Is Sun's JDBC-ODBC Bridge on Access stable?

I need some opinion here.
Thanks

Thanks,
I plan to build enterprise app using EJB with Oracle or MSSQLServer as the back end. Since our table structure does not always satisfy the table structure required for reporting (which sometimes is very complex), we plan to pull the data from the EJB first and then put it in the MSAccess temporary tables in stand alone client app (which satisfy the structure required for reporting) and from here we present the reports to users.
Any suggestion regarding this plan would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Problems with sun's jdbc:odbc bridge under Tomcat 4.0

Translating the local spanish message, should be something like: "Can't find data source and no default driver defined."
I don't get this error if i access through the same driver but not on web server Tomcat 4.0.1. And I don't get this error even under Tomcat with other jdbc drivers (mysql for example).
Someone knows what is happening here?
I would apreciate some help.
Thank you.

If you're running on Windows, you need to create an ODBC datasource to connect to.
To accomplish this, you need to go to Start >>> Control Panel >> Administrative Tools >> Data Sources (ODBC),
2. On the User DSN tab, click add
3. give it a name, this is the name you will use in the connection string. jdbc:odbc:<name>
4.Click Select, then find your mdb file, or other database file.
5. click Ok.

Question re Sun's jdbc-odbc bridge

Hi,
Can anybody tell me whether this bridge (in the latest SE, 1.4.0) does things like updatable recordsets... i.e. jdbc 2.0 functionality? I keep getting an ArrayOutOfBounds exceptoin...
Thanks,
Mike

ArrayOutOfBounds exceptoin... Which suggests that either there is a bug in the driver or in the way you are using it. And that will have nothing to do with whether it supports a particular feature or not.

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 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.

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:
file /usr/j2se/jre/lib/amd64/libJdbcO
dbc.so: symbol SQLAllocEnv: referenced symbol not found
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
Vipin

JDBC-ODBC Bridge Performance To MS Access

Hey all, I'm running a Java app that extracts an entire table (set of tables) from Oracle and copies them into Access. The easiest implementation has been to use a DSN-less Type 1 JDBC-ODBC bridge connection to Access, but unfortunately the inserts are taking too long.
I have tried both Statement and PreparedStatement approaches, with both single row and batch updates. Some of the performance times, relative to the computer I am on (PIII 1 gHz with 256 RAM), are as follows:
Via Batch, about 8min, 15 seconds per 10,000 rows.
Via Single Row updates/inserts, about 52 minutes for 45,000 rows.
I've tried alot of varieties with batch, but 10,000 seemed to be the best. The largest table is only 45,000 rows (right now), but has the potential to grow much larger (obviously). This application needs to backup 4 databases, each with N tables (current N=7, but will expand). I'm trying to knock down the times and increase performance, but am not sure what is "reasonable" for Type 1 connections with JDBC. I've seen third party drivers, Type 3, for Access...but don't want to run the middle tier server for filtering request through. I'd rather use Type 4, but can't seem to find any for Access.
Any suggestions? Recommendations? Let me know! Thanks all! :)

Hi,
If its a backup/batch process why are you worrying about performance, its only an offline process :) even if has to be triggered during an OLTP run this task asynchronously.
I dont know why you have chosen java to do this ??? any way prepared statements with non scrollable resultsets will increase you performance better tha scrollable normal statements.

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.

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 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!!

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'
Here's my code snippet-
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.

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.

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"?

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 (General error)

I get some time "SQLException : general error" on the screen followed by a "[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][TCP/IP Sockets]General network error. Check your network documentation" when i am using the jdbc-odbc bridge on a jsp page
My configuration:
OS : WIN NT 4.0
TOMCAT 4.0
JSP
Database : SQL server 2000
Database driver: Sun JDBC-ODBC bridge
Could it come from a concurrent access problem?
Does anyone have an idea?
Thank you,
Deenesh

I've found that the descriptive "General Error" message ususally means there's something wrong with my sql. If your db passes Navin's test (meaning it's up and running), then try to take your sql query and paste it into a sql window for your db. Sometimes this gets you an error message that is a little more descriptive.

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

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.

Is Sun's JDBC-ODBC Bridge on Access stable?
