SetLong () Error in MS Access

Question

Hi,
I'm using JDBC-ODBC driver to access MS Access tables.
(Earlier when it was based on MySQL, it was running fine).
While running the program, I get error:
getEmployeeName: Prepare Statement Error ...
java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver]Optional feature
not implemented
at sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbc.createSQLException(Unknown Source)
at sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbc.standardError(Unknown Source)
at sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbc.SQLBindInParameterBigint(Unknown Source)
at sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcPreparedStatement.setLong(Unknown Source)
I think the problem lies with setLong().
My code has following:
try {
pstmt.setLong     (1, empno);
catch (NumberFormatException nex) {
     System.out.println("getEmployeeName: Invalid number" + empno);
     nex.printStackTrace();
catch (SQLException ex1) {
     System.out.println("getEmployeeName: Prepare Statement Error ...");
     ex1.printStackTrace();
How to resolve it? Why this code is running fine on MySQL and not in MS Access?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Rajeev.

Answer 1

I ran into this problem recently, and solved it with setBigDecimal() which does seem to be supported by the JDBC-ODBC bridge.
So my code went from something like this:
pst.setLong( 1, doc.id );
To something like this:
pst.setBigDecimal( 1, BigDecimal.valueOf(doc.id) );
Hope this works for you as well... I know it caused me pain for a while!
