ODBC vs. JDBC on MS SQL 2000

Hello,
This is an issue we dont understand.
We would like to connect to a MS SQL 2000 DB via JDBC adapter.
The support guy for thsi DB told us
"The drivers you need to install are ODBC". ????
Now we installed a JDBC driver from microsoft page but this is the error we get when trying to connect.
Message processing failed. Cause: com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.RecoverableException: Error when attempting to get processing resources: com.sap.aii.af.service.util.concurrent.ResourcePoolException: Unable to create new pooled resource: DriverManagerException: Cannot establish connection to URL 'jdbc:sqlserver://10.60.104.99;Database=Buysite_EB02': UnsupportedClassVersionError: com/microsoft/sqlserver/jdbc/SQLServerDriver (Unsupported major.minor version 49.0)
So it seems that the driver for MS SQL 2000 installed is not the right one?
But what about the ODBC advice. Is this something important?
So it is not the SQL that is important but the fact that we need to use a ODBC driver.
But how to find that and how will the Connection parameter look like?
Sorry to ask silly questions. But we don t really understand this issue.
Best regards
Dirk

Note 639702 seems not to be the right solution:
This is an excerpt from the FAQ OSS Note 831162
13. JDBC Drivers
o Q: I downloaded JDBC driver for MS SQL server from Service market
place according to Note 639702. Can I use this driver for JDBC
Adapter?
o A: No. This driver can only be used from OpenSQL which is a SAP own
database access layer for Java. This driver should not be used with
XI JDBC adapter. Customers should download official JDBC driver
given by Microsoft web site

JDBC Driver for SQL 2000

Hi all,
Does anyone knows where I can download a JDBC driver for SQL 2000?
Would you happen to have a sample code on how to use this driver to connect to SQL 2000. Any help is greatly appreciated in advance.
Thanks,
Mehran

Of course...

Can SQL 2000 and SQL 2005 drivers co-exist in PI?

Hi,
Currently in our PI environment, we have JDBC Adapter connections to SQL 2000 database servers for which the Driver has already been installed.
For connecting to new SQL 2005 database servers, I understand that we have to install the SQL 2005 drivers. I also came to know that SQL 2005 Driver is backward compatible and supports JDBC connection to SQL 2000 server.
But the question I have is whether both the SQL 2000 and SQL 2005 drivers can be installed together in a way that connection to SQL 2000 use the 2000 driver and the connection to 2005 uses 2005 Driver.
(They have different connection strings)
Many thanks in advance,
Regards,
Rosie Sasidharan

The SQL Server 2005 JDBC driver is far better than the SQL Server 2000 JDBC driver. The 2005 JDBC driver primarily consists for one file, sqljdbc.jar. ( if you want to use windows authentication there is another file you would need based on your platform x64 vs x86 called sqljdbc_auth.dll. If in the connect string you list ;integratedSecurity=true which means integrated security would be used and this second file would be required. The 2000 driver did not support integrated security.
The SQL 2000 JDBC driver was made up of the 3 jar files:
msbase.jar,mssqlserver.jar and msutil.jar.
If you want to use a Microsoft JDBC driver to connect to SQL Server 2005, than you should use the 2005 driver, sqljdbc.jar.
Follow the instructions in point 1 of the note #831162 - FAQ: XI 3.0 / PI 7.0 / PI 7.1 JDBC Adapter questions 1 and 13.
Since the jar are different I assume you can use the both drivers, but it doesnt make sense.

JDBC 101: How to connect to an SQL database with JDBC
Introduction
If you're interested in connecting your Java applets and applications to standard SQL databases like Oracle, Informix, Sybase, and others, JDBC is your ticket to paradise. The combination of Java's JDBC and standard SQL makes a simple and powerful database solution. JDBC makes the simple things easy -- without making the complex tasks too difficult either.
In this first article in our series, we'll show you step-by-step how to establish a connection from your Java programs to an SQL database using JDBC. In the process we'll show you how to connect to two different databases -- Mini SQL (mSQL), and Interbase -- just so you can see how the code changes when you switch from one database to another.
Obtaining the JDBC driver
Before you start working with JDBC, you'll need a copy of the Java JDK. If you don't have it already, you can get the JDK for free at Sun's Java web site, or it will also be included with many IDE's that you can purchase, such as JBuilder or Visual Cafe.
Once you have the JDK, the next thing you need to do is to get the correct JDBC driver for your database. In most cases the JDBC driver will be provided by your database vendor. For instance, if you purchase the Interbase database, the driver will be provided with the software, or you can obtain the most recent version at http://www.interbase.com/.
(An exception to this rule is Mini SQL, or mSQL. Because it's a very low-cost database, the JDBC driver has actually been developed by a separate group of people, led by George Reese at imaginary.com. You can download the mSQL JDBC driver from the imaginary.com web site.)
Once you have the correct JDBC driver for your database, install it according to the instructions that came with it. Installation instructions will vary somewhat for each vendor.
Establishing a connection is a two-step process
Once you have the correct JDBC driver installed, establishing a connection from your Java programs to your SQL database is pretty easy.
Regardless of whether you're trying to connect to Oracle, Sybase, Informix, mSQL, or Interbase (or any other JDBC data source), establishing a connection to an SQL database with Java JDBC is a simple two-step process:
Load the JDBC driver.
Establish the connection.
We'll show you two examples just so you can see how easy it is, and how little the code changes when you migrate from one database server to another.
A Mini SQL Example
Listing 1 provides the full source code required to establish a connection to a mSQL database on a server named "www.myserver.com".
// Establish a connection to a mSQL database using JDBC.
import java.sql.*;
class JdbcTest1 {
    public static void main (String[] args) {
        try {
            // Step 1: Load the JDBC driver.
            Class.forName("com.imaginary.sql.msql.MsqlDriver");
            // Step 2: Establish the connection to the database.
            String url = "jdbc:msql://www.myserver.com:1114/contact_mgr";
            Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url,"user1","password");
        } catch (Exception e) {
            System.err.println("Got an exception! ");
            System.err.println(e.getMessage());
Listing 1: This source code example shows the two steps required to establish a connection to a Mini SQL (mSQL) database using JDBC.
An Interbase Example
Listing 2 provides the full source code required to establish a connection to an Interbase database. In this example, we're connecting to a local Interbase server (i.e., the server is running on the same PC that we're running the Java code on).
// Establish a connection to an Interbase database using JDBC.
import java.sql.*;
class JdbcTest1 {
    public static void main (String[] args) {
        try {
            // Step 1: Load the JDBC driver.
            Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
            // Step 2: Establish the connection to the database.
            String url = "jdbc:odbc:contact_mgr";
            Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url,"user1","password");
        } catch (Exception e) {
            System.err.println("Got an exception! ");
            System.err.println(e.getMessage());
Listing 2: This source code example shows the two steps required to establish a connection to an Interbase database using JDBC.
What's the difference?
The difference between the two source code listings is very small, so we highlighted them in a dark blue color. The only difference between connecting to the two databases is:
The name of the JDBC driver.
The URL used to connect to the database.
Everything else in the two source code listings -- except for the comment at the top -- is identical. Here's a slightly more detailed discussion of the two differences:
1. The JDBC Driver
The name of the JDBC driver will be supplied to you by your database vendor. As you can see in the class.forName() statements, these names will vary. In the first case we're using the mSQL-JDBC driver. In the second case we're using the JDBC-ODBC Bridge driver supplied with the Interbase server.
2. The URL
The syntax of the DriverManager.getConnection() method is:
DriverManager.getConnection(String url, String username, String password);
The username and password are the normal names you use to log into your database. The URL you use will again vary with the database you use. In both examples shown, we're establishing a connection to a database named contact_mgr. (We'll use this database for all of our examples in this series of JDBC articles.)
If you stick with standard SQL commands, it can be very easy to switch from one database server to another. In fact, I've heard from several developers who are using mSQL to prototype their software (because it's so inexpensive), and then switching to another commercial vendor when it's time to take their product "live".
Conclusion
Establishing a connection to an SQL database with Java JDBC is a simple, two-step process. The process is nearly identical for all SQL databases, and the only real differences are (a) the driver name, and (b) the URL used to connect to the database. Your database vendor will provide this information in their documentation.

JDBC driver for SQL Server 2000 with windows authentication

Does anyone know of a JDBC driver for SQL Server 2000 that supports Windows Authentication, that is that a username and password does not need to be supplied when connecting to the database.

You can use the JDBC-ODBC-Bridge.
ODBC provides windows-authentication.
Hope it helps.

Test JDBC Driver For SQL Server 2000 Failed

Hi:
I have trouble setting up the database connection using jdbc driver in the studio, could anyone help me please? I have MS SQL 2000 MSDE installed on my local machine. I downloaded and installed the JDBC Driver for MSSQL 2000 from Microsoft.
I put the following jar files into the/lib/ext/ directory
msbase.jar
mssqlserver.jar
msutil.jar
In Studio 4.1 EE, I went to Runtime>Databases>Drivers, Add a new Driver with these information:
Name: MSSQL Driver
Driver: com.microsoft.jdbcx.sqlserver.SQLServerDataSource
URL Prefix: jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://localhost:<PORT>[;DatabaseName=<DB>]
Next I run the Test Driver...
Database URL: jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://<machineName>\\<instanceName>;DatabaseName=<xxx>
User: <username>
Password: <password>
I receieved the a popup box and message in the output window:
Internal test driver incomplete. the driver may not support the required DatabaseMetadata methods. take a look at the Output Window for details.
Warning: No tables were found. Check your database.
Warning: No views were found. Check your database

Your replies are greatly appreciated.

com.microsoft.jdbcx.sqlserver.SQLServerDataSource is a very old direct driver. I'd recommend using the DataDirect 3.2 driver. It can be found at:

JDBC connection to SQL Server 2000

Hi,
I am new to Java programming. I am using Websphere Studio Site Developer 5.1 and I am having issues connecting to SQL 2000.
This is what I have done so far:
1. Downloaded the SQL Server 2k JDBC service pack 3 driver from Microsoft.
2. Ran the executable. Seems like the JDBC driver was installed successfully.
3. Created a user w/ dbo permissions on the DB that I want to access.
Here is a snippet of my java code so far:
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://DEV01:1433;DatabaseName=NG_RFQ;SelectMethod=cursor", "username", "password");
Statement stmt = con.createStatement();
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM Customer");
if(rs.next()){
customerName = rs.getString("CustomerName");
buyerName = rs.getString("BuyerName");
con.close();
I have been working on this for days and can NOT get a connection established.
Here are some of the error messages that I have been receiving thru WSSD.
java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver
[8/11/04 18:11:54:815 EDT] 5e5c8f29 SystemErr R at java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(DriverManager.java:558)
Can anyone please tell me what I am doing wrong? Or point me in the right direction.
I have searched hi and lo for the answer but still no luck.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
-JML

"No suitable driver" means one of two things:
1. You forgot the Class.forName() part (quite uncommon, but if I look at the original post, this might just be the cause).
2. The URL is wrong (usually a typo, look for colons, semicolons, parameter names etc.)

JDBC connection to SQL Server 2000 Service Pack 4

Hello Everyone,
I'm trying to do a simple application which save some values into a MS SQL Server 2000 Database's Table.
The source code I've written is:
package Logging;
import com.brekeke.net.sip.sv.session.*;
import com.brekeke.net.sip.sv.session.plugins.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.sql.*;
public class Logging extends AccountingBase {
public int eventSessionStart( EventStat evstat, String[] argprm )
int ris =0;
int line=999;
try {
EventStat a;
a = evstat ;
String username;
username=a.urlCaller;
String callee;
callee=a.urlCallee;
Statement stmt = null;
try {
line=1;
Class.forName("com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver");
line=2;
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://BSSQL:1433;DataBaseName=Test;User=sa;Password=biesse");
line=3;
// Create and execute an SQL statement that returns some data.
String SQL = "INSERT INTO log VALUES ('" + a.urlCaller + "','" + a.urlCallee + "')";
line=4;
stmt = conn.createStatement();
line=5;
line=stmt.executeUpdate(SQL);
line=10;
catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
finally {
if (stmt != null) try { stmt.close(); } catch(Exception e) {}
File f = new File("c:/prova.txt");
FileOutputStream fos=new FileOutputStream(f);
PrintStream ps=new PrintStream(fos);
ps.println(line);
ps.println(a.urlCaller);
ps.println(a.urlCallee);
fos.close();
catch ( Exception ex ) {
return ris;
The problem is that into the Table no value is written, no problem compiling it and into the file prova.txt I can see only the value line=1 written!
So there should be something wrong in the connection.
I've already installed the JDBC drivers for SQL Server 2000 and I've addedd into the libraries the "msbase.jar, the mssqlserver.jar and the msutil.jar".
But nothjng written into the Database :-(
Can you help me please?
Thank you very much in advance,
Best Regards
Francesco

Yes i am able to connect from ISQL. Only connecting from JDBC is a problem.

Using JSP & JDBC driver for SQL Server 2000 on Red Hat

I successfully have a .jsp app running on windows server 2000 using JDBC
driver for SQL Server 2000. Which I installed in order to the following
Red Hat:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/MSDN-FILES/027/001/779/install.htm
I moved the .jsp app over to the Red Hat 9 server running Tomcat, while
keeping the MS SQL 2000 on windows. The issue I have is setting up the
JDBC driver for SQL Server 2000 on the Red Hat server.
I created a folder called /usr/java/MSSQLdriver and unzipped the tar file with
the driver for SQL Server 2000. And ran the install.ksh script.
The /usr/java/MSSQLdriver/lib has the following files within it:
msbase.jar, msutil.jar, & mssqlserver.jar
I chmod 0777 each of the *.jar files.
I then went into /etc/profile.d/tomcat.sh and adding the following:
CLASSPATH=.;/opt/msSQLjdbc/lib/msbase.jar;/opt/msSQLjdbc/lib/msutil.jar;/opt/msSQLjdbc/lib/mssqlserver.jar
Each time I login and pull up the termial I get the following error:
bash: /opt/msSQLjdbc/lib/msbase.jar: cannot execute binary file
bash: /opt/msSQLjdbc/lib/msutil.jar: cannot execute binary file
bash: /opt/msSQLjdbc/lib/mssqlserver.jar: cannot execute binary file
And can't connnect to the database within the .jsp app.
Is there anyone out there using DBC driver for SQL Server 2000 on the Red Hat server?
Michael

Sorry, I needed to correct some information of where the drivers were installed.
I created a folder called /usr/java/MSSQLdriver/new and untar the Microsoft file with the driver for SQL Server 2000. I ran the install.ksh script "sh install.ksh"
installed the driver into the default directory "/opt/msSQLjdbc".
The /opt/msSQLjdbc/lib has the following files within it:
msbase.jar, msutil.jar, & mssqlserver.jar
