learn Swing learn Swing. When you want to use the two together learn about MVC first.
I am advising you to do this because nobody writes code like this (mixing GUI and database and business logic all in one class). So if you want real world training MVC should be what you look at next.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model-view-controller for more
As near as I can tell your problem is mostly just because you aren't using the combo box correctly. Try
String strManufName = lstManuf.getSelectedItem().toString();it's a bit of a hack but will work for your purposes. What you need in the eend is to use the methods JComboxBox has like getSelectedItem() or getSelectedIndex().
See http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/combobox.html for more.
Some other comments.
1) It's nice to see you aren't just swallowing exceptions but some of them are kind of pointless if you just continue on. Like here
try
//Load the MicroSoft drivers
Class.forName ("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
catch (ClassNotFoundException err)
//No drivers found
System.err.println("Driver did not load properly");
}And then you continue on with the method. What for? There's no point since the driver didn't load.
2) Please look into the use of PreparedStatements. Very good things those. You can use them in place of your Statements. They are safer but for your purposes help you by you not having to worry about the formatting of data you bind to queries. For example what happens if a manufacturer name contains a ' (single quote) ? Trouble that's what. PreparedStatements make that problem go away.
3) Don't use SELECT *. It is always good practice to put the names of the columns you are selecting. This prevents your code from breaking if the order of the columns should change in any way.

JDBC-ODBC bridge connection failure.

I'm new to JDBC and JDeveloper and am having some difficulty
getting through the database applet tutorial.
I'm trying to connect to a Microsoft Access database using the
JDBC-ODBC Bridge. This is an interim stage before using a Linux
Oracle database which is not yet up and running.
When trying to add a data form, the database wizard fails at
step 4 of 7 after selecting the Sun JDBC-ODBC bridge and the
required data source the following error is presented:
Connection error
Vendor code 84
[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access 97 Driver]Driver not capable
I also tried setting up (using ODBC manager) a System DSN for a
text and Excel data source, but met similar problems e.g:
[Microsoft][ODBC Excel Driver]Driver not capable
Currently JDeveloper Beta 2.0 (build 184) and the ODBC source
are on the same NT4.0 (SP4) machine.
To confuse matters I'm actually running Access 95, rather than
Access 97.
I have previously successfully connected to an Access ODBC
source via JDBC in a Java application (not applet) when
following a tutorial example that comes with the Sun JDK 1.2. I
note, however, that jdbcodbc.dll that's part of JDK 1.2 is newer
(and bigger - 32K 01Dec98) than that supplied with the
JDeveloper Beta 2.0 (22K 05Nov98)
I'm a bit lost with this problem since nothing happens after
pressing help on the error dialog, and I'm not sure where to
look for log files etc. to further debug the problem. Any help
would be gratefully received!
null

The error indicates that the bridge is making a call to the
driver which it cannot handle -- either because the call is
invalid/unreasonable or because the driver doesn't implement the
functionality requested. An ODBC trace will determine which of
the two is true. If the first, you need to contact the bridge
provider to get a fix. If the second -- the ODBC driver
provider.
