I know the code is ok,
i am running this on win2k with java 1.3 and java1.4.0_01 run time,
Any ideas would be very gratefully recieved.
Thanks in advance..
Sajid

actually i got this working by downloading the latest sdk for java
j2se 4.01.
So if anyone has a similar problem, thats what you should do!!!
I think there was a problem with the hotspot runtime environment before, but its all sorted now.

Jdbc-odbc java error using SQL adapter in o9iASWireless

I've used the SQL adapter in the previous releases of wireless without any problem. Most of the time I would use it for all the wireless PLSQL applications in the Oracle database and it works very OK.
I have also used it to connect with a SQLserver database to try out some queries. In this case I would use the standard JDBC/ODBC bridge driver from SUN.
In release 2.0 I can't connect with this SQL Server database anymore.
I've added a system DSN to the ODBC configuration of the Windows 2000 server. This will give access to a internal SQL server database via TCP. A password username is required.
When I try to add a SQLservice in the service designer using the SQL adapter I will use the following parameters:
JDBC connect string: JDBC:ODBC:<DSNNAME>
JDBC driver: sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver
un: <username>
pw: password>
Query (without ';'): select count(*) from <tablename>
Minimum number of Database connections in the pool 5
Maximum number of Database connections in the pool 100
Increment size for the connection pool 1
Idle Timeout (in minutes) 30
Now I get the following error:

I got the error 'java.lang.ClassCastException: sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcConnection' in my log and tried to find out the meaning of this error at java.sun.com. It's stil not clear what exactly causes the error but it looks like a data formatting error.
java.lang.ClassCastException
(Thrown to indicate that the code has attempted to cast an object to a subclass of which it is not an instance. For example, the following code generates a ClassCastException:
Object x = new Integer(0);
System.out.println((String)x); )
Is it just a data formatting problem or has it something to do with the JDBC/ODBC driver version of the JDK from the appliction server release 2.0.
I remember that I was always able to connect to the SQL server database with previous releases also with a count query. I've also used JDK 1.3.1 with o9iAS release 1.0.2.1.
Any suggestions for a solution?
Thanks in advance for your help.

JDBC ODBC MSAccess crash

Hello !
I have a very serious problem with an application which uses a multithreading access to a ms-access 2000 DB.
I am using the jdbc-odbc-driver from sun to read and write infomration into/ from the db in several threads. This works fine for about an hour or so and then without any kind of exception or other message the programm crahes! No stacktrace or something else ocurs. There isn't any kind of regularity in this behaviour like a certain number of accesses, a certain time period, etc.
Funny is, that this works fine for more than 36 hours using a MySQL-DB which then uses a native JDBC-Driver and no ODBC-JDBC-Driber !
Does anyone knows a solution or has some helpful other information for me ?
Many thanks
Andreas

Is there any reason you have to use access? I noticed that when I was using access if I opened and closed a number of connection objects it would cause my application to crash. I went with another database that had it's own native jdbc-driver.

How to append records in MSAccess through Java using JDBC:ODBC

Hello,
I was able to retrieve records from MSAccess database through JAVA over the JDBC-ODBC bridge.
If I want to append records to a table (for eg. photo1 table containing photono., length, breadth, area as
columns) I could not able to do so through JAVA.
I am using JTable with the above fields. The user is displayed with the JTable and he has to enter
data inside the JTable and press a button titled "Append". Then the JAVA program should append
whatever the user has entered in the JTable as a single record inside the MSAccess database.
Can anyone help me please?

hi i too am having similar problem. i am able to create a table in ms access through java but when i insert values i get a msg that it has inserted the values but when i check the table by opening ms-access there are no values in the table.
the insert statement i am using is
" insert into tk1 values(3,'tarun')"
further i tried using the methods commit, setAutoCommit etc with the connection object. -NO GO.
can you help me ?

Stored Procedure error with JDBC:ODBC

Hi,
I am trying to run a stored procedure on RDMS (Uniaccess ODBC). This has 2 input parameters and returns a resultset of 3 columns. The following is the error I am getting and am stumped. Please help..

Hi,
The error seems to occur on the line:
String i = rs.getString (1);
The error exactly states what is occuring: "Specified column is before the column specified in the previous call". Try limiting the call to getString() to one for each column for each row.
Try replacing these lines:
System.out.println( " get string " + rs.getString(1) );
System.out.println( " get string " + rs.getString(2) );
System.out.println( " get string " + rs.getString(3) );
String i = rs.getString (1);
String s = rs.getString (2);
String t = rs.getString (3);
with something like:
String i = rs.getString (1);
System.out.println( " get string " + i);
String s = rs.getString (2);
System.out.println( " get string " + s);
String t = rs.getString (3);
System.out.println( " get string " + t);
Hope this works,
Kurt.

