JDBC is the Acronym of Java Database Connectivity - Yes / No?

Hi,
JDBC is the Acronym of Java Database Connectivity - Yes / No?
I am little bit confused. I got this question in an Inteview.
I support yes. But some of the compitiors say no.
What will the real answer?

Really? Even Sun contradicts themselves here:
(2002) http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/jdbc/
and (more importantly) here:
http://java.sun.com/docs/glossary.html#JDBC
although here:
(2001) http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/jdbc/getstart/intro.html
I think it is simply silly for the latter to state that "JDBC is the trademarked name and is not an acronym" -- Oh really? JDBC doesn't stand for anything? It is all caps just because it is a trademark then? hmmm.
I'm certain the real answer of what it stands for may have been lost long ago. However, I doubt that the interviewer meant the question to be a trick and was looking for "Java DataBase Connectivity"
For every instance that you find that it doesn't stand for anything, I can show you 2 instances (from Sun or an employee) where they use "Java Database Connectivity (JDBC)".
P.S. Ryan Craig may be the final authority on this...

You don't need a DSN if you use Oracle's JDBC driver.

Java database connection method class for review

Can you guys tell me any specific coding standard has to be followed here(i guess i need not hard code the pwd's)
import java.sql.*;
public class DBLocator {
     * Obtains and returns a connection to database
     * @return database connection

     Connection con = null;

}

Can you guys tell me any specific coding standard has
to be followed here(i guess i need not hard code the
pwd's)More than just the passwords. Why are the driver class and URL hard-coded?
I wouldn't use this class. It's not very useful as written. It's a poor abstraction for one. There's lots of other useful things that you could include, like methods for closing and rolling back a connection, closing a statement and result set. You don't log any exceptions or messages. You preclude the use of a connection pool managed by an Java EE app server.

Querying the MIB for estabilished database connectivity

Hi
Fairly new to the MIB and its internal workings.
Can someone explain or provide an exampe ud script to determine database connections that are currently running.
Configuration currently has the followin database connections:- Oracle 10g, DSM, Supra(IBM) and IDMSX(ICL)
Take it the above should not make any difference.
Need to understand what TA_CLASS, TA_OPERATION etc I need to query?
Regards Sam

Sam,
The current state of the connection between a Tuxedo server and its
asssociated resource manager is not part of the information offered by
tmadmin or by the Tuxedo MIB, so the best way to obtain this information is
by querying the database for active connections in its own specific way.
Another way to obtain this information is to implement a simple service that
makes one database call and to invoke this service to see if the database
connection is active.
It is also possible to perform a GET operation on the T_ULOG TM_MIB class
and search for specific userlog messages that your application has seen when
there is a database connection failure.

Java Database Connections couldn't be closed on PI 7.1 EHP1

Hi, I develop a dynamic web project to PI. And I use Database conection in that web project. Even I closed the connection in java , Connection doesn't closed and after a while PI pooling size reach the maximum size and PI doesn't response. I find open connections on MSSQL and connections' status are sleeping, cmd fields are AWAITING COMMAND. I have to restart PI these to close that connections.
I get Connections like these code
                        InitialContext cxt = new InitialContext();
               final DataSourceManager dsm = (DataSourceManager) cxt
                         .lookup("dbpool");
                        String lookUpName = dsm.getSystemDataSourceDescriptor().getDataSourceName();
               DataSource ds = (DataSource) cxt.lookup("jdbc/" + lookUpName);
               ds.setLoginTimeout(60);
               conn = ds.getConnection();...
and I close connections like these
                        conn = db.getDefaultDatabaseConnection();
               if (conn != null) {
                    try {
                         conn.setAutoCommit(true);
                         String sql = "INSERT INTO
                         pstmt.close();
                         conn.close();
                    } catch (Exception e) {
                                 } finally {
                         try {
                              pstmt.close();
                              conn.close();
                         } catch (SQLException e2) {
                              e.printStackTrace();
                         e.printStackTrace();
I changed system DataSource's   and i give these parameters
Initial Connections: 5
Maximum Connections: 125
Maximum Time to Wait for Connection: 90
Connection Lifetime (Sec.): 60
Cleanup Interval (Sec.) : 90
it didn't work either
Can anyone hepl me ?

