JDBC-ODBC bridge? I read about it. But I have doubts:
The dbf is in a windows system. Can I use the bridge it to connect remotely from a Linux System?
If true, Do I need ODBC driver in the Linux System?
However, I think jdbc is more standard (maybe some day the dbf will be moved to a "normal" db)The idea of the JDBC-ODBC bridge driver is that it is JDBC. So in your code you use JDBC. Then, in essence, the bridge driver maps your JDBC calls onto ODBC ones instead.
As far as the Linux part of this goes... I honestly don't know. I think I once heard of someone successfully doing this but I could be wrong. You would for sure need an ODBC Unix driver for DBF. I would suggest searching this forum (for using JDBC -. ODBC on Unix/Linux) before spending a lot of time going down this route. Like I said I think it is possible but I could be wrong, I've never done it
anyway and it wouldn't be a really popular idea.'
So that sort of leaves you wanting a type-4 (pure Java driver for DBF). I think your choices at this point are:
1) Pay money. I believe there are non-free pure Java JDBC drivers for DBF. So you would have to pay money for it however outside of that this is probably the easiest solution and best fits everything else you've talked about.
2) Don't use JDBC for the DBF part. Like the link I posted earlier there do seem to be a few free open-source projects for reading and writing DBF files from Java. This plan though has the serious drawback that it will tie the database interaction code tightly to DBF and not be portable to another database.
3) Drop FoxPro.
So I think your customer needs to pick the option above that best meets the requirements.

ETL for Foxpro DBF files

Hello,
Could you please inform me whether there is any facility in OWB for importing old Foxpro DBF files?
We want to make a data warehouse from old Foxpro systems and there are terabytes of data in the foxpro dbf format(It would be big even after the first ETL). So I hope I don't have to use ODBC that could be slow and use something native instead that could be faster.
Thanks,
Reza
P.S we use Oracle 11g Release 2

Hi,
It will be an ETL process, I am not sure if there is anything like java or pl/sql package that can do this ETL, If it is not there then we have to develop it. I hoped OWB could have something for that, but seems there is nothing built-in in OWB for foxpro systems.
Thanks

Free JDBC driver for text files?

Hi!
Is anyone aware of a free JDBC driver for working on flat files (CSV or such)?

old, but has one,

Problem of creating FoxPro dbf file in Java

Hi all,
I tried to create a empty FoxPro dbf file with the following codes in Java:
sqlString = "create table mytable.dbf ( Name C(10) )"
queryStatement.execute( sqlString );
And it did create a "mytable.dbf" file. However, when I opened it with Excel, it said that it is not a recognizable format. If I continued to open it, I could only see some junks inside.
I am using Windows 2000 Pro and j2sdk 1.4.2. I also have Microsoft Visual FoxPro Driver installed. This works perfectly with SQL commands like SELECT and INSERT, but just doesn't work for CREATE. Does any body have a clue of what I should do? Thanks a lot!
Alex

You may want to get rid of the .dbf part in your create statement. Foxpro doesn't need that. It should be:
create table mytable(myfield c(10)), not create table mytable.dbf(myfield c(10)).
This may help. If people are using a recent version of Excel it should be able to open up foxpro tables...I do it all the time. What version of Foxpro are you running, and what version of the dbc driver for Foxpro are you using?

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
Warning: No procedures were found. Check your database.
Your replies are greatly appreciated.
Perry

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 driver for Microsoft Access

Hi, I have gone through the blogs and threads related to this topic. I found contradicting threads one saying we need to deploy Access JDBC driver and another saying no need to deploy JDBC driver for Access.
Integrate PI7.0 with MS Access 2003 Database - Says need to install driver for Access
Re: Problem when connecting to MS Access through JDBC Adapter. - Says no need to install driver for Access
I am now confused if I need to ask my Basis team to deploy driver for this. If some one has executed this scenario successfully, could you please confirm whether a driver needs to be installed or not. Also if it is required to install a driver, could you please let me know from where I can download the driver.
My PI version is 7.1 and Access version is MS Access 2007. PI is deployed on Linux.
Without asking for deploying driver I have configured scenario File->PI->Access and I am getting below error in my receiver JDBC communication channel.
"Message processing failed. Cause: com.sap.engine.interfaces.messaging.api.exception.MessagingException: Error when attempting to get processing resources: com.sap.aii.af.lib.util.concurrent.ResourcePoolException: Unable to create new pooled resource: DriverManagerException: Can not establish connection:: SAPClassNotFoundException: jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver";
Please suggest how to resolve this issue.
Regards, Prasad

