Microsoft Access Driver

What is a good free driver for using Java to access Microsoft Access?

What is a good free driver for using Java to access Microsoft Access?On windows, and only windows, you use the the jdbc-odbc bridge. It comes with the Sun VM. That is probably limited to the Sun VM although apparently some other VMs also have it.
On something besides windows or if you don't want to use the bridge then there is no free solution.

[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Syntax error

Please advise. I got frustrated with such a silly question. Anybody can help me to resolve it.

INSERT INTO TRANSLOG ( userid, booktitle, date, amount ) VALUES (?,?,?,?)I don't have Access on my computer at home here, but it is quite possible that "date" is a reserved word in Access's version of SQL. If you can change the column name, I'd recommend you do that. Otherwise try changing your SQL code to this:
INSERT INTO TRANSLOG ( userid, booktitle, [date], amount ) VALUES (?,?,?,?)
But be warned that this [trick] doesn't work with other databases.

[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Syntax error in UPDATE statement.

Hi,
I am getting following error message ,

Any idea why?

change it to this

here pass your username and password...
In Oracle default user name and password is
username = scott
password = tigerSo who uses that? Only an eejit would leave that account open.
So the statement would be
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:bspipdb","scott","tiger");
or In Mirosoft Access there is no user name and password so the statement will be Like I said - unnecessary, and not the reason the OP is having problems.
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:bspipdb","","");>
Besides this change your table name 11-Aug-08 to anything that is not start with number or any special symbols.
for example aug112008 is good or aug is too good.No, it's still not good if you understand ANYTHING about relational databases and normalization.
I think it would work.I think you're just as stup!d as the OP.

hi there
did u configure ur ODBC setting if no then try these steps
================== ODBC Settings ========================
step 1 : go to control panel
step 2 : ODBC Data Sources
step 3 : click UserDSN Tab
step 4 : click ADD Button , Select Microsoft Access Driver , Finish
step 5 : Give Datasource Name as "DATABASE_NAMEXXX" , no double quotes
step 6 : use Select and select Database_NAME.mdb from <INSTALL DIRECTORY>\DATABASE_NAME.mdb
click ok , ok finish
<INSTALL DIRECTORY> is where yr database is
=========================================================
then in yr program
URL for yr database
"jdbc:odbc:DATABASE_NAMEXXX" // as name in step 5
and Driver is
"sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver"
if u done all these steps then check yr spelling of table and tabel field in yr program

[ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Syntax error (missing operator)

Aello' - as you can see in my database table their are two
records to delete based on the HISTORY_ID of 1. This was working
just fine when I was using a MS SQL Server database but when I
switched to the MS Access database I get this error now.
Is their a syntax difference?

ODBC Microsoft Access Driver Error

Help! I'm a novice. I have PSE3.0 installed on my laptop (HP Pavillion) which has the Windows XP operating system. It has been working ok for a couple of years and is now causing problems. I was able to import scaned items and photos from files on my hard drive. A couple of days ago, when I tried to do that, I received the following message "[Microsoft [ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] cannot open database]. It may not be a datbase that your application recognizes or the file may be corrupt." I was also not able to import photos directly from my camera chip. Is this an Adobe problem or a MS problem? Any suggestions as to how to fix? Thanks. Hank

Hello Barb,
Thanks for your suggestion. Unfortunately that didn't work. When I clicked on "recover" it appeared to go to 66% and then the computer froze up. I had to do a "hard" shutdown.
I've done a defrag which the system told me was not necessary. That didn't help. I have approx 50% of free space on my hard drive. So I don't think space is an issue.
For the past few months both the HP photo package and Adobe have been opening when I download photos from my camera. Is it possible that the two programs are somehow interferring with each other. On my last download, the photos wouldn't download to PSE3 and i received the ODBC error message. The photos did download to the HP program.
I also tried to reinstall the PSE3 program but I received a message that said I currently have a more recent version of Adobe (I suspect that is a reference to the Adobe Reader program) and terminated the installation.
I'm open to any suggestions. Thanks Hank

Help with [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver]Error in row

hi all,
it seems i have the same problem updating a field in access database here is what my access table has:
a field called userID of type String in Access 2000 on XP.
i wrote the following code in java using Eclipse 3.1.1 ( latest) to update that field:
String database= "jdbc:odbc:Driver={Microsoft Access Driver(*.mdb)};DBQ=";
String url= database + filename.trim() + ";DriverID=22;READONLY=true}";
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
Connection con= DriverManager.getConnection( url,"","");
con.setAutoCommit(false);
Statement stmt = con.createStatement(ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE,ResultSet.CONCUR_UPDATABLE);
stmt.executeQuery("SELECT Users.* FROM Users");
ResultSet rs = stmt.getResultSet();
rs.moveToInsertRow();
rs.updateInt(1,"test");
rs.updateRow();
con.commit();
rs.close();
stmt.close()
con.close();
i get this error :[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Invalid cursor state
if i use the same code with using re.next(); before rs.moveToInsertRow(); i get [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver]Error in row
i get the errors right at : rs.updateRow();
i dont know what exactly the problem is. why doesnt it get updated and complain about it.
plz help

