Microsoft access database

Hello All,
How can i talk to a microsoft access database from java without being on a windows machine?
Thanks

You don't want to.
MSAccess is not running as a server on the win machine: the machine might not be up all the time....
Anyway you would need to have the right url / system dsn in the jdbcodbc driver. I do not know if the driver supports the javax.sql.DataSource ....
So there is enough against you right from the start.
Can you upsize your MSAccess to MSSQL on a win server ? (or any other DB on a server with the right driver from your target?... could be MYSQL)
Enjoy

How do I open a pdf stored in a Microsoft Access database using Visual Basic studios 2012

Currently I am unable to find a valid method of being able to open a pdf stored in a Microsoft Access database using Visual Basic studios 2012. I've tried displaying the entire database on a form, but when I do this all the other columns show up with
the correct data besides the one containing the pdf's, it just displays <binary data> in each row down the column. I also tried another method with which you use the database as a dataset and can drag and drop the rows and columns into the form, which
again works for all the other columns besides the one containing the pdf's but this time I'm unable to interact with the column at all.
Not too sure if this is in the correct place, but any answers or help would be appreciated. Cheers.

Alex,
This forum is dedicated to Project and Project Server. You might get better response, if you post to a Visual Basic forum. Here are couple I could find.

The Microsoft Access database engine cannot open or write to the file in Report Builder 3.0

I am trying to build a report in Report Builder 3.0. I created the Data Source to point to my Excel file and the Data Set. I drag a couple of fields on to the canvas and then choose Run. I get the error: "The Microsoft Access
database engine cannot open or write to the file. It is already opened exclusively by another user". I am using the Excel driver. Why am I getting this message? How can I fix this?

No, now I am getting the error message again. It is quite long:
ERROR [HY000] [Microsoft][ODBC Excel Driver] The Microsoft Access database engine cannot open or write to the file '(unknown)'. It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view and write its data.

Is it possible to Install the 64-bit Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 if we are running Microsoft Office 2010 32-bit?

So we are running Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010, Version 14.0.7015.1000
(32-bit)
This is what is installed via our Network and Network licensing.
I am trying, in vain, to read and write a .xlsx file via a C# Edit Script in a SSIS Package. And I have tried using...
string StringConnection = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=" + sourceFile + ";Extended Properties=\"Excel 12.0;HDR=Yes;IMEX=1\"";
And this tells me that this has not been installed. So when I go and try and get the Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 64-bit, which would allow me to use Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0 and allow me to read, write, and process this .xlsx file, it tells me
I cannot install it because I already have 32-bit installed and it wants me to un-install Microsoft Office 2010. Why? Because it is 32-bit? And I can't do that because this is what we have and what we're licensed for and from what I've read seems to be the
industry standard because most software vendors are ill equipped to process 64-bit right now.
So my question is this...How can I use a C# Edit Script to read and process a .xlsx file? Because if I try using...
string StringConnection = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" + sourceFile + ";Extended Properties=\"Excel 8.0;HDR=Yes;IMEX=1\"";
It then tells me that the file is not in that format.
Please excuse me for asking this question in a couple of different ways out here but I cannot for the life of me seem to be able to get an answer as to how I can process a .xlsx file with a C# script and which driver to use that will make this work.
Thanks for your review and am hopeful for a reply.

Hi ITBobby85,
If the excel version in the Connection Manager is Microsoft Excel 2010 (.xlsx), we should use Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB provider.
We can't install 32bit and 64bit parts of office on the same machine. We will get an error as you said when we run the installer to install the 64bit version of the Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable in the machine where a 32bit version
of Microsoft Office installed. To fix this issue, please download and install the 32bit version of the Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable with the link below:

The Microsoft Access database engine cannot open or write to the file \\fileserver\db\access.mdb

Hi,
I have Windows Server 2012 with SQL 2012 Standard SP1. I am using linked server, and Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable to access my database file made in Microsoft Access (.mdb) from network file server.
EXEC master.dbo.sp_addlinkedserver @server = N'MyLinkedServer', @srvproduct=N'MyLinkedServer', @provider=N'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0', @datasrc=N'\\myfileserver.mydomain.com\files\mydatabase.mdb'
My SQL service is running with domain service account MYDOMAIN\SQL1$ , i have added Full control for file share and NTFS permission on my file server folder (C:\Files).
When I open (as domain admin with UAC elevated permissions) on my DB server SQL Management studio, I can browse tables and everything works.
The problem is, if I open SQL management studio (as domain admin with UAC elevated permissions) on my File server or any other computer, when trying to browse my linked server i got error:

I am confused becouse it works from SQL server but from any SQL client domain member computer/server it does not work.
I have same problem in another environment where I have Windows Server 2008 R2 and SQL 2008 R2 SP2.
Please help.

