I am fairly new to H2 Database. As a part of a PoC, I am using H2 database(version : 1.4.187) for mocking the MS SQL Server DB. I have one application, say app1 which generates the data and save into H2. Another application, app2, needs to read from the H2 database and process the data it reads. I am trying to use Auto Server mode so that even if one of the application is down, other one is able to read/write to/from the database.
After reading multiple examples, i found how to build the h2 url and shown as below:
jdbc:h2:~/datafactory;MODE=MSSQLServer;AUTO_SERVER=TRUE;
Enabled the tcp and remote access as Below:
org.h2.tools.Server.createTcpServer("-tcpAllowOthers","-webAllowOthers").start()
With this, I am able to write to the database. Now, I want to read the data using the h2-web-console application. I am able to do that from my local machine. However, I am not able to understand how I can connect to this database remotely from another machine.
My plant is to run these two apps in an ubuntu machine and I can monitor the data using the web console from my machine. Is it not possible with this approach?
How can I solve this ?
Or do I need to use server mode and explicitly start the h2 server? Any help would be appreciated.
By default, remote connections are disabled for H2 database for protection. To enable remote access to the TCP server, you need to start the TCP server using the option -tcpAllowOthers or the other flags -webAllowOthers, -pgAllowOthers
.
To start both the Web Console server (the H2 Console tool) and the TCP server with remote connections enabled, you will have to use something like below
java -jar /path/to/h2.jar -web -webAllowOthers -tcp -tcpAllowOthers -browser
More information can be found in the docs here and console settings can be configured from here
Not entirely sure but looking at the documentation and other questions answered previously regarding the same topic the url should be something like this:
jdbc:h2:tcp://<host>:<port>/~/datafactory;MODE=MSSQLServer;AUTO_SERVER=TRUE;
It seems that the host may not be localhost and the database may not be in memory
Is there a need for the H2 web console?
You can use a different SQL tool using the TCP server you have already started. I use SQuirreL SQL Client (http://squirrel-sql.sourceforge.net/) to connect to different databases.
If you need a web interface you could use Adminer (https://www.adminer.org/) which can connect to different database vendors, including MS SQL, which happens to be mode you're running H2. There is an Adminer Debian package that should work for Ubuntu.

I just want to know how I can start derby in network server mode and still be able to get an embedded connection?
Thank you.
You need to launch Derby in "embedded server mode". If you are already using Derby in embedded mode, this can be enabled by providing the necessary files in your classpath, then specifying a handful of command line arguments when launching the application.
First make sure the following jars are in your application's runtime classpath.
derby.jar derbynet.jar
Then add the following command line options to the Java command used to launch your application. If the class files are missing, these options will have no effect.
-Dderby.drda.startNetworkServer=true
-Dderby.drda.portNumber=8011
I'm running Derby from within a servlet hosted by Tomcat, so I added these options to the catalina.bat file.
Start up your application and check the list of open network sockets.
netstat -an | find "8011"
You should now see Derby listening for connections on 8011. Its now possible to connect to the database using Derby's client driver (derbyclient.jar). The instructions at http://docs.oracle.com/javadb/10.3.3.0/adminguide/radminembeddedserverex.html cover this part pretty well.
It was hinted that running Derby in this mode may be discouraged. I don't believe that to be the case. Your application will continue to access the database using the embedded driver, while other software is now permitted access using the client driver.
The Embedded Server mode sounds like what you are asking for. It allows you to start a network server when you start the embedded database.
It sounds contradictory that you want to start derby in network server mode and get the embedded driver. Even if this might be possible, it is definitely discouraged. You should decide on whether you want to use Apache Derby in the network mode using the DRDA or as an embedded driver and stick to that decision.
Here you'll find a tutorial on how to use the network driver:
http://db.apache.org/derby/papers/DerbyTut/ns_intro.html
Some one correct me if i am wrong, Both will run on separte ports. So you can connect to the required one using the proper connectionName, right?
#pawelocue: Sorry, but this is wrong. Using the embedded server mode is perfectly alright and sometimes very useful. It is definitely not discouraged.
I have made a Netbeans application that is reliant on the DB Network Server in order to retrieve data. In Netbeans the code works fine and runs well. Outside of Netbeans everything but the database information is working. I have made a batch file for connecting to the localhost server that seems to connect on the port I assigned: 1527. Even after connecting to the localhost, it won't display the database information.
My code in the batch file:
PATH C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_25\db\bin;%PATH%
startNetworkServer
When I run this I get the result:
Security manager installed using the Basic server security policy.
Apache Derby Network Server - 10.10.1.8 - (1557168) started and ready to accept connections on port 1527connect
Is there more code that I need to add in order to connect to the actual database itself from the server? Or is this not the right way to do this at all? I have tried using the Embedded DB but that didn't work and only caused more problems. I would prefer greatly to stay away from it and stick to the Network DB.
I have a memory HSQLDB database with this connection URL:
jdbc:hsqldb:mem:test_database
It runs fine with my application but I need to configure this database in a SQL Client.
I can't because every clients complain that no host was found or there's no database.
I'm not sure if I'm filling all the information correctly in "host" and "database" fields or if it is a HSQLDB memory restriction.
Has anyone got the same error?? Thanks a lot.
With :mem: you define a database which is only accessible within the running java vm. This database resides in memory and cannot be accessed externally via host/port jdbc access.
Please read:
Running and Using Hsqldb
Advanced Topics
You can use the Database Manager provided by HSQLDB, just run in console
java -cp hsqldb.jar org.hsqldb.util.DatabaseManagerSwing
and connect to the jdbc:hsqldb:mem:test_database
I've looked all over for this for quite a while so I'm just going to ask it here;
How do I set up an H2 db in server mode so I can connect to it via the internet from a different machine? How do I start the engine in server mode and leave it running on a machine to accept connections? I can forward the ports and everything fine, it's just getting the engine in "receiving" mode that I'm dumb about.
I'm sorry, I've really looked everywhere. I want to be able to connect to the db and add data from a mobile app. All of the app and transmission data is working great, I just need to be able to run a server with the db on it and receive the data. Any tutorial or documentation that is clearer than the stock H2 server mode documentation would be really appreciated.
Thanks!
For security reasons, by default the H2 servers (including the TCP server) are protected against remote access. The error message you get on the client should be clear this. You have to explicitly enable remote access using -tcpAllowOthers (for the TCP server):
java -cp h2.jar org.h2.tools.Server -tcp -tcpAllowOthers
This will only start the TCP server - see the documentation for details.
$ java -cp h2.jar -Dh2.binAddress=0.0.0.0 org.h2.tools.Server
See http://h2database.com/html/advanced.html#server_bind_address
I have a Java application and I have to connect to a MySQL DB host in aruba.it. If I make a connection, aruba.it refuses that. How to solve this?
To start, I assume that you're trying to run this Java application locally, or at least at a different machine than where the MySQL DB runs and that you got a SQLException: Connection Refused.
To fix the particular problem, all routers and firewalls in the complete network pipe between the client (where the Java application runs) and the server (where the MySQL DB runs) needs to be configured to allow/forward the port number which the DB uses. This is by default 3306. If this port is blocked, you cannot reach the DB from outside.
Another solution is just to upload the Java application in flavor of a webapplication and run it by HTTP. You'd normally use JSP/Servlet for this.
Apart from network, routers, firewall issues the reason can be that by default remote access to MySQL database server is disabled for security reasons. Mostly DB is hosted on the same server or on the trusted server. If you run java application from your desktop, you need to configure MySQL so it will accept this connections. See this manual for details how to do it.
