Linking Java to Access Database tables

Hello,
I need use JCreator to link Java to Access Database tables.
Could any one tell me what kind of drivers I need use?
Also, where could I find the examples of linking Java to Access Database tables?
Thank you,
Daniel

Thanks.
I have read the tutorial and downloaded the sample code from the web http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/jdbc/
In the CreateCoffee.java programming, I made the following changes:
     //     String url = "jdbc:mySubprotocol:myDataSource";
          String url = "jdbc:odbc:DB1";
DB1 is an Access Database file located in the same folder as CreateCoffee.java.
//Class.forName("myDriver.ClassName");
               Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
Every time when I run the CreateCoffee.java programming, it shows the following running error:
SQLException:[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager]
Data source name not found and no default driver specified.
Could any one have any suggestions for solving the above problem?
Thank you,
Daniel

Join multi access database tables

Anybody knows how to join multi Access database tables
by using LAbview SQL tool kit? It seems Labview SQL does not support "JOIN" feature.
Thanks

But I still dont know how to join multiple tables.
I've tried:
SELECT pd.NAME, pp.PART_ID, pp.MATERIAL, pt.NAME
FROM PRODUCT pd INNER JOIN LOOKUP_PRODUCTPART pp
   ON pd.PRODUCT_ID=pp.PRODUCT_ID INNER JOIN PART pt
   ON pp.PART_ID=pt.PART_ID
But it doesn't work.
Hm.. the following (joinig two tables) works. It's shows that INNER JOIN works in LabVIEW:
SELECT pd.NAME, pp.PART_ID, pp.MATERIAL, pt.NAME
FROM PRODUCT pd INNER JOIN LOOKUP_PRODUCTPART pp
   ON pd.PRODUCT_ID=pp.PRODUCT_ID

Unable to update or insert into Access database table using OleDB, and it doesn't return any errors.

I'm new to VS. I have run the following code. It does not produce any error, and it does not add or update data to my Access database table.
dbUpdate("UPDATE prgSettings SET varValue='test' WHERE varSetting='test'")
Function dbUpdate(ByVal _SQLupdate As String) As String
        Dim OleConn As New OleDbConnection(My.Settings.DatabaseConnectionString.ToString)
        Dim oleComm As OleDbCommand
        Dim returnValue As Object
        Dim sqlstring As String = _SQLupdate.ToString
        Try
            OleConn.Open()
            MsgBox(OleConn.State.ToString)
            oleComm = New OleDbCommand(sqlstring, OleConn)
            returnValue = oleComm.ExecuteNonQuery()
        Catch ex As Exception
            ' Error occurred while trying to execute reader
            ' send error message to console (change below line to customize error handling)
            Console.WriteLine(ex.Message)
            Return 0
        End Try
        MsgBox(returnValue)
        Return returnValue
End Function
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks.

You code looks pretty good, at a quick glance. Maybe you can simplify things a bit.
For Insert, please see these samples.
http://www.java2s.com/Code/CSharp/Database-ADO.net/Insert.htm
For Update, please see these samples.
http://www.java2s.com/Code/CSharp/Database-ADO.net/Update.htm
Knowledge is the only thing that I can give you, and still retain, and we are both better off for it.
Best to keep samples here to VB.NET

Linking to an Access Database (accdb) - calculated field in query

Using Crystal Report v 14 we have a problem linking to an Access 2010 database (accdb file format).
We created a query in the Access database with a calculated field that we want to use to link with Great Pllains database. We can see the query using the database expert and the OLEDB (ADO) data source. The problem is that the calculated field in the Access query does not show in the link manager.
What is the best wat to link an Access table that has a job number containing hyphens (111-222-333) with the other database that has the job number stored without hyphens (111222333)? Why does our query solution not work?

Hi,
I'm not sure if this can be handled at the Database query level, however this can surely be handled from the report level.
You would need to insert a subreport with Great Pllains as its datasource. The Main report's data source would be the access table.
Next, in the Main report you would need to create a formula to remove the hyphens from the string and convert it back to number. Use this formula:
tonumber(replace(,"-",""));
You can then palce this formula in the details section/group section (which ever is applicable) and then link the subreports's job number field with this formula field. A record selection formula is automatically added in the subreport when you do so.
Also, make sure the sub-report is place in the same section this formula field is placed in, otherwise you can get unexpected results.
Hope this helps!

