SQL Server 2000 SP3 and jdbc type 4 drivers

hi all,
Has anybody had any problems using the type 4 jdbc drivers for SQL Server2000 after you upgraded the SQL Server 2000 with the latest Service Pack SP3 ??
Please reply..
cheers,
-Jer

hi shilohcity,
i did have some problem when i updated my sql server to sp3. The driver i was using.., Atinav's aveConnect3, didn't connect and was throwing exceptions. But after contacting their tech support, they provided me with an updated version, which they had released recently, and that solved the problem. I now believe that with that support, what i paid for that driver was worth it.'cos I would've been kept waiting for the updates if i was using some free driver with poor tech support.
see these links..

I do think this is some problem that could be solved by the driver vendors. the M$ 's TDS version is still a mystery as far as i know. and the driver should communicate with sql server using this TDS protocol. I dont know, may be SP3 would've introduced updates in the TDS protocol.. and the drivers should be able to support it, or new updated versions released.
It can happen in future too... M$ may change their stance anytime.. better be wise in choosing your DB Server and even be more careful while chosing JDBC drivers.

Regarding Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Driver for JDBC (2.2.0019)

I have downloaded and installed Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Driver for JDBC (2.2.0019). Now i have to configure it for my development purpose. Can i use this driver for my development purpose or not. If yes does it create any kind of problem in future when i change the platform. My development should not depend on driver and database.
Can i use any other driver provided by sun microsystem. If yes let me know where can i download and configure it.
Waiting for the updates ASAP

See, the bridge, being a type 1 driver has
river has all the inherent limitations of that type
drivers, due to the extra levels the data must
passthrough inthe journey between the DB and the
client. Also the use of native code.. makes it
unsuitable to be used in applets.. the odbc should be
configured in the client for this driver to work. etc.
etc.
It may be stable and useful for some
for some applications.. but for sccenarios where one
needs the solution tobe platform independent, ...By definition that would be the case. Of course the odbc-bridge does work on Windows, Solaris and Linux. So what other platform were you thinking about?
... less dependent on the user configuration,The bridge doesn't need any configuration. Or at least not any more than any other driver. The ODBC driver of course does need configuration.
...needs the minimum preparations from theuser, and above all give
the fastest response time for him, the bridge cannot
beat type 4 drivers. You are going to have to provide a link for that particular performance quote. Given that performance is impact most severely by requirements then design and finally by round trip time to the database I doubt that for applications (rather than benchmarks) that any difference is going to be significant.
the problem i think was my use of
my use of 'commercial' that u pointed out..
anyway.. u are of course right if what u intended was
stability only. but what i intended with that word was
different .. sorry for creating the confusion.
And it still seems like you are implying that it is not suitable for deployment in production systems. And as I pointed out I did deploy it in a large scale production system.
I am not saying that type 4 drivers do not have a place nor that they do not have advantages, but their mere existance does not prove that they are a better choice for all installations.

Problems! MS SQL Server 2000 Driver for JDBC.

In Dos-promt ill got only this message: com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver
What is wrong and is there someone that can help me out?
I have installed Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Driver for JDBC and set the path like this in the system, advance, environment variable:
.;D:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Driver for JDBC\lib\msbase.jar;D:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Driver for JDBC\lib\msutil.jar;D:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Driver for JDBC\lib\mssqlserver.jar
This is the source code i use to test the connection:
import java.sql.*;
public class Exercise2_1 {
static String driver = ("com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver");
static String url= "jdbc:microsoft:MinTest;ah;modeerf";//sqlserver://H:1433;user=ah;password=modeerf";
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
     Class.forName(driver).newInstance();
     System.out.println("Loaded driver");
     Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url);
     System.out.println("Connected to database");
     conn.close();
     System.out.println("Closed connection");
catch (Throwable e) { System.err.println(e.getMessage()); }

You printed the error message associated with the exception but didn't print the type of the exception. com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver was probably a ClassNotFoundException meaning that the VM couldn't find the jars.
You say you put the jars in the path. They should actually be in the class path. Either set the CLASSPATH environment variable or pass it in to the Java VM via the -cp option.
One more thing. Seeing as the paths that you installed the JDBC driver into contain spaces you may need to put quotes around the path names or use the MSDOS short names for those directories.

