File to MS-Access database

Hello All,
I have been trying with scenario where in File content needs to create records in MS-Access database. As it is MS-Access there would not be any specific driver installation and i configured everything as specified and required but still i am getting the error as " failed: java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver ", my XI server is on UNIX, is it fine to have File->Access scenario with out any specific drivers? Please guide me. I have created an instance of mdb on XI server and tried to access but got the above exception.
Thanks,
Vijay Kumar T.

Also, can you post the contents of your classpath system variable?
Hope this helps.

Create separate PDF files from MS Access Database report field

In the development or update of pipe specifications the valve specifications (database records) that are associated with the piping specification are updated or corrected. These revised valve specifications are then exported as a group through the Access Report Print to PDF file with the piping specification name for the file name. Each separate valve specification within this single file needs to have its own PDF Valve spec file name so that each valve spec can be attached to project engineering documents or for purchasing. All of the valves are coded in the in the database and projects with this general description, V-?????? with each question mark representing a descriptive part of the valve. MS Access database has this V-?????? field name for every valve record in this large database. The current practice is extract from the single PDF file page thumbnails and rename every extracted file. With over 1000 valve records being updated, the task is time consuming.

These are the settings.

Hi
I Learned how to read a file text and Parse as StringTokenizer. But still i don't know how to read the Individual tokens into to database.
But now i face a new Problem, i am not able to sort it out.
i am posting my code
import java.io.FileReader;
import java.io.FileWriter;
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.PrintWriter;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class CSVExample {
 public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
 BufferedReader inputStream = null;
 PrintWriter outputStream = null;
 try {
 inputStream = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("file.csv"));
 String text;
 while((text=inputStream.readLine())!= null)
 StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(text);
 if(st.hasMoreTokens())
 System.out.println(st.nextToken());
 } finally {
 if (inputStream != null) {
 inputStream.close();
}Here the Problem is The file.csv has got two fields ID, NAME The content of this file is as follows
T12,MR.RAJ KUMAR
T13,MR.EARNEST DIES
T14,MR.MATHEW HYDEN
Now when i StringTokenize this File The Output printed as follows
T12,MR.RAJ
T13,MR.EARNEST
T14,MR.MATHEW
That means when it finds the Space it is not printing the Remaining Text.
Please Help me in this and then Tell me how to INSER The Tokens into the Database Table
Thank you for your service
Cheers

Insert Image file from java to ms access database

Are there any ways to insert image file or any files into microsoft access database and retrieve the file from the database. Guild will be helpful.Thank you.
regards
Singaravelan

The right answer? Don't do it. You should not be putting images in any database.
Better to write the image to the server's file system and add the path/link to the database instead.

Text file to Access database

How to add Data from text file in to access database?pls guide

No, he's claiming that MySQL has an "Import"
statement (which maybe it does) and wants to know if
MS Access has the same thing. Apparently he thinks
this has something to do with Java programming.Interesting. Were I the OP, I would try File -> Open, or File -> Import, or some such command. Also I would try an Access forum rather than a Java one...

Storing image file in ms-access using jdbc

Dear all,
When i try to store a image file in MS-Access, I try it using OLE Object type in ms-access and object type in Java but i got following exception
java.sql.SQLException: SQL Exception : Unknown SQL Type for PreparedStatement.setObject (SQL Type=1111
So anyone please guide me that how to store an image file into ms-access database using the jdbc.
ishan

Do you want to store the text from the file? or the actual file?
If you want to store large amounts of raw text, then you can use the MEMO type, but it will only store up to 64kb (65,535 characters). If you want to store the actual file, you'll have to use a field of OLE type.
Does this answer your question? or were you asking something else?