I would like to make slight changes in code. . Please close the resources only in finally block.
Dont know you are closing resultset or not. If not, you must close it
conn = db.getDefaultDatabaseConnection();
try {
if (conn != null) {
conn.setAutoCommit(true);
String sql = "INSERT INTO
} catch (Exception e) {
} finally {
    try{
       if(rs != null){
        rs.close()
     }catch(SqlException se){
        //log it
   try{
       if(stmt != null){
            stmt.close();
     }catch(SqlException se){
        //log it
try{
   if(conn != null){
     conn.close();
} catch(SQLException ss){
// log it
} // end of finally
Hope this help.

Java Database Connectivity: No suitable driver

Hello,
for school I have to make a program that reads from a database and puts the data in an XML file.
I'm using Corel Paradox 10 for the database. I've configured the ODBC driver correctly as far as I can tell, but when I start the program it keeps saying:
SQL Exception:
SQL state: 08001
message: no suitable driver
vendor: 0
The following is the way I configured the driver in corel's BDE administrator:
type Microsoft Paradox Driver (*.db)
ODBC DSN ParadoxDump
There's more settings, but I doubt that that can have anything to do with it, it's mostly numbers and the username.
Now with the datasources (ODBC) in the windows configuration I have; with both the file-, system-, and the user-DSN the driver from Microsoft for Paradox, all named ParadoxDump, the file being in the directory where the tables are located, the complete filename is ParadoxDump.dsn.
This the section of my code that deals with the connection:
public class DumpUtility
     public static void main(String args[])
          try
               Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:ParadoxDump");
               Statement statement = connection.createStatement();
Does anyone have any idea why Java can't find the driver, or why the driver is not suitable? If so, does anyone know a away to solve my problem? Whether that be code, reconfiguring the drivers or where I can find a suitable driver and how to configue it if my solution really can't work?

Looks to me like you forgot to load the driver class. You need to load the driver explicitly, usually using Class.forName("driver.class.here") - that causes the class to register itself with the DriverManager. Then when you call getConnection it uses the URL string (in this case, "jdbc:odbc:ParadoxDump") to search through all the loaded drivers looking for one that recognizes that URL. That's how it knows which driver to use. With no driver loaded, the DriverManager class can't match that URL to a registered driver and that's what it's telling you.

Java database connectivity

Hi
Iam new to jdbc I have to connect java with my sql, could any one please guide me that fom where I can install mysql driver and which one and how to install it and what code needed to include in java programm, i have erade manual but being confused because seen differnt code at differnt places, plz help me.
thanks

Hi...
1) First install MySql
2) Obtain MySql JDBC Driver --> (http://www.mysql.com/get/Downloads/Connector-J/mysql-connector-java-3.0.9-stable.zip/from/pick)
3) Add downloaded driver to your Java Proyect library (../lib).
4) Make Connection
example:
Data base url: "jdbc:mysql://ANY_HOST/DB_NAME?user=dbUserName&password=dbPassword"
Load Driver: "org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver"
then connect method can be:
     private void doConnect()throws Exception{
          // db url
          String dbUrl= "jdbc:mysql://localhost/test?user=admin&password=admin";
          try{
               // load MySql driver
               Class.forName("org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver").newInstance();
               // request one connection
               this.connection =DriverManager.getConnection(dbUrl);
          }catch (Exception e) {
               // do something
          return;
enjoy ! ;-)

Question about java dataBase connectivity

Hello,
How could I get the name of a column from a table in dataBase ?
In my code i have :
ResultSet rss = selectTempo.executeQuery("SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID() AS LAST");
if(rss.next()){
firstColumn= rss.getInt("LAST");
How could i get the name of LAST in my table ?

You can probably use the ResultSetMetaData class:
In you example it might go something like:
ResultSet rss = selectTempo.executeQuery("SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID() AS LAST");
ResultSetMetaData meta = rss.getMetaData();From there you can use the different methods that are available in the class. In you case, I think getColumnLabel() should do the trick.

