SQL Developer 2.1.1 : JDBC/ODBC Bridge

Hi, I am running SQL Developer 2.1.1 and would like to to access databases other than those formally supported.
I am happy to use the JDBC/ODBC Bridge - although additional JDBC connectivity would be ideal, I gather that it is not supported.
Googling, and searching on this forum, implies that I should install the appropriate JDBC driver for the Bridge, list it on the third party JDBC drivers Preferences page, and that a 'Create Connection' dialog JDBC tab would then appear on restarting SQL Developer, as happens when you install the supported MySQL JDBC driver, for example.
I am sorry to be dim, but I cannot track down a jar file containing the JDBC/ODBC Bridge that is supported by SQL Developer to the extent of enabling the JDBC tab. The rt.jar shipped in SQL Developer's JRE does not do the job. Checking for updates from the Help menu lists nothing that looks even remotely relevant. Where should I be looking?
Thanks a lot

The additional connection types only appear for supported databases.
I haven't tried this, but I vaguely remember some discussions from a long time ago.
Make sure the jar file (and any supporting DLLs) are on your classpath (probably dropping them in the extensions directory will do it) and then in the new connection dialog select 'Advanced' connection type. This lets you enter a JDBC URL in any format so you can enter what is required for your additional databases.
If this works, the most it will get you is a SQL Worksheet with no completion insight or syntax checking. Because SQL Developer doesn't know how to use the database catalogue, the object navigator won't work.

MS SQL Server 7 thru JDBC:ODBC bridge

Hi,
I am trying to access MS SQL server 7 thru JDBC ODBC bridge. I am finding my varchar data is being truncated to 255 characters. Any help on this would be appreciated.

Any body know of a good type 4 jdbc driver for SQL
Server 7. There is one for SQL server 2000
downloadable from micrsoft site, but does it work for
sql server 7 too ?Older betas of this driver suported SQL Server 7, but I believe the plan is to specifically remove that capability in its final release.
My biased opinion would be to try the driver from DataDirect. http://www.ddtek.com Its their driver (an older version) that Microsoft has licensed for MS SQl 2000.
Getting it from DataDirect has a couple obvious advantages:
1. Its a later, more stable, better performing version
2. It will continue to Support MS SQL 7
3. It's suported by 24/7 phone,email and web tech support.
4. And, early this week, you should be able to get the latest 3.0 release which promises to be even more robust, in addition to conforming to the new specs.
5. its not free, but then again- you get what you pay for...

JDBC-ODBC-Bridge connection to SQL Database

Hi guys
I have a problem. I've made a little game which I want to put on my website. It has a highscore-list which I want to connect to my web host's database server to get the current list.
I tried this with JDBC and got it to work locally but when I uploaded it to my site it didn't work. I contacted my web host's technical support who told me that their server didn't have the JDBC driver and that I should use ODBC instead. I did lots of reading and found out about this JDBC-ODBC-Bridge. I have since been trying to implement this into my program but hasn't been successful.
In my original JDBC connection I used
private String url = "jdbc:mysql://" + host + "/" + mydatabase;
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection(url, username, password);Now I'm trying
private String url = "jdbc:odbc://" + host + "/" + database;
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection(url, username, password);But, at least when trying it locally, I get the error
java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name is too long.

Java Web Analyzer security hole in SQL Query Spreadsheet using JDBC-ODBC bridge

Hi, I use Hyperion Analyzer 7.0.1 on Windows 2003 and relation database DB2 v8.2. I did: 1. log in to Java Web Analyzer 2. button New 3. Select Layout: Custom Report 4. from toolbar pull down to desktop "SQL Spreadsheet" option 5. "Enter SQL Query" window opens, from JDBC Driver drop down window select "JDBC-ODBC Bridge" 6. in "JDBC Connection String" window replace "db1" string with database name 7. leave JDBC Username and JDBC Password empty (this is default) 8. click on "Test Connection" button. 9. "Test Connection" window opens with message "Connection Succeded"!!! So connection to database without password succeeded. 10. in "SQL Query window" write any SQL you wish and Database will execute the SQL. Conclusion: Connecting Analyzer with SQL Spreadsheet option to relation database DB2 is possible without password. Question: Is there any way to prevent users from executing "SQL Spreedsheet" option? Thanks, Grofaty

