MySQL ODBC Connection

Hi all,
Can anyone please let me know how to make ODBC Connection with MySql in JSP.
Steps wise explanation will be highly appreciated.
thanks for any help in advance,
savdeep.

Why you go for ODBC, better to use JDBC connection.
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance();
Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://127.0.0.1:3306/databasename", User, Pass);

CR2008: MySQL ODBC Connection duplicating FROM statement in SQL Expression

Maybe I'm doing something wrong here, but I think maybe I'm not and that I've found a bug.
I'm doing a very simple select statement:
SELECT count(*)
FROM labtech.computers
WHERE os NOT LIKE %server%
When I do this statement, I get an error:
Crystal Reports
Error in compiling SQL Expression :
Database Connector Error: '42000:[MySQL][ODBC 5.1 Driver][mysqld-5.1.37-community]You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'SELECT count(*)
FROM labtech.computers
WHERE os NOT LIKE %server% FROM `labtec' at line 1 [Database Vendor Code: 1064 ]'.
OK
There is nothing wrong with this sql statement, so I started digging a little, removing everything except for
Select *
Crystal Reports
Error in compiling SQL Expression :
Database Connector Error: '42000:[MySQL][ODBC 5.1 Driver][mysqld-5.1.37-community]You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'SELECT *
FROM `labtech`.`clients` `clients1`' at line 1 [Database Vendor Code: 1064 ]'.
OK
You will see that it is adding the
FROM `labtech`.`clients` `clients1`
So, my questions is:
1) Is this an issue with CR2008 or the MySQL ODBC driver
2) If it's CR2008, how do I report it?
3) Can anybody else duplicate it?
Thanks in advance for any help.

MySQL ODBC Setup

Post Author: Andrewr
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
Greetings,
I have a question as to how to get my ODBC connection setup.
I have XP and a Mysql DB running on a Linux Server, on my XP machine I am using the Mysql ODBC Connection tool. I have tried both the 3.51.23 and the new 5.xxxx versions of this tool.
I know that my username and password are correct in the setup.
Whenever I try to setup the ODBC I get the error " Request Returned SQL_ERROR"
[MySQL][ODBC 3.51 Driver]Can't connect to MySQL server on '192.168.0.197' (10061)
My XP Firewall is disabled.
Does anybody happen to have any suggestions?
Thank you
Andrew
Edit: I should probably add - that I am trying to generate reports with Crystal.
Thanks

Well - Problem is not solved yet, but I think I have it figured out.
When I log into my Linux server, and telnet to port 3306 I get a connection, so I know that Mysql is answering.
When I try to telnet to the server on 3306 from my windows machine, I get nothing.
So this leads me to believe that it is a firewall issue. Even though both the WS & Server's firewalls are disabled, I do have a dedicated firewall/DHCP server on the fringes of my network. I suspect that this may be the issue. All the hostnames for all machines are correctly located in the respective hosts files. So I know that is not the issue. Just gotta setup the correct rule for the firewall - I hope.
Thanks

ODBC connect from Oracle to MySQL!

Dear All,
I know its not very much related to the subject of this forum but DBA's often have to perform such tasks.
I am in process of developing replication between Oracle and MySQL. For this I have planned to create materialized views in oracle that query MySQL database.
I am using Oracle 11gR1 on Linux for Oracle Server and MySQL is on windows based server version is 5.1.
I am stuck at the very first step that is to create a database link between Oracle and MySQL.
On Oracle's server, I did the following:
Installed unixODBC rpm (Installed successfully)
Installed mysql-connector-odbc (Installed successfully)
when i write this command odbcinst -j it gives the following information
unixODBC 2.2.11
D|RIVER........... : /etc/odbcinst.ini ; (my comments : Files exists)
SYSTEM DATA SOURCE : /etc/odbc.ini (my comments : File exists )
USER DATA SOURCE : /root/.odbc.ini (my comments : File DO NOT exists)
Now i tried to add the following entry in the file /etc/odbc.ini
[bssdata]
Driver = MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver
DATABASE = bssdata
DESCRIPTION = views_on_bssdata
PWD =
PORT = 3306
SERVER = 192.168.0.68
UID = root
Now when i try to check the connectivity with the command:
isql -v bssdata root
Error: data source name not found, and no default driver specified.
ERROR: Could not SQLConnect
Anyone have tried this before, please help me out of it.

