Does JDBC Driver needs to be downloaded ?

Does JDBC Driver needs to be downloaded in order to be used?

Does JDBC Driver ....Huh?
JDBC is an inteface. It is part of the standard API that should come with most JVMs.
JDBC uses 'drivers' which are specific to the purpose at hand. The jdbc-odbc bridge driver comes with the Sun JVMs and has since at least version 1.1.4 (years ago.) Other drivers must be downloaded or acquired. For example the Oracle drivers can be downloaded from the Oracle site and they also come on the Oracle client install.

  • Requirements for JDBC Driver needed for SOA 8 }connection pool

    Hi,
    I have an AS400 jdbc driver. This driver is JDBC API version 2.x. Also is a Driver Type 4.
    What are the requirements of a JDBC Driver needed for connection pool in SOA 8?
    Thanks.
    Lorenzo Jimenez

    You can use pretty much any jdbc driver, including type 2 and type 4.
    You need to make sure your shared libraries needed by the driver are available to the appserver when you boot.
    Other than that, it is no different than configuring any other driver.

  • Does the JDBC driver need to changin when moving Oracle 9i to Oracle 11g??

    Hi All,
    I have two cases
    Case 1:
    Application is deployed on WebLogic 10 (JDK 5) and connects to Oracle 9i database using the thin driver. Now the database is now moving from ORacle 9i to Oracle 11g. I have the following question:
    1. Does the driver jar file and/or driver class need to be changed on the connection pool front?
    2. If yes then, do we need to change any of the jdbc coding to ensure compatibility?
    Case 2:
    Application is deployed on WebLogic 8.1 (JDK 1.4) and connects to Oracle 10g database using the thin driver. Now the database is now moving from ORacle 10g to Oracle 11g and application is moving to WebLogic 10. I have the following question:
    1. Does the driver jar file and/or driver class need to be changed on the connection pool front?
    2. If yes then, do we need to change any of the jdbc coding to ensure compatibility?
    Additioanlly, are there any other factors that I need to consider when upgrading these applications. Does any one have checklists?
    Any help will be really helpful.
    Thank you

    2. If yes then, do we need to change any of the jdbc coding to ensure compatibility?
    Not unless you want to use things not supported by the old driver.
    It is however a very good idea to at least update the name of the driver class, as the name used for the 9i driver has been deprecated (it's still allowed, but now leads to another method call which is a waste of CPU time).

    2. If yes then, do we need to change any of the jdbc coding to ensure compatibility?
    See above (except for the driver class name which you should have used the new name already had the application been written to make use of the new name which was introduced in 10g).
    Additioanlly, are there any other factors that I need to consider when upgrading these applications. Does any one have checklists?
    You should always do a full regression test of your entire platform when attempting a migration like this.
    Worst example of what can go wrong I ever encountered was an application where an upgrade of the database server it ran on led to a bugged batch job that for 5 years had (unnoticed to anyone) never completed because it always entered a timeout causing a rollback now suddenly no longer timing out and inserting 10k records of corrupt data every time it was run (where what it should insert were maybe a few dozen records of actual data at most).
    The database engine upgrade had not been announced to the dev team, the team responsible for it didn't do regression tests (as application testing is the responsibility of the dev team), the sys admins who should make full backups at upgrade moments (so we could roll back to the previous release if something went wrong) made no backup because it was no application upgrade, and now one of the core applications for several dozen offices was fundamentally broken.
    Technical lead for the application was literally on the other side of the world on a vacation, functional lead had left the company, the entire dev team consisted of me as a contractor brought in just 2 weeks prior and a new functional lead who'd arrived at about the same time, we were both still trying to get to know the system.
    Potential financial loss: millions a week if it wasn't fixed quick.
    That's the nightmare scenario from hell of course, where everything that could go wrong did go wrong all at the same time.

  • Where and when is JDBC driver needed?

    I'm just getting started with JDBC + MySQL. I'm writing applets. But where/when do I need to install the JDBC driver?
    1. Only at compile time and only on the machine where I compile my java code.
    2. On my webhosts server.
    3. On the client as some sort of plug-in. Meaning everyone who views my web page would have to download & install something.
    Thanks.

    The JDBC driver will be downloaded to the client
    machine in the codebase. The client has to havethat
    class in order to connect to the server. So itdoes
    add to the size of the download, it's just not
    permanently installed on the client machine.
    wrong.
    NO you are WRONG again!!!
    this is an APPLET not a SERVLET
    this means....
    (and really try to use your limited intelligence to read this next part carefully)
    that the JDBC connection is coming from the client's machine where the applet is running.
    this means that the applet will download the JDBC driver as part of what it needs to run.
    if this is was a servlet then obviously the driver would only be needed on the server....
    but it isn't
    it's an applet
    >
    The database must be running on same server thatthe
    applet came from, according to the sandbox
    restrictions on an applet. You might haveadditional
    security problems trying to connect to a different
    port. wrongwrong again...
    see above.
    >>
    I'd recommend against have an applet connectdirectly
    to a database. Have the applet connect to anobject
    running on the server that will do the database
    connections and queries on its behalf. - MODdont know what you mean by an applet connect directly
    to a database. how? the rest seems to be correct. to
    be more precise, however, i must add that you would
    need to use servlets in between an applet and the
    server. an applet cannot connect to machines other
    than the one that hosts it, yet the database can be
    anywhere as long as it is visible by the jdbc code
    residing on the hosting server. like you said
    correctly, the jdbc code does not have to be
    wodnloaded to the client machine, thus it adds
    nothing to the size.
    hope this helps.this almost contains some useful information...
    to the original poster.
    the stuff posted by duffymo is correct, stuff posted here (and elsewhere) by daFei is garbage and should be ignored.

  • Does JDBC driver support encryption?

    Does the JDBC driver support Oracle encryption?
    Is there a particular version of the jdbc zip file that we need?
    We're running on a Sequent, which does yet have the latest version of oracle- we're running Oracle 8.0.5.
    Is it 40 bit or 128 bit encryption?

    I have this sample code:
    String Query = "ALTER USER ? IDENTIFIED BY ? QUOTA 0 ON SYSTEM QUOTA 0 ON TEMP";
    PreparedStatement pstmt = conn.prepareStatement(Query);
    pstmt.setString(1,"\"TESTVIPIN\"");
    pstmt.setString(2,"\"abc123\"");
    pstmt.executeUpdate();
    Executing this, i get the same error. But if i try UPDATE statement, it is working fine. Is this problem with ORACLE JDBC driver (for ALTER USER...) or problem of code?
    Thanks,

  • Does JDBC application need oracle client

    We are going to wirte java application that going to use jdbc connection to Oracle database. The question is does this application require to have oracle client software to connect to Oracle?

    Whether or not you need the aim card is largely a matter of the bandwidth you need to support and the number of users.  For 5 simultaneous users at anything more than a few megabits I would definitely add the card.
    as for the version, I believe you need advanced security or enterprise.  There may be others but I usually stick with advanced security.

  • How to install a JDBC driver?

    Hello, everybody!
    I'm new to Java and I'm trying to install a JDBC driver. So, I downloaded the JayBird,
    a JDBC driver for Firebird, and now I don't know how to install the driver. I keep
    getting this message from the compiler when I try to compile the example that comes
    with the driver:
    DriverExample.java:182: package org.firebirdsql.jdbc does not exist
    d = new org.firebirdsql.jdbc.FBDriver ();
    ^
    1 error
    So, in the directory that has the example file (DriverExample.java) I created the
    following directory structure:
    C:\Example\org\firebirdsql\jdbc
    and inside the jdbc directory I copied the driver files:
    firebirdsql.jar
    mini-concurrent.jar
    jaas.jar
    mini-j2ee.jar
    log4j-core.jar
    and I still keep getting the error from the compiler. I just would like to
    know what I have to do to install this driver correctly for the compiler to
    find its packages.
    Below are the instructions the comes with the help to install JayBird, but I
    think that I did everything and it still didn't work:
    ======================================================================
    The classes from firebirdsql.jar must be in the classpath of the Java
    application being compiled, or otherwise made available to your application.
    The classes from the following packages must also be available:
    mini-concurrent.jar
    jaas.jar (included in jdk 1.4)
    mini-j2ee.jar (now including JDBC classes)
    log4j-core.jar (if you want logging available)
    The firebirdsql-full.jar file has all of the needed files in one
    archive for ease of use.
    These archives are included in the binary package.
    ======================================================================
    Please can someone help me?
    Thank you...
    Marcos

    My file (DriverExample.java) is in the directory 'Example' and the driver files are in the directory 'Example\org\firebirdsql\jdbc'
    That's what I did inside the directory 'Example'
    javac -classpath org/firebirdsql/jdbc/firebirdsql.jar DriverExample.java
    And that compiled ok.
    Now how can I specify where the driver files are for the java.exe? Of course I tried:
    java DriverExample
    and it didn't work.

    You can download the latest JDBC drivers from http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/index.html
    You just need to place the jar somewhere and add the location to your classpath.

  • Upgrade MS SQL 2005 platform to MS SQL 2008 - Update the JDBC driver...

    Hello to all,
    This is the second post that I created reporting this error because in the first one I open this message in group of "SAP on SQL Server" but without any kind of help from community:
    My problem is...
    I´m planning to do an upgrade of a sap system (SAP ECC 6.0) from SQL Server 2005 to a SQL Server 2008 but I´m facing with a little problem. This system has two stacks - ABAP + JAVA - and because of that the Upgrade Guide to MS SQL Server 2008 describe which are the requirements for this upgrade DB platform, and one of them is this:
    "If you use a Java system, you have updated the JDBC driver as described in SAP Note 639702"
    ... the updated of JDBC driver when we have in system a Java part, like it has in this case! But I´m with a serious problems to find in SAP System Files in Windows 2003 Server the four files that is mentioned in that note 639702. I can´t find it anywhere... in note says:
    Depending on the SAP release and the system configuration, the driver files base.jar, util.jar, sqlserver.jar, and spy.jar are available in an installed system at:
    (NetWeaver'04, Java:) usrsap<SAP SID>JC<InstanceNumber>j2eejdbc
    (NetWeaver'04, ABAP+Java:) usrsap<SAP SID>DVEBMGS<InstanceNumber>j2eejdbc
    (NetWeaver 2004s:) usrsap<SAPSID>SYSexe<NUC|UC>Platformmssjdbc
    But... still I didn´t find them! I also read other note 1109274 - New JDBC driver for NetWeaver 7.0 and higher but even so I still can´t find it!
    Can you help me to find this files on my operation system? I have to update that JDBC... but of course for this task I have to find it first!!!
    Best regards,

    Hi,
    Have you considered the possibility that the directory that was supposed to contain the jdbc drivers has been replaced by a recent kernel upgrade and you never noticed?
    Anyway, looking forward, put in a new set of JDBC drivers in the correct location.
    Also, with reference to the following point from the first note:
    Check your JDBC Driver version before you download it. To do this, unpack the attached check tool SAPCheckVersion in the relevant JDBC directory (refer to the previous paragraph). Then open a command prompt there and execute the following command:
    SAPCheckVersion.cmd <server name> <username> <password>
    Replace <server name> with the name of the database server, <username> and <password> with the logon data of an SQL user (for example, sa or SAP<SID>DB). If you call SAPCheckVersion.cmd without a parameter, the system displays detailed help. The tool supports both DataDirect and Microsoft drivers.
    *The download name tells you which version of the driver you need to download from SAP Service Marketplace.*
    Run this SAPCheckVersion and find out which drivers you need to download and then download them and use them.

