ODBC driver connection bypass

Hi there.
I would like to not make a connection to my database in ODBC data source (in windows control panel)
Instead I would like to define the path to my MS Access Database located in my classpath.
is this possible to do in my method that connects to the odbc driver in java?
if yes...how???
Thank you

I have seen a code once as follows:
try{
            Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
            String url = "jdbc:odbc:MS Access Database;" +
                    "DBQ=D:\\MainDb.mdb;";
            String user = "";
            String pw = "";
            con = DriverManager.getConnection(url, user, pw);
...this was said to bypass the setup of odbc in windows control panel....
I have tried it with my database but it's giving me the following exception error message:
"[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Syntax error in CREATE TABLE statement."
any idea why? it is connecting...else it would have been a connection exception message....
thanks

Jdbc:odbc driver connection issues

I need to use the jdbc:odbc driver to access a non-oracle db from a jsp. I am sure my dsn is fine as I can use a non JSP java app to connect to the odbc db. I have loaded the sun.jdbc.odbc classes in the schema I am working in as it is not loaded by default in 9.2.0.7 currently I am on a windows system. I have found the following:
public static void doTest()throws Exception{
// load the local Oracle Driver
DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());
connLocalOracle = new OracleDriver().defaultConnection();
// load the odbc driver
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
if I exit at this point the jsp does not through an exception
however if I include the line:
connODBC = DriverManager.getConnection(odbcURL,"XX","XX");
I get the error:
SQL> execute do_jdbc_odbc_test;
BEGIN do_jdbc_odbc_test; END;
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-29532: Java call terminated by uncaught Java exception:
java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbc.allocConnect
ORA-06512: at "TU1.DO_JDBC_ODBC_TEST", line 0
ORA-06512: at line 1
So I am assuming I am loading the driver but the driver is not talking to the odbc configuration in windows.
What permissions would I need to give to the user to allow this connection to occur?
How can I find out if this is indeed the case?
If not how can I make this connection happen using ODBC?

If by jsp you mean Java Stored Procedure, the hybrid JDbc-ODBC stack won't work. You can connect to non-Oracle RDBMS from within Java in the database by using a pure Java JDBC driver of the target RDBM. Fwiw, a complete example connecting to SQl Server from with JavaDB is described in my upcoming book. (See http://db360.blogspot.com/)

ORA-12154 Windows 7 32bit ORACLE 11g ODBC Driver CONNECT

Hi All,
I'm having problems connecting to extenal database using Oracle ODBC driver for Windows 7 32bit .
I have downloaded the instantclient odbc nt 11.2.0.4zip drivers for 32-bit and unpacked it
and run the installer and choose the default location ie c:\app\product\11.2.0\client_1
2.I done all the necessary setting ie set the Path and creating new user variable for tns admin
in the system environment and modified the hostfile on etc sys32 and copied both tsnamesn and sqlnet
to Network\Admin file
3.I then started the Data Sources (ODBC) manager, configured the driver and tested the
configuration then I got a testing connection error SQLstate= 08004... ORA-12154 TNS couldn't connect.
could you please help. Thanks in advance.

I couldn't understand why you need two different tnsnames files. Are they resides in two different directories with filename "tnsnames.ora"? In that case, you need to set the TNS_ADMIN appropriately.
If you haven't named tnsnames files as "tnsnames.ora", then Oracle ODBC driver may not able to access it.
Also if TNS_ADMIN env variable is not pointed to the correct directory where tnsnames.ora file resides, then Oracle ODBC driver won't be able to access it.
In any case, if Oracle ODBC driver unable to access the tnsnames.ora and there is no connection string value stored in the Windows registry, then it throws ORA-12154 error.
Thanks,
Senthil

Oracle doesn't produce such a beast. Microsoft provides a lot of important ODBC infrastructure on Windows that driver writers rely on which isn't available on Linux.
There are third parties that have developed ODBC drivers for Oracle on Linux. There's an open source project at <http://www.unixodbc.com> that you might be able to use. Companies like Merant may also provide drivers.