SQL Server 2000 Driver for JDBC - Error establishing sockets

Hi there
I am using Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Driver for JDBC to connect to SQL Sever 2000. It is just a test application to see if it would connect to the datacase successfully. But I got the following errors. I already set up the classpath and installed all SQL Server 2000 Driver for JDBC sp 3. Dont know why it still failed...can anyone help me out of this? Thanks.
When i am using simple JDBC-ODBC bridge Driver it's working fine.
For this Server Pack3 , i have checked every thing like--
TCP / IP Poart is Enable.
I am working in client machine, my MSSQLServer 2000 Placed in server Machine.
when i am giving Telnet ServerIP 1433 it's giving following response.

hey i also have this problem i have been looking for solution for this problem for along time i tried every possible solution i tried every service pack for the SQL but it didn't connect to the port!!!
it's a network problem ur java code is correct dont worry about it.
finally i had to install MySQL and it's work fine now but if u insist on usning SQL u have to use the JDBC-ODBC Bridge it will work by :
first add data source database , follow these steps
1- go to Administrative tools
2-Data Sources(ODBC)
3-System DNS tab and add then choose SQL SERVER the last option then finish
4-write the name; Note: this name is the one that u will write in ur URL for example if u write Hello the URL will be "jdbc:odbc:Hello"
5- choose the server, its recommended to write "." or (local)
6-change the database to its an important step to choose the database that u want to use, choose northwind if u want to use it
finish
second
adding this code:
import java.sql.*;
class JdbcTest1 {
public static void main (String[] args) {
try {
// Step 1: Load the JDBC driver.
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
// Step 2: Establish the connection to the database.
String url = "jdbc:odbc:Hello";
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url,"user1","password");
} catch (Exception e) {
System.err.println("Got an exception! ");
System.err.println(e.getMessage());
it will work without any problems

Error Using the SQL Server 2000 Driver for JDBC Service Pack 3

Hi,
I�m using the SQL Server 2000 Driver for JDBC Service Pack 3. The connection is succesfully, but when I use de statement.executequery() method, there is the follow exception:
java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][SQLServer 2000 Driver for JDBC][SQLServer]Invalid object name 'PEC_COUNTRY'.
This is my code:
ResultSet resultSet;
Statement statement;
Connection connection;
Class.forName("com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver").newInstance();
connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://S0MALMUERTA:1433;user=sa;password=");
statement = connection.createStatement();
resultSet = statement.executeQuery("SELECT COY_INX, COY_NAME, COY_ICO FROM PEC_COUNTRY
");When I make the last instruction, occurs the above exception
Thanks in advance
Luija

The way you are connecting, the default database used will be 'master' and i guess that the table PEC_COUNTRY was defined in another database.
If it is the case you need to specify the database name.
connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://S0MALMUERTA:1433;DatabaseName=yourdb;user=sa;password=");

SQL Server UID Permissions and JDBC

I'm using Netbeans 5.5.1 on my local PC and have created a connection to a remote SQL server using IP. I have followed the JDBC driver installation (as obtained from the Microsoft site) and I have even connected to the remote database in my Netbeans IDE using an account "imsteam". All appears okay with the connectivity....except...
With the account "imsteam", that I use to remotely connect to the database server...I can only see tables and stored procedures that were created by the user "imsteam". All other tables and stored procedures have been created/owned by "dbo", which I know exist, but I can't see them in my "run-time" window in Netbeans.
I have had our DBA check the permissions on the SQL server itself, and "imsteam" account has access to all tables and stored procedures, but I still can't see them through the JAVA netbeans IDE.
Is there some little "gotcha" that I need to be aware of when using netbeans so I can see these tables and procedures. Any advice, or references to articles specifically on account permissions with netbeans would be appreciated.

Access denial on connecting SQL server 2000 with Microsoft JDBC driver

Hi guys,
I am developping a BMP invoking procedures stored in a SQL server 2000 instance on the Sun RI platform. I am using the Microsoft type 4 JDBC driver.
the connection pattern is something like
jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://ambassador:1433;User=sa;Password;DataBase=Forethought;SelectMethod=cursor
An type-like "access denied" exception is raised when trying to get the connection from the DataSource object with some code similar to :
DataSource objDS = (DataSource)objCtx.lookup("jdbc/Forethought");
Connection objConn = ds.getConnection();
I have realised a CMP to access the database and everything works fine.
It seems that the SunRI tries to get the db connection with an "impersonated " user even if i have specified the user name and password in the connection string.
Does anyone have an idea how to force the connection with SQL Server user name and password ??

