Problems with JDBC-ODBC Driver

Hello,
I am trying to access a DSN on my windows with a dedicated DB driver of some company. so i used the JDBC-ODBC connector.
when launching the java code, and debugging the problem i get the following error:
DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:priority32;UID=Manager;PWD=keren")
    trying driver--className=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver,com.mysql.jdbc.Driver@16caf43--
    trying driver--className=sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver,sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver@66848c--

thank you very much

oh now i understand.
i got a very unknown company which supplied the ODBC driver, but they dont have java driver...
so I have nothing to do about it?The choices are find a different driver or use the one you have.
The one you have doesn't do batches.
Finding a different driver could involve the following.
- Buying one from somewhere else
- Pay someone to write one.
- Write a driver yourself.
All of those are somewhat dependent that the "unknown company" has an API that supports that. You (or someone) could also figure out the file format of the "unknown company" as well and then write one.

Problem with JDBC ODBC connectivity

I am trying to connect to MS access database with jsp page. This is sample from my js page :
String SUN_DRIVER = "sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver";
Class.forName(SUN_DRIVER);
String aDataSourceName = "puneet";
String url = "jdbc:odbc:" + aDataSourceName;
Connection con;
con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:puneet","","");
The last line gives me the follwoing error :
[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified
puneet is name of my datasource and it points to my .mbd file.
I dont have anyusername or passwords for this daatsource.
I am using Tomcat/4.1.18-LE and jdk1.4
I have also added rt.jar in the classpath
pls help
pg4

Hi pg4,
May be your dsn is not pointing to .mdb file. Check it by putting your mdb file right where your code is and then user following syntax which is called dsn-less connection. It helps you to connect to the target mdb file with out any need of dsn.
String url = "jdbc:odbc:;Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ=yourDBFile.mdb";

Problem with jdbc:odbc returning incorrect number of rows.

Hello,
Am sure i have done something stupid, but i have an issue with jdbc:odbc ....
It is a simple sceanrio that i have coded umpteen times before ...
I have the following ....
1. Connection to DB2 on an IBM i5 (I apologise for not using native drivers from jt400.jar, but i had an ODBC code example and was in a rush - no excuse i know)
2. Statement object created from connection above
3. A string with my SQL in it
4. A result set for the results.
These are created as follows:
Class.forName( "sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
con = DriverManager.getConnection(ODBCSource, userID, password);
if (con == null) {
// error handling not relevant here
} else {
Statement s = con.createStatement(ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE, ResultSet.CONCUR_UPDATABLE);
String SQL = "select * from table";
ResultSet rs = s.executeQuery(SQL);
i then try to loop ....
while (rs.next() )
// stuff
however, i only ever get one result .... if i stick in the check for isLast, the first loop hits this check, i get my little status message, and the loop ends.
while (rs.next() )
if (rs.isLast() )
System.out.println("I am on last record");
BUT if i run the SQL
"select count(*) from table" ... i get a count of 148 !!
I tried setting the FetchSize through setFetchSize(), but made no difference.
This is running on a JBoss server 4.2.1GA, JDK is "jdk1.6.0_02" .... i have a suspicion that this may be a JBoss specfic issue, as this exact code runs just fine on the Domino platform that it was originally on, if this is the case, i apologise for wasting everyones time .... but would still appreciate any pointers you can give me.
Cheers

Hello,
Thanks for the reply, I am not sure i follow what you are saying.
I only mentioned JBoss as it is the application server that we have deployed to and because the orignal code ran fine on a Domino server, I will take your advice and try to run it through in debug rather than running actually on the application server.
Am i incorrect in my assumption that if "select count(*) from table" gives a count of 148, i should expect 148 records in a result set created from "select * from table" ? This is all rather new to me so i apologise if this is incorrect, I'd love to know why this is incorrect so i dont make similar mistakes in future.
Also, If i run this same code on the previous platform, i get 148 iterations of the code contained within
while (rs.next() ) { ... }
When the war file is deployed to JBoss, the same SQL statement gives a result set that only iterates once for
while (rs.next() ) { ... }
The previous platform as I say was domino, but it was running as a lotus notes java agent (despite not using any notes documents etc) as it happened to be where the web pages that call this process were located. It is possible that some of the main code has changed as I had cut and paste the code into a servlet using MyEclipse, but i have double checked the bit that does this SQL request and it is identical
To complete the picture, the new servelt is then called from the action tag on the submit form on a JSP, when it ends the servlet redirects via the requestdispacher to success or failure jsp pages depending on the outcome of the processing.
Thank you again for your help.