  • Separating native JDBC driver JAR from applet JAR - best way?

    Since I want to allow the customers/users of my applet to choose their own native JDBC driver to purchase at their site, I don't bundle the JDBC driver into my applet's JAR file. During my testing, here's what I've done:
    1. Deployed my applet HTML and JAR files to a web server folder.
    2. Extracted my JDBC driver JAR file's contents to that same web server folder.
    (My applet HTML contains 2 parameters that allow the applet to use the JDBC driver -- class name and connection string template.)
    This works fine, but I'm wondering if I'm using the best techniques.
    Questions:
    1. Do the contents of the JDBC driver need to be extracted from its JAR file? If not, what do I do, if anything, to allow my applet to "see/find" the driver class within the JAR?
    2. If the JDBC JAR file DOES need to have its contents extracted, is there a way to extract them to a central folder somewhere on the web server and have a variety of applets use them? If so, what do I need to do to make my applet "see/find" the file(s) in the central folder?
    Possibly looking for this stucture on the web server:
    /WebApps/JDBCfiles
    /WebApps/MyDbApplet1
    /WebApps/MyDbApplet2
    /WebApps/MyDbApplet3
    Any advice/recommendations? Thanks.

    Is it possible for a client application to access a jarred JDBC driver? I'd like to deliver a JDBC driver packed in a jar file, however, it won't work, here is what I am tring to do
    try {

    m_Connection = DriverManager.getConnection(szURL, props);
    catch(Exception e) {/...}
    Before class myDriver and other classes from package mfg.jdbc were jarred, a client application used to get the connection just fine, now I get an exception "java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: mfg.jdbc.myDriver"
    I am using Java 2 Platform, no problem in running a jarred command like java -jar jarredclass.jar
    Any tips and hints would be gratfully received!

  • Why does my iphone need wifi to update

    Why does my iphone need wifi to download and install new software update!?
    While other iphones can do that with their cellular internet

    This is your phone's operating temp range:
    Operating ambient temperature: 32° to 95° F (0° to 35° C)
    You exceed that range & you'll get that warning...you do nothing, & your phone will shut down to prevent damage. Easy to exceed that range while your phone is navigating & exposed to sun or another heat source.
    It is what it is.

  • Need Help On How to Install JDBC Driver

    I've downloaded the JDBC driver and set the CLASSPATH environmental variable to the .jar file that is the same one I downloaded that is in the oracle folder. (not sure why I have to download it again) But, there are no other instructions on installation. I also tried copying the jdbc folder I downloaded to replace the one within the oracle folder and that didn't work either. If I type "import oracle." etc in netbeans it does not recognize the class / package. I can't be sure what the installation process is.
    I can't find clear instructions on installing JDBC other than the readme which says all you have to do is set the CLASSPATH, but it doesn't even mention what to do with the files you download. I found a developers reference that says all the things to check to make sure it installed correctly, but that is after the fact and I don't know how to get there.
    Thank you

    I already have the CLASSPATH set in the system environmental variables for ojdbc6.jar and orai18n.jar and it does not work.
    '.;C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_06\lib\ext\QTJava.zip;C:\app\0\product\11.1.0\db_1\jdbc\lib\ojdbc6.jar;C:\app\0\product\11.1.0\db_1\jlib\orai18n.jar"
    Also, I'd rather not have to run a TCP/IP listener so the OCI based JDBC driver would be preferred. Do I need to the OCI and the OCI based JDBC? (I read there is a difference) If so, could somebody give me the URL's because I can't find them.
    I find this very confusing. I found the page for JDBC, but that takes me to the JDBC page with many downloads and then they are all thin versions. So at the bottom it has a small link for "platform specific JDBC-OCI libraries See the instant client" so I click on the "instant client" (whatever that is) but that just has a download link for a zip file that has a readme with nothing other than a timestamp and a useless header with no information. This is just taking me in circles.
    What I want to do is start programming java in netbeans using JDBC. Thanks.