Oracle 10g ODBC driver with Windows 7 32 bit connecting to Excel

Hi Everyone,
I'm having an issue connecting to our oracle 10g database (64 bit system) from a 32 bit windows 7 installation running excel 2010/2007 using odbc drivers. Our excel spreadsheets worked without issue in windows xp.
In windows 7 I have been able to install the odbc driver via the following method:
1. Download the oracle 'basic' client and oracle 'odbc' client from www.oracle.com and extract the contents:
instantclient-basic-win32-10.2.0.3-20061115
instantclient-odbc-win32-10.2.0.3-20061115
2. Create a folder 'oracle' and place the instantclient_10_2 folder inside.
3. Ensure all the basic and odbc files reside in this folder.
4. Create a 'network' folder within instantclient_10_2
5. Create an 'admin' folder within 'network'
6. Create sqlnet.ora and tnsnames.ora files within the 'admin' folder:
7. Run 'obdc_install' within the instantclient_10_2 folder
8. Download and run the oracle odbc driver exe file from www.oracle.com (ORA10203.exe)
9. Go to Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Data Sources and create a new System DN
This allows excel spreadsheets connecting ONLY to oracle to function.
Unfortunately some of our spreadsheets connect to both a MySQL database as well as oracle. Spreadsheets connecting only to MySQL also function correctly, however, as soon as the vb associated with a spreadsheet includes a mysql call followed by an oracle call the spreadsheets fail. In Excel 2007 excel crashes completely everytime. In Excel 2010 the mysql data is generated, then when the script hits to oracle odbc connection there is a long pause, the oracle ODBC driver connect pops up requesting a username/password (this didn't happen in xp), then the data source selection pops up, then the username/password connect screen pops up again, and finally it fails with a runtime error '1004' General ODBC error.
If you look at the VB script it's failing at the Refresh BackgroundQuery statement in the ODBC connection block:
With Worksheets("Oracle1").QueryTables.Add(Connection:= _
"ODBC;DSN=Oracle_ODBC;UID=user;PWD=password;SERVER=ORACLE_LINUX;", _
Destination:=Worksheets("Oracle1").Range("A1"))
.CommandText = strSql
.Name = "Oracle1_data"
.FieldNames = True
.RowNumbers = False
.FillAdjacentFormulas = False
.PreserveFormatting = True
.RefreshOnFileOpen = False
.BackgroundQuery = True
.RefreshStyle = xlOverwriteCells
.SavePassword = True
.SaveData = True
.AdjustColumnWidth = True
.RefreshPeriod = 0
.PreserveColumnInfo = True
.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False
End With
Does anyone know how to get around this? It's very important!!
Also if you try to edit the oracle ODBC connections in Control Panels -> Administrative Tools -> Data Sources, ODBC crashes 95% of the time.
Advice greatly appreciated!!

Well, here's what I'd check anyway..
1) get Process Explorer from http://sysinternals.com
2) make a mysql connection, get a list of dll's loaded (include the location and version columns in the lower pane output)
3) close that, then make an ora odbc connection, get a list of dlls.
4) close that, then make a mysql connection followed by an ora odbc connection, get a list of dlls
5) compare the lists of loaded dlls. In particular, the difference between #3 and #4, is there a dll dependency that gets loaded by oracle's odbc that comes from a different location when you've opened a mysql connection first?
May or may not help, but might turn up a difference to help point you in a direction.

Visual Studio 2010 64bit cann't connect Oracle database through 64bit ODBC Driver

Hi,
I am developing an 64bit And-In software. My OS is windows7 64bit Ultimate. Developer tool is
Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate 64bit any-CUP.
Server is SUN server and Oracle database 10.2.0.5 64bit enterprise edition.
I have installed instantclient-odbc-win64-10.2.0.5 on my computer.
I am able to connect through the command line sqlplus user/pass@server.
In date source(c:\windows\system32\odbcad32.exe), ODBC Driver connection successful.
But in VS2010 C#, use Tools -> Connect Database,I get an error 193 (Oracle in
instantclient10_2,c:\ora10_64\SQORA32.dll) cann't be loaded.
SQORA32.dll is 32bit ODBC Driver or 64bit ODBC Driver?
How can I connect database with vs2010 64bit?
Regards

There is no Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate 64bit as far as I know. It's a 32 bit app. Generally you'd need to install a 32 bit client to use the 32 bit tools.
Hope it helps,
Greg