DAS Can't connect to mySQL ODBC

Using: HPS 8.3 Sun Solaris 8 I've created a BQY in Intelligence Explorer that connects using mySQL ODBC in Windows XP and wanted to publish it to the web, but I needed to publish the OCE to the server and set it up with DAS. Here are the steps I took 1. Installed the mysql connector odbc 3.51.12 sun solaris2.8 sparc 64bit ODBC in Solaris. 2. Created an odbc.ini file in Solaris with my mySQL connection settings in the home directory of the user running the services. I even made a copy of it in the $BP_HOME directory. 3. Added the library path for my ODBC library to all my scripts. 4. Added the data source using the service config tool. 5. Restarted services 6. published the OCE and BQY When I access the BQY using the plug-in, it gives me "Server Error [2009]; Internal Error Detected in Data Access Service" When I access it using the thin-client (iHTML), it gives me: "An Intelligence Service error has occurred.-Failed to acquire requested service" What else needs to be done? I tried some the other suggestions to no avail: --added the library path to the LD_PRELOAD variable in the $BP_HOME/bin/services.sh script Also, I noticed that when I ran ServiceConfig.sh, there were no data sources to pick from the dropdown. Anyone know how to make that active so I can just PICK the connection to use?

I'd strongly recommend that you take all that JDBC code out of your JSP. Put it into a class that you can test on the command line. Once you have it working, you can use it to get at data and pass it along to your JSP for display.
I'd also recommend that you not use scriptlets and learn JSTL right away. MVC separation suggests that putting Java code in a JSP is a very bad idea.

ODBC Connectivity with Crystal Reports 2009 and MySQL

Hi,
I'm hoping someone can help me. We are currently running Crystal Reports CR Developer version 9.2.2.693 with an ODBC connection (ODBC 3.51 driver) to a My SQL database, version 4.0.18.*
We want to upgrade to Crystal Reports 2008, CR Developer version 12.0.0.683, however when I try to run reports to the current database, I get the following error:
*Database Connector Error: 2300:[MySQL][ODBC 3.51 Driver][mysqld-4.0.18-nt]You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near .client where 0=1 at line 1 [Database Vendor Code: 1064] *
Has anyone encoutered this before? Do I need to get a different rev. ODBC driver? Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks for your suggestion, but since the same query works when I use Crytal Reports 9 to the same MySQL database, I don't think that's the issue. I wonder if it has to do with the driver.

Hi, i am trying to open and view a report that comes from another server with different odbc connection

hi, i am trying to open and view a report that comes from another server with different odbc connection
i created a crystal report for a mysql database on my machine and everything works great
but we have other reports that come from other machines with different odbc connection
and this its not working when opens the report asks for credentials
and i cannot use the remote ip for these reports that come from other machine
question
if i cannot connect to remote ip to open the report
for each report i have to create a database the report database on my machine and then open the report ?
or there is some other way to open the report ?
i am using visual studio 2013 and mysql and
<add key="MYSQLODBCDRIVER" value="{MySQL ODBC 5.3 UNICODE Driver}"/>
thanks

short
i have a report that it was created on another server with a specific dsn
now i am trying to open the report on my machine
the database from the other server does not exist on my machine
the server machine where the report was created the ip its not accessible
question ?
can i open the report on my machine or its impossible ?
thanks

Visio Database Wizard fails - ODBC connection to MS SQL

When I try to create an ODBC connection in Visio's 2010's Database wizard I get the error: "Cannot set the database context information. Additional error information:ODBC Error: s1009. Database cxweba does not exist."
Note that the database name is cxwebapp_bkk. I get the same error if I connect to any database on that server, and it always truncates the name in the error message (if that is a hint to the error).
Using Visio 2013, after connecting to the database: when I select the database object I get the error message: "The selected table has only one field or contains no definition information. The Database Wizard requires a minimum of one key field
and one additional data field."
I have this problem using both SQL Server driver (6.02.9200.116384 and SQL Server Native Client 11.0 (2011.1102.2100.60).
I do not have this problem connecting to a MYSQL database with either version of Visio, nor do I have this problem when I link link to the same SQL database in a drawing and link shapes in that drawing using the "Link Data to Shapes" under the
Data tab.

Hello,
What's the version of the SQL Server instance you connect to? It seems that the Database Wizard in Visio 2010 not work well with the Microsoft SQL Server ODBC driver. Did you try to use the Generic OLEDB Provider for SQL Server?
Since the issue is more related to office Visio, please post the question in the following forum. More experts there will assist you:

Report Designer odbc connection string for data source using a parameter

I am using stand alone report designer 3 for the present and have a question/problem regarding the odbc connection string for MySQL when setting up the data-source
I need to be able to enter a parameter which is the database name i.e. BOE-201401 or say BOE-201312 etc from a list of databases the user can choose from.
at present the odbc connection string points to BOE-201402
the connection string is at present Dsn=Development Server for MYsql;description=MYSQL;server=ldndw01;database=BOE-201402;port=3306
my parameter has the name BOE_DATABASE
and in an expression it is as such
=Parameters!BOE_DATABASE.Value
I want to point the datasource for the report to the parameter value before the user sees the report.

Hi Leslie,
Based on your description, we want to design a report with a dynamic DataSource connection string. There are the basic steps below for your reference:
Create report with static database.
Change data source to report parameter.
Send new database connection string as a report parameter.
More detail information, please refer to the following blog: Dynamic Database in SSRS 2008.

