Jdbc non-odbc-bridge for Access mdb database

I would like to have my Java program be able to use a MicroSoft Access-97 or Access-2000 mdb database. I don't want to use an odbc driver, but instead use a type-2 or 3 or 4 driver (preferrable type-4).
Does such a driver exist? This is for a freeware project, and I would prefer a free or very low cost driver.
I'm not sure I fully understand the differences between jdbc types. My impression is that an odbc-bridge driver requires that the end-user setup the odbc connection. I'd like to avoid that if possible.
My intent is to distribute the application with the MyApp.mdb database file, and have MyApp be able to use the database without user setup.
I suppose an alternative would be to programmatically create the odbc-bridge data source configuration. Is that possible from a java program, and, if so, how? I can do this with Visual C++, but not clear on how to do in Java

Searching the forums is always a good idea.
From one of the previous times I answered this.

could any help in this issue?
Thanks

Hi,
For accessing MDB database, you must have a jdbc:odbc driver, u can get it from sun site.
just put it into the lib folder of web server.
or
just follow the following link:

Concurrent users unable to open a shared Microsoft Access MDB database

I have a share on a Cisco NSS2000, the NSS is in Workgroup mode (Firmware 1.13).
Every user have read/write rights on this share.
When I try to open an access MDB database from this share it happens that only a single user at time can open the database.
The second user that try to open the database get a "Cannot lock file" error message.
So, when a user has the Access DB opened, no-one other can open (or connect to) the same DB.
It's impossible to open the DB using the access IDE ("Cannot lock file" error message).
It's impossible to make multiple connection to the DB using OleDB ("Cannot lock file" error message).
I've tried give full access to the mdb file.
I've tried give full access to the mdb folder.
I've even tried to give full access to the temporary LDB file.
I always get the same error message.
Is there a workaround?
Thanks, Max

I've finally been able to update the firmware to the latest 1.16.
Now everything works fine, problem solved! :)
Thanks,
Max

JDBC-ODBC-Bridge connection to SQL Database

Hi guys
I have a problem. I've made a little game which I want to put on my website. It has a highscore-list which I want to connect to my web host's database server to get the current list.
I tried this with JDBC and got it to work locally but when I uploaded it to my site it didn't work. I contacted my web host's technical support who told me that their server didn't have the JDBC driver and that I should use ODBC instead. I did lots of reading and found out about this JDBC-ODBC-Bridge. I have since been trying to implement this into my program but hasn't been successful.
In my original JDBC connection I used
private String url = "jdbc:mysql://" + host + "/" + mydatabase;
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection(url, username, password);Now I'm trying
private String url = "jdbc:odbc://" + host + "/" + database;
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection(url, username, password);But, at least when trying it locally, I get the error
java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name is too long.

JDBC-ODBC bridge for MSSQL database

Hi,
I have SAP 2 MSSQL synchronous scenario and I need to select data from MS SQL 2005 database located on the remote system via XI 3.0. The database provides only ODBC access. I am using JDBC receiver and I would like to use sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver as a driver. I searched this forum, but the most of threads describe, how to connect to MS Access database, which is not my case. I used XI JDBC/FTP connection Test and XML Validation Application described in SAP Note 1085539 to test it. I used the following settings:
Driver Class (fully qualified) sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver
JDBC URL jdbc:odbc:Driver://<host IP>;databaseName=<name>
User Name my username
Password my password
I got the following error:
Exception Occurred : [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified
Exception Stack Trace : java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified
 at sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbc.createSQLException(JdbcOdbc.java:6958)
 at sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbc.standardError(JdbcOdbc.java:7115)
My questions are: Is it possible to use sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver in this scenario? If so, what should I put as JDBC URL? Do I need to create DSN on the XI system? (it is a Windows NT based machine).
Thanks a lot for your answers.

Have you already deployed the drivers (msbase.jar, mssqlserver.jar, msutil.jar) ??
If so,
The JDBC drivers should be:
com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver
And the connection should be:
jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://hostname:1433;DatabaseName=name
else

JDBC ODBC bridge for MS Access - language/locale problems

Hi,
I have an application that uses a MS Access database.
I have a user in Turkey that is experiencing the following problem:
My Java app requests for example the following query:
select name from activitiesThen I get the following error:
java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver]
The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot find
the input table or query 'ACT�V�T�ES'.
Make sure it exists and that its name is spelled correctly.Apparantly the character 'i' is replaced by '�', how can I avoid this?