JDBC/ODBC Error

Hello,
I'm testing the following code that contects to an Access Database
import java.sql.*;
public class AccessTest
public static void main(String[] args)
try {
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
String dataSourceName = "scan";
String dbURL = "jdbc:odbc:" + dataSourceName;
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(dbURL, "","");
Statement s = con.createStatement
ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_SENSITIVE,
ResultSet.CONCUR_UPDATABLE);
s.execute("select * from test");
ResultSet rs = s.getResultSet();
if (rs != null) // if rs == null, then there is no ResultSet to view
while ( rs.next() ) // this will step through our data row-by-row
/* the next line will get the first column in our current row's ResultSet
as a String ( getString( columnNumber) ) and output it to the screen */
// System.out.println(rs.getString("f_name")+"\t\t");
rs.updateString("l_name","Welcomer ");
rs.updateRow();
// System.out.println("Last Name: "+rs.getString(2));
System.out.println("Number: "+rs.getString(3));
System.out.println("Age: "+rs.getString(4));
//System.out.println("Date: "+rs.getDate(5));
//Date tmp = rs.getDate(5);
System.out.println();
s.close(); // close the Statement to let the database know we're done with it
con.close(); // close the Connection to let the database know we're done with it
catch (Exception err) {
System.out.println("ERROR: " + err);
the code that is commented out, was done so as I tried to debug this. What I'm trying to do is update the field l_name in a record. Yes I know using SQL update will do it, but I need to it this way for my application that I'm designing. The error I get is
java.sql.SQLException :[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Error in row.
the table in question only has 3 entries. The last name is updated for the first only, thus the error is coming up before the result set is moved by one. Please advise.
Thanks in advance

Instead of multi-posting, why don't you just post a link to your other one(s), like this:
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=31&thread=337252
Anyway, my guess is that maybe the MS Access driver doesn't allow updateable resultsets.

Jdbc-odbc error in an applet

I'm trying to use a jdbc-odbc driver to connect to a db. When I do this using an application I have not problems but I'm trying to do the same in an applet and I get this error message:

I hope you can tell me

copy this line in {jre}/lib/java.policy

}I set up an ODBC DSN myodbc3-test to connect to an Access database. It was no problem. I guess that doesn't explain why your post didn't work. I changed the name of the class and added that meta data output so I could make sure that it connected. - MOD

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.

URGENT: Error: Failed to Load JDBC/ODBC Driver

I have created a database in Access and created user interface for it. Whenever I run the program from DOS (i.e java CarRental) the program begins but when I try to add a customer or add a vehicle I get the error java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.ms.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver.
However, if I run it directly from MVisual J++ 6 it connects to the database fine. I have installed J2SDK 1_4 on my computer. Should I make changes to the following code?
String url = "jdbc:odbc:CarRental";
               try{
     Class.forName( "com.ms.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver" );
     connection = DriverManager.getConnection(url);
Since I downloaded J2SDK does it need to be "sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver"?
Please help- time is running thin!
Thanks
Angie

The correct classname for the JDBC:ODBC bridge is
sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver

Wierd behavior of jdbc:odbc using MSACCESS 2002

I'm using msaccess 2002, java version 1.4.0, Windows XP.
I configured ODBC driver for my database "MailDB" using "odbcad32".
I have no problem retrieving data from my database to my program, however I can't insert data to my database.
I've checked my SQL syntax, it works fine within Access.
Does anyone have an idea what could be the problem?
Code:
import java.sql.*;
public class AccessConnection
     public static void main(String[] args){
          try {
               //Connecting to database
               Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
               Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:MailDB");
               //Select Query - WORKS FINE!!!
               ResultSet rS = conn.createStatement().executeQuery("Select * from MAIL" );
               while (rS.next())
                    System.out.println(rS.getString("A"));
               rS.close();
               //Insert Query - DOESNT WORK!!!!!!!!!!
               conn.createStatement().executeUpdate("Insert Into MAIL (A,B,C) VALUES ('a','b','c') ;");
          catch (ClassNotFoundException e1){}
          catch (SQLException e){}

1. Remove the semi-colon.
2. Close the connection
3. Do something with the exceptions - don't just discard them.

Ms Access problems with Jdbc Odbc!!!

Hi again people,
Im creating a GUI swing project connecting a database (MsAccess) to a dialog using the bridge driver,
The GUI is coming up but im getting runtime errors and the data does not go to the fields, the dialog and connection are in two files:

Im really stuck!!! any suggestions? thanks in advance

Thank you for your response and sorry for the length
of code,
Thats was my first idea that it was asking for
or something I dont have but I checked my database and
I dont have any unusually large data entries (most
between 8-15 letters, the others are numbers) could it
be something wrong with how I've entered the database
in MsAccess, or am i barking up the wrong tree again!
Many thanks
RobI think you've misunderstood me. This has nothing to do with unusually large data entries, but rather the opposite. You are wrongly expecting data that is shorter than you think. When you call rs.getString(i) to retrieve a column value of a field, and you only want the first 5 characters in the column (instead of 10 or whatever the column size is), you would do something similar to the following:
String column_value = rs.getString(1).subtstring(0,5);The above expects a String that is at least 5 characters. Your problem is when your column value returned is less than the specified substring index ( in this case 5 ) it will throw an exception. If you changed your code to this, the error will not occur:
String column_value = rs.getString( 1 ).subtstring( 0, 5);
if ( column_value.length() > 5 )
column_value = column_value.substring( 0, 5 );