Im really stuck!!! any suggestions? thanks in advance

Thank you for your response and sorry for the length
of code,
Thats was my first idea that it was asking for
or something I dont have but I checked my database and
I dont have any unusually large data entries (most
between 8-15 letters, the others are numbers) could it
be something wrong with how I've entered the database
in MsAccess, or am i barking up the wrong tree again!
Many thanks
RobI think you've misunderstood me. This has nothing to do with unusually large data entries, but rather the opposite. You are wrongly expecting data that is shorter than you think. When you call rs.getString(i) to retrieve a column value of a field, and you only want the first 5 characters in the column (instead of 10 or whatever the column size is), you would do something similar to the following:
String column_value = rs.getString(1).subtstring(0,5);The above expects a String that is at least 5 characters. Your problem is when your column value returned is less than the specified substring index ( in this case 5 ) it will throw an exception. If you changed your code to this, the error will not occur:
String column_value = rs.getString( 1 ).subtstring( 0, 5);
if ( column_value.length() > 5 )
column_value = column_value.substring( 0, 5 );

Newbie: Problem with jdbc-odbc and MS SQL server 2005

I'm on win vistax64 with SQLSERVER 2005 and I have set up the odbc source as system dsn using the SQL Native Client driver with SQL authentication and the connectivity test in the end succeeds.
I'm trying to make a simple web app that will connect to the database and perform simple querries. It's a school assignment.
I'm using the jdbc-odbc bridge because it's the simplest way to do it and it's what we were shown in class.
I get the following irritating error:
"Cannot establish a connection to jdbc:odb:sstmdb using sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver ([Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specifies)".
I'm working with netbeans 5.5.1 and this error is what I get when in the runtime tab I try to connect with the jdbc-odbc. I get a similar error in the logs when I try to run the app on the j2ee server.
This is the java class that establishes the connection.
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.SQLException;
public class Connector {
    private static final String dbUrl="jdbc:odbc:sstmdb";
    private static final String user="kimon";
    private static final String password="jackohara";
    public static Connection getConnection(){
        Connection conn = null;
        try {
            Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
            conn = DriverManager.getConnection(dbUrl,user,password);
        } catch (SQLException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        return conn;
}It has worked perfectly on my school PC with winXP and MSDE2000.
What am I missing?

Ok, help came from an other way where I was inquiring about a different problem:
Connectivity works fine by using User DSN instead of System DSN for the ODBC source.

Problem With Jdbc-Odbc BRidge Connection

here's your mistake:

Problem with JDBC-ODBC bridge

OS in my PC is Windows7 Ultimate(64-bit), and I had JDK1.7.0_21(compatible with my PC), Oracle 10G ExpressEdition(32-Bit), ApacheTomcat7.0.11(compatible with my PC).
As my OS is 64-BIT, I accessed C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32 and I selected UserDSN tab->Add->Microsoft ODBC for Oracle->finish,tapply->ok. Then a Dialog Box appeared and I entered a DSN name=ramsdsn and my DATABASE USERID=rams in username->ok->apply->ok.
But when I tried to compile my program using:
DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:ramsdsn","rams","rams");
I got an error:java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] The specified DSN contains an architecture mismatch between the Driver and Application
Help me FRNZ.. I have been trying it for 7 days and I'm tired of it and I could not figured it yet...
THANKS in Advance...

Wrong database is the most likely reason.
Note that the ODBC driver is not a good driver for MS SQL Server. It handles varchar as chars. So an insert of 'A' into a varchar(25) will end up with 'A' followed by 24 spaces. And that probably isn't what you want your varchars to do.

Problems with jdbc thin driver (Euro Symbol)

Hello,
at the moment it is impossible for me to write or read euro characters to a database using a jdbc thin driver.
I am using
ojdbc14.jar (version 10.2.0.3.0) and orai18n.jar (also) together with JDK 1.4.2.
Charset of the database is WE8MSWIN1252. It does not work on ORACLE 9.2.0.1, 9.2.0.6 and 10.2.0.2.0 (others I have not tried). But the problem seams to be in thin client.
Inserting Eurosymbols using a PreparedStatement works quite well. Using a normal Statement does not work.
Also the values getting from a ResultSet are incorrect.
After several test I downloaded a patch 4659157 for ojdbc14.jar and 5470375 for orai18n.jar. After installing the patch the euro characters were returned, but:
In several selects of numeric fields (not all, seams to be random) my resultset returned the Euro character instead of 0 and so on.
Driver for 9.2 works quite well, but does not support 10g Release 2 (and contains also some funny bugs)
Following solutions are not suitable for us:
Changing the character set of the database (come on, this cannot be serious. I cannot change the character set of more than 100 databases)
Using the newest driver (ORACLE 11). We are still using JAVA 1.4.2 and cannot migrate our application at the moment.
Using an oci client. Not possible, no ORACLE client on clients...
Has anyone an idea how to deal with this?
Does anyone know when ORACLE is going to release a new jdbc driver for JAVA 1.4.2 (maybe 10.2.0.4.) ??
Regards,
Christian

Just installed PATCH 4659157 and 5470375 from metalink. The Euro problem seams to be corrected.
BUT:
Another problem occurred. Sometimes numeric values are returned wrong (0 from a numeric field comes as euro, 1 comes as Á (2 and 3 too).
This error seams to be random to me.
Our application is selecting a rowid from a table and after that fills several textfields in a frame by selecting the content in a way like this:
select [column1] from [table] where rowid=[rowid]
select [column2] from [table] where rowid=[rowid]
if I select the numeric column with select nr. 77 I get a wrong value. If I select it at nr. 10 I get the correct value.
The selects are done by a normal Statement object creating a ResultSet. The Value from the ResultSet is fetched by getObject() method.
I also tried to write a test program executing only the selects of the application, but it gives me correct results.
Also when selecting all the fields in one select I get a correct result.
Using a different charset than WE8MSWIN1252 seams to give correct results. Using the OCI driver returns correct results.
Using ojdbc14.jar and orai18n.jar Release 10.2.0.3. unpatched produces the same error (and does not return Euro symbols)
Using ojdbc14.jar and orai18n.jar Release 10.2.0.2. returns correct results (but wrong Euro)
Has anyone had the same problem yet?
Regards,
Christian

Do_open() problem with JDBC oci8 driver

I am using the JDBC-OCI driver for NT (jdbc817jdk12-nt.zip). I get a 'unresolved link error': do_open() exception stack trace when I connect to the Oracle 8i DB. I can connect successfully via SQLPlus to the same. I have Oracle 8.1.7 client installed on the system. I also have my PATH pointing to the ORACLE_HOME/bin directory where the ocijdbc8.dll is located.
Prelimnary analysis shows that the driver's Java layer is not finding the method do_open() in the .dll via JNI.
How do I resolve this?. Thanks.

Hi Balakris;
I am experiencing the same problem with OCI8. Since you posted your message over 2 weeks ago I am hoping you have solved the problem. If so could you add the solution to this topic?
Thanks

Has anybody had any problems with the ODBC driver version 10.2.0.2.0?

Hi,
I have experienced a problem with my current version of the ODBC driver (version 10.1.0.2) and have been advised to upgrade to the newest version 10.2.0.2.0.
As the driver was only released a couple of months ago, I am a bit wary about upgrading. Has anybody out there had any issues with the reliability of this driver or does it seem to be pretty stable?
Thanks very much,
Caroline

Sorry, forgot to mention it is on linux.
Setting SetJavaHome in the jdev.conf did not help.
I did find a way to at least start the IDE though.
Either comment out SetJavaVM in the jdev.conf or start jdev with the -client option
Also to note:
I downloaded the jdk 1.4.2 32 bit for x86 and i can't get jdev to start:
current locale is not supported in X11, locale is set to CX locale modifiers are not supported, using defaultjava.lang.InternalError: Current locale is not supported

at sun.awt.motif.MWindowPeer.init(MWindowPeer.java:97)
at sun.awt.motif.MFramePeer.<init>(MFramePeer.java:58)
So right now i'll try to hack it with j2se 5...