Hi,
I was looking for something in that direction.
When I start the db connection using charset="Turkish" i get the following error:
# An unexpected error has been detected by HotSpot Virtual Machine:
# EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc0000005) at pc=0x6d6cb0b2, pid=4480, tid=5000

# Problematic frame:

# An error report file with more information is saved as hs_err_pid4480.log
# If you would like to submit a bug report, please visit:
# http://java.sun.com/webapps/bugreport/crash.jsp
#Is this because my MS Access does not recognize the charset?
What should I use if I don't pas the 'Turkey' argument, just 'utf-8'?

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

I need some opinion here.
Thanks
Setya

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.

Which ojdbc14.jar JDBC driver to use for Oracle 10g database

When ODI is installed there seems to be an Oralce JDBC driver in place in the drivers folder (ojdbc14.jar).
When we connect to an Oracle datastore and point to a table and use the 'reverse' function to populate the columns - it sort of works OK but does not bring back the datatypes properly. This is found to be when the Oracle table has UNICODE character datatypes NCHAR and NVARCHAR. If a table has CHAR and VARCHAR it is all OK but any table that has UNICODE datatyoe has a problem.
Is this likely to be the JDBC driver ?
We have tried replacing this ojdbc14.jar with the older classes12 and this, as expected, did not resolve the issue.
We then tried replacing it with the latest 10.2.0.4 ojdbc14.jar but again no difference.
Does anyone have any experience with Oracle JDBC drivers and what release level to use - and using against UNICODE datatypes in tables ?
Regards

Our problem is that when we use 'reverse' to populate the columns from a physicla table in an Oracle database - ODI is obviously 'seeing' the ORacle table and is correctly understanding the columns in the table and defining them in it's model - but wherever there is a column with a datatype in the ORacle database of NCHAR or NVARCHAR it fails to populate the datatype or the 'length' of these columns. If I manually try to specify the datatype these 2 unicode data types do NOT exist in the pull down list of datatypes.
I see what you are asking - if these datatypes are actually defined as datatypes within the actual technology - I cant access my lab right now but will check as soon as I can. Thanks for the suggestion.

Possible to use a message bridge for access to message copies?

I'd like to be able to consume copies of messages that go across a queue so that they can be validated during testing.
I've been unable to find any mechanisms for authenticated message monitoring which exists in other JMS brokers such as TIBCO EMS and so I'm going down the route of seeing whether a message bridge could help me. My thinking is that I can bridge from QueueA onto TopicA - where the message stays on QueueA and a copy is sent to Topic A which can be safely consumed by the testing tool
First question - is this a workable solution, ie does the message sent to QueueA stay on QueueA until is is consumed normally, or is the message forwarded to the bridged TopicA thus removing the original message?
Second question - I've tried to get a bridge working but encounter an error when trying to use it. The monitoring tab shows the bridge is up OK but I get the exception below in the admin console
<11-Oct-2010 13:55:12 o'clock BST> <Warning> <MessagingBridge> <BEA-200026> <Bridge "Bridge-0" encountered some problems in one of its adapters or underlying systems. It stopped transferring messages and will try to reconnect to the adapters shortly. (The exception caught was javax.resource.ResourceException: Error sending message.)>
Any help and advice appreciated
Stuart

One approach is to use a topic; producers send to the topic and both of your application consumer and your auditing consumer consume from the topic. If you have multiple application consumers, you could have a bridge to forward the messages from the topic to a queue and your applications consumers can consume from the queue, while your auditing consumer consumes from the topic.
There is a message life cycle logging capability in WLS JMS, which may be helpful. It can be enabled on a per destination basis. It logs an event in a file when a message is produced, consumed, removed, expired and etc. However the message body is not available in the log. The details can be found at

ODBC driver for Cache (Intersystems) database?

Hi, I am using Indesign to create catalogue pages and am trying to use the plug-in 'easy catalogue' by 65bit software to manage the catalogue data. The product data is stored in a cache database, on a windows server. I have tried installing the driver supplied by intersystems (makers of cache) but with no joy. (Had to install it through the terminal!) Anyone know of a way to connect to the cache database using a third party ODBC driver?
Many thanks

Yep! :)

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:

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 in advance for your ideas and input & stay happy!

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!!

M$-Access non-odbc driver

Does anybody know of a good, non-odbc, driver for M$- access?
Thanks a lot for the help.

I doubt there is such a thing.
I would suppose that maybe ADO or OLE might provide an interface that doesn't go through ODBC, but I am not sure about that. And those solutions would require JNI.