JDBC-ODBC Bridge to SPSS data files - Result Set Type is not supported

Hello,
As mentioned in the subject I am trying to read SPSS data files using the SPSS 32-Bit data driver, ODBC and the JDBC-ODBC Bridge.
Using this SPSS Driver I manged to read the data directly into an MS-SQL Server using:
SELECT [...] FROM
OPENROWSET(''MSDASQL.1'',''DRIVER={SPSS 32-BIT Data Driver (*.sav)};DBQ=' SomePathWhereTheFilesAre';SERVER=NotTheServer'', ''SELECT 'SomeSPSSColumn' FROM "'SomeSPSSFileNameWithoutExt'"'') AS a
This works fine!
Using Access and an ODBC System DNS works for IMPORTING but NOT for LINKING.
It is even possible to read the data using the very slow SPSS API.
However, when it comes to JDBC-ODBC the below code does only work in part. The driver is loaded successfully, but when it comes to transferring data into the resultset object the error
SQLState: null
Result Set Type is not supported
Vendor: 0
occurs.
The official answer from SPSS is to use .Net or to use their implementation with Python in their new version 14.0. But this is obviously not an option when you want to use only Java.
Does anybody have experience with SPSS and JDBC-ODBC??? I have tried the possible ResultSet Types, which I took from:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/db2luw/v8/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.db2.udb.doc/ad/rjvdsprp.htm
and none of them worked.
Thank you in advance for your ideas and input & stay happy!

Thank you for your reply StuDerby!
Actually the above script was before, as you suggested, leaving the ResultSetTeype default. This did not work...
I am getting gray hair with SPSS - in terms of connectivity and "integratebility" none of their solutions offered is sufficient from my point of view.
Variable definitions can only be read by the slow API, data can only be read by Python or Microsoft Products... and if you want to combine both you are in big trouble. I can only assume that this is a company strategy to sell their Dimensions Platform to companies versus having companies developping their applications according to business needs.
Thanks again for any furthur suggestions and I hope, that some SPSS Developper will see this post!

About JDBC ODBC bridge

I'm developing an application using EJBs in a development environment with Sun Application Server, Sql Server and NetBeans IDE 4.1. I'm using entity beans and session beans in my application. But, when I try to connect to database using a Servlet or JSP with the session beans, the connection with database could not be established. This is my problem!!!

First, you probably shouldn't use the JDBC/ODBC bridge. Any serious and many non-serious databases have real drivers. Is there anything but Access that really needs the bridge...? Use the jTds driver (google for it). Or just last week Microsoft beta'ed a new JDBC driver for MSSQL; no idea how good it is. Some smalltalk on that: http://www.theserverside.com/news/thread.tss?thread_id=35063
Second, what error do you get?
If it is "connection refused", here is my standard first aid check list:
- Check host name in connect string.
- Check port number in connect string.
- Try numeric IP address of server host in connect string, in case name server is hosed.
- Are there any firewalls between client and server blocking the port.
- Check that the db server is running.
- Check that the db server is listening to the port. On the server, try: "telnet localhost the-port-number". Or "netstat -an", there should be a listening entry for the port.
- Try "telnet serverhost the-port-number" from the client, to see if firewalls are blocking it.
- If "telnet" fails: try it with the numeric ip address.
- If "telnet" fails: does it fail immediately or after an obvious timeout? How long is the timeout?
- Does the server respond to "ping serverhost" or "telnet serverhost" or "ssh serverhost"?