I come accorss the same problem too,
my URL jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://ambassador:1433;User=sa;Password=123;DatabaseName=pubs
and the password is right.I can establish connection to SQL server 2000 by JDBC Driver Manager,the code as follow:
Class.forName("com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver");
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection
("jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://localhost:1433;User=sa;Password=123");

Problem of loading the MS SQL Server 2000 driver for JDBC

Thanks for your reply.
I have already tried to give the full class path of .jar files to the System and User Variables but received the same error. I am doing BCA and developing my very first Project on Java.
Please, tell me one thing. When I had installed MS SQL Server 2000 at my system first time then the 3 JAR files were present in the lib folder and all my codings of connectivity were working properly. Then due to some reasons, I had to format C drive and installed the MS SQL Server 2000 again then in the lib folder the 3 JAR files were not there. How it has happened? Then, I installed the downloaded driver of MS SQL Server 2000 for JDBC 1.4 then the JAR files were installed in the related downloaded driver folder. I manually copied them to the lib folder of MS SQL Server and gave that path to the Classpath of System and User Variables, but it didn't work.
I am not understanding the reason that The Software which worked previously is not working correctly in second time of installing.
I am using command line to develop my stand-alone project. Please help me.

Don't bother with the System CLASSPATH, more often than not, it is not even used.
When running from an IDE, set the project's library preferences.
When running from a web container/application server configure the applications libraries in the server/container, see it's documentation.
When running an applet, configure the [ codebase and/or archive |http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/deployment/applet/html.html] tags properly.
When running from the command line with the [ "-cp" |http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/tools/solaris/java.html] option, the System CLASSPATH is ignored.
When running from the command line with the "-jar" option, both the System CLASSPATH path and the "-cp" option are ignored, configure the [manifest file|http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/deployment/jar/downman.html] properly.
When running any other way, the System CLASSPATH might be used.

SQL Server 2000 Driver for JDBC

I am trying to learn how to connect to SQL Server 2000 and I keep getting errors. I have set my classpath and read through the online books, but I can't fix it. I'm not sure if I'm missing something in the configuration, or at the database level. Here are the errors I'm getting followed by my code: By the way, is there a limit on how long the classpath can be?

TableMaker tableMaker = new TableMaker();
tableMaker.execute(SQLCreate);
}

Finally, I fix the problem! Can't put white space after ";" for CLASSPATH!!! for instance classpath=.; c:\..\*.jar doesn't work! it must be classpath=.;c:\..\*.jar The stupid JAVA!!! Thanks a lot.
I have another problem, right now I can connect to SQL Server 2000 from standalone program, but I can't connect to my DB from servlet.
ie. the following codes works for standalone program. but it doesn't work for servlet. Any help will be appreciated!
// Make sure the JdbcOdbcDriver class is loaded
Class.forName("com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver");
// Try to connect to a database via ODBC
conn = DriverManager.getConnection(
"jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://127.0.01:1433", "sa","");

SQL Server 2000 Driver for JDBC SP3 and J2SE 5.0?

Hi.
On http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=07287b11-0502-461a-b138-2aa54bfdc03a&DisplayLang=en
it says JDK versions up to 1.4 are supported (I guess that probably means NO), but I'm wondering if anyone knows if it's possible to use 1.5?
Thanks!

Thanks!I can't imagine why not. They most likely have that list so that they can say we don't support 1.1.4 or something.
But I gotta be perfectly honest with you. That driver (from the messages posted here) seems to be a real piece of rubbish. Gee I wonder why that would be? I recommend (based on my personal usage experience) the jtds driver http://jtds.sourceforge.net/ Which is free, open source and also a type 4 driver.

MS Windows Professional 2000, SP3 and IPOD Nano drivers

I've just received my new iPOD nano and trying to instal software on my laptop I found that it requests SP4 that I couldn't install on my laptop due to policy requirements.
Could I download any previous release or what can I do?I have Administration rights, too so do you advise me to instal SP 4?
Thanks a lot for your help,
Ciao Matz

Welcome to the forums.
Well, if your laptop is not yours, and your not supposed to install anything new on it, such as SP4, then I wouldn't advise you to break the rules.
If you have Admin rights, meaning you are allowed to do things, cause you are admin, then go ahead, cause the service packs are designed to make Windows run better. The service packs don't hurt, they help.
Hope this helps!
