[Help] Regarding database connection!

Hi , i am new to dreamweaver, I have started working on a website, the designing part is completed. I am now trying to connect database through dreamweaver to mysql. As i said I am new to this, I have created four pages, all of which are in .html format. When i try to connect to a database, it needs me o choose from .php or dotnet.
So, here is my question do I need to shift my work to dotnet or php? As i dont know php so i am taking dotnet
2ndly how can I connect to a database? All schemas are defined! Which files do i need to change if i want a registration page to connect to database??
Please Help!

If you want to connect your website to a database, it's advisable to change the filename extension of all pages from .html to the server-side technology of your choice. Before making your choice, you might find the following article helpful: Which server-side technology should I choose?
If you decide on .NET, you should be aware that Dreamweaver has no support for it.
Dreamweaver has extensive support for PHP, but I wouldn't recommend using Dreamweaver's built-in server behaviors to connect to a database. They rely on outdated code, and are not recommended for use in a live website.
If you want to set up Dreamweaver to work with PHP, instructions for doing so are in the following article: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/setup_php.html.

Need help regarding database connection

hello
iam new to j2ee i am using Jsp,Ejb and Jboss server i need to connect to the oracle database with the above configuration wher can i find the tutorials can anybody help me please

a word of advice - if you're new to jsp, jboss, and ejbs, and obviously know nothing about jdbc either, this isn't the way to learn it.
start with the jdbc tutorial and see if you can get a single java class to connect to a database and execute some sql. then work up from there.
what you're doing is something known as "biting off more than you can chew".

Help with Database Connected LiveCycle ES4 form

Hello and thanks for taking the time to read this question, I hope you can help!
I have a LiveCycle ES 4 form connected to an excel database. The form has buttons to "Add", "Update" or "Find" a record. These buttons all work correctly EXCEPT when the server drive that has the Excel file is not available. In this case I wanted to add code the "Add" button informing the user that there is an error. I tried adding a try/catch block before the SQL statement that inserts a record into excel but even when I purposely make the Excel file unavailable the try/catch block doesn't seem to work. The javascript console will show an error but try/catch doesn't seem to trigger. If I had a javascript syntax error within the try/catch block, it works as expected, but with the database connected form, it appears the try/catch block does not trigger based on errors generated as a result of the database file having an issue. In this case, the console just shows a "GeneralError: Operation failed." message. Why doesn't the try/catch block trigger since there is an error as stated on the console? Is there a work around? Thanks again for your help!!

HELP IN DATABASE CONNECTIVITY IN A SERVLET`

HI there,
I have some issues in an application. I have a servlet which is called Servlet1.class. I have deployed this in my tomcat webapps folder. There is a stand alone application called MailAgent.class which pools into a mail box and retrieves the messages and converts them as HTTP messages. Then the MailAgent.class sends the HTTP message as multipart post (email message) to the servlet. In the servlet I am trying to establish a database connection with the JDBC driver from third party vendor. I am unable to get the driver class when I establish the connection with the database. Is there any issues with servlet and database access. I am able to connect if I run as a stand alone application.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
John

There shouldn't be any .class file in your webapps folder. I hope you mean that you created a subdirectory under webapps, with a WEB-INF under that and /classes and /lib under that. Your servlet .class file and its package directory structure belong under webapps/yourApp/WEB-INF/classes, right?
You can create database connections in a servlet, although I agree with the previous poster that you'd be better off putting database code into objects that you could test off-line, without the servlet.
You've got to have the JDBC driver JARs in the webapps/yourApp/WEB-INF/lib directory, for starters.
If you get really adventurous you can create a pooled JNDI data source, but maybe that's another day's work. Get the basic connection working first.

Need design issue help regarding database access..

I have an web application running on tomcat that will have access to a database connection pool. I have found a free java api that provides connection pooling. The code i will be using is:
ConnectionPool pool = new ConnectionPool("local",
     10,
     30,
     180000, // milliseconds
     url,
     "b_lightyear",
     "BeyondInfinity");
pool.getConnection();
I need to put the above code somewhere where all my beans and classes can access it easily. I thought i would create a static class called DBConnector and have a getConnection() method to return a connection from the pool. However i would want the DBConnector class to be initialised on tomcat startup so that all the database pool can be initialised then. I dont see how i can do this? I know i can make a servlet initialised on tomcat startup but if i put the above code in a servlet how will i access it in my beans and java classes. I wont have the request, response objects available.
Discuss.

You should not need to 'control' access to the pool via a static method. The pool itself is probably implemented as a Singleton anyway. BTW, what pool are you using? DBCP from Jakarta is popular, stable and free.
You use the Servlet's init() method for startup tasks and its destroy() method for clean-up tasks. Initialize your pool in the init() method of your Servlet. Simple. Just make sure you don't declare instance variables in your Servlet, can lead to thread-safety issues.
BTW, love the Toy Story allusion! :^)

HELP----Inactive database connections.

I have just deployed a JDeveloper BC4J application and to my surprise, when a user enters a module, the database connections are all Inactive in the database. All my users have their own user ids. I am using Jdeveloper 9.0.3.4 (build 1247) and 10gAS on the middle tier. After running debug options, I can't see where the connection is being closed. Has anyone experienced this? I have logged a TAR and after 4 days, support is getting nowhere.

hi
did you get an answer?
if so could you post it?

Question regarding Database Connection.

Normally, after we open a database connection, we could use the Connection.close() method to close and return database connection back to a connection pool.
What would happen if I nullify the connection without using the close() method to close a database connection?
Would the database connection automatically close after I nullify it?
If not, how the connection going to return back to the connection pool?

The connection will close/be released automatically when the garbage collector runs, but you should NEVER rely on that because you never know when the GC will run or if it will collect all objects or only part of them. Best approach is to always have a finally block where you close/release the connection.

Help regarding issue connecting to DB through shell script

Hi,
I have a Oracle 8.1.7 Database running on a AIX box. I am trying to truncate one table from within the shell script using here documents.
Code section of my script -
succ=`sqlplus -s ${USR} << EOF
whenever sqlerror exit sql.sqlcode
set feedback on
Truncate table abc.xyz;
exit;
EOF`
USR has been set as /. We have ops$ users in the database. So when I run this script using my id it runs fine. The problem seems to be coming when this runs as part of the batch job which runs under a different osuser. The error is -
+ + sqlplus -s /
+ 0< /tmp/sh164108.8
succ=ERROR:
ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied
SP2-0306: Invalid option.
Usage: CONN[ECT] [logon] [AS {SYSDBA|SYSOPER}] | [INTERNAL]
where <logon> ::= <username>[<password>][@<connect_string>] | /
SP2-0306: Invalid option.
Usage: CONN[ECT] [logon] [AS {SYSDBA|SYSOPER}] | [INTERNAL]
where <logon> ::= <username>[<password>][@<connect_string>] | /
SP2-0157: unable to CONNECT to ORACLE after 3 attempts, exiting SQL*Plus
I am not sure what is going wrong. I have tried and googled for the issue and it seems that the issue is coming because the osuser under which the job runs may not be setup to use "sqlplus -s /" ? Any help appreciated.
Regards,
Saurabh

This is the forum for Oracle's SQL Developer tool, not for general SQL and PL/SQL questions.Questions like this will get a better response in the PL/SQL forum.
Having said that, it looks likely that the other user doesn't have an ops$ account.

Please help with database connection issue

Hi,
I've created a few connections and pages with a few recodsets on my local computer and am connecting fine with the database. I've uploaded the database via phpmyadmin onto a remote server and uploaded all my pages to the website and have changed the database info, user name and password in the connections folder but when I try to load the file I get a message "no database selected". I've tried various things but no luck. I'm selecting the database name but something is missing. Any help would be appreciated.

A bit more info: Here is the connection script as its defined in Dreamweaver: <?php
# FileName="Connection_php_mysql.htm"
# Type="MYSQL"
# HTTP="true"
$hostname_karen_product = "localhost";
$database_karen_product = "karen";
$username_karen_product = "root";
$password_karen_product = "root";
$karen_product = mysql_pconnect($hostname_karen_product, $username_karen_product, $password_karen_product) or trigger_error(mysql_error(),E_USER_ERROR);
?>
Where is says mysql_pconnect, I changed the $hostname_karen_product etc to 'localhost', 'username', 'the password for the database')
Do i need to do something different at $database_karen_product?
I'm basically new at this and confused as to how to alter this connection script.
Thanks
Derek

Help with database connection

ok I am trying to use dreamweaver's database function to
connect to a mysql database, i fill in the info and it gives me the
following error:
"an unidentified error has occurred"
I know all the info i am putting in is correct as I am copy
and pasting it directly out of my connection properties in navicat
mysql editor which can connect to the database fine
i tried connecting to multiple databases on multiple servers
and every single one returned the exact same error
I am using Dreamweaver CS3 for Mac OSx
thx for any help
-Ryan

Have you gone under the Application folder and clicked on the
plus (+) sign and created the connection to the database.
Also, do you have username and password on the database? If
so, you'll have to provide this information
I don't use MAC or PHP a great deal. So my help can be rather
limited. I'm just thinking about connection strings
What web server are you using? MAke sure it's running and set
up correctly. Test the server first and see if it's working. If so
see what connections string Dreamweaver is providing. I know Apache
had a few bugs with various version just Windows has had in the
past, not sure how these work with OSX

Please Help! Database connection

Hey guys,
I know this may seen very simple to some of you and I hope
that you can help me with all of your knowledge. I am trying to set
up a database for the first time. I just want to have a login page
on my site and I have no idea how to get started. I pretty much
need step by step instructions if someone could help. So far my
hosting provider told me some things but I still get an error
message. I was told the best way to connect to a ms sql database is
through a connection string. I tried that and it told me that my
name could not have any " - " in it. Then I tried getting rid of it
and it keeps giving me errors. If someone could please just point
me in the right direction to get started with this then I would be
forever greatful. Thank you so much for any help you can give me.

here is a example of a connection string

Need help with database connection and trasaction!

Hi, I'm trying to load data from a huge report to DB2. My old way of doing this is: 1. using DriverManger.getConnection to get a connection.
2. Then set autoCommit to false.
3. Keep the connection open.....
4. con.commit once I reach a section, let's say around 5000 records per section.
5. Close the connection once I finish loading, (Finally block)
I'm still new in the java world and kind of concern of the way of what I'm doing. Then I did some research. Perhaps using javax.sql.DataSource is a better approach. But I couldn't use it in WSAD. Do I need do some configuration? I heard it's in j2ee 1.4 . Is that the reason I couldn't use it?
And.......I tried to use DAO pattern to talk with DB. By that way, I have to open and close connection everytime I invoke the dao method. Then how can I control the transaction? Because I don't want to insert each record data in to the table right away. I want to do the commit once I get all records for one section. No idea how can I achieve this.
Any suggestion will be really appreciated!!!