Problem using Jdbc-Odbc Bridge

Hi,
I am using Java 2 SDK and I am trying to access MS Access database on my machine using Jdbc-Odbc bridge. I have set up the DSN in ODBC. But I get the following error when I run my program -
'No Suitable Driver'
Here's my code snippet-
Class.forName ("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
String dsn = "jdbc:odbc:DriverInfoDB";
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(dsn,"","");
con.setAutoCommit(false);
Statement stmt;
String query = null; // SQL select string
ResultSet rs; // SQL query results
stmt = con.createStatement();
.....etc etc...
Where is the error in this code??
Help Needed!!
Thanks
Vivek.

Null Pointer Exception using JDBC-ODBC bridge on Linux

Wonder if anyone can help me with this one?
I am attempting to use the JDBC-ODBC bridge on Fedora with J2SDK 1.4.2_04, however I am getting a NullPointerException whenever I get the connection. I can get the JDBC connection to work but it is a requirement that ODBC be used.
The code is as simple as it can get.

      catch (Exception e)
           e.printStackTrace();
   public static void main(String[] args)
      doConnection();

As far as I know I have configured ODBC correctly. I can achieve connectivity to my database using other tools and I still get this same error irrespective of whether the DSN is valid or not.
I have installed the unixODBC rpm.
Any help/insite would be greatly appreciated.

Access MS-Access using JDBC ODBC bridge from Sun AMD64

Hi,
We are trying to configure a communication channel using the JDBC adapter. We are setting the driver to the JDBC-ODBC bridge driver and trying to access an MS Acess database from the PI server(sun amd64). When we set the driver to the JDBC-ODBC bridge, the J2EE engine tries to restart immediately and does not start. The std_server.out contains the following error:
Service com.sap.aii.adapter.jdbc.svc started. (234 ms).

Has anybody been able to configure the JDBC-ODBC bridge driver for MS Access? Also, has anybody used the database vendor(MS) drivers? If so, where are they available.
Thanks in advance

JDBC-ODBC Bridge seems to slow down after a while

Hi,
I've got a weird problem going on with an application I'm writing. I hope someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong.
The problem I'm encountering is in he code shown below. The function getAllGamesForATeam is creating a list of items in an ArrayList and passing it back to an Event handler so that I can put it in the session of a servlet. The first time I run this code, it is fast. Fast enough to use on a servlet. The second time it runs, it is MUCH slower...too slow to use on a servlet. The third time it runs, it gets even worse.
I am using the JDBC-ODBC bridge to access my database which is in Access 97. I do have connection pooling enabled on the database. Still it is slow.
If you have any ideas, I would appreciate it. Here's the code:

Where do you close the ResultSet?
Where do you close the Statement?
Presumably you only create one connection for all users or you close it somewhere.

JDBC-ODBC Bridge does not support Unicode UTF-16

Hi
I'm using Jdeveloper 10.0.3 IDE in order to develop an application for data transformation between MS Access 2003 (source) and Oracle 10g (destination). Clients use Windows XP.
JDBC-ODBC Bridge still does not support Unicode UTF-16 which is the Charest used by MS Access 2000/2003.
Note that when I changed locale in regional setting, destination Connection to Ora10g failed to open a connection, it works only with English locale, so I can't change my locale information.
How can I read Unicode from source DB?
Any help would be appreciated. I look forward to see your response.
Thanks,

i also heared that JDBC-ODBC Bridge still does not support Unicode UTF-16,
but i guess this is not in my case.That's the key in fact. JDBC-ODBC Bridge does not support UTF-16, which is the charset used by MS Access 2000/2003.
or do i need to use a third party driver for jdbc odbc bridge?Free library at http://jackcess.sourceforge.net/
Commerical JDBC driver at http://www.hxtt.com/access.html

JDBC-ODBC BRIDGE gives classcast exception

I want to use your XMLSQL Utility to exchange data between XML
and database( Access database ) through sun's jdbc-odbc bridge,
but got the following run time error:
oracle.xml.sql.OracleXMLSQLException:
java.lang.ClassCastException:

While the SQL-to-XML functionality of XSU works with any JDBC driver, the 1.2.1 (current release) of XSU has the restriction that the insert/update/delete functionality only works with the Oracle JDBC driver.
We are testing the next version of XSU in house that fixes this limitation to allow it to support full functionality against any JDBC driver. We expect this release to be posted by next Friday (Oct 20th).