NTFS must be fine since it works from same server using same accounts.
As I understand, adding my access file to Access trusted location could be a problem. I have tried now to add my access database file location to trusted locations for user which is my SQL service user (Windows Service - AD managed service account MYDOMAIN\SQL1$)
and my test user which I use to connect to sql server as a client from sql management studio. (Account is Domain Admins and have full permissions on SQL server also)
I have added this .reg:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Access\Security]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Access\Security\Trusted Documents]
"LastPurgeTime"=dword:01592874
"DisablePromptOpenNetworkTrustedDocuments"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Access\Security\Trusted Locations]
"AllowNetworkLocations"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Access\Security\Trusted Locations\Location0]
"Description"="My file server"
"AllowSubFolders"=dword:00000001
"Path"="\\\\myfileserver.mydomain.com\\files\\"
I have done this for SQL service account user and my personal test account as I said. I have tried to logoff and restart sql service and all servers also.
The same problem still persists.
Anyway, thank you for giving me a hint.

maybe there is something wrong with the sizes or something....
please help me here!!!
thank you!

Yes it is an sql question
Consider this as my condition need to fetch records collected in database on 16-4-2012
Table name =TEST_REPORT
i have passed the following query
Select Serial_Number,System_Date,System_Time,Department,Operator_Name,Serial_Number,Test_Case,Pass_Fail from TEST_REPORT where System_Date = 4-16-2012, it displays the entire record from database. i have my vi along with this mail.

I think the SQL statement should be
strSQL = "SELECT * FROM MaterialLotJobJoint WHERE JobID=" & _
tempvars!JobID & " AND MatLotID=" & tempvars!MatLotID
This assumes thatJobID and MatLotID are number fields.

Java visit microsoft access database question

I want to visit microsoft access database,like follows:
String dirverClass="sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver"; String url="jdbc:odbc:Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ=C:\\apache-tomcat-5.5.27\\webapps\\Test\\db.mdb"; String content=""; try{ Class.forName(dirverClass); Connection conn=DriverManager.getConnection(url); Statement stmt = conn.createStatement(); String sql="select * from mytab"; ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(sql); while(rs.next()){ content=rs.getString("zd1"); }
My question is whether I must install microsoft access database?
Thanks

Far as I know and have been able to determine a MS Access ODBC driver comes with every windows install going back to about windows 98. Might be 95 as well.
I haven't looked at some of the more exotic ones like the 64 bit versions nor the mobile versions.

Microsoft Access database randomly locks itself??!

Hi there
Our Access database is doing something weird. Every so often
(I think when we've had a busy day in terms of traffic) a .ldb file
randomly appears in the directory where our database file resides.
Whilst this .ldb file is in existance the CF application can't read
(or write) to the database and thus eventually CF times out and
returns an error (or the user's browser gives up and displays a 404
error).
Sometimes this .ldb file dissapears of it's own accord after
a second or so, but at other times it doesn't go away again and we
have to restart the server.
- not ideal!
does anyone know why this occurs?
I've heard that running a deliberatly bad query (ie selecting
from a non-existant table) can 'clear' this .ldb file - in fact we
went as so far as to run such a query every 10 mintues as a
scheduled task as a preventative measure - and although it 'feels'
like this may have helped, we do still get these random .ldb files
appearing every now and then and thus we have to restart the server
our site is getting busier (450,000 page impressions last
month) so maybe we need to migrate to a new database (mySQL
perhaps?)
however we don't want to go through all the pain of migrating
to another database (is that hard to do?) only to find that wasn't
the cause of our problem.
any input would be very gratefully received.
thank you very much.

On 11/8 SafariTECH responded: "Access should never be used
for a production site - it is a desktop database, not a server
database." It IS a "desktop" database and NOT a "server" database,
but that doesn't disqualify it from being used for a production
site.
At our company we have extensive (multiple-year) experience
with Access on the back-end, and if you take the time to understand
its limitations and account for them in your code, it can be used
successfully. When we choose between Access or SQL Server on the
back-end, it is based on expected traffic, ease of maintenance,
footprint, and so on. In most cases we DO end up using SQL Server,
but there are circumstances where Access -- even as a "desktop"
database -- has proved a better choice.
In a recent system we built, access to the web server and
ColdFusion had to be extremely limited upon system deployment. No
VPN, no modem, and a special arrangement with a third party to gain
physical access. To minimize the system footprint while designing
for completely-hands-off, 24x7 operation, we needed a pair of
servers with shadowing and automatic failover if the primary system
died. If we had chosen SQL Server, it would have required its own
server box, and we would have had to double these up as well. This
costs more money and adds yet more complexity.
Given what we knew would be the traffic through the
dedicated, private site with a handful of users at any one time, we
decided that a server-class DB was unnecessary, and in any case,
would force us to add hardware that itself could be a source of
system failure. This was the deciding point in favor of Access.
All aspects of the system that directly relate to Access have
been running successfully, except the issue reported initially by
happysailingguide. We experienced the same issue, which appears to
be a ColdFusion-induced error, and not something inherent to Access
or the fact that it's a desktop database. (Based on what evidence?
We use Access in many automated telephone applications which are
written in Perl instead of ColdFusion, and this problem has NEVER
been seen in the 5+ years of production usage.) In our case it
appears there are NO requests queued to Access at the time of the
lockup, and the lock can last forever unless we take programmatic
intervention.
As anybody who has built and deployed many production sites
knows, you must simply accept the fact that no hardware or software
is error-free (yours or anybody else's). The described Access
lockup is just one of these errors (and is probably pretty low on
Adobe's list of things to fix). With a different DB there wouldn't
be the same problem, but there would be another to take its place,
perhaps increased system failures because of the increased
complexity of the system, or the downside of greatly increased
costs when replicating the system.
When I was trying to decide on the Access vs SQL Server
question a couple years ago, I read the forums and web discussions
about how Access should never be used for a production site. There
were many scary statements about Access that nearly prevented me
from using it. But at the advice of a colleague who has used Access
for several years in a telephony app with 100 or more simultaneous
callers, I stared a little more at the timestamps on the
statements, and found they were from a long time ago (in
computer-years). Microsoft has made MANY improvements to Access
over time. For anybody facing the same decision, you will find it
worthwhile to consider Access if cost, complexity, and footprint
are important factors.

How to link dataTable component with Microsoft Access Database?

plus set up the ODBC connection via click start , click run and then copy and paste the following "odbcad32.exe" without the quotes, click ok, click user DSN tab, click Add...button select Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb) click finish, give <db name> name of ur access database, give any description <whatever> or leave blank click the select... button navigate to the access database u want to connect to in your java code and select it.
in calling program
public class CustomersImplimentation {
private static java.sql.Connection connection = null;
private java.sql.ResultSet rs = null;
public CustomersImplimentation(){
connection = MyDataSource.getInstance().getConnection();
public Customers[] findAll(){
java.util.ArrayList list = new java.util.ArrayList();
String sql = "SELECT * FROM CUSTOMERS";
try{
java.sql.Statement stmt = connection.createStatement();
rs = stmt.executeQuery(sql);
while(rs.next()){
list.add(new Customers(rs.getInt(1), rs.getString(2), rs.getString(3)));
}catch(java.sql.SQLException sqle) {
System.out.println((new StringBuilder()).append(
"SQLException :: executeQuery Cannot find all Customers:").append(sqle).toString());
Customers[] customers = new Customers[list.size()];
for(int i = 0; i < list.size(); i++){
customers[i] = (Customers)list.get(i);
return customers;
if you have a Customers class created with set and get methods and a constructor that takes an int string string i.e.
public Customers(int ID, String firstName, String lastName){}
then u should be able to run these classes from within creator with an access database. hope this helps?

Working with InDesign and Microsoft Access Databases

I was wondering if there’s anyway to synchronize Adobe InDesign with Microsoft Access in a way that when changes are made to the INDD file they would automatically be updated in the database. Does Anyone have any ideas on this? Is there a third party plugin that would accomplish this or would I need to export xml out of InDesign?

InCopy would be indeed the best solution for you. InCopy is the little brother of InDesign, But both need to be in the same version to work together flawless.
InCopy is much cheaper and simpler than InDesign as it is missing layout capacity, but both of you need to understand both applications.
Generally, if 2 persons are working on the same document they should have the same versions between 2 InDesigns or between InDesign and InCopy, any workflow where IDML is needed should be avoided.
Why are there so many corrections in your present workflow? If you make your Word Document correct and set it up with styles without any manual format overrides, no hyphenation, no several continuous returns it should reduce the number of corrections on the first place.

Microsoft Access Database can't be accessed at times

Just wondering if anyone else is having troubles with running a Microsoft Access 2003 running on OES 11 SP1?
Not sure what is causing it but everyone once and a while our database is only accessible to one person at a time. We can run weeks at time without issues. Once I restore back from backup its fine.
Probably not a Novell issues but thought I would check. We also are running Windows XP and Windows 7 machines.
Sincerely,

OPLOCK_SUPPORT_LEVEL 0
Ive also added: CROSS_PROTOCOL_LOCKS 1
The above is not effective immediately I'm not sure what services need to be restarted, or reboot server!
That will sort out oplocks on your NSS volumes. Then you still need to set the properties of the Novell Client not to do client side caching.
Let us know how it goes so that we can all learn.

So far so good. Thanks for all the help.
