How good is the java jdbc-odbc bridge in 1.4.0?

Hi,
Can anybody tell me whether this bridge (in the latest SE, 1.4.0) does things like ResultSet.UpdateRow()...
i.e. jdbc 2.0 functionality? I keep getting an ArrayOutOfBounds exceptoin...
if not, can anyone recommend a good, free driver for use with MS Access?
Thanks,
Mike

And as I suggested...

How do I get the SUN jdbc-odbc bridge to work?

Hi,
I'm trying to us the SUN 1.2 jdbc-odbc bridge on Oracle 8.
I have installed the ODBC driver from www.intersolv.com
(Merant) and have successfully tested it.
I have SUN 1.2 installed and verified that
the sun JdbdOdbcDriver is in my CLASSPATH.
My driver path is:
sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver
My url is
jdbc:odbc:Oracle8
my odbc.ini is correct, and my ODBCINI is set.
when I try to connect I get "No suitable driver".
The SUN documentation indicates this error means
my shared libraries aren't correct, but I have
verified my ODBC setup with a odbc demo app.
Any suggestions on how to form my url?
Has anyone used the bridge on Solaris?
null

The display is just too dim. I tried the brightness and backlight settings and these do not work. This has been like this since I bought it. Never bothered to deal with it before and just made do with reading a very dim menu.

How good is the java Ras Sdk in Business objects XI?

I have programmed some reports from scratch by using the java ras sdk.
Somehow I have the feeling that new features of XI like dynamic image location, or
running totals aren't so well supported as for example through the Crystal report Designer.
Do others also think that Business objects is being a bit negligent on this Api?
Maybe they do not consider the Api as important anymore because most people will be using there web based out of the box jsp components?

Normally you should run your CR reports in the INfoView. You can start a report either by double clicking on it or by selecting View in the context menu. Still in order to fetch data you have to press the Refresh button in the CR viewer window (in the InfoView).
In the CMC I assume that you are using the Run now option in the context menu. Please note that this will just schedule your report immediatelly. hen the report is scheduled a new instance is created hich is available in the History of the report. In order to see a report in the CMC select again View in the context menu and you can again fetch data by pressing the Refresh button.

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?

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

JDBC-ODBC Bridge with iAS on UNIX

Can the Sun JDBC-ODBC bridge be used with iAS on UNIX (Solaris)? If possible, can someone share the basic steps. For example, what parameters to enter when configuring the bridge as a datasource and also how to pass needed environment variables (LD_LIBRARY_PATH has to have the path of the ODBC driver manager).
I need to connect to a ODBC driver on UNIX, no JDBC driver is available for this data source, nor is a Windows solution acceptable.
I have iAS 6.0 SP3 with iWS 4.1 SP9 on Solaris 8.

Weblogic server using jdbc-odbc bridge

I want to connect to database through jdbc-odbc bridge.I am using web logic server. When i creating new jdbc connection pool a error comes that driver class is not on classpath. how i rectify this problem? how I make weblogic to recognize sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver?

like any other library...
put the .jar file of the lib in the WEB-INF/lib of
your webappWrong in so many ways.
You don't add drivers to WEB-INF/lib if they're being acquired as datasources - the server needs access to the driver to create the data source. If you're not using a DataSource but materializing the connection directly, then this advice is semi-correct, but it's a crappy way to build a web app.
You don't normally add a JAR for the Sun JDBC ODBC bridge anyway as it's present by default in their J2SE implementation.
And finally, I think WebLogic doesn't use the Sun J2SE implementation anyway, so it's possible that the bridge is not available at all.
So the correct answer is: Don't use the bridge driver. Acquire a driver for your specific database and use that. And make sure that it's available to the application server. If you absolutely must use the bridge driver, you're going to have to use the Sun J2SE implementation to run WebLogic - and I think you'll have to consult the WebLogic site for help with that.

JDBC-ODBC bridge connection failure.

I'm new to JDBC and JDeveloper and am having some difficulty
getting through the database applet tutorial.
I'm trying to connect to a Microsoft Access database using the
JDBC-ODBC Bridge. This is an interim stage before using a Linux
Oracle database which is not yet up and running.
When trying to add a data form, the database wizard fails at
step 4 of 7 after selecting the Sun JDBC-ODBC bridge and the
required data source the following error is presented:
Connection error
Vendor code 84
[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access 97 Driver]Driver not capable
I also tried setting up (using ODBC manager) a System DSN for a
text and Excel data source, but met similar problems e.g:
[Microsoft][ODBC Excel Driver]Driver not capable
Currently JDeveloper Beta 2.0 (build 184) and the ODBC source
are on the same NT4.0 (SP4) machine.
To confuse matters I'm actually running Access 95, rather than
Access 97.
I have previously successfully connected to an Access ODBC
source via JDBC in a Java application (not applet) when
following a tutorial example that comes with the Sun JDK 1.2. I
note, however, that jdbcodbc.dll that's part of JDK 1.2 is newer
(and bigger - 32K 01Dec98) than that supplied with the
JDeveloper Beta 2.0 (22K 05Nov98)
I'm a bit lost with this problem since nothing happens after
pressing help on the error dialog, and I'm not sure where to
look for log files etc. to further debug the problem. Any help
would be gratefully received!
null

The error indicates that the bridge is making a call to the
driver which it cannot handle -- either because the call is
invalid/unreasonable or because the driver doesn't implement the
functionality requested. An ODBC trace will determine which of
the two is true. If the first, you need to contact the bridge
provider to get a fix. If the second -- the ODBC driver
provider.

JDBC-ODBC Bridge with iAS on Solaris

Is there any way to use the Sun JDBC-ODBC bridge with the iPlanet
Application Server running on UNIX (Solaris)? If it is possible, can
someone who has done it share the basic steps. For example, I cannot
figure out what parameters to enter when configuring the bridge as a
datasource and also how to pass certain environment variables (eg the
LD_LIBRARY_PATH which points to the ODBC driver manager).
It seems that on Windows iAS has ODBC as a Type 2 JDBC data source (at
least the manuals have screenshots with ODBC nodes). However I need to
have iAS running on Solaris (and connecting to a proprietary ODBC
driver; no JDBC driver is available for this data source).
I have iAS 6.0 SP3 with iWS 4.1 SP9 on Solaris 8.
TIA!
George
P.S. Apologies if this is a frequently asked question, but I could not
find archives of the iplanet.ias.* groups. I wish Google would carry
them...

Latest JDBC-ODBC-Bridge

HI,
we are using JDK1.2 and dont want to change. We are extensively using jdbc:odbc - but it seems it is not really stable. Where can I find the latest jdbc-odbc-Bridge as a separate package? Can it be used with jdk1.2?
Tino

I am not sure if this will fix my problem. But I am looking hard for a reason. What me made suspicious is the following: I just tried jdk1.2.2 and there the system crashed immediately. So I read in the bug-database and there I found a likely reason, which caused the bridge to crash. So I thought there might be a similar bug in 1.2.
Anyhow: how do I find out why the jvm is crashing? this might help me a lot.
I used jdbc-odbc in 1.1.4 with a 24x7 system with 200+
users, 3000+ reports a night and a 250 gigabyte
database growing at a rate of 400meg a day.
And I never traced a single problem to the jdbc-odbc
bridge.
How sure are you that a new driver will fix your
problem?