Problem with Oracle ODBC Driver on Windows 7

Hi,
Please help with this problem I have with a Windows 7 machine. I have installed Oracle Client 11g on my Windows 7 machine but when I want to create an ODBC Data Source, I cant find any driver for oracle. How can I resolve this issue? I need the data source for an application to work and I cant figure out what is happening. Someone please help!

There's a dedicated Oracle ODBC forum:
ODBC
As this forum deals with connections from Oracle to foreign data stores it would be better to close this thread and post it again in the ODBC forum.

Hi there,
I am using oracle client of version 8.1.5 and jdk1.2.2, classes12.zip in the classpath of my NT.
I can able to establish the database connectivity using thin driver..
But for Oci driver, it is not working..
I have given piece of code below.
Class.forName
"oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
Connection conn =
DriverManager.getConnection ("jdbc:oracle:oci8:@netlink","hris8","hris8");
netlink is TNSentry in TNSnames.ora
I am getting Dr.Watson error and which is saying that access violation error..
null

Thanks for your reply,
So i need to install oralce client version

The real problem is that you didn't specify the name of the driver correctly. However, it may not be a typographic mistake. You've made a few other errors in the logic of the code so it's difficult to see exactly what's going on.
For "small" programs, people typically put the driver loading, and the connection making routines in the same function. The only time we split them is if we plan to implement connection pooling, or if we are setting this up as a Servlet/JSP page. See the following code sippet.
Oh, incidently, you don't need to call newInstance();.
Second, it helps if you don't do a blanket catch. This way you can determine whether it's the driver that's bad, or if the database is refusing connections.
I would suggest trying:
try {
 Class.forName("com.jnetdirect.jsql.JSQLDriver");
 Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection( jdbc:JSQLConnect://devserver/conn?DSN=seanmccarrick;Database=SeanMcCarrick;uid=sa;pwd=" );
 System.out.println( "Success!" );
 return connection;
} catch ( ClassNotFoundException cnfe ) {
 System.err.println( "Error loading driver: " + cnfe );
} catch ( SQLException sqle ) {
 System.err.println( "Error connecting: " + sqle );
}On further reflection, I've just realized I made a mistake too. So I will fall back on the best advice I've ever received - copy this part of the code directly out of a book or the Java Tutorial site. Don't try to get fancy. :)

I have a problem with JDBC Realm in Tomcat/Oracle/Win XP

I have a problem with JDBC Realm in Tomcat.
I have attached my server.xml file located in the
C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\conf\server.xml
The Problem is that when I login I get the user name and password prompt but it does not resolve.
When I enter in the tomcat-users.xml password with memory realm uncommented it works fine.
C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\conf\tomcat-users.xml
Is there a cache or something I need to reset for the JDBC Realm to work?
I have attached my tables and contents as well...
Did I miss something????
Thanks

Problem with JDBC Comm Channel from UNIX PI Installation.

Dear Gurus:
Inside a standard scenario, we have a receiver comm channel which use JDBC adapter type to connect to a MS Access remote database.
The database connection is made like this:
JDBC Driver: sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver
Connection: jdbc:odbc:Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=//10.96.0.10/c$/app/appdb.mdb
Working from a Windows 2003 PI installation, everything works fine..
But we recently have finished a Heterogeneous migration from Windows 2003 + SQL server to UNIX AIX + Oracle servers and that particular interface does not work anymore.
Is there a way to connect to a MS Access from inside a UNIX PI installation..? Is there a native JDBC or ODBC driver that we can use to fix our problem...?
Waiting for your help. Best regards.
Eduardo.

Hi,
In the JDBC receiver CC, Advanced-->Advanced Mode, use poolWaitingTime and taskTimeout parameters and specify
some time using seconds.
