Regarding MS Access Database details....

Hi,
I am working on RFC to JDBC interface. Currently my Database tables are not created, so planning to do testing on MS Access database. While creating JDBC communication channel, it is asking JDBC driver and Connection details. Could you please provide me the above said details.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
sai.

Hi,
For JDBC you first need to install the JDBC drivers on XI:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/3867a582-0401-0010-6cbf-9644e49f1a10
Search on SDN with JDBC adapter will give you the details of the parameter.
Refer the below web log:

Regarding File to JDBC/MS Access database

Hi all,
I am trying to insert some values in to MS access database table.I kept the .mdb file in the local PI folder.I am getting connection error
com.sap.aii.af.service.util.concurrent.ResourcePoolException: Unable to create new pooled resource: DriverManagerException: Cannot establish connection to URL 'jdbc:odbc:Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=//test/data/input/Employee.mbd': SAPClassNotFoundException: jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver
i have given the configuration as:
JDBC Driver: jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver
Connection: jdbc:odbc:Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=//test/data/input/Employee.mbd
Please give me some pointers.
Regards,
Anika

Hi Anika,
Also please check for :
You can set the configuration as following:-
JDBC Driver : sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver
Connection : jdbc:odbc:Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ= Full Path of DB file;
eg of full path:D:\USERS\Employee\employee.mdb
Please go through these steps: (Assuming you are working on Windows)
1) An ODBC driver for your database must be installed on the Windows computer running the application server.
Check if there's an ODBC driver for MS Acess on the application Server.
2) To connect through an ODBC driver, you must install the Sun JDBC-ODBC Bridge driver on the Windows computer running the application server. The driver comes with the Sun Java 2 SDK, Standard Edition, for Windows.
Also there is another point.
sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver
This driver is a part of the JDK kit and so, you need not install the driver on your XI server. Check the SAP Note JDBC FAQ for this info.
3)Define a DSN on the Windows system hosting your application server.
4)These parameters you need to give while configuring the JDBC receiver adapter channel

Why is the Microsoft Office Access Database Engine data source looking for a workgroup information file?

While trying to import to MSSQL2012 from SSDT using the wizard from an Access 2013 DB (.accdb) which is password protected, I get the following error with the username blank and the password field correctly populated:
Cannot start your application. The workgroup information file is missing or opened exclusively by another user. (MicrosoftOffice Access Database Engine)
But according to this link:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/access-help/what-happened-to-user-level-security-HA010342116.aspx
MSA10 and beyond shouldn't need workgroup information files, although it's not clear to me if they are
created/used or not.
I can point the wizard to some local version of system.mdw at Advanced -> All -> Jet OLEDB:System Database, and then the error becomes:
Not a valid account name or password. (Microsoft Office Access Database Engine)
for any username I can think of.
Questions:
1. Why does this data source insist on looking for a workgroup information file even though user-level security should be disabled?
2. Why does the Open dialog box for the Microsoft Access Database Engine have *.mdb as the only selectable filetype?
3. How can I get around these errors for an .accdb that is password protected?
Thanks!

Hi JordanPG,
To connect to Access 2007 or later database, we need the Microsoft ACE 12.0 OLE DB driver. SQL Server only installs the Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB driver which can be used to connect to Access 2003 or earlier database. Besides, the Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB
driver only has 32-bit version, but the Microsoft ACE 12.0 OLE DB driver has both 32-bit and 64-bit version. However, the 32-bit and 64-bit Microsoft ACE 12.0 OLE DB drivers cannot be installed on a single server.
According to your description, you can use the 64-bit SQL Server Import and Export Wizard to load data from the Access database, so the 64-bit Microsoft ACE 12.0 OLE DB driver is installed on your computer. Since the BIDS/SSDT is a 32-bit application, the
64-bit Microsoft ACE 12.0 OLE DB Provider is not visible in BIDS/SSDT. So, when you said that you select “Microsoft Access (Microsoft Access Database Engine)" in the SQL Server Import and Export Wizard (it is actually the 32-bit version) started by the SSDT,
I think it should be “Microsoft Access (Microsoft Jet Database Engine)”. Because the Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB driver only supports Access 2003 or earlier format, it threw the error “Test connection failed because of an error in initializing provider. Unrecognized
database format 'C:\myDB.accdb'”.
In this situation, you have two approaches to avoid this issue:
Launch the SQL Server Import and Export Wizard (64-bit), and select “Save SSIS Package” to “File System” on the “Save and Run Package” page. Then, the package will be saved to a specified directory. After that, you can add this existing package to a SSIS
project. The status of the corresponding OLE DB Connection Manager should be Work Offline, or the OLE DB Source will throw an error about 32-bit driver if the Connection Manager is not in Work Offline status, you can ignore that and the package can run successfully
in SSDT as long as the project is set to run in 64-bit runtime mode.
However, for the SSDT 2012 integrated with Visual Studio 2012, the 64-bit runtime mode is disabled. In this situation, to run the package in SSDT, you have to uninstall the 64-bit Microsoft ACE 12.0 OLE DB drivers and install the 32-bit one. Here is the

Update Access database via OleDB from DataGridView

I have been scouring these forums and the internet in general as well as doing a lot of reading, all to no avail. I can not seem to successfully update the Access database from an edited DataGridView. I am trying to use Stored Procedures that
are in the Access database and work fine therein. The DGV is filled in properly. I have tried an ever-increasing number of variants to update the database (Private Sub BtnUpdate...) without success. I'd really, really appreciate some
guidance here.
Here is my code thus far:
Public Class Form1
   Dim con As OleDbConnection
   Dim cmd As OleDbCommand
   Dim da As OleDbDataAdapter
   Dim ds As DataSet
   Dim ProviderConnectionString As String = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source="
   Dim TargetList As String = "C:\Users\Administrator\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\Development5\Test.mdb"
   Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
   'establish a connection to the database
   con = New OleDbConnection(ProviderConnectionString & TargetList)
   con.Open()
   'define the command to be used
   cmd = New OleDbCommand
   cmd.Connection = con
   cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
   cmd.CommandText = "ListAllTargets"
    'create the data adapter based on the command
   da = New OleDbDataAdapter(cmd)
   'fill the data set based on the command
   ds = New DataSet
   da.Fill(ds, "AllTargets")
   'bind and load dgvTargets with the data
   dgvTargetList.DataSource = ds.Tables("AllTargets") ' Binding to dgvtargetlist
   End Sub
   Private Sub btnUpdate_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnUpdate.Click
    da.UpdateCommand = New OleDbCommand("UPDATE TargetList SET;", con)
   Validate()
   da.Update(ds.Tables("AllTargets"))
   Me.ds.AcceptChanges()
   End Sub
End Class

Hi John,
Welcome to MSDN forums!
Cor pointed you to the right direction. An OleDBCommandbuilder object is required, which can be used to automatically
generate DeleteCommand, UpdateCommand and InsertCommand for DataAdapter object.
Here is detailed walkthrough: How to update
(Insert/Update/Delete) data back into MS Access database from DataGridView.
1) New a WinForms project, drag&drop DataGridView1 and Button1 onto
Form1.
2) Add database file test.mdb to project via: Data menu -> Add New Data Source
Wizard ... then you can use ralative path to this database file in code
3) Select/click
your database file test.mdb in Solution Explorer
-> Properties Pane
-> change the "copy to ouput directory" to "copy
if newer"
4) Code sample
Imports System.Data.OleDb
Public
Class Form1
Dim myDA As OleDbDataAdapter
Dim myDataSet As DataSet
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender
As System.Object, ByVal e
As System.EventArgs) Handles
MyBase.Load
Dim con As OleDbConnection =
New OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.jet.oledb.4.0;data source=|DataDirectory|\test.mdb") ' Use relative path to database file
Dim cmd As OleDbCommand =
New OleDbCommand("SELECT * FROM Table1", con)
con.Open()
myDA = New OleDbDataAdapter(cmd)
'Here one CommandBuilder object is required.
      'It will automatically generate DeleteCommand,UpdateCommand and InsertCommand for DataAdapter object
Dim builder As OleDbCommandBuilder =
New OleDbCommandBuilder(myDA)
myDataSet = New DataSet()
myDA.Fill(myDataSet, "MyTable")
DataGridView1.DataSource = myDataSet.Tables("MyTable").DefaultView
con.Close()
con = Nothing
End Sub
' Save data back into database
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender
As System.Object, ByVal e
As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Me.Validate()
Me.myDA.Update(Me.myDataSet.Tables("MyTable"))
Me.myDataSet.AcceptChanges()
End Sub
End
Class

How to Protect your Custom Access Database Product - so that you can sell & distribute it?

