Database access question

How does Discoverer work in regards to accessing the data (not the EUL tables)? If the owner of the tables is left blank in the EUL, does it use the User Id of the person logging into the tool or does it use the owner of the EUL? I know in Business Objects, it uses only 1 Id (the same Id) to access the data for every query, no matter who logs in, essentially a disconnect between the user logging in and the owner of the query. That way you only need 1 id, 1 set of synonyms etc.

Hi,
It depends whether you are using an Apps mode or database mode EUL. With an Apps mode EUL the users always logon as the APPS database user. With the database mode EUL the users logon with their own database userid, unless you are using plus/viewer and a public connection. With a public connection the users logon with the same userid.

Newbie Database Access Question

I am familiar with SQL and database access from web programming, but have never done these things from within a Java application. My google searching has been fruitless thus far, so I'd appreciate any references to beginner's guides about how to query databases from a Java app and manipulate the resulting recordsets. Anything on Access db's would be ideal.
TIA,
John

Thanks for the reference. I have a question about this section of the tutorial:
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/jdbc/basics/connecting.html
Under the section "Loading the Drivers" is the following paragraph:
Loading the driver or drivers you want to use is very simple and involves just one line of code. If, for example, you want to use the JDBC-ODBC Bridge driver, the following code will load it:
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
Your driver documentation will give you the class name to use. For instance, if the class name is jdbc.DriverXYZ , you would load the driver with the following line of code:
Class.forName("jdbc.DriverXYZ");My question is: How do I decide which driver I need for connecting to an Access db on a Win XP machine? Is there perhaps another reference which answers these kinds of questions?
Thanks again,
John

Siebel Sample Database Access question

I am from the Oracle EBS world and am a newbie to Siebel. I want to try out Siebel.
Just like Siebel sample database EBS has a sample instance called VISION. There are few Oracle Partners that give free online access to the VISION instance.
My question is are there any websites that has free Siebel Sample database access.
I understand that installing Siebel sample database on a pc is relatively straight forward but I'll take that route if there are no other option.
TIA
Harsha

Hi,
That is the easiest way (installing Siebel Sample DB) i guess it's the only way.

Question about Database Access

Hello,
I have one question regarding database access from Java.
What are the other ways of connecting to database other than JDBC? This was one of the question I been asked by the interviewer. He says JDBC connection can slow down the perfomance when it comes large number of transactions?
Any insight or help will be very useful.
Thanks

He may have been referring to available "persistance managers" like Hibernate or the mechanisms build into EJB containers. However, as far as I know, they all use JDBC, and any speed-up is due to caching of data as objects.

Errors in the back-end database access module. OLE DB was unable to convert a value to the data type requested for column 5

Hi All,
I'm still struggling with the same cube and this is my 3rd post and once i fix some thing the other breaks. Please forgive me. When i process my cube i'm getting the error:
Errors in the back-end database access module. OLE DB was unable to convert a value to the data type requested for column 5.
My question is when the error says column 5 (is it the column 5 in the DSV?) or is it the column 5 in the DIMENSION list?
My next question is the DSV Query works perfectly fine , so why this error in cube? This is what i have in the query in DSV.
Please need help. In the below query both the column 5 (ArEASSIGNED TO VENDOR) in the CUBE and underlying table have the same data type and length VARCHAR(4000). Why is the process failing still?

I just counted the columns from the top:
1) compliancejoin, 2) mowingsector, 3) caseclosedflag, 4) casehasvendorinfo, 5) mowingstatus, 6) assignedtovendor.
I see now that your subject line talks about column 6, but you say column 5 in body of your original post.
I don't know anything about cubes, but apparently there is some mapping problem when you run it from SSAS. (I assume it is SSAS, a part of the product I'm entirely ignorant of.) I figured that if you had got tripped by the zero-based numbering, you
might be staring on the wrong column.

Errors in the back-end database access module. OLE DB was unable to convert a value to the data type requested for column 6.

Hi All,
I'm still struggling with the same cube and this is my 3rd post and once i fix some thing the other breaks. Please forgive me. When i process my cube i'm getting the error:
Errors in the back-end database access module. OLE DB was unable to convert a value to the data type requested for column 5.
My question is when the error says column 5 (is it the column 5 in the DSV?) or is it the column 5 in the DIMENSION list?
My next question is the DSV Query works perfectly fine , so why this error in cube? This is what i have in the query in DSV.
Please need help. In the below query both the column 5 (ArEASSIGNED TO VENDOR) in the CUBE and underlying table have the same data type and length VARCHAR(4000). Why is the process failing still?