Hi .
The format for Access 2007 is accdb . Are you using this format or MDB?
Anyway try this:
Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb, *.accdb)};Dbq=C:\Test\TestDB.accdb;Uid=Admin;Pwd=;

JDBC Driver for SQL Server 7

Is there a free JDBC Driver for SQL Server 7 available? If so, where? I created a server program that listens to a port and inserts records based on information it receives. It uses sun's JDBC:ODBC Bridge but it crashes randomly (sometimes weeks, sometimes days, sometimes hours after starting program). Each time it crashes it generates a error log file like this:

I think this error occurs because I'm using sun's JDBC:ODBC Bridge. I'm hoping that using a different driver will solve the problem.
Thanks,

I used Sun's jdbc odbc driver for a while, with no problems, with Sql Server 7. But anyways, if you want a free type 4 driver, you can get the freetds driver at

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

Error when SDM JDBC driver for Oracle

When deploying the JDBC driver for Oracle on PI 7.0, I failed to achive. I got the following trace information from SDM.
After checking the system directory structure, I found that very interesting thing. First I downloaded aii_af_jmsproviderlib.sda from the directory of ../SAP AG/0/3.0...and zip oracle jdbc driver into it, and I deployed the sda file with SDM back to the system with the option update deployed SDAs that hava any version. Curious the sda file was put into another directory of ../SAP AG/1/3.0... a new directory which was just created during the deployment.
This never happen before and is this the reason why deploy failed.

Jdbc drive for oracle7.3.4 is not working for me

I try have download the JDBC Driver for Oracle7.3 which is 'jdbc73402-nt.zip'. When I run my testing program, I got this error message 'Exception in thread "main" LinkError: no oci804jdbc in java.library.path'.
I have compared the contents of the two classesXXX.zip files with 'jdbc80406-nt.zip'. There is no diffence between classes102.zip. The creation dates of the files are differnt between the tow classes111.zip. However the number of files and and size of each file in the two classes111.zip files are all the some.
I have also download the JDBC drive for oracle 8.0.5 for my othere pc. I can run my testing program without any problem.
Could you tell me why the jdbc73402 is looking for oci804jdbc not oci73jdbc?
Thank you very much for your help.

Let's get your iPhone back up and running reeset12! My first recommendation is to try a soft reset by holding down the power and home keys. If the device doesn't respond, I recommend connecting it to a computer via the usb cable. If you are unable to get past the logo screen in either case, I recommend a hands on evaluation at a store location.

To change the JDBC driver for a single OC4J instance

Hello,
I implemeted an app with oracle adf (Jdeveloper 10.1.2 ) and it use Oracle Domain objects.
I have an oas 10g (9.04.1) in windows
and I want to change the default jdbc driver for a single oc4j instance
in metalink i found the following information:
1.- From OTN, download and copy the 10.1.0.x JDBC driver to a directory on the server. E.g OH/newjdbc
2.- Opening EM-Website, navigate to the OC4J instance that should be altered.
3.- Find the "Java-Options" and, add the -Xbootclasspath option to it, pointing to the new JDBC driver.
E.g. -Xbootclasspath/p:$OH/newjdbc/ojdbc14.jar
4.- Restart the OC4J instance
my 'Java-optios' default is
-server -Xrs -Djava.security.policy=C:\oracle\904\j2ee\test_adf\config\java2.policy -Djava.awt.headless=true
my new 'Java optios' now is
-server -Xrs -Djava.security.policy=C:\oracle\904\j2ee\test_adf\config\java2.policy -Djava.awt.headless=true -Xbootclasspath/p = D:\jdev1012\jdbc\lib\classes12.jar
is this correct?
now I cannot deploy my app
Rigoberto

Seems you missed something in step 3. From those steps the driver should be installed under C:\oracle\904\newjdbc and used in classpath, not d:\jdev1012.