The Microsoft Access database engine cannot open or write to the file \\fileserver\db\access.mdb

Hi,
I have Windows Server 2012 with SQL 2012 Standard SP1. I am using linked server, and Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable to access my database file made in Microsoft Access (.mdb) from network file server.
EXEC master.dbo.sp_addlinkedserver @server = N'MyLinkedServer', @srvproduct=N'MyLinkedServer', @provider=N'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0', @datasrc=N'\\myfileserver.mydomain.com\files\mydatabase.mdb'

When I open (as domain admin with UAC elevated permissions) on my DB server SQL Management studio, I can browse tables and everything works.
The problem is, if I open SQL management studio (as domain admin with UAC elevated permissions) on my File server or any other computer, when trying to browse my linked server i got error:

I do not have any other program using my access database, and user has full control. I am trying to use in security mode - "For a login not defined in the list above, connections will be made without using a security context", i have also tried all four options.
I am confused becouse it works from SQL server but from any SQL client domain member computer/server it does not work.
I have same problem in another environment where I have Windows Server 2008 R2 and SQL 2008 R2 SP2.
Please help.

NTFS must be fine since it works from same server using same accounts.
As I understand, adding my access file to Access trusted location could be a problem. I have tried now to add my access database file location to trusted locations for user which is my SQL service user (Windows Service - AD managed service account MYDOMAIN\SQL1$)
and my test user which I use to connect to sql server as a client from sql management studio. (Account is Domain Admins and have full permissions on SQL server also)
I have added this .reg:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Access\Security]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Access\Security\Trusted Documents]
"LastPurgeTime"=dword:01592874
"DisablePromptOpenNetworkTrustedDocuments"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Access\Security\Trusted Locations]
"AllowNetworkLocations"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Access\Security\Trusted Locations\Location0]
"Description"="My file server"
"AllowSubFolders"=dword:00000001
"Path"="\\\\myfileserver.mydomain.com\\files\\"
I have done this for SQL service account user and my personal test account as I said. I have tried to logoff and restart sql service and all servers also.
The same problem still persists.
Anyway, thank you for giving me a hint.

Regarding File to JDBC/MS Access database

Hi all,
I am trying to insert some values in to MS access database table.I kept the .mdb file in the local PI folder.I am getting connection error
com.sap.aii.af.service.util.concurrent.ResourcePoolException: Unable to create new pooled resource: DriverManagerException: Cannot establish connection to URL 'jdbc:odbc:Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=//test/data/input/Employee.mbd': SAPClassNotFoundException: jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver
i have given the configuration as:
JDBC Driver: jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver
Connection: jdbc:odbc:Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=//test/data/input/Employee.mbd
Please give me some pointers.
Regards,
Anika

Hi Anika,
Also please check for :
You can set the configuration as following:-
JDBC Driver : sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver
Connection : jdbc:odbc:Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ= Full Path of DB file;
eg of full path:D:\USERS\Employee\employee.mdb
Please go through these steps: (Assuming you are working on Windows)
1) An ODBC driver for your database must be installed on the Windows computer running the application server.
Check if there's an ODBC driver for MS Acess on the application Server.
2) To connect through an ODBC driver, you must install the Sun JDBC-ODBC Bridge driver on the Windows computer running the application server. The driver comes with the Sun Java 2 SDK, Standard Edition, for Windows.
Also there is another point.
sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver
This driver is a part of the JDK kit and so, you need not install the driver on your XI server. Check the SAP Note JDBC FAQ for this info.
3)Define a DSN on the Windows system hosting your application server.
4)These parameters you need to give while configuring the JDBC receiver adapter channel

Accessing MS Access Database file from Sender JDBC in PI 7.1

Dear Experts,
I am on SAP PI 7.1 SP00. PI Server is installed on LINUX Server.
I am doing an scenario, where i am going to process the .mdb file through Sender JDBC Communication channel . I have put .mdf file in FTP server.
When I check in communication channel Monitoring getting below error :

I have seen many blog, but I am helpless. Could you kindly provide your suggestions.
Really appreciated your efforts and your valuable time.
Ahmed.

To connect to an Access Database, I create an ODBC data source and use the "sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver".

Size limit of access database with image files stored outside database

I have read 2GB limit on size of Access database. We are using Access 2013 database with fields that are data type attachment and storing attached images outside the database. Does the size of the folder that is holding these images count
in any way toward 2GB size limit?

Hi,
As far as I know, Access database limit size 2GB based on itself, not related to the folder size. Attachment data
type is similar to attaching files to e-mail messages. We need to control the Access database size is smaller then 2GB.
When a field is defined with the attachment data type, you can store one or more files for each record in it.
Attachments can dramatically increase the size of the database, but since the attached file is stored as a part of the dabatbase, you are not dependent on network drives being available as you would be if you inculded a hyperlink to the file. As a matter of
fact, feel free to backup the origainal file to other disk after you attach it to the database.