How to handle and manage a multi Database access in runtime with LCDS?

Hello there
I got several customer working with the same application and I wonder how, with LCDS, to manage in a runtime a multi dataBase access; without creating a configuration "mxl" file in
the folder catalina for each database.
Indeed, each customer have their own dataBase, and so far, I did not find out how to avoid creating a config xml file in catalina for every single database; which force me to create as well for each customer a folder application, since the name of the config file in catalina require a folder application to be ran under tomcat....
Thus, my question is :
Is there anyway to create only one configuration mxl file in catalina (in the server side) and then from the client side (application) let the user select its environment (meaning its database) to run the application.... this technic can be also used for multi database environment such as : Dev / Test / Prod environment (or database) where the same application can access to.
Please if any one have an idea or already delt with; just let me know, because I'm entering in a bootle neck and the situation is getting serioulsy critical....

Hello Ulrich,
with compact and repair I mean the MSAccess function "Compact and Repair".
Please follow the link below for more details:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/access-help/compact-and-repair-an-access-file-HP005187449.aspx
Normally you can execute this function directly in Access or with the Windows ODBC Data Sources Administrator => "Control Panel" => "Administrative Tools" => "Data Sources (ODBC)"...
I want to execute this function via cvi code and not by hand ;-).
Thank you for your support.

Lync 2013 Enabling Cross-Database Access in SQL Server

Hello,
I want to know when Enabling Cross-Database Access in SQL Server will be enabled for Lync Server 2013.
Will Lync Server enable it by default?

Using the -force command as Saleesh noted should work, but will kill your contacts. If it's just a few users that are acting up, you can restore the contacts from backup for these users (export-csuserdata before you start).
Is it all users, or just a handful?

Database access in a MVC architecture

Hi!
I'm a bit confused with regards to where the database access code should be put in a MVC architecture. From reading various articles and posts on this forum, there seem to be a lot of different opinions.
Some seem to put the database access code in the controller servlet(or JSP), while some seem to use helper classes from the JavaBeans, while a few people even seem to access the database directly from the JavaBean.
My questions is: What is the best place to put the database stuff in a MVC architecture? An explanation as to why a particular solution is the best would be great..
Thanks!

Vidar

Let's say I have a class called Department that contains methods like getName(), getId(), setName(), etc... The Department class is my business object. To save and load Departments from a database, I have a class called DepartmentManager. The DepartmentManager saves and loads the departments to the database, and has methods like saveDepartment(), saveDepartments(), loadDepartment(), getDepartments(), etc... In some cases, my manager classes also caches the results so they don't have to load from the database each time. Often times, the manager class is a singleton. My Department class has no idea how it is persisted, or that it is part of a cache. It just knows about itself. The DepartmentManager is resonsible for managing all the persistance and lookup functionality for Departments.
Therefore, if I have a JSP page that needs to display Departments, my code might look like:
DepartmentManager dm = DepartmentManager.getManager();
ArrayList listDepartments = dm.getDepartmentList();
for (int i = 0; listDepartments != null && i < listDepartments.size(); i++) {
Department dept = (Department)listDepartments.get(i);
out.println("<option value=\"" + dept.getId() + "\">" + dept.getName());
}If I had a specific Department I needed, I would get it as follows:
DepartmentManager dm = DepartmentManager.getManager();
Department dept = dm.getDepartment(nId);

How to handle and Manage Multi DataBase access with LCDS in runtime ?

Hello there
I got several customer working with the same application and I wonder how, with LCDS, to manage in a runtime a multi dataBase access; without creating a configuration "mxl" file in
the folder catalina for each database.
Indeed, each customer have their own dataBase, and so far, I did not find out how to avoid creating a config xml file in catalina for every single database; which force me to create as well for each customer a folder application, since the name of the config file in catalina require a folder application to be ran under tomcat....
Thus, my question is :
Is there anyway to create only one configuration mxl file in catalina (in the server side) and then from the client side (application) let the user select its environment (meaning its database) to run the application.... this technic can be also used for multi database environment such as : Dev / Test / Prod environment (or database) where the same application can access to.

Database access from session bean

Hello,
I have a stateless session bean which performs some complex
calculations, and also does some database access.
For the database access the bean class has a datasource as
follows:
public class TestBean implements SessionBean {
private DataSource ds_;
public void ejbCreate() {
     getDataSources();
private void getDataSources() {
     try {
     Context ictx = new InitialContext();
     ds_ = (DataSource)ictx.lookup("java:comp/env/jdbc/TestDB");
     } catch (Exception e) {
     e.printStackTrace();
     throw new EJBException(e);
Now this class has a method (which is also in the remote interface)
calculateSomething(). This method constructs a number of other
objects that do the actual calculation, and one of these objects
does the actual database access. How would another object be able to
use the datasource that was constructed in the bean class?
I could pass the datasource reference to that object, but that would
break my encapsulation. This is because that object does not get
created directly by the bean object, but rather the way the objects
interact is something like A -> B -> C, where A is the TestBean, and
C is the object that does the DB access. If I passed the datasource,
I would need to make B aware of the datasource, which doesn't
seem good design, because B doesn't do any database access.
Alternatively I could do the lookup in class C, but that would
degrade the performance, as an object C gets created and destroyed
every time the calculateSomething() method is called.
A third option I have thought of, is to add a public method to the
bean that returns a connection. Whenever another object gets
created, a reference to the bean object will be passed along. Then,
if another object needs to do database access, it will call back
the bean to get a connection. This seems just as bad (if not worse)
than the first option.
Does anyone have an elegant solution for this situation? What is
the best practice of handling datasources when a bean class doesn't
do the database access itself? In all the examples I've seen so far,
all the functionality was in the session bean class, but again that
doesn't seem good OO design, and would result in a single huge class.
regards,
Kostas

Thanks again to both for the replies. Here are my responses:
Yi Lin: Yes, I know that an entity bean would solve this problem, however it has been decided not to use entity beans so this is not my call (I think the reason entity beans are not allowed in this project is that they are considered risky: there are other applications that access the same database, so if the container caches entity bean data as you describe, then the users might get inconsistent results).
Gerard: Actually object B is the one that has the business logic and C is a peer object that only does database access and no calculaitons. For example B can be Customer, and C CustomerDB. This is why object B does not have any knowledge of datasources or connections. So my design does not appear to be that bad!
As far as the factory you propose is concerned, I cannot understand how this would solve my problem. In order to solve this situation the factory would need to be persistent, i.e. get created by the ejbCreate() method, and destroyed whenever the container decides to destroy the bean. There would be no point in object C creating the factory, as I would have the overhead of doing the JNDI lookup every time I create a C.
So the question remains the same: how would I pass a reference to the factory from A to C without making B aware of it?

Database access... what is the best approach

in a nutshell...
i have an applet that needs to access three data bases... currently i have it written and completed and working but the lag time on the database access is really slow so i am questioning my approach to the problem...
as a buisness rule we wanted to create classes to access the data through accessor mehtods from applications and appletts therfore standardizing our field name conventions, our methods and so on and so on...
so when the applett runs it creates an object for each class that access the database... when the user enters a valid "parcel number" the parcel is passed to the first class and the record is retrieved for database "A" and then it is passed to the next class and the supporting records are retrieved for data base "B" and it repeats the same concept for database "C".. so now i have the applet running and accessing the data through accessor methods through those objects...
each class makes the conection to the data base.. issues the sql, stores the results and closes the connection
i'll admit i am somewhat new to the java envirnoment so any help on concepts and approach would be most appreciated and useful
does this approach seem reasonable or am i letting my 15 years of procedural thinking get the best of me...
what would be the most effiecent way of doing this?
how much of a performance gain would i see if i threaded each one out on it's own thread and how would i do that?
the end product is going to be a county taxation system using browser technology as an inquiry system for public and general use and an application environment for inhouse data entry and use
creating seperate classes for each of the data basses seems ideal for what we want to do but maybe it is counterproductive considering the lag times.
i am using JDBC against an HP3000 image DataBase

With the information given that is the only possible approach.
You could provide a middle layer which would then handle some of the interactions for you. For instance by keeping a connection pool.
Additionally if your databases are not actually distributed (and the same vendor) then you could do most of the work in a stored procedure. You could also do this if some of the data is relatively static and by using a server side replication process.

Help...create database(access) using java

i had developed an java application that capture packet using Jpcap but i dont know how to keep the packet captured into database(access).i can save the packet captured in text file but not in database(access).i already had the database conectivity but i don't know how to insert the packet caputred in the table in access, is it using sql statement like INSERT INTO? or else?i realy don't know.can someone help me....?

i can save the packet captured in to text file but not in database(access).I guess that you wish to get a databse file with your data, not a simple insert sql question.
1. commercial solution: HXTT Access(http://www.hxtt.com/access.html), which supports create database, create table sql, and batch insert data from any JDBC driver.
2. free solution: jdbc-odbc bridge and dsn-less jdbc url, you need to prepare a blank mdb file with blank table, then copy that blank mdb file into new mdb file, then repeat insert sql for that new mdb file.