Crystal Reports Server 2008 (Linux) - Crystal Reports/MySQL/ODBC Issue

Hello,
I have successfully installed CRS '08 on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 server. All services run fine.
In the CMC, I have uploaded a Crystal Report that connect to a remote MySQL server.
I have installed the My SQL ODBC 3.51.11 and .12 Drivers as a System DSN.
I have proven that the reports run fine in Crystal Reports 2008 directly against the remote MySQL DB server.
(in Windows but with the same 3.51 ODBC Drivers)
I have also proven that the database connection works okay from the CRS '08 Red Hat server to the remote MySQL DB server, when also creating a system DSN (using bash ./ODBCConfig)
The problem is that when I log into the CMC or InfoView, and when I run the Crystal Reports from there, I get an error message:
"Error in File <MyCrystalReport>: Failed to load database information"
Is there something wrong with my specific Crystal Reports' Database Configuration? (Right click- Database Configuration)
I see the driver was registered correctly in the /etc/odbc.ini file
Am I supposed to set any other ODBC environment variables?
Is there are firewall issue (port 3306 is already open)?
In summary, the install was successful, and Crystal Reports can be uploaded and viewed via CMC or InfoView, but I cannot run the Crystal Reports against the database.
Please advise, Thanks!

Hi, I'm facing a similar problem. My ODBC DSN never works with CRS. Here are the details: 
(1) I installed the CRS 2008 in /opt/crystalreportsserver_2008_v1/ on a Linux platform. The CRS works well. I created a report with Crystal Reports 2008. This report directly connects to a MySQL server. After I published the report and manually modify its database configuration, I can browse it from InfoView. I'm sure that CRS, MySQL, and a report connecting to MySQL are all good. 
(2) Then, I created an ODBC DSN on a Windows platform. This DSN connects to a MySQL server. I created another report with Crystal Reports using this DSN. The report can show the data within Crystal Reports. 
(3) Then, I published the second report to CRS, but when I try to browse it, I always get such a message: Failed to open the connection. 
I have configured the ODBC for CRS on the Linux server and I think the configuration is correct. This is how I do that: I edited the /opt/crystalreportsserver_2008_v1/bobje/odbc.ini file. In the file I added a data source called ods_telstar. Following is the content of the file: 
[ODBC Data Sources] <
CRSQLServerWP=DataDirect 5.3 SQLServer Wire Protocol Driver 
CRSybaseWP=DataDirect 5.3 Sybase Wire Protocol Driver 
CRText=DataDirect 5.3 Text Driver 
%SYBASEDSN%=DataDirect 5.3 Sybase Wire Protocol Driver 
ods_telstar = MySQL 
 
... 
 
[ods_telstar] 
Description = ODS on telstar 
Trace = Off 
TraceFile = stderr 
Driver = /opt/crystalreportsserver_2008_v1/bobje/enterprise120/linux_x86/odbc/lib/libmyodbc5.so 
SERVER = xxx 
USER = xxx 
PASSWORD = xxx 
PORT = 3306 
DATABASE = ods 
 
In the middle I removed some data source definitions that are by default in the file. Note that I use "xxx" to replace the server name, user, and password. Such information is for internal use and I'm sure the original information is correct. The MySQL ODBC driver file has been put in the correct location. Correct access permissions has been assigned to the file. 
I've tried to restart the CRS server, but still the report using ODBC DSN cannot be viewed. 
The reason that we want to user ODBC DSN is that we may have many reports to publish. When we design the reports, we specify that they get data through an ODBC DSN such as ods_telstar. If we configure the same DSN on CRS, then we don't need manually modify each report's configuration after we publish them. If these reports are directly connecting to MySQL, then we have to manually modify each one's database configuration after we publish them. 
I've no idea what's wrong with all the setup. Any suggestions and comments are appreciated!

OBIEE 10.1.3.4.1 & MySQL ODBC on linux. Generated SQL is wrong.

Anyone know how to fix this situation?
We are running OBIEE 10.1.3.4.1 on Redhat Linux 5.3 with MySQL ODBC connector.
When connecting to MySQL we have need to connect to multiple databases.
Problem is that OBIEE is generating incorrect sql.
Example:
select * from db_name..table_name;
Note the two dots between db and table.
This is incorrect syntax for MySQL. Should be only 1 dot.
But I can't find a way to get OBIEE to only use 1 dot.

MySQL is not a supported Datasource.

How to use ODBC connection specified on Linux containing Oracle BI EE 11g on BI Administration?

I have Oracle BI server (OBIEE 11g) installed on a Linux machine. I want to use a MySQL database running on same machine for reporting. I need to create Subject Area from the MySQL database.
However, I am having problem creating connection pool from the MySQL database. BI Administration runs only on Windows and I can't see ODBC connections on Linux even when I opened BI from Linux in online mode in BI Administration. I have created ODBC on Windows, but it's giving me a "Failed to perform requested action" when trying to import metadata.
For the record, everything works fine when everything is installed on Windows.