Why is the Microsoft Office Access Database Engine data source looking for a workgroup information file?

While trying to import to MSSQL2012 from SSDT using the wizard from an Access 2013 DB (.accdb) which is password protected, I get the following error with the username blank and the password field correctly populated:
Cannot start your application. The workgroup information file is missing or opened exclusively by another user. (MicrosoftOffice Access Database Engine)
But according to this link:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/access-help/what-happened-to-user-level-security-HA010342116.aspx
MSA10 and beyond shouldn't need workgroup information files, although it's not clear to me if they are
created/used or not.
I can point the wizard to some local version of system.mdw at Advanced -> All -> Jet OLEDB:System Database, and then the error becomes:
Not a valid account name or password. (Microsoft Office Access Database Engine)
for any username I can think of.
Questions:
1. Why does this data source insist on looking for a workgroup information file even though user-level security should be disabled?
2. Why does the Open dialog box for the Microsoft Access Database Engine have *.mdb as the only selectable filetype?
3. How can I get around these errors for an .accdb that is password protected?
Thanks!

Hi JordanPG,
To connect to Access 2007 or later database, we need the Microsoft ACE 12.0 OLE DB driver. SQL Server only installs the Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB driver which can be used to connect to Access 2003 or earlier database. Besides, the Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB
driver only has 32-bit version, but the Microsoft ACE 12.0 OLE DB driver has both 32-bit and 64-bit version. However, the 32-bit and 64-bit Microsoft ACE 12.0 OLE DB drivers cannot be installed on a single server.
According to your description, you can use the 64-bit SQL Server Import and Export Wizard to load data from the Access database, so the 64-bit Microsoft ACE 12.0 OLE DB driver is installed on your computer. Since the BIDS/SSDT is a 32-bit application, the
64-bit Microsoft ACE 12.0 OLE DB Provider is not visible in BIDS/SSDT. So, when you said that you select “Microsoft Access (Microsoft Access Database Engine)" in the SQL Server Import and Export Wizard (it is actually the 32-bit version) started by the SSDT,
I think it should be “Microsoft Access (Microsoft Jet Database Engine)”. Because the Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB driver only supports Access 2003 or earlier format, it threw the error “Test connection failed because of an error in initializing provider. Unrecognized
database format 'C:\myDB.accdb'”.
In this situation, you have two approaches to avoid this issue:
Launch the SQL Server Import and Export Wizard (64-bit), and select “Save SSIS Package” to “File System” on the “Save and Run Package” page. Then, the package will be saved to a specified directory. After that, you can add this existing package to a SSIS
project. The status of the corresponding OLE DB Connection Manager should be Work Offline, or the OLE DB Source will throw an error about 32-bit driver if the Connection Manager is not in Work Offline status, you can ignore that and the package can run successfully
in SSDT as long as the project is set to run in 64-bit runtime mode.
However, for the SSDT 2012 integrated with Visual Studio 2012, the 64-bit runtime mode is disabled. In this situation, to run the package in SSDT, you have to uninstall the 64-bit Microsoft ACE 12.0 OLE DB drivers and install the 32-bit one. Here is the
download link:

Restoring an ms access database backup file in sql server 2005

Hello everyone.
I have an ms access database backup file.
Presently i dont have ms access database in my system.
It is high priority to access that ms access database backup file.
So, is there anyway to access that in sql server?
-- Thanks and Regards Srikar Reddy Gondesi, Trainee SQL Server Database Administrator Miracle Software systems, Inc.

Hello sir,
i tried to use import/export wizard to import data from an ms access backup file.
I completed it with some warning's.
Wizard has shown that 2 out of three objects(tables and views) are copied to destination database(empty database which i have created for storing this imported data).
And in that process, wizard made me to create a package.
Now how to access that package?
And my newly created database has no data.(i mean it is supposed to have 2 objects which are copied from source right?)
Sorry if my doubt looks silly i have never used ssis or import/export ever before.