How to automate creation of MS Access databases/tables/records

Can someone point me to some examples that automate the creation of MSAccess database files and tables?
Can I do this with a bat file? If not, a ps1 file?
I bing searched and could not find an example.
I want to test the existence of a mdb (or accdb) file and if it does not exist, create it.
Then I want to see if that mdb (or accdb) file contains a table named "parts".
If it does not contain that table named "parts", create the table.
If that table does not contain any records, than add some sample data, presumably with some SQL "INSERT" statements.
What is the preferred API for this? I was thinking we should use the ADO.NET/OleDB API. I did find a few examples of queries of MSAccess databases with the old ADO API.
ADOX seems very old for creating databases. Is there any thing more modern?
Is powershell the easiest scripting language to do this?
Thanks

Java and Access database

Hello,
I have an application with an access database. The access database (the access file) is in the same directory as all java files in c:\programs\eclipse\workspace\javaBooks.
The connection method looks as follows:
public boolean getConnection(String url,String user, String passw)
try
     Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
     con = DriverManager.getConnection(url,user,passw);
DatabaseMetaData dbmd = con.getMetaData();
     System.out.println("Connected to " + dbmd.getURL());
     System.out.println("Version " + dbmd.getDriverVersion());
     System.out.println("DBMS: " + dbmd.getDatabaseProductName());
     return true;
     //System.out.println("AutoCommit: " + con.getAutoCommit());
     //rs=dbmd.getTables(null,"%","%",null); // Driver is not capable!
     catch (java.sql.SQLException e)
          System.err.println("Can't connect to database");
          System.err.println(e.getMessage());
          return false;
     catch (ClassNotFoundException e)
          System.err.println("Can't connect to database");
          System.err.println(e.getMessage());
          return false;
At the beginning when I start the application a form is displayed where I have to indicate an url and a password.
Does anybody know how I have to configure the corresponding things to use the database with the application?

You access (ahem) Access through the JdbcOdbcDriver,
which comes with Java.Not bad, not bad.

How to store the data captured from oscilloscope into the MS Access database table

Hi All,
In my application, I tried to save the data captured from SCOPE, but could store only 200 bytes. I've taken the Memo data type for the field in database. I want to store all data ( 4 channels) in one field & retrieve back and display on the XY Graph.
Thanks in advance.

Both articles explains how to use the jdbc-odbc bridge. I think I've seen a pure jdbc driver for access but it wasn't from Microsoft and it wasn't free.

Java bean to database table

some tutorials show how to create Entities from database tables, so I want to know how to create database tables from java bean(just like hibernate).thanks.

I have the same problem, I am using mysql as the database. I think the reason this happens is because on the second screen of 'Create java Objects from Tables' the schema defaults to '(Default user)' and that is the only selection available. On the 4 screen you will notice that the table name has a '.' in front of it and I think that is because the wizard probably did not find a schema name.
Looks like a Jdeveloper bug to me. Can someone from JDeveloper team confirm it?
I am using Jdeveloper EA1.

Java and Access databases

Hi I have a problem that I have been working on for a couple days now. It is on inserting, deleting and updating a database table. I wrote a small simple java program to insert a record into the table called Table1. I have my ODBC set up with the name tester1. I have another program that queries the same database table and it works fine. but I can't get this program to work. The code that I am using is from a textbook, the program compiles fine but when I run it it gives me an error -> SQL Error: java.sql.SQLException: General error 0 S1000
I have 7 columns in the database table. The first two are numbers and the rest are text. The first colmns is the primary key.
Can anyone see what is the problem?
Here is the code:
import java.sql.*;
public class databasetest1b {
     public static void main(String[] arguments) {
          String data = "jdbc:odbc:tester1";
     try {
          Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
          Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(
               data, "", "");
          PreparedStatement st = conn.prepareStatement(
          "INSERT INTO Table1 VALUES(?,?,?,?,?,?,?)");
               st.setString(1,"1");
               st.setString(2,"12345");
               st.setString(3,"ethan");
               st.setString(4,"pats");
               st.setString(5,"kid");
               st.setString(6,"single");
               st.setString(7,"rich");
               st.executeUpdate();
               conn.close();
     } catch (SQLException s) {
               System.out.println("SQL Error: " + s.toString() + " "
                    + s.getErrorCode() + " " + s.getSQLState());
     } catch (Exception e) {
               System.out.println(" Error: " + e.toString()
                    + e.getMessage());
All I would like to be able to do is add a record into the table. Then I can figure out how to change fields and update them.

