JDBC ODBC Drivers

Hi all,
I have created an application in Java and running in Linux OS. Now Iam interested to add database support to this application as I need to validate some of the fields. For this purpose I have choosen Microsoft SQL 2000 as the database. But Iam not able to get right JDBC-ODBC driver.
Can anybody provide me information about this. It is very important...
Thanks in advance...
Regards
Suneel

If you have browsed through the MS sites that I came across they seem to suggest that the JDBC-ODBC bridge for SQLServer 2k is only available to MS2000, MSXP and MSXP Prof, I have NT, so you and I are out of luck by the looks of it.

JDBC-ODBC Bridge Drivers and Microsoft Access

Are there any good tutorials on setting this up? Forgive me if there is one on this site - I couldn't find it. I just know (from some other sites) that it can be a pain to set up and get working right.

I mean installing and configuring JDBC-ODBC to be
able to connect to Access...I know about JDBC and
it's API. I just need to know how to configure
everything so that I can use the API.If you have a version of windows (at least back to 95) that doesn't have the MS Access ODBC driver and/or doesn't have the ODBC shell then something is wrong with your windows.

Does the JDBC-ODBC bridge require ODBC drivers?

Or to put it another way; can sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver connect to an MS Access database without Access beeing installed on the target computer?

I think the answer is; no (yes to the topic;)..
so, any alternatives?

How can i put a file into blob(using sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver)

Hi
i tried to put a file into blob , but got a problem.....
My environment:windows 2000pro,JBuilder 5.0 enterprise,oracle 8.1.6,(not install oracle jdbc driver )
a part of program(my program is very uglily,if anyone want,later i paste it ba....~_~)
//Statement stmt2=null;
//Resultset rs2;
//opa1 is the blob data
void saveBlobTableToDisk(Connection con) {
try {
stmt2=con.createStatement();
sqlStr2="SELECT * FROM emp3 where id=1004";
rs2=stmt2.executeQuery(sqlStr2);
while (rs2.next()) {
Blob aBlob=rs2.getBlob("opa1");
i got the exception :
" null
java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException
     at sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcResultSet.getBlob(JdbcOdbcResultSet.java:4174)
     at test3.Frame1.saveBlobTableToDisk(Frame1.java:48)

     at test3.Application1.<init>(Application1.java:5)
     at test3.Application1.main(Application1.java:8) "
and the windows pop up a messagebox said that(about) my memory "0x09af007f" could not read, error in javaw.exe .
Later i used (ResultSet)getBinaryStream() to solve it. but getBinaryStream() only return a InputStream,so that i can make blob to a file,but i can't make a file to blob using jdbc.....
I am very stupid that installing sun java, oracle jdbc driver etc....(because i must set a lot of thing such as classpath,java_home etc), Can i only use JBuilder to do that ?
Or i must install oracle jdbc driver ?
Thanks.

My guess here is that Sun's JDBC-ODBC bridge doesn't handle the BLOB datatype. Most ODBC drivers don't support that datatype, so I wouldn't expect the bridge to.
Is there a reason that you can't use the Oracle driver?

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 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!!

Problem with jdbc:odbc returning incorrect number of rows.

Hello,
Am sure i have done something stupid, but i have an issue with jdbc:odbc ....
It is a simple sceanrio that i have coded umpteen times before ...
I have the following ....
1. Connection to DB2 on an IBM i5 (I apologise for not using native drivers from jt400.jar, but i had an ODBC code example and was in a rush - no excuse i know)
2. Statement object created from connection above
3. A string with my SQL in it
4. A result set for the results.
These are created as follows:
Class.forName( "sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
con = DriverManager.getConnection(ODBCSource, userID, password);
if (con == null) {
// error handling not relevant here
} else {
Statement s = con.createStatement(ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE, ResultSet.CONCUR_UPDATABLE);
String SQL = "select * from table";
ResultSet rs = s.executeQuery(SQL);
i then try to loop ....
while (rs.next() )
// stuff
however, i only ever get one result .... if i stick in the check for isLast, the first loop hits this check, i get my little status message, and the loop ends.
while (rs.next() )
if (rs.isLast() )
System.out.println("I am on last record");
BUT if i run the SQL
"select count(*) from table" ... i get a count of 148 !!
I tried setting the FetchSize through setFetchSize(), but made no difference.
This is running on a JBoss server 4.2.1GA, JDK is "jdk1.6.0_02" .... i have a suspicion that this may be a JBoss specfic issue, as this exact code runs just fine on the Domino platform that it was originally on, if this is the case, i apologise for wasting everyones time .... but would still appreciate any pointers you can give me.
Cheers

Hello,
Thanks for the reply, I am not sure i follow what you are saying.
I only mentioned JBoss as it is the application server that we have deployed to and because the orignal code ran fine on a Domino server, I will take your advice and try to run it through in debug rather than running actually on the application server.
Am i incorrect in my assumption that if "select count(*) from table" gives a count of 148, i should expect 148 records in a result set created from "select * from table" ? This is all rather new to me so i apologise if this is incorrect, I'd love to know why this is incorrect so i dont make similar mistakes in future.
Also, If i run this same code on the previous platform, i get 148 iterations of the code contained within
while (rs.next() ) { ... }
When the war file is deployed to JBoss, the same SQL statement gives a result set that only iterates once for
while (rs.next() ) { ... }
The previous platform as I say was domino, but it was running as a lotus notes java agent (despite not using any notes documents etc) as it happened to be where the web pages that call this process were located. It is possible that some of the main code has changed as I had cut and paste the code into a servlet using MyEclipse, but i have double checked the bit that does this SQL request and it is identical
To complete the picture, the new servelt is then called from the action tag on the submit form on a JSP, when it ends the servlet redirects via the requestdispacher to success or failure jsp pages depending on the outcome of the processing.
Thank you again for your help.

64-bit ColdFusion 9 ODBC drivers confusion? (architecture mismatch)

Hi all - I'm having problems setting up ColdFusion ODBC sources in a pure 64-bit environment. Server specs:
Windows 2008 R2 (64-bit)
ColdFusion 9.01 (251028) Enterprise, 64-bit
I have 64-bit ODBC drivers for all of my database sources:
64-bit SQL Server (bundled with Windows 2008 R2)
64-bit MS Access 2010 (with 64-bit Access ODBC driver from Office 2010 64-bit install)
64-bit ODBC drivers for Sybase SQL Anywhere 11 (from SyBase)
Using the (64-bit) ODBC Administrator, I can create system DSNs and they test out perfectly. (From my test Access database, I can use these DSNs to pull data from SQL Server and from SQL Anywhere.) Since this is working, I'm pretty confident that my drivers are all 64-bit and that everything is happy.
Now for ColdFusion...
When I try to create a new data source in the ColdFusion Administrator and I use, the "ODBC Socket" option, I am presented with a drop-down list of my 64-bit ODBC system DSNs (good!), but whenever I select one and save, I invariably get an "architecture mismatch" error like below:
Connection verification failed for data source: MSSQLtestDatabase
java.sql.SQLException: [Macromedia][SequeLink JDBC Driver][ODBC Socket]internal error: The specified DSN contains an architecture mismatch between the Driver and Application
The root cause was that: java.sql.SQLException: [Macromedia][SequeLink JDBC Driver][ODBC Socket]internal error: The specified DSN contains an architecture mismatch between the Driver and Application
I am well aware that "architecture mismatch" errors mean that you're trying to mix 32-bit drivers with a 64-bit application (or vice-versa), but I'm pretty sure that everything in my environment is 64-bit.
As a further test, I created a few 32-bit ODBC system DSNs and the ColdFusion Administrator does not present them as options in the drop-down list of ODBC DSNs (good!). So, it seems like the Administrator is smart enough to show only the 64-bit DSNs, but whenever you try to connect to one, it gets confused and kicks up an "architecture mismatch" error.
So is there any obvious configuration error here? Is there a 32-bit subcomponent to ColdFusion (JDBC, etc.) that's confusing things? (I ran the ColdFusion_9_WWE_win64.exe setup downloaded from Adobe's site.) Is 64-bit ColdFusion ready for prime time? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Joe

OK, just did a little Googling for you about this, Josie (and others). There seem to be a few alternative solutions, each with pros and cons.
The easiest, though, may be to simply use the 32-bit (instead of default 64bit) ODBC control panel, and then again use the MS Access driver in the CF Admin (not the ODBC socket one) to point to that. This is discussed here:
http://www.cfexecute.com/post/access-dsns-in-64bit-coldfusion
There's also a little more that may help at the bottom of this:
http://www.zidsoft.com/x64.html
MS also covers the topic here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms712362%28VS.85%29.aspx
Other CF-specific solutions include:
- run CF instead in 32-bit mode (even on the 64-bit machine). See discussion at http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/thread.cfm/threadid:60467
- if you have 2 boxes available, you could run CF in 32-bit mode on one box (just for providing access to the 32-bit Access driver), then "proxy" the DSN setup from the 64-bit CF machine to access the DSN on the 32-bit machine (See http://www.coldfusionmuse.com/index.cfm/2009/4/7/MS.Access.Proxy)
- get an alternative jdbc driver for Access (HXTT), mentioned in the threads above
- did you happen to try the "microsoft access with Unicode" driver option in the CFAdmin? That is quite different from the one that is not "with Unicode", so worth a try if nothing else works for you.
Let us know if any of these suit you.
Also, I appreciate the annoyance of those who would think this should "just work" without workarounds. I think I have clarification there.
First, the CF9 System Requirements page is unclear on this. While its systems support matrix lists 32 and 64 but windows (among others), those don't list what DBs are supported on each. Instead, there's a database support matrix at the bottom, which does indicate that Access is supported, but it doesn't break it down per OS, let alone bit-level of each OS.
But I just found a clarificaiton in a devnet article (by an Adobe engineer) that does seem to put the nail in the coffin:
"Most of the functionality and features of ColdFusion run just fine on 64-bit platforms, however, certain features like ColdFusion COM interoperability, ColdFusion Delphi interoperability, and Microsoft Access database connectivity do not work on a ColdFusion 64-bit platform. A few other features, such as ColdFusion .NET integration services and database drivers currently run in 32-bit mode." (http://www.adobe.com/devnet/coldfusion/articles/64_bit_print.html)
I think most haven't noticed this or made much of it simply because Access has been eschewed by so many for so long.

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"?

Jdbc-odbc connectivity problem in[b] wsad5.1.2[/b]

while i Try to access the msaccess database using sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver,the server is giving the error class not found....sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver......
I have already rt.jar containing this class in my jre...
The same thing i tried in wsad5.0 and it is working abs fine....
If anyone has got a time to solve tis query plz help me out...
Its urgent......

well,i think nobody has interest in my question.I have asked two questions.
1)Can anybody tell me the compatibilities of JDBC-ODBC bridge versions,oracle and ODBC drivers?
2)And can u tell me how to connect to oracle through a pure Java JDBC drivers (type 4 drivers) on a standalone system?
But u advise me not to use JDBC-ODBC bridge without studying the other part.

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.

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.
