Does JDBC/ODBC bridge support Unicode ?

I'm importing data from an Access database and Unicoded characters dont shop up correctly, but as '?'.
I assume that this is due to the ODBC driver, but just to rule other options out: Can the JDBC/ODBC bridge cause this ??

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 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!
Here the code without all the rest of the class arround it:

    System.out.println("Version      " +
      dma.getDriverVersion());
    System.out.println("");
    // Create a Statement object so we can submit
    // SQL statements to the driver
    Statement stmt = con.createStatement(ResultSet.TYPE_FORWARD_ONLY ,ResultSet.CONCUR_READ_ONLY);
    // Submit a query, creating a ResultSet object
    ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery (query);
    // Display all columns and rows from the result set
    dispResultSet (rs);
    // Close the result set
    rs.close();
    // Close the statement
    stmt.close();
    // Close the connection
    con.close();
}

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!
Cheers!!

Help! Crashing JVM while doing SELECT statement through JDBC-ODBC bridge

Hi everyone,
Help please. I am working on a project on my own computer using the jdk version 1.5.0_04.
The project involves running a select on a Microsoft Access 2003 database via the JDBC-ODBC bridge. The database is registered in the ODBC database sources, and it works fine in those other projects.
Yet, when I'm running similar code in this project, it crashes the Java Virtual Machine. I get the following in a log file:
# An unexpected error has been detected by HotSpot Virtual Machine:
# EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc0000005) at pc=0x7c901010, pid=2308, tid=1364

its because you use hungarian notation - that was the hollywood squares answer.
It looks like a bug in either the ntdll or the JdbcOdbc dll, so I'd see if you can't isolate the problem (like using a smaller bit of code) and file a bug report. Find out exacty what your sql statement is which causes this to crash - hint : line 215

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
Edited by: 845622 on Mar 18, 2011 10:59 AM - Clarified - sorry

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.

MS SQL Server 7 thru JDBC:ODBC bridge

Hi,
I am trying to access MS SQL server 7 thru JDBC ODBC bridge. I am finding my varchar data is being truncated to 255 characters. Any help on this would be appreciated.

Any body know of a good type 4 jdbc driver for SQL
Server 7. There is one for SQL server 2000
downloadable from micrsoft site, but does it work for
sql server 7 too ?Older betas of this driver suported SQL Server 7, but I believe the plan is to specifically remove that capability in its final release.
My biased opinion would be to try the driver from DataDirect. http://www.ddtek.com Its their driver (an older version) that Microsoft has licensed for MS SQl 2000.
Getting it from DataDirect has a couple obvious advantages:
1. Its a later, more stable, better performing version
2. It will continue to Support MS SQL 7
3. It's suported by 24/7 phone,email and web tech support.
4. And, early this week, you should be able to get the latest 3.0 release which promises to be even more robust, in addition to conforming to the new specs.
5. its not free, but then again- you get what you pay for...

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.

Connecting remote FoxPro dbf file using jdbc odbc bridge driver?

Hi all,
I am new to this topic, (even I read some threads)
I need to access some FoxPro tables (dbf files) and select some data and save to an oracle table. what is the best method to do this?
If I use java as development tool. which other drivers or methods to use beside jdbc-odbc driver?
I read from this link but I didn't understand.
http://java.sun.com/products/jdbc/faq.html#5
"5. How can I use the JDBC API to access a desktop database like Microsoft Access over the network?
Most desktop databases currently require a JDBC solution that uses ODBC underneath. This is because the vendors of these database products haven't implemented all-Java JDBC drivers.
The best approach is to use a commercial JDBC driver that supports ODBC and the database you want to use. See the JDBC drivers page for a list of available JDBC drivers.
The JDBC-ODBC bridge from Sun's Java Software does not provide network access to desktop databases by itself. The JDBC-ODBC bridge loads ODBC as a local DLL, and typical ODBC drivers for desktop databases like Access aren't networked. The JDBC-ODBC bridge can be used together with the RMI-JDBC bridge, however, to access a desktop database like Access over the net. This RMI-JDBC-ODBC solution is free.
"

Another solution by using HXTT DBF, a commercial type 4 JDBC package: You should read Remote Access Questions section at http://www.hxtt.net/en/software/dbf/faq.html#remote .

Setting up and checking JDBC-ODBC bridge

I'm supporting an application that does not use general JDBC drivers but relies on the JDBC-ODBC bridge. Can't currently get a connection to my 10.2 database, and it looks like the problem is that the JDBC-ODBC bridge isn't set up. Any hints on how to do this?
(I originally posted this on the database forum but was told to try here. Odd since my app is HTML and XHTML, and was not developed using JDev).
Regards
Simon

Why do you use the JDBC-ODBC bridge; if the database is Oracle 10? You should connect from Java to Oracle with the API driver or even better with the Oracle JDBC driver.
If the client is not Java there should be no reason the use the bridge.
The Sun JDBC-ODBC bridge is not intented for production.
You can find configuration information in this document:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/guide/jdbc/getstart/bridge.doc.html

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?

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"?

Access MS-Access using JDBC ODBC bridge from Sun AMD64

Hi,
We are trying to configure a communication channel using the JDBC adapter. We are setting the driver to the JDBC-ODBC bridge driver and trying to access an MS Acess database from the PI server(sun amd64). When we set the driver to the JDBC-ODBC bridge, the J2EE engine tries to restart immediately and does not start. The std_server.out contains the following error:
Service com.sap.aii.adapter.jdbc.svc started. (234 ms).
1016 sun.io.CharToByteASCII::convert (370 bytes)
1017 ! com.sap.sql.jdbc.common.CommonPreparedStatement::close (119
bytes)
ld.so.1: jlaunch: fatal: relocation error:

Has anybody been able to configure the JDBC-ODBC bridge driver for MS Access? Also, has anybody used the database vendor(MS) drivers? If so, where are they available.
Thanks in advance

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.

JDBC-ODBC BRIDGE gives classcast exception

I want to use your XMLSQL Utility to exchange data between XML
and database( Access database ) through sun's jdbc-odbc bridge,
but got the following run time error:
oracle.xml.sql.OracleXMLSQLException:
java.lang.ClassCastException:

While the SQL-to-XML functionality of XSU works with any JDBC driver, the 1.2.1 (current release) of XSU has the restriction that the insert/update/delete functionality only works with the Oracle JDBC driver.
We are testing the next version of XSU in house that fixes this limitation to allow it to support full functionality against any JDBC driver. We expect this release to be posted by next Friday (Oct 20th).

JDBC-ODBC Bridge is too slow

Why the Sun JDBC-ODBC Bridge is so slow? When i use the ms bridge it is as faster than a JDBC connection, but i found a bug on the ms bridge that it returns NULL when the value is a "" (blank)
Anyone how to make sun bridge has a acceptable perfomance?
I am using MySQL 3.23 and tested on Sun JDKs 1.1.8, 1.2, 1.4
My comp is a K6-2 400 with 128 RAM
Thanks

   I've found using a pure JDBC driver (ashna's JTurbo) to be
   roughly 40% faster than the bridge after doing some
   (admitidly) small amount of bench testing. I also found
   it resolved a number of issues (bugs??) with the bridge
   (e.g. no longer throws an occasional fractional truncation
   exception when inserting timestamps). As for the bridge
   being used only for test purposes check out this URL:
   http://java.sun.com/J2se/1.3.0/docs/guide/jdbc/getstart/bridge.doc.html
   They recommend using the bridge only for experimental use or when a
   pure driver is not available. I guess you could consider this as test purposes only.There is no such thing as a 'pure driver' (or 'pure jdbc driver' from a different post.)
The doc you site suggests a 'pure java' driver - a type 4. I question that. I know there are number of things that one can do in ODBC and in OCI which speed up requests. And obviously one can't do those in java.
Performance problems are caused by the following:
-Requirements-most impact
-Design
-Environment (cpu,network,thread, etc bottlenecks)
-Language/intefaces - least impact.
Changing requirements/design can easily produce impacts of orders of magnitude (by removing one requirement I reduce a 4-8 hour report to less than 30 seconds.) So how much impact did the 40% you saw impact your total application? Did you profile your application/system under load using a automated tool to measure the speed?
I would suspect also that the suggestion that the driver is 'experimental use or when no other alternative is available' might be slightly biased as the driver was produced by Merant who is actively selling drivers too. One would suppose that they were not allowed to deliberately introduce bugs into the code. However, they might have insisted that some language be introduced to suggest that someone should buy the product.

   But i can't believe i've tested today again and the sun
   bridge is working as fast the ms bridge! i can't
   understand, yesterday i've tested a million times
   and it was about 30 times slower, i'll try to find
   what's happened yesterdayDid you use a closed network? Did you use isolated servers?

Does JDBC/ODBC bridge support Unicode ?