I'm looking for an update on this topic as I have been away from Access for a couple of years and have not kept up with the latest.
Hopefully they have made it easier to design, develop, sell and distribute custom database solutions. So here goes...
Question A:
If one develops a custom database product with Access 2013 what is the current best way to...
1 - Prevent it from being (too easily) copied
2 - Prevent it from being (too easily) reverse engineered
3 - Prividing a time limited free demo copy?
4 - Providing a demo copy with limited functionality... like limiting the number of records in an important table, or whatever?
5 - What have I left out of this list that should be considered for protecting ones investment in the development of the product? (other than copyright, of course.)
Question B:
What is the latest on being able to migrate an Access database to the cloud?
1 - Entirely online
2 - Part in the cloud and part on the users machine
3 - And what about all that VBA code - is there no way to make that work in the cloud and/or on a web server... or does it all have to be tossed and all the coding redone?
Question C:
What are other alternatives solutions for selling your custom database application while protecting all your investment in developing it?
1 - Write the front end in C++ (so that it is fully compiled) and the back end in ASP with MS SQL Server? (or alternative server side solutions)
2 - Write the whole thing as a server side solution with browser interface?
3 - Or what?
Thanks for any help.

Hi Fran_3,
>>What is the latest on being able to migrate an Access database to the cloud?
In my option, the Access Web app would be a better choise.
Regards,
Tony

Unable to Publish Access database to SharePoint site in 2013

I have a user requesting to publish access (2007/2010) web database into SharePoint 2013. I am able to publish this database on all sites under one site collection (test) but fails on the other site (different site collection). I have compared site collection

Hi MK,
According to your description, my understanding is that you got an error when you published Access database to SharePoint 2013.
Please deactivate SharePoint Server Enterprise Site Collection features at site collection level and deactivate SharePoint Server Enterprise Site features at site level, then activate them again, compare the result.
Per the error message, please type a value in the ‘Name’ filed, then publish the table, compare the result.
In addition, here is a similar article, please check whether it is useful for you:

I hope this helps.

DW Procedures to connect to MS ACCESS database located on remote server

I am confused about the procedures within Dreamweaver CS3 to connect to a MS ACCESS database on a remoter server.
I am working through a tutorial book, "Dreamweaver 8 with ASP, Cold Fusion and PHP Training from the Source", but the instructions are unclear concerning the procedures to connect to a MS ACCESS database located on a remote server.
The book indicates that the server administration has to create the DSN for you and screen shots indicate that you will result in a list of DSNs to choose from when creating the connections .asp file.
I went through the procedures to create a connections .asp and resulting in a connection without and tables (of course) because I do not initially have any connection information from my remote site.
I have generated the required two lines of code as follows for my MS ACCESS database connection on my remote server:
'Database connection info and provider
strCon="Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source="&_
Server.MapPath("database\trans.mdb") & ";" &_
"User ID=xxx;Password=xxxxx"
The question that I have is:
How does this connection coding relate to the "connections/conn_newland.asp" file that was create within the Dreamweaver screens? How do I merge the ASP coding? The file (/connections/conn_newland.asp) generated within Dreamweaver is as follows:
<%
'FileName="Connection_odbc_conn_dsn.htm"
'Type="ADO"
'DesignationType="ADO"
'HTTP="true"
'Catelog=" "
'Schema
Dim MM_conn_newland_STRING
MM_conn_newland_STRINT = "dsn=newland;"
%>
Any advice would be appreciated. I know that this is simple but debugging an error from an ASP coding merge would be a "bear" to debug!

I have not used MS Access myself (fortunately) but I believe it works much like the old, old way of achieving a multi-user database in FileMaker.
That is, it is not a true client-server database but more a peer-to-peer database and that each peer opens the same database file which is available to multiple user via file sharing. Therefore as elikness said it should just be a matter of putting the files on your Lion Server and then sharing that folder/volume using SMB sharing.
However one thing to be aware of, since MS Access is not a true client-server database I would imagine it uses record locking to manage simultaneous direct access to records in the same files. File or Record locking is something that has historically been a bit flakey when using Windows clients with a Mac file server (and probably vice versa).
While I am not proposing it as a solution to consider seriously, it is worth you knowing that FileMaker Pro is a database system that is available for both Mac and Windows and depending on how you configure things can be considered to stretch from a configuration very similar to MS Access at the low end all the way to a high-end MS SQL Server style setup at the top end. See http://www.filemaker.com for details.
There is also a a third-party tool available for migrating databases to or from FileMaker Pro and it can convert MS Access databases to FileMaker Pro see http://www.fmpromigrator.com/
You could use FileMaker Pro just on Windows machines if you wish.

Open an Access database from ASP on the Windows 2008 32-bit server

We are upgrading to a Windows 2008 server. The ASP application opens an Access database with this code:
Set oConn=Server.CreateObject("ADODB.connection")
  oConn.Open "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; Data Source=E:\webdata\applications\po\sfisnet\sfisnet.mdb;"
The open statement causes this error:
       Number: -2147217887
       Description: Multiple-step OLE DB operation generated errors. Check each OLE DB
       status value, if available. No work was done.
       Source: Microsoft JET Database Engine
       SQL State:
       Native Error: 0
Research includes:
- ODBC drivers
- verified that the ms jet dll is present: msjet40.dll, msjet35.dll
- IIS settings reviewed
- permission and sharing on the directory and "sfisnet.mdb" database
- verifies thet OLEDB_SERVICES is in the registry

They'll help you over here.

SQL Query with MS-Access Database

Hi,
I have linked my oracle database with MS-Access via a DB LINK. i can access the data from MS-ACCESS, but i have a problem that when i specify the column name or define a where clause in my query it gives me the error ORA-00904: invalid identfier ..
This query fetch the data without any problem SELECT * FROM TBLREPORT@M_ACCESS but when i run SELECT EMP_ID FROM TBLREPORT@M_ACCESS it gives me the error i mentioned above. (Column name have No problem or mistake of spelling even CASE)
also when i try to put where clause in the query it gives me same error SELECT * FROM TBLREPORT@M_ACCESS WHERE EMP_ID = '100' (Error)
is there any change in SQL query for ACCESS database ??
any clue
Regards
Rehman

Are column/table names in access case sensitive? Issue
DESC TBLREPORT@M_ACCESS If column EMP_ID actual name shows up in mixed/lower case, enclose it in double quotes and use the exact case. E.g., if column name shows up as Emp_Id, use:
SELECT "Emp_Id" FROM TBLREPORT@M_ACCESSSY.

Is it possible to Install the 64-bit Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 if we are running Microsoft Office 2010 32-bit?

So we are running Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010, Version 14.0.7015.1000
(32-bit)
This is what is installed via our Network and Network licensing.
I am trying, in vain, to read and write a .xlsx file via a C# Edit Script in a SSIS Package. And I have tried using...
string StringConnection = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=" + sourceFile + ";Extended Properties=\"Excel 12.0;HDR=Yes;IMEX=1\"";
And this tells me that this has not been installed. So when I go and try and get the Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 64-bit, which would allow me to use Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0 and allow me to read, write, and process this .xlsx file, it tells me
I cannot install it because I already have 32-bit installed and it wants me to un-install Microsoft Office 2010. Why? Because it is 32-bit? And I can't do that because this is what we have and what we're licensed for and from what I've read seems to be the
industry standard because most software vendors are ill equipped to process 64-bit right now.
So my question is this...How can I use a C# Edit Script to read and process a .xlsx file? Because if I try using...
string StringConnection = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" + sourceFile + ";Extended Properties=\"Excel 8.0;HDR=Yes;IMEX=1\"";
It then tells me that the file is not in that format.
Please excuse me for asking this question in a couple of different ways out here but I cannot for the life of me seem to be able to get an answer as to how I can process a .xlsx file with a C# script and which driver to use that will make this work.
Thanks for your review and am hopeful for a reply.
ITBobbyP85

Hi ITBobby85,
If the excel version in the Connection Manager is Microsoft Excel 2010 (.xlsx), we should use Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB provider.
We can't install 32bit and 64bit parts of office on the same machine. We will get an error as you said when we run the installer to install the 64bit version of the Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable in the machine where a 32bit version
of Microsoft Office installed. To fix this issue, please download and install the 32bit version of the Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable with the link below:

MS Project - can you merge from a spreadsheet/access database based on task names?

I'm wondering if it's possible to import data on certain tasks from a spreadsheet or access database. I know you can import tasks and append them, but I was hoping to:
- Match a task name with the task name on the spreadsheet/access database
- Update that task in MS project with information/fields in the spreadsheet/access database
Can this be done? Thanks.

Hi,
In regarding the issue, my understanding is that you want to use Excel spreadsheet as database for the Project.
I recommend you develop an import map that includes the key fields. Please refer to the link and do it step by step:

Please Note: Since the web site is not hosted by Microsoft, the link may change without notice. Microsoft does not guarantee the accuracy of this information.
If I misunderstanding something, please let me know and upload some sample about the Excel spreadsheet.

I need to pass data from an Access database to Teststand by using the built in Data step types(open data

base /open SQL Statement etc) the first time i defined the system everything was fine but when i changed the Database (using M.S.Access) the " open SQL Statement" it would show the tables but not thier columns ,I"m using win98 sec edition / Teststand 1.0.1i need to pass data from an Access database to Teststand by using the built in Data step types(open database /open SQL Statement etc) the first time i defined the system everything was fine but when i changed the Database (using M.S.Access) the " open SQL Statement" it would show the tables but not thier columns ,I"m using win98 sec edition / Teststand 1.0.1
When I tried the same thing on another cmputer the same thing
happend
appreiciate u"r help

base /open SQL Statement etc) the first time i defined the system everything was fine but when i changed the Database (using M.S.Access) the " open SQL Statement" it would show the tables but not thier columns ,I"m using win98 sec edition / Teststand 1.0.1Hello Kitty -
Certainly it is unusual that you can still see the tables available in your MS Access database but cannot see the columns? I am assuming you are configuring an Open Statement step and are trying to use the ring-control to select columns from your table?
Can you tell me more about the changes you made to your file when you 'changed' it with MS Access? What version of Access are you using? What happens if you try and manually type in an 'Open Statement Dialog's SQL string such as...
"SELECT UUT_RESULT.TEST_SOCKET_INDEX, UUT_RESULT.UUT_STATUS, UUT_RESULT.START_DATE_TIME FROM UUT_RESULT"
Is it able to find the columns even if it can't display them? I am worried that maybe you are using a version of MS Access that is too new for the version of TestSt
and you are running. Has anything else changed aside from the file you are editing?

Getting the table names in an MS Access database

Hi,
I am new to JDBC and making a client/server application that updates a MS Access database through jdbc:odbc.
I need to get a list of existing user tables in the db. I have found a great document on the net which has the code, however the code doesn't work. I have tried different ways and looked every where with no success. (link to the doco: http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/library/j-jdbc-objects/)
Here is my dbManager class that handles all db related services in my application. I would appreciate any help I can get as I have exhusted all my avenues.
Thanks

I find that taking any problem and reducing it to the simplest thing is the best way to approach it.
Why you had to post all that bloody code (especially since you didn't write it) is beyond me.

}Run it and see if it works for you. If it does, put the essence of the code into your stuff.

Creating a new access database using JDBC

Hi Forum,
I have a problem in hand. Let me describe the problem:
I want to create an "access database" from java at runtime. "Access database" is file based, so for a database named test, it will have a file test.mdb.
Now, everything's sweet and wonderful, if somebody creates an "empty access database" at the client machine and i then connect to it and create the tables i require.
But the issue is i want to create the database at runtime (the database name and tables are determined at runtime).
Using the JDBC:ODBC bridge driver , i am able to connect to an existing database, but any "create database" statements are not supported.
A last ditch solution would be that i create an empty database using access and copy the file contents in the SQL server database as a a blob object. Then when i want to create a new access database at runtime, i create a file in a particular folder , with an .mdb
extension, copy the file contents from the SQL server (i also have an SQL server connection) BLOB object, and then try to connect to the
.mdb file.
But this approach seems a "quick hack" and can have problems (which i can't see as of now).
Can you suggest a better alternative for the problem.
See the Java Sun forum at this address for a discussion of a similar problem, but sadly with no solution.
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=31&threadID=484731

I have an applet that was previously connected to Oracle 9i. I am faced with connecting to MS Access temporarily for testing purposes.
I have been unable to successfully code connection in java. I have set up the DSN and can access in SQL Worksheet in JDev.
I saw your question regarding creating an access db, and thought you might be so kind as to help me code the connection to access!!!!
Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated. I have a huge application to finish with alot of sqlj already completed. Connectivity is not my area of expertise!
Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated!!!
I am not sure if I have to use bridge? Am I progressing in right direction to migrating to SQL Server if need be?

Regarding MS Access Database details....