JDBC ODBC bridge connections using 2.1.1

Hi,
I have reviewed a lot of postings related to JDBC and third party drivers and understand how to connect to the packaged drivers such as MySQL and MS SQL Server/Sybase. Where I'm stuck is the reference in the Connections help to JDBC. We have a ODBC system DSN that's not part of the existing JDBC drivers. The help implies it's possible to create a JDBC:ODBC bridge connection and that JDBC:ODBC bridge functionality is part of the JDK therefore should not require additional jar files. However, the JDBC tab is not an available connection type by default. I traced the JDBC ODBC bridge to the rt.jar and tried adding that to the third party extensions but that has not resulted in the JDBC tab becoming available.
Is the JDBC tab only available when using commercial JDBC ODBC bridge drivers ?
For all other connections (DB2, TimesTen, Teradata etc) the help is very specific about which jar files you need and any other requirements but the JDBC section it is unclear how you enable JDBC connectivity.
Thanks
Steven

We are using the JDBC-ODBC bridge to do a prepared
statement. I have seen other bugs that suggest this
is problematic with older version of JRE, but was
supposedly fixed in later versions.
java.sql.SQLException: General errorIf it is not too late, check the following link:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/guide/jdbc/getstart/GettingStartedTOC.fm.html
Sections 6.1.3 and 8 (especially tables at the end).
I had the same case, and the problem was that the field in the Oracle database was defined as NUMBER(4), witch is equivalent to INTEGER in JDBC types, and function setInt should be used with INTEGER, instead of setLong.
This is explained in sections I mentioned.

JDBC-ODBC BRIDGE (General error)

I get some time "SQLException : general error" on the screen followed by a "[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][TCP/IP Sockets]General network error. Check your network documentation" when i am using the jdbc-odbc bridge on a jsp page
My configuration:
OS : WIN NT 4.0
TOMCAT 4.0
JSP
Database : SQL server 2000
Database driver: Sun JDBC-ODBC bridge
Could it come from a concurrent access problem?
Does anyone have an idea?
Thank you,
Deenesh

I've found that the descriptive "General Error" message ususally means there's something wrong with my sql. If your db passes Navin's test (meaning it's up and running), then try to take your sql query and paste it into a sql window for your db. Sometimes this gets you an error message that is a little more descriptive.

Jdbc-odbc bridge connection error

Hi,
Please help me to create a jdbc-odbc connection from Jdev10g to a TSM server database.
I have created a database connection with the following parameters:
Connection name: tsm1a
Connection type: jdbc-odbc bridge
Username: admin
Password: ***
Datasource name: tsm1 (this is the name of the DSN datasource name in my Windows ODBC DSN datasource)
Extra parameters: NONE
Clicking on the Test button shows Success!
I have tried to launch the SQL worksheet, it is success and give me a correct result to my "select * from volumes" query.
I have created a simple JSP page:
<%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=windows-1250"%>
<%@ taglib uri="http://xmlns.oracle.com/j2ee/jsp/tld/ojsp/sqltaglib.tld"
prefix="database"%>
<html>
<body>
<database:dbOpen connId="c1" URL="jdbc:odbc:TSM1a" user="admin" password="***">
<database:dbQuery connId="c1" output="html" queryId="q1" >
select * from volumes
</database:dbQuery>
</database:dbOpen>
</body>
</html>
The result of the run of it:
javax.servlet.jsp.JspTagException: Failed to establish connection at oracle.jsp.dbutil.tagext.dbOpenTag.doStartTag(dbOpenTag.java:115)
Please help me, how to get a connection to the ODBC datasource from a jsp page.
What is wrong in the URL string or elsewhere ?
Thanks a lot in advance:
