DSNless connection

I guess this isn't related to jdbc-area but here. What Im looking for is method telling directory where currently running application is located. I have a static string
static String conString="jdbc:odbc:DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};SERVER=myserver;DBQ=c:\\apps\\myDb.mdb";and that path is now hardcoded but it shouldn't be. So something like this is needed (I guess):
String myLocation = tellMyLocation();
static String conString="jdbc:odbc:DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};SERVER=myserver;DBQ="+myLocation+"\\myDb.mdb";

easy : use a file giving the location and read this file to get the location !! The location of this file will be hardcoded !!
Good luck

ODBC DSNless connection

I created some ASP pages for a database and while onmy local
machine everything was good.
When uploaded to my host the connection failed and they
suggested a DSNless connection, i reasearched it on the net and
there were several tutorials but none of them worked.
The current connection is
// FileName="Connection_odbc_conn_dsn.htm"
// Type="ADO"
// DesigntimeType="ADO"
// HTTP="false"
// Catalog=""
// Schema=""
var MM_tracks_STRING = "dsn=tracks;"
and the link on the ASP pages is
<%@LANGUAGE="JAVASCRIPT"%>

<%
var rstracks_cmd = Server.CreateObject ("ADODB.Command");
rstracks_cmd.ActiveConnection = MM_tracks_STRING;
rstracks_cmd.CommandText = "SELECT * FROM tracks ORDER BY
Suburb ASC";
rstracks_cmd.Prepared = true;
var rstracks = rstracks_cmd.Execute();
var rstracks_numRows = 0;
%>
Can anyone help me modify this to get it working?

replace this:

With this:
<%
Dim MM_tracks_STRING
MM_tracks_STRING = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data
Source=C:\SomeFolder\SomeDatabase.mdb;"
%>
Be sure to keep the MM_tracks_STRING = line on one line

Dreamweaver & DSNless connection

Dreamweaver & DSNless connection
I am fairly familiar with Dreamweaver and creating static web
pages. However this is my first attempt at a dynamic webpage and I
have hit several hurdles.
First I setup a DSN connection...but was later told by my
host that a DSNless connection would work better. So that is what I
am not working on.
They told me to use the following script
Set oConn=Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
filePath = Server.MapPath("Your Access DB File")
oConn.Open("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source="
+filePath)
So I did that I entered this script into the Database/Custom
Connection String/Connection string in Dreamweaver CS3
Set oConn=Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection"); filePath =
Server.MapPath("echohockeydb.mdb");
oConn.Open("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source="
+\echohockey\Database)
When I click "Test" I get the following error
Unknown error 0x800A0BB9
Arguements are of the wrong type, are out of acceptable
range, or are in conflict with one another.
Since I am just learning, I don't know if I entered the
information in the script wrong, or if my problem lies elsewhere.
The really frustrating part is that my page is uploaded and it
works, but I need to change the data that is on the page. When I go
back to add/edit the record sets it tells me that it cannot find
the record set or the database connection.
Is the problem obvious? Do you need mor info to troubleshoot?
Sorry for this question, I am teetering on the edge of being out of
my league with this project.
THANKS!

Unless the forum mangled your code (doesn't seem like it
because
connECHOHockey looks okay)
You are missing quotes in the MM_connECHOHockey2_STRING
connectionstring
MM_connECHOHockey2_STRING = "Driver={Microsoft Access Driver
(*.mdb)};Dbq=C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\echohockey\Database\echohoc
keydb.mdb;"
The problem with MapPath in a dreamweaver connectionstring is
that
dreamweaver doesn't execute that function, you can try fixing
this by
defining the connectionstring twice, first with the full path
of the
database on your local machine (this is what dreamweaver will
use), and
second with the mappath, it'll override the connectionstring
when the page
is executed by the server, but not by Dreamweaver because it
only looks for
the first string.

Using Password with DSNless connection to Access DB

Has anyone actually used a password to connect to a local Access database? I keep getting the "Not a valid password" error.
I have created an application for distribution and do not want to allow the users to change my database, so I put a password on it. Because the users can create new databases with the program, I would like to use a DSNless connection to allow the user to change the databases easily.
I have successfully worked with the database through a DSN connection with the password, and with the DSNless connection without a password, but am unable to get in with a DSNless connection and a password.
I have read as many postings and topics using the main key words as I can find in the APIs, forums, tutorials, bug databases, etc., but this topic is not addressed.
I have tried as many permutations on the advice I did find, and nothing works so far. Here are a few of the tries I made:
String theurl = "jdbc:odbc:Driver={MicroSoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ=c:\\demo\demo.mdb;Password=\"demo\"";
con = DriverManager.getConnection(theurl)
String userid = "";
String password = "demo"
String theurl = "jdbc:odbc:Driver={MicroSoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=c:\\demo\demo.mdb;"
con = DriverManager.getConnection(theurl,userid,password);What am I doing wrong?
I would appreciate any help I can get.

I'm sorry, I should have posted my entire code. As you can see, I have included the Class.forName method. The password that I set on was on the database; I did not create any users. The question about copying a database vs. creating a new one is moot here, because this database was created independently from any others. (However, you are correct in that I am actually copying a "Master" version of the database, not actually creating a totally new one.)
Here is my code:
import java.sql.*;
import java.util.*;
import sun.jdbc.odbc.*;
public class testPassword {
private String theurl;
private String user = "";
private String password = "";
private Connection con;
private Statement stmt;
public testPassword() {
    try {
      Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
          theurl = "jdbc:odbc:Driver={MicroSoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};" +
            "DBQ=c:\\demo\\demo.mdb;Password=\"demo\"";
      boolean found = false;
      con = DriverManager.getConnection(theurl);
      try {
     stmt = con.createStatement();
     String pword = "";
        String query = "SELECT password FROM SysInfo";   // system Info
        ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(query);
        while (rs.next()) {
          pword = rs.getString("password");
        rs.close();
        stmt.close();
        con.close();
        System.out.println("Inner Password: " + pword);
        System.exit(0);
      } catch (Exception e) {
          System.out.println("Inner failed " + e.toString());
          System.out.println("Outer Password: " + password);
    } catch (Exception ex) {
        System.out.println("Outer failed " + ex.toString());
        System.out.println("URL: " + theurl);
public static void main(String [] args) {
     testPassword app = new testPassword();
}BTW, for those replies that I keep seeing all over the forum that say that you MUST create a DSN, that is NOT correct. Please do a search on "dsnless" or "dsn-less" and you will see that it is totally feasible.

DSNLess Connection to OracleDB v8.1.7

Hi, I encounter problems in using DSNless approach to connect to Oracle DB. My program is using JDK1.1.8, Oracle DB version 8.1.7. Please help to identify the problem and provide solution to it.
Below is the code used and the error message
Trial A:
Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver").newInstance();
con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:@IP Address:port:Oracle_SID", uid, pwd);
Error --> java.sql.SQLException: Protocol violation
Trial B:
Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver").newInstance();
con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:@hostname:port:Oracle_SID", uid, pwd);
Error --> java.sql.SQLException: hostname
Trial C:
Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver").newInstance();
con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:uid/pwd@hostname:port:Oracle_SID");
Error --> java.sql.SQLException: hostname

Hi,
The "protocol violation' is message that is thrown when Oracle cant throw a more
specific message.
Please try following code, but before that please include classes12.zip in ur classpath. This file contains the oracle thin driver.
Connection connection = null;
try {
Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
String url = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@hostname:port:Oracle_SID"
connection = DriverManager.getConnection(url, "dbName", "password");
}catch (Exception e){
e.printStackTrace();
good luck ...san :-)

How to connect database using type4 driver(dsn or dsnless connection)

please send any one reply answer

One reply - not possible.
DSN/DSNless refers to a specific driver. And that driver is not a type 4 driver. So it is not possible.

DSNless connection to SQL Server and Oracle

hi,
how can i connect to SQl Server and Oracle without specifying the DSN.
zulfgi

My favorite reply again:
Someone wrote in a newsgroup about configuring some kind of "temporary DSN".
His example was for Excel, but it will maybe work the same way for other drivers:
db = DriverManager.getConnection(
"jdbc:odbc:Driver={Microsoft Excel Driver (*.xls)};DBQ=c:/temp/test2.xls;DriverID=22;READONLY=false","","");
Also someone else suggested for SQLServer:
db = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:Driver={SQL Server};Server=MyServerName;Database=MyDataBase","","");
Find out the right driver clause for Oracle; look at the names the control panel ODBC manager shows.

Hartmut

Any particular reason you are using DSN rather than DSNless connections?

Can you explain? How do you know the new records where added if you can't access them?

DB Connection Issue

Hi, I am currently having a problem with MXDW 2004.
I have recently got a new machine and now DreamWeaver will
not see my DB eventhough I know that the connections are working
and Good etc.
I have tried using a DSN and DSNless connections and I am
still unable to get it to see the database which is a pain as i
cant Eddit or create recordsets or generate SQL etc.
I know the connections are working correctly as i can view
the site and i was able to do everything as normal on my old
machine. Also i can still use my laptop (which is what i am now
forced to do) But this is a pain as it's 8 years old and very slow.
What am i doing wrong or what have i forgot to do ????????
Any help will be greatly appreciated and I am happy to help
anyone where ever possible

Are you using remote I'm guessing? Have you checked both
settings side by
side and confirmed they are the same?

Hi Niklaus,
Do you have the same behavior when you try with, for instance the, Sun JVM? If so, then it is not a JRockit-specific issue and you will probably get a better answer in one of the WebLogic forums here:
