Ms Access And JDBC

I am using Ms Access as back end. Now Ms Access has various database (mdb files). I want the user to select any of mdb and my task would be to connect it to it. In JdbcOdbcDriver I have to specify dsn which is mapped to specific database. Is there any way out.
Please Help....
Thanx in adv

I am using Ms Access as back end. Now Ms Access has
various database (mdb files). I want the user to
select any of mdb and my task would be to connect it
to it. To do this the user box must have a mapped drive to the location of the MS Access files. Is that going to be the case?

Username and password with Access and JDBC application

Hello all,
I have written an application which accesses a MS Access database. I have created a dialog which asks the user for a username and password. I then include the username and password to connect to the database. I have created groups and users in the Access database and have given each user different privaleges. However, when I run my application, any user can get any privelage. I am missing something. Thanks in advance.

Access and JDBC not giving correct results

I am running a Query on an access DB
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM TABLE1 WHERE [First Name] LIKE '*Jamie*'
is the SQL query that should be executed. I get 0 errors or warnings but I get a result back as 0
res.next(); int max = res.getInt(1);
The max is always returned as 0.
When I do the SAME SQL query but
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM TABLE1 WHERE [First Name] = 'Jamie'
and with the above code, I get results
I am confused... please help!

why should you? sql doesn't read minds. it's an error only in your understanding. you passed a perfectly reasonable string the first time.

IDoc to JDBC and JDBC to IDoc Scenario

Dear All,
I am working on IDoc to JDBC and JDBC to IDoc Scenario.
I have to send Idoc from SAP to Non SAP system(.NET application) i almost configured in XI but still i don't know when my INTEGRATION will INVOKE how my data will proceed from IDOC to Oracle database(Through JDBC) and in case of revese how and when Data flow will start.
Does anyone have completed STEP by STEP scenario document for this?
How my Idoc will sent to XI?
How XI will pick up data from IDoc?
How XI will Convert data to JDBC and UPDATE in Oracle Database?
And i reverse case(JDBC to IDoc) when my INTEGRATION will INVOKE?
Where and When i can watch my process and data?
How can i test the whole integration?
I AM GETTING ERROR WHILE TESTING CONFIGURATION IN Integration Directory "Error while refreshing the XI runtime cache" and when i check this in SXI_CACHE it gives me error
"Unable to refresh cache "NO_BUSINESS_SYSTEM"
"Error during last refresh to cache"LCR_GET_OWN_BUSINESS_SYSTEM - NO_BUSINESS_SYSTEM"
Please solve all the above problems i will reward u points
thanks,

Problem between SOAP Sender and JDBC Receiver

Hi,
I have a asynchronous scenary between SOAP Sender and JDBC Receiver.
The idea is sending an ID for updating one register.
Table structure is:
TABLE AS_PERSONA
    (P_RUT                         VARCHAR2(10) NOT NULL,
    P_NOMBRE                       VARCHAR2(50),
    P_APELLIDO                     VARCHAR2(50))
The ID is the P_RUT field.
The structure of message that I send by SOAP, is the following:
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:SOAP-ENC="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
     <SOAP-ENV:Body>
          <m:MT_CONS_SOAP xmlns:m="urn:prueba:voliva">
               <CONSULTA>
                    <P_RUT>15445</P_RUT>
               </CONSULTA>
          </m:MT_CONS_SOAP>
     </SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
The JDBC receiver structure is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns0:MT_CONS_PERSONA xmlns:ns0="urn:prueba:voliva">
     <Statement>
          <AS_PERSONA action="UPDATE">
               <table>AS_PERSONA</table>
               <access>
                    <P_NOMBRE>DELETE_BY_XI</P_NOMBRE>
                    <P_APELLIDO>DELETE_BY_XI</P_APELLIDO>
               </access>
               <key>
                    <P_RUT>15445</P_RUT>
               </key>
          </AS_PERSONA>
     </Statement>
</ns0:MT_CONS_PERSONA>
When I do a call to SOAP by XMLspy, it returns a message without data, that means succesfull reply.
I see message monitor and see the succesfull flag. But in the database it doesn't update the register.
This scenario was proved using the File Sender and same JDBC Receiver, then result was succesfull.
I proved SOAP Sender with a File Receiver, storing information from SOAP sender in an archive, and works well.
Then I imagine that exist some problem between SOAP and JDBC. what could be happening ?
Thanks.

Hi,
Looks like the problem is with the JDBC receiver...try updating the value in the table by using a File-JDBC scenario..does it work..check the adapter monitor in RWB..

Storing image file in ms-access using jdbc

Dear all,
When i try to store a image file in MS-Access, I try it using OLE Object type in ms-access and object type in Java but i got following exception
java.sql.SQLException: SQL Exception : Unknown SQL Type for PreparedStatement.setObject (SQL Type=1111
So anyone please guide me that how to store an image file into ms-access database using the jdbc.
ishan

Do you want to store the text from the file? or the actual file?
If you want to store large amounts of raw text, then you can use the MEMO type, but it will only store up to 64kb (65,535 characters). If you want to store the actual file, you'll have to use a field of OLE type.
Does this answer your question? or were you asking something else?

10G Forms connect to MS Access via JDBC

A new project requires a 10G Form to connect to MS Access database. I understand 10G no longer connects to Access using ODBC. Will JDBC work? If JDBC can be used does anyone have a "How To" document or examples on how to connect orms 10G to MS Access via JDBC
Thanks
Ralph

I dont think it will work. In 10g forms is going to implement transparent gateways.
Is there a possibility of getting the data from MS access directly to Oracle database and then connect to Oracle DB from forms ?