I'm not sure which JDBC driver you are using.
An access database, by default, has a username and
password as "admin" and "" (ie, empty password).
Actually MS Access has two methods for security. You
are referring to one of them.
If the password of admin is changed, you have to
provide the name of the workgroup information file
also( where it is stored) for making a connection.
I am not sure about the ODBC bridge driver. What iam
using is Atinav's aveConnet JDBC driver. It has
provision for giving username and passwords through
Workgroup information file. In addition to it youcan
give the database password also.
Interesting to note. The bridge for MS Access does
not use that security method. And it will fail if you
set up security using the groups/users adminstration.
The only method it allows is via the "database
password" method.Thank you for your response, but what User ID should I use when I use database password?
openConnection(URL,"xxxx","database password")
thanks again

URGENT :: java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver]

i am trying to execute the following query using jdbc
String state = "select * from cs_test where Start_Time < DateAdd(\"s\",-19800,now()) AND End_Time >
DateAdd(\"s\",-19800,now())";
/java.sql.PreparedStatement querycs_test = c.prepareStatement(state);
java.sql.Statement querycs_test= c.createStatement();
java.sql.ResultSet rs = querycs_test.executeQuery(state);
when i run the same query at the prompt in MS Access it works fine.
The same line replaced with a simpler query works fine.
but when i run the above i get an error
java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Too few parameters. Expected 1.

Here's the value of your query before preparing it:
select * from cs_test where Start_Time < DateAdd("s",-19800,now()) AND End_Time > DateAdd("s",-19800,now())My SQL refererence doesn't have anything about functions called DateAdd or now. It might be Microsoft specific, in which case when your organization converts to another database your query is going to stop working. Don't use vender specific extensions.
Was your intention to call a Java method called DateAdd or now? Then your problem is a few missing quotes. Otherwise, I'm sorry I can't be of more help.

Java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver]

Hello. I'm trying to do an INSERT into an MS Access 2002 database, and this is throwing:
java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] '' is not a valid name. Make sure that it does not include invalid characters or punctuation and that it is not too long.
The INSERT is pretty straight forward:
INSERT INTO Nodes (ID, Name, IP, DateAdded) values ("m22", "Colt,Frankfurt,GR", "213.61.48.52", "2003-02-06")
ID is a TEXT field of length 3 and it is the key (table is currently empty)
Name is a TEXT field of length 50.
IP is a TEXT field of length 16.
DateAdded is TEXT field of length 10.
I tried putting dummy data into the table and doing a SELECT, and that worked without a problem.
Can anyone tell me what is or might be causing this? Thanks in advance!!!
- john ferguson, kansas city

Okay, I fixed this.
The fix was to change the double quotes (") to single quotes (') inside the VALUES part of the statement.
So it went from:
INSERT INTO Nodes (ID, Name, IP, DateAdded) values ("m22", "Colt,Frankfurt,GR", "213.61.48.52", "2003-02-06")
to:
INSERT INTO Nodes (ID, Name, IP, DateAdded) values ('m22', 'Colt,Frankfurt,GR', '213.61.48.52', '2003-02-06')
and now it works fine.

Java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver]Optional fe

Could it be that the driver is not installed for that?

Java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Too few...

Can someone please help me? I get the error java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Too few parameters. Expected 1.
The offending section of code is:
int resultsTableID = 0;
query = "SELECT results_table_01 FROM dbo_results_table_01 WHERE image_1_id = '" + file1ID + "' AND image_2_id = '" + file2ID + "'";
System.out.println(query);
rs = s.executeQuery(query);
The select statement comes out:
SELECT results_table_01 FROM dbo_results_table_01 WHERE image_1_id = '115' AND image_2_id = '116'
There does not seem to be a problem with the parameter separations, so if anyone can spot what I have done wrong I would appreciate it.
Thanks

I have just tried what you advised: Not using single quotes, and I got the same error.
The query now looks like:
query = "SELECT results_table_01 FROM dbo_results_table_01 WHERE image_1_id = " + file1ID + " AND image_2_id = " + file2ID;
Thanks for your help, but it did not work.

Java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Invalid ar

Hi, I'm getting an error in the eManager server log when running a load test:
Error executing prepared statement: sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcPreparedStatement@189ff39
java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Invalid argument.
I found this on the MS site concerning the 2GB size limitation for MDB files:
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=835416
The RSWReport.mdb file is more than 2GB in size, so I'm assuming that this file is causing the problem.
Is there anyway to purge this file? Will compacting the file or splitting the file as MS recommends fix the problem?
James

You can always just create a new mdb file and run with that. I typically create a new MDB for each project I work on, or build of an app.
The windows ODBC controls will let you create a blank MDB file.
1. Start - Settings - Control Panel - Administrative Tools - Data Cources (ODBC)
2. Chose the reporter ODBC - click configure - create. I tend to name by date and project, etc.
3. In e-Load, chose Manage - Databases - New. In that window, chose 'Create e-Load tables in the database, give it a name, enter the DSN name, chose 'set as current e-Load database' and click ok.
You should be good to go with a clean MDB file. If I missed a step or the instructions aren't clear let me know.
SQL will give you better performance, but if its not an option managing the MDB files will help.