Clicked on Data View Pallete --> New Data Connection --> selected OLEDB Database radio button --> Build a Connection string (clicked on build button) --> selected MS OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (the default selected option ) --> clicked on Next >> button --> Use connection string (radio button) --> Build connection string on clicking Build button --> Select Data Source windows opens --> Clicked on Machine Data Source tab --> created a new data source (with User Data Source) --> Selected the MySQL ODBC Driver (MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver) --> Clicked on next button and then Finish
A Connector/ ODBC 3.51.28 - Add Data Source Name window opens up which have the DSN connection details (DSN Name , Server , user , password , database).
I put all the default details
After this i got a error message saying that
Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES has encountered a problem and needs to
close. we are sorry for the inconvenience
I tried this number of time and was getting this error message every
time i try to put the DSN Detail and trying to connect to the DB. This
was really irritating.
Can somebody's what's the Issue . Is this a Resource Conflict or
something else
P.S :- I am using Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES2 Ver.9.0.0 with Windows XP and MySQL
Connector /ODBC 3.51 and the DB Connection is working good for MS
Access( though i don't need MySQL Connector fot this ).
Any Help would be highly appreciated

Database Connection Error 42000:[Microsoft][ODBC driver for oracle] Syntax

Hi,
This is Sathish, I am trying to create a report and retrieve data through stored procedure using ODBC Connection. When connecting to the Stored Procedure it is showing Database Connection Error 42000:[Microsoft][ODBC driver for oracle] Syntax error or access violation' Error.
CRXI R2, Oracle 9i.
What do i do to solve this issue.
Regards,
Sathish

Hi Satish
It could be an issue with the driver.
You can try with the OLEDB n Oracle native connection to test if the issue persists.
Also you can refer to the [Troubleshooting Database Connectivity for Crystal Reports|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/index?rid=/library/uuid/d05b3bb7-0f28-2c10-4ea3-84dbdc4e414e&overridelayout=true]

Developer 6i connection to ODBC driver

Hello All,
i m trying to connect Oracle Developer 2000 6i to a MYSQL backend running on windows Server , the ODBC connection failed, but when i use SQL*PLUS 8 and Schema Builder ( come with Dev 2000 6i ) , it worked...
Just dont know why FORMS cannot connect , any one have any idea ? when connect , the is an error message appear 'r' and thats it, no proper messages , just an 'r' appear on the message box and when you press OK , it goes back to the CONNECT screen and asking for User Id again...

Hi Frans Truyens,
This forum is for deveopers discussing
apps for Office.
Based on the description, you want to connect to the database with ODBC driver using C#. As far as I know, we can use ADO.Net to ahciev the goal. Here is an useful link for your reference:
Connecting to an ODBC Data Source Using ADO.NET
If you still have issue about it, I suggest that you get more effective response from
ADO.NET Managed Providers forum.
Also if you have developing issue with C#, you can discuss the issues in
Visual C# forum.
Hope it is helpful.

Latest ODBC driver 9.0.1.5.0 does not work/ test connection

Hello,
I am using an Oracle 9.0.1 database. Before, I installed the 9.0.1.4.0 (6/25/02) and the test connection in the ODBC Administrator works perfectly. I have problems to access a timestamp column. So I installed the latest available driver 9.0.1.5.0 (11/1/02). The installation did not report any errors but the test connection fails with "Unable to connect ...[Driver Manager] driver's SQLAllocHandle on SQL_HANDLE_ENV failed". What's wrong? Can I have both drivers installed in parallel?

You can only have one ODBC driver installed per Oracle home. Unless you have multiple Oracle 9.0.1 homes, you can't have multiple 9.0.1 ODBC drivers installed.
Have you tried re-creating the DSN you're using? This generally isn't necessary, but it's in the README that comes with new drivers because there are occasionally circumstances where it is necessary.

Problem using JDBC to connect to WBEM ODBC driver

Hello,
I've got a problem to connect to WBEM ODBC driver using JDBC. The error is:
exception due a la requetejava.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][WBEM ODBC Driver]Unable to connect
When I try to connect to a MS access database, replacing only the ODBC source name, it's working. I can access to the MS access db. But when I put the WMI ODBC source name, WMI, I've got this error.
Does anybody know what could happened? Is it possible to access to WMI through JDBC? With MS access, accessing WMI ODBC is working !
Thanks very much for your help.
Here is the part of the source code :
import java.sql.*;
import java.io.*;
public class Main_1 {
/** Creates a new instance of Main_1 */
public Main_1() {
* @param args the command line arguments
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
String url = "jdbc:odbc:WMI";
Class.forName ("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(url);
String query = "Select * from Win32_Processor";
//String query = "Select * from test;";
ResultSet results;
Statement stmt = con.createStatement();
results = stmt.executeQuery(query);
//System.out.println (results);
catch(Exception e){
System.out.println("exception due a la requete" + e);
e.printStackTrace();
}

you have to first start the network listener before you can run the program
start TNSLSNR before running the jdbc program