Newbie to databases: mysql, sql and jdbc?

hi,
am new to databases and java-database access and was wondering if the following is correct
1) sql is a standard
2) mysql is an implementation of sql
3) there is a jdbc sql driver that can access any sql database (including mysql)
any help appreciated,
asjf

Pretty much yes that's true.ah, so its a defacto standard? I should've said "specification" above - in the same way that j2ee is a specification, and different vendors offer different implementations?
it sounds like SQL is not like j2ee in that way?
Most of the SQL compliant databases provide a JDBC driver that you can use. You can even write your own if you have an urge to do so.does JDBC provide a backend independent way of accessing databases? ie you can swap the drivers around fairly freely?
also, i'm having trouble locating a high-level overview of jdbc - i've found the "Basic tutorial" but this is more of a low-level step-by-step guide to starting out
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/jdbc/basics/index.html

Transfering Access and Excel to XML

Dear all,
Does anybody know the classes and APIs used to transfering Access and Excel to XML?
Kevin

There is no single Java API that is built to translate Access and Excel data into XML. However, you can use a simple combination of APIs to accomplish this task. A direct way of doing this is to create ODBC datasources from your Access or Excel sources, use JDBC to connect to and query those datasources. From there you can use the WebRowSet to convert your ResultSet into XML. If you require more control over the formatting of the data, you'll need write something that iterates over the ResultSet data, translating the column names and values into XML. I would recommend using JDOM to build your XML documents. WebRowSet is part of the Rowset API.
Hope this clears things for you.

How are JNDI and JDBC related or implemented using EJB's

For instance if I create an Entity bean, how do I get access to the database?
Do I create some sort of connection method?
Is JNDI used to lookup the beans and JDBC separate from that only to connect to the database?
I am a little confused.
Thanks.

Hello,
With respect to entity bean you need a Datasource for obtaining a sql connection to database. After obtaining a connection to database you can persist your entity bean's state to database.
Once you create a datasource, you have to bind it to a JNDI name. This JNDI name can then be used to lookup datasource, just like you use telephone directory to obtain a person's telephone no if you have his address.
You also bind your enity bean to a unique JNDI name so that clients can lookup the bean and use services offered by it.
JNDI is used to lookup EJBs, datasources, JMS Connection factories, etc and JDBC is used so that you can persist your enterprise java bean's state to database.

Performance difference between sqlj and jdbc

hi:
i am working with a project and i have to generate text files
from database . first i am working with pl/sql, but i am not so
satisfied with the performance. so i turn to java stored procedure. I have two choice sqlj and jdbc when accessing
database? which performs better? sqlj or jdbc? or there's only
little difference.
And would u like to give me some other choice to run faster.
maybe pro*c/c++ is a choice . but if it can't run much faster ,
it's not a better choice.
regards

Since you don't play games, you'll notice a difference in graphic and video applications that are GPU accelerated, like Motion, and Photoshop CS4 & 5.

Records and JDBC

I have PL/SQL stored procedures that I want to access from JDBC. Some of the procedures have RECORD as OUT parammeters.
How do I call this stored procedure using JDBC and use a RECORD as an OUT parameter?
Thanks,
Blair

Unfortunately, JDBC does not support RECORD type. Even passing objects back and forth from Oracle to JAVA does not work. However, Oracle claims it does! It throws all kinds of errors - Network type error, invalid coulmn type error. It seems JDBC is meant for simple insert, update, delete operation only !

I have a late 2012 iMac running osx 10.8.5. I keep losing access to my internal hard drive. I can reboot and regain access and it will last for a few minutes or hours. Disk utility does not seems to help.

I have a late 2012 iMac with an I5 precessor running OSX 10.8.5 and a 1tb internal hard drive. I keep losing access to the internal hard drive/startup disk.
I can reboot and everything operates as normal for a few minutes or hours but then I lose all access again to anything on the hard drive. The computer is still up and running but no files can be accessed and certain websites cannot be acessed even though internet access appears to be normal. Disk utility can only find permission errors related to iTunes which can be repaired only to come back at the next scan (I would not think permission errors would have anything to do with the hard drive crashing). It does not seem to matter what program I am using at the time access is lost and it can lose access sometimes right after reboot when no program is running.

You will need to boot into the Recovery Volume (command - R on a restart or hold down the option/alt key during restart and select it) to run Disk Utility/Disk Repair.

I transferred files from a NAS server to the Mac Mini Snow Leopard Server and now some of the files have Custom Access and can't be opened by some users. How do I fix this?

We're setting up our Mac Mini Snow Leopard Server, and in the process transferred files that had been stored and accessed from our Blackarmor NAS server over to the Mac. These files were all created on PC's and are Office Excel files, WordPerfect files or PDF's. When you look at the files on the Mac from the Mac and bring up Get Info for the affected file, it says that the file has Custom Access. The files that work properly don't have that configuration. I can access and open the files on some computers, but some users can't open the files from their computer even though they can see it. We're all using PC's and they get the Error: Access Denied-Contact your administrator--or something similar. I've seen on the web similar issues and it may have something to do with ACL permissions. I don't know enough about Mac OS to understand this, but what is baffling is that they can be opened from some PC's but not others, and all of the Users have the same accessibility to the files. Thanks for a solution!!
