JDBC-ODBC Bridge and Lotus Notes

Greetings
Got this message in the Event Viewer when testing my ODBC
connection to a Lotus Notes DB:
Description:
The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( ColdFusion 8
ODBC Server ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the
necessary registry information or message DLL files to display
messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the
/AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support
for details. The following information is part of the event:
ColdFusion 8 ODBC
Server@LOCALHOST,ErrorCode=3004,ErrorMessage=sched.swschd.1424.Internal
error, an unexpected exception was detected..
The Notes DB is on another server. I have installed NotesSQL
and created an ODBC data source in Windows. I created the data
source in CF admin pointing to the Windows ODBC. When I tested the
connection I got the message above. I can connect to the Notes DB
using the Notes Client installed on the server with Coldfusion.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

It's not a CLASSPATH problem.
Did you create an ODBC DSN named test?
You have two choices:
(1) Create an ODBC DSN named test, OR
(2) Rewrite your database URL as:
String url = "jdbc:odbc:DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=c:\\foo\\bar\\baz.mdb";
Make the DBQ equal to the path to your Access database and it'll work.
I prefer the second idiom, because it doesn't require setting up a DSN. - MOD
Yes, I have created a DSN with the name 'test'.
The second option "jdbc:odbc:DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=c:\\foo\\bar\\baz.mdb" -> is the part 'baz.mdb' the name of the my database. So it will be: "jdbc:odbc:DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=c:\\foo\\bar\\test.mdb";
But what is the biggest different between those two? What is the advantage and the disadvantage?

JDBC/ODBC Bridge and getArray()

I'm trying to use the getArray() method and I get the following:
java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException
I'm using the sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver
Is there any other (free) bridge that allows you to use JDBC 2.0's getArray() method?
Thanks,
Michael

I would look for a driver for the particular DBMS that you are using. Take a look here http://industry.java.sun.com/products/jdbc/drivers and here http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/Ken_North/jdbcvend.htm

JDBC-ODBC Bridge does not support Unicode UTF-16

Hi
I'm using Jdeveloper 10.0.3 IDE in order to develop an application for data transformation between MS Access 2003 (source) and Oracle 10g (destination). Clients use Windows XP.
JDBC-ODBC Bridge still does not support Unicode UTF-16 which is the Charest used by MS Access 2000/2003.
Note that when I changed locale in regional setting, destination Connection to Ora10g failed to open a connection, it works only with English locale, so I can't change my locale information.
How can I read Unicode from source DB?
Any help would be appreciated. I look forward to see your response.
Thanks,

i also heared that JDBC-ODBC Bridge still does not support Unicode UTF-16,
but i guess this is not in my case.That's the key in fact. JDBC-ODBC Bridge does not support UTF-16, which is the charset used by MS Access 2000/2003.
or do i need to use a third party driver for jdbc odbc bridge?Free library at http://jackcess.sourceforge.net/

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 without DSN

I have a MS Access database which I want to connect to dynamicly using JDBC-ODBC bridge and without having to create a new record for the database in the DSN.
Usually the code looks like this
// Load the JDBC-ODBC bridge driver
Class.forName ("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
// ODBC data source name
String dsn = "jdbc:odbc:AccessTest";
String user = "admin";
String password = "";
con = DriverManager.getConnection(dsn, user, password);
...But since the position or name of the database is always changing I would like have it something like this
String pathToDatabase = "c:\temp\database.mdb";
// Load the JDBC-ODBC bridge driver
Class.forName ("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
// ODBC data source name
String dsn = "jdbc:odbc:" + pathToDatabase;
String user = "admin";
String password = "";
con = DriverManager.getConnection(dsn, user, password);
...I hope you know where I'm going with this and if you know the answer to.
Thx

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!

    stmt.close();
    // Close the connection
    con.close();
}

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!!

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

Applets and JDBC-ODBC Bridge

I have the following error when i try to run my program(I have used JFrame instead of JApplet ) :
[Microsoft] [ODBC Driver Manager] Invalid cursor state
I'm using VJ# and i read on oreilly's site that JDBC-ODBC bridge doesn't work with it, so how should i resolve the problem?
could somebody suggest a better and easy-to-use Type 1 driver(which is free)

Closing the statements defeats the purpose of prepared statements with my design. The whole point is to load them at startup and reuse them.
Another driver is an option however where does one get one and are they free?
I have implemented a temporary solution that I found in the archives. I have used a while statement to make sure that I have got to the end of the result set, however a nested if only looks for the first result. I am only retrieving one row from the database so only need the first. Logic says to me that rs.next() must have to evaluate to false. It is a bit messy but it works . . . so far.

Oracle RDB Driver fails with JDBC/ODBC Bridge

Has anyone experienced problems using the latest Oracle RDB
Driver (3.0.2.0) with the JDBC/ODBC Bridge.
We have been using the Oracle ODBC Driver for RDB (2.10.17)
successfully on NT, but it is not supported on W2K. The new
drivers work fine for Access etc., but fail with the bridge.
Specifically, you can step thru a result set, but getObject()
returns null for all fields.
Any suggestions?

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.

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"?

Null Pointer Exception using JDBC-ODBC bridge on Linux

Wonder if anyone can help me with this one?
I am attempting to use the JDBC-ODBC bridge on Fedora with J2SDK 1.4.2_04, however I am getting a NullPointerException whenever I get the connection. I can get the JDBC connection to work but it is a requirement that ODBC be used.
The code is as simple as it can get.
import java.sql.*;
public class TestClass
   public static void doConnection()
      try
           Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");

      catch (Exception e)
           e.printStackTrace();

The UnsatisfiedLinkError suggests to me that a library cannot be found, but I don't know what library.
As far as I know I have configured ODBC correctly. I can achieve connectivity to my database using other tools and I still get this same error irrespective of whether the DSN is valid or not.
I have installed the unixODBC rpm.
Any help/insite would be greatly appreciated.

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).

SQL Developer 2.1.1 : JDBC/ODBC Bridge

Hi, I am running SQL Developer 2.1.1 and would like to to access databases other than those formally supported.
I am happy to use the JDBC/ODBC Bridge - although additional JDBC connectivity would be ideal, I gather that it is not supported.
Googling, and searching on this forum, implies that I should install the appropriate JDBC driver for the Bridge, list it on the third party JDBC drivers Preferences page, and that a 'Create Connection' dialog JDBC tab would then appear on restarting SQL Developer, as happens when you install the supported MySQL JDBC driver, for example.
I am sorry to be dim, but I cannot track down a jar file containing the JDBC/ODBC Bridge that is supported by SQL Developer to the extent of enabling the JDBC tab. The rt.jar shipped in SQL Developer's JRE does not do the job. Checking for updates from the Help menu lists nothing that looks even remotely relevant. Where should I be looking?
Thanks a lot
Mandy Shaw
Edited by: 845622 on Mar 18, 2011 10:59 AM - Clarified - sorry

The additional connection types only appear for supported databases.
I haven't tried this, but I vaguely remember some discussions from a long time ago.
Make sure the jar file (and any supporting DLLs) are on your classpath (probably dropping them in the extensions directory will do it) and then in the new connection dialog select 'Advanced' connection type. This lets you enter a JDBC URL in any format so you can enter what is required for your additional databases.
If this works, the most it will get you is a SQL Worksheet with no completion insight or syntax checking. Because SQL Developer doesn't know how to use the database catalogue, the object navigator won't work.

MS SQL Server 7 thru JDBC:ODBC bridge

Hi,
I am trying to access MS SQL server 7 thru JDBC ODBC bridge. I am finding my varchar data is being truncated to 255 characters. Any help on this would be appreciated.

Any body know of a good type 4 jdbc driver for SQL
Server 7. There is one for SQL server 2000
downloadable from micrsoft site, but does it work for
sql server 7 too ?Older betas of this driver suported SQL Server 7, but I believe the plan is to specifically remove that capability in its final release.
My biased opinion would be to try the driver from DataDirect. http://www.ddtek.com Its their driver (an older version) that Microsoft has licensed for MS SQl 2000.
Getting it from DataDirect has a couple obvious advantages:
1. Its a later, more stable, better performing version
2. It will continue to Support MS SQL 7
3. It's suported by 24/7 phone,email and web tech support.
4. And, early this week, you should be able to get the latest 3.0 release which promises to be even more robust, in addition to conforming to the new specs.
5. its not free, but then again- you get what you pay for...