Java Web Analyzer security hole in SQL Query Spreadsheet using JDBC-ODBC bridge

Hi, I use Hyperion Analyzer 7.0.1 on Windows 2003 and relation database DB2 v8.2. I did: 1. log in to Java Web Analyzer 2. button New 3. Select Layout: Custom Report 4. from toolbar pull down to desktop "SQL Spreadsheet" option 5. "Enter SQL Query" window opens, from JDBC Driver drop down window select "JDBC-ODBC Bridge" 6. in "JDBC Connection String" window replace "db1" string with database name 7. leave JDBC Username and JDBC Password empty (this is default) 8. click on "Test Connection" button. 9. "Test Connection" window opens with message "Connection Succeded"!!! So connection to database without password succeeded. 10. in "SQL Query window" write any SQL you wish and Database will execute the SQL. Conclusion: Connecting Analyzer with SQL Spreadsheet option to relation database DB2 is possible without password. Question: Is there any way to prevent users from executing "SQL Spreedsheet" option? Thanks, Grofaty

try
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(dsn,"guest","guest");
OR DriverManager.getConnection(dsn);
System.out.println("Conection's opened");
catch(ClassNotFoundException cnfe)
System.err.println(cnfe);
catch(SQLException sqle)
System.err.println(sqle);
try that code and double check you DSN Name . it's a good practice to greate a system DSN.
i hope that helps.

What's the URL in a JDBC-ODBC bridge driver connection?

I'm trying to use a JDBC-ODBC bridge driver but I don't know what is the URL I need to put inside a the "getConnection (String URL, String userid, String passwd)" method.
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(URL, user, passwd);
Can anybody help me?

Yes Marc,
but maybe Edgar should know that he first has to add a ODBC datasource.
in WINNT
Goto System ODBC Datasources and try to connect to your DB.
If the test is working than you can use the name you have chosen
as URL
good luck

JDBC ODBC Bridge/Driver???

Hi,
Please can someone help me?
I'm a 4th year computer science student and have a final year project to do using databases. My problem is finding a JDBC:ODBC driver/bridge(what's the difference?).Every tutorial on the web says use the
sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver, that's all well and good but where do I get it?I've tried downloading JDBC API's but still no joy. When I do finally find a driver do I need to copy it to the folder where the rest of my project is,
(that's what I had to do for a mysql driver I had to use before). I want to use Microsoft Access with the project for portability and ease of alteration, do I need to set up an ODBC driver for my database as well as using the JDBC:ODBC bridge?
That probably came out like complete double dutch but I hope someone out there can make sense of it and help me.

Please can someone help me?Start with a tutorial http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/jdbc/index.html
Basic info on your particular problem:
JDBC defines an 'interface' that allows one to access databases. That usually consists of serveral parts: the database, the interface layer, the jdbc driver and jdbc itself.
JDBC comes with java. In addition a single jdbc driver, the 'jdbc-odbc bridge' driver comes with java. To use that particular driver you also need the 'interface layer' which for MS Acess will mostly already be available to you - basically the ODBC shell (not part of java) and the MS Access ODBC driver (also not part of java.)
Keep in mind that the jdbc-odbc bridge driver uses the ODBC that is already on the box. ODBC itself is not part of the driver.
You will probably need to configure ODBC for use as a 'DSN' (Data Source Name?). To do that you go to the control panel and use the ODBC (Data Sources) applet. Pick 'System DSN' (a panel in the dialog), push 'Add' and follow the prompts by picking a MS Access driver. You can either use 'create' or 'select' at the end to create or use an existing database.
If this seems like too much work then search the JDBC forum using "DSN-less" as the search string. The discussions there will tell you how to set up a connect string without creating a DSN.
If you have further questions on this particular subject it would be best to post them to the JDBC forum rather than here.

Problem using Jdbc-Odbc Bridge

Hi,
I am using Java 2 SDK and I am trying to access MS Access database on my machine using Jdbc-Odbc bridge. I have set up the DSN in ODBC. But I get the following error when I run my program -
'No Suitable Driver'

Class.forName ("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
String dsn = "jdbc:odbc:DriverInfoDB";
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(dsn,"","");
con.setAutoCommit(false);
Statement stmt;
String query = null; // SQL select string
ResultSet rs; // SQL query results
stmt = con.createStatement();
.....etc etc...
Where is the error in this code??
Help Needed!!
Thanks
Vivek.