Thank you for the replies
The problem got solved. Problem was older version of Oracle driver was placed in WEB-INF/lib and a directory called lbrary(we created it) above WEB-INF, we were placed newer version of driver in oracle's jdbc/lib directory and specified that path in classpath. But by default the older version was prioritized and used by application so we were getting the exception mentioned. When we deleted older version of driver everything got working. This explation may help for those who have similar type of problems.
Thanks

AIR application and database connectivity (using JAVA)

Hi
I am creating AIR application and I want to connect with the database using java database connectivity (JDBC).
Can any body give me the some suggestion on how to how to do that.
Please give me any reference for creating AIR application for database connectivity with mysql/access.
Thanks
Sameer

lots of serching on the google and found that For AIR applications either you use Webservices(JAVA/PHP/.Net) or you can use SQLLite.
Not found any method for direct connectivity with the database using JDBC.
If any one found direct connecivity withe database using JAVA then please reply.
Thanks

Name of the database connection

When I create a new datasource in JSC and then deploy my application, I find that the JSC creates a database connection called, in my case:
jdbc/decsis_RaveGenerated_1088606994
Why the RaveGenerated plus the number? I would just want it to be called jdbc/decsis. Can this be changed so it remains the same always without that extra characters? Thank you.
Franklin Angulo

No. That is not how it is working... An example: I took my .war application to another company, then installed an application server with a the following database connections:
Connection Pool: DecsaPool
Resource: jdbc/decsis
When I run my application, it gives me the error that it doesn't find the jdbc/decsis_RaveGenerated10906100xxxx. So I go to my Application Server and under Resources create a new one with the same name as it asks me in the error and make it refer to the DecsaPool Connection Pool. And then my application works fine.
I found that I could modify the sun-web.xml after my application builds to change that name to just jdbc/decsis. But when I clean my project that information would disappear and then when I build again I would have to modify the sun-web.xml again. So is there a way to modify this so it never gives me the RaveGenerated part at all? Thank you.

Database Connection Error: Cannot obtain error message from the server

I have a SQL statement that wants to add a temp table to the database.   The SQL statement works fine but when I try to add it via 'Add Command' feature in Crystal XI R2, I get the following error message:
Database Connection Error: Cannot obtain error message from the server
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Zack H.

Hi Raghavendra,
I am using this in the 'Add Command' feature but I get the error message displayed in the subject line:
CREATE TABLE #TibetanYaks(
YakID char(4),
YakName char(20) )
INSERT INTO #TibetanYaks (YakID, YakName)
SELECT LastName, FirstName
FROM      Employee
WHERE      EmployeeID between '2000' and '3000'
I haven't tried to add this as a stored procedure but I imagine it will work as I have no problems yet with stored procedures. I simply want to be able to use temporary tables for the sole purpose of that session and not creating anything static in the database.
By the way, even though I get the error message, when I look on the backend database, I see that the temporary table was successfully created...its just not brought across correctly in Crystal.
Any ideas?
Zack H.

The Database Connection could not be found

Hi guys,
we did a complete new installation of EPM 11.1.2.1 for a testing environment.
Did the installation 1-1 to our production system.
But on TEST we have the problem to create database connections:
Tools > Database Connection Manager > New Database Connection > Fails:
8001: The Database Connection could not be found: -15da10bd_1378bcfb29f_-7d2c
Any ideas?
I am Admin and have all privileges.
The problem exists for Essbase connections and HFM, too.
Regards,
Bernd

Are you using a NAS share for storing reporting and analysis files? I mean the RM1 folder?

Installation problem with NW'04 SR1: database connection failed

Hi all,
while installing NW '04 SR1 on Windows Server 2003 SP1 and MS SQL Server 2000 SP4 I ran into an error related to the database connection. While performing the step "Load Java Database content" SAPinst crashes with the message
com.sap.sql.log.OpenSQLException: Could not load class com.ddtek.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver.
The connection to the SLQ Server with e.g. the Query Analyzer is OK. I had a problem with this installation setup before (have a look at the corresponding <a href="https://forums.sdn.sap.com/thread.jspa?threadID=338638&tstart=0">thread</a> ), the JDBC drivers where missing on the installation master but after copying them in the right direction the installation went on with no problem up to this point...
Has anybody an idea what could have happened here? Is this maybe a problem connected to the one I recently had
Below I attached the sapinst.log and jload.log with more detailed messages.

Hello Kairat,
Please follow the below mentioned guide to install it.
Check all the parameters to set and run pre requisite checker before starting installation.
Keep in mind that before starting any SAP installation you should always run prerequisite checker.