Database access patterns

I've been wondering for a while what techniques people use to access databases. I'm not talking about the JDBC API but how are applications designed. One obvious objective is to consolidate all database access into one package and not have SQL strewn throughout the app. This obviously helps for abstraction purposes, you could easily change the backend, but also makes for easy updates if you make a schema change. I've read about the Database Access Object pattern and like the idea of seperating database access details from the rest of the application. My question is one of implementation. Say you use something like the DAO pattern. Now you have one database access class for each business object and typically (not always) there is a 1:1 mapping of business objects to database tables. How do you actually implement the DAO class? Do you write a single method for each type of query you may perform? For example, say I have a simple schema where table A references table B and table B references tables C. I could query for Object C (from table C) in a number of ways such as:
select * from tableC, tableB where tableC.column2=tableB.column1 and tableB.column3=1234;
or
select * from tableC, tableB, tableA where tableC.column2=tableB.column1 and tableB.column2=tableA.column1;
and so on . . .
I'm wondering if people use some kind of abstraction to dynamically genereate the sql query on the fly or do you simple have seperate method calls for each query and just drop in the values:
ObjectC getCfromB(int tableBcolumn3Value){
String sql="select * from tableC where tableC.column2=tableB.column1 and tableB.column3="+tableBcolumn3Value;
//do your JDBC stuff and return ObjectC
Is there a way of having the database access classes understand the schema of your DB so if you supply a column from tableB and ask for objectC it knows what to do?
It seems labor intesive to have to write a method for each type of query,insert, update,delete you might do. How do people handle this? Are there any other standard/accepted methods of separating database details from the rest of the app, other than the DAO pattern?
thanks

I'm trying to dive into an object/relational mapping layer. I don't want to have to write and maintain DTOs for every application.
I looked into OJB from Jakarta first. I liked the cache it had as part of the Jakarta family. It worked fine, but I was uncomfortable with the level of documentation.
I'm diving into Hibernate now. It seems to have more traction, and there's more documentation. I like the XDoclet/Ant tie-in. Gavin King is working with JBoss now, so Hibernate will be wired into JBoss in the future.
I hope I can make Hibernate a standard part of my repertoire.
If you'd rather not go that way, Martin Fowler's "Patterns Of Enterprise Application Architecture" has several approaches to the problem of data mapping layers.- MOD

Database access through Beans

My question is about high level design. I've written some JSP pages and some very simple JavaBeans that work on Tomcat.
Now I'm trying to design a Database access layer
I want to have a connection pool class and some other business logic classes communicating with each other.
How can I start a bean and keep it running and how do I access its methods from other beans?
Is this even feasible?
if I declare the scope of the bean as the application would I have to put it in all the pages of the web site or not?
Also, should I just forget about JavaBeans and do Servlets? Maybe EJB is better for this?
Please provide some examples in your answer if possible.
Thanks,
David A

My question is about high level design. I've written
some JSP pages and some very simple JavaBeans that
work on Tomcat.
Now I'm trying to design a Database access layerThe design and implementation of a persistence layer has nothing at to do with how the data is eventually displayed. Persistence is the same whether you use a Web or a Swing interface, so the question about Tomcat is moot.
I'd look at Martin Fowler's "Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture" for its chapter on persistence or the Hibernate object/relational mapping tool.
I want to have a connection pool class and some other
business logic classes communicating with each other.Personally, I prefer to let Tomcat handle the database connection pool. I use the Commons DBCP class and configure my connections that way. Then I have my Java code do a JNDI lookup to access them, do the required database operation, and then close the connection to return it to the pool.
How can I start a bean and keep it running and how do I access its methods from other beans?
Is this even feasible? I'm not sure I know what you mean by "start a bean and keep it running". HTTP is a request/response, stateless protocol. You should think about operations as being initiated by a request and then going out of scope once the response is generated, much like the protocol itself. You don't keep a bean running in that case.
if I declare the scope of the bean as the application would I have to put it in all the pages of the web
site or not?You have to <jsp:useBean> in every page that needs it. Whether or not application scope is really appropriate or necessary is another matter.
Also, should I just forget about JavaBeans and do Servlets? You can and should use JSP for View, a servlet as your front controller, and JavaBeans to do the work in the back. It's not an either/or question. You really should be using all three.
Maybe EJB is better for this?You use EJBs if you have a highly transactional, distributed, clustered application. If none of those things apply to you, there's no reason why you must use EJBs.
Have a look at the Struts and Spring frameworks.