Greetings,
Have you tried sending the first two using
setInt(1, 1);
setInt(2, 12345)
since they are numbers?
Don't know how picky your database is but it might not like the paranthesis format or might actually require a SQL int datatype.
Hope that helps,

Deleting a MS Access database table record using JOptionPane

hi!
just want some help here..
is there a way to delete a MS Access database record through using JOptionPane?? i've gone through some, probably alot of examples on SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE statements but none came up to the stuff i need.
so far i've seen the DELETE statement like this and also this is a common DELETE statement..
statement.executeUpdate("DELETE FROM tableName WHERE fieldName01 = 'blablabla' AND fieldName02 = 'etcetcetc'");like INSERT, there's a coding somewhat like this:
String asd = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "Enter blablabla stuff");
statement.executeUpdate("INSERT INTO whatEverTableName (tableFieldName) VALUES('"+asd.getText()+"')");so, is it possible using the same method for DELETE??
help and advices are appreciated in advanced..

Here's how I did it. Research does help, but sometimes looking at others code does too... You do have to have a dummy file that you made with access though. You can't just make a file file.mdb (it will be corrupt)
     public void createDatabase(String database) throws SQLException{
          try{
               // This file needs to have been created with MS Access
               File dbfile = new File(this.dataBaseDir + "dummy.mdb");
               // This is the new database file being made
               File newFile = new File(this.dataBaseDir + database + ".mdb");
               // Copy all bytes from dummy file to new DB file.
               FileInputStream instream = new FileInputStream(dbfile);
               FileOutputStream ostream = new FileOutputStream(newFile);
               int numBytes = instream.available();
               byte inBytes[] = new byte[numBytes];
               instream.read(inBytes, 0, numBytes);
               ostream.write(inBytes, 0, numBytes);
          catch(FileNotFoundException e) { e.printStackTrace();}
          catch(IOException e) { e.printStackTrace();}
          if(DEBUG) System.out.println("creating the " + database + " database");
     }

Need information on accessing database tables in small incremental chunks

I've been building up a database of information for sometime now. I want to start moving some of the information from the database into other formats.
The table is quite large and I want to use cached row sets with it rather than hold the connection to the database. So I want to learn what the best way would be to grab, for instance, the first 50 items in a cached row set, once they're complete, move onto the next 50 and so on.
However I am fairly new at using Java to interact with databases. I'm not sure what the best way to go about this would be or if I'm even going down the right path by using cached row sets.
Could anyone recommend some decent sites for achieving this or even good web sites for general database manipulation with Java?

Could anyone recommend some decent sites for achieving this or even good web sites for general database manipulation with Java?I am working on a data mining project and I have been dealing with storing large data sets in to a data model, and then arrange those data sets in different formats. If you can live without the cached row set, I would recommend define methods of ResultsSet type and use that to retrieve data from the database and store it in csv file. In my data mining project I was dealing with 3.5+million large data set, chomp them into different chunks of data sets.
Since you have mention that you want to import these data into other formats, I would recommend this option since CSV files can be used in any kind of software applications with out minimum effort.
I am currently hosting the project on Google Code so let me know if you like to take a look at it.
Good Luck,

Dates, java, and Access Databases

I have my Access DB set up with three date fields, all of them are date/time and short dates. In my interface (done with NetBeans) I have the three text fields. I need to be able to have formatted entry, and then when I want to save to the Access DB I need to save the appropriate information. Up to this point, the only problem I have is with the formatted entry.
However, when I try to save with a field that has no date entered, I get a data type mismatch error. I don't want to store zeroes in the fields, I just want to store the dates properly, and if no date, then have the field in the DB blank.
Any suggestions or help?

don't want to store zeroes in the fields, I just want
