connecting MATLAB to Apache Derby database via JDBC - java

I've been asked to connect an Apache Derby database to our existing MATLAB data-mining tools. I am running MATLAB R2014a (no Database toolbox)
After some research and trial and error, here's what I did:
went to http://www.java2s.com/Code/Jar/d/Downloadderbyclientjar.htm and downloaded derbyclient.jar and saved it, and unzipped it to a shared folder.
edited the text file C:\Users\tyler.davis\AppData\Roaming\MathWorks\MATLAB\R2014a\javaclasspath.txt and added full path to derbyclient.jar, saved it, restarted MATLAB.
At MATLAB command line
javaclasspath
shows "S:\SHARED...\derbyclientjar\derbyclient.jar\derbyclient.jar" at the end of the static path list. So far so good.
Next, try
driverClassName = 'org.apache.derby.jdbc.ClientDriver';
java.lang.Class.forName(driverClassName);
reports error:
Java exception occurred:
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org/apache/derby/jdbc/ClientDriver
at java.lang.Class.forName0(Native Method)
at java.lang.Class.forName(Unknown Source)
Tried an alternative:
classLoader = com.mathworks.jmi.ClassLoaderManager.getClassLoaderManager;
driverClass = classLoader.loadClass(driverClassName);
That seemed to work, created objects "driverClass, type 1x1 java.lang.Class" and "classLoader, value 1x1 com.mathworks.jmi.ClassLoaderManager"
Then I tried
DriverManager.registerDriver(driverClass.newInstance);
which reports error
Undefined variable "DriverManager" or class "DriverManager.registerDriver".
and if I try to create a sample database using
cxnStr = 'jdbc:derby:sampleDB:create=true';
cxn = java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(cxnStr);
I get
Java exception occurred:
java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver found for jdbc:derby:sampleDB:create=true
at java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(Unknown Source)
at java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(Unknown Source)
I really don't know what I'm doing here; just copying other's code from around the web. Any suggestions on what to try next?

Since you're just getting started with Derby, can I recommend that you take an hour or two and run through the Derby tutorial: http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/10.11/getstart/cgstutorialintro.html
Also, can I recommend that you get in the habit of downloading Derby from the Apache website rather than other Internet sites? The copies of Derby on other sites are probably fine, but it seems most reliable and safest to get Derby from the Apache website: http://db.apache.org/derby/derby_downloads.html
Most of what you did in your description seems OK to me; I suspect the place where you went astray is when you unzipped derbyclient.jar itself.
Although a '*.jar' file is in fact a valid ZIP archive, you are not expected to unzip those packaged jar files. Instead, you should leave the jar as 'derbyclient.jar' and then set your CLASSPATH to include 'derbyclient.jar' as one of the entries in the CLASSPATH list.
Lastly, note that the JDBC Connection URL
jdbc:derby:sampleDB:create=true
is a correct JDBC Connection URL for the embedded configuration of Derby, not for the client-server configuration of Derby.
So even if you get a good copy of derbyclient.jar into your CLASSPATH correctly, you won't be able to use
jdbc:derby:sampleDB:create=true
Instead, you'll either have to use a client-server style JDBC Connection URL, such as:
jdbc:derby://my.server.name:1527/sampleDB
(and learn how to operate a Derby Network Server), or you'll need to switch to using the Embedded Driver (org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver).
For more information about this notion of configurations, see: http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/10.11/getstart/cgsquck70629.html
And for more information on the JDBC Connection URL and the two JDBC driver classes, see: http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/10.11/getstart/cgsquck19524.html
Once you've had a chance to work through the Derby Getting Started guide, I recommend asking some follow-on questions based on what you learn during that experience.

Impala driver class not being found through Jaydebeapi Connection

I recently switched over from using a PC to a Mac and now for whatever reason one of my Impala drivers that worked fine is no longer found when run in Python. I keep receiving this error every time I run the script : "java.lang.RuntimeException: Class com.cloudera.impala.jdbc41.Driver not found". Please see code snippet for my connection below.
c = jaydebeapi.connect
(jclassname='com.cloudera.impala.jdbc41.Driver',
url='jdbc:impala://cloudera-impala-proxy.live.bi.xxx/;AuthMech=3;ssl=1;',
driver_args=['xxx', self.dwh_password], jars='/Users/xxx/Desktop/ImpalaJDBC41 2.jar')
Any help or suggestions are appreciated, I feel like I'm going crazy trying to get this to work.
Did you check do you have the ImpalaJDBC***.jar in your new machine.
Please check properly weather it's available at classpath/build path or not.
Edit:
You can use hive jdbc jar as well to connect with impala , just use the port of impala rather hive in jdbc url.
Looking at this error means your jar is corrupt.
First check your impalaJDBC jar
java -jar ImpalaJDBC<version>.jar
If it gives you error that means your jar is corrupt.
Download the correct jar from cloudera

MySQL to PostgreSQL migration: mysql connector

I am trying to migrate from MySQL to PostgreSQL and I have a Java-related problem that I am not able to fix. Full disclosure: I know little or nothing about Java, but the migration uses a Java-based script, so for me it becomes a configuration problem.
Short version of the problem:
The migration tool throws this exception:
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
mysql-connector-java-5.0.8-bin.jar is already in the "JAVA_HOME\jre\lib\ext" directory, and I don't know how to solve this depencency problem.
Long version of the problem:
I was trying to migrate from MySQL to PostgreSQL. I checked the official postgresql documentation and I chose the free tool from entreprisedb (that can be downloaded here) to start the migration.
From the installation readme, they tell you that the mysql connector is not installed by default, but they also tell you the steps to solve this problem:
To enable MySQL connectivity, download MySQL's freely available JDBC driver from:
http://www.enterprisedb.com/downloads/third-party-jdbc-drivers
Place the mysql-connector-java-5.0.8-bin.jar file in the "JAVA_HOME\jre\lib\ext" directory (in my case: "C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_60\lib\ext\mysql-connector-java-5.0.8-bin.jar").
After configuring the tool properly and executing the .bat, this is the error I get:
Connecting with source MySQL database server...
MTK-11009: Error Connecting Database "MySQL Server"
DB-null: java.sql.SQLException: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
Stack Trace:

at com.edb.Utility.processException(Utility.java:327)
at com.edb.dbhandler.mysql.MySQLConnection.<init>(MySQLConnection.java:47)
... 4 more
...which, to my understanding, probably means that mysql-connector-java-5.0.8-bin.jar is not found.
All the links I've found online regarding the error are specific for Eclipse or other IDEs, so I have not yet been able to solve this dependency problem.
SOLUTION
With the help of a friend that masters Java, this is the solution he achieved:
To start looking for the problem, we opened the runMTK.bat. The execution line reads:
cscript //nologo "..\etc\sysconfig\runJavaApplication.vbs" "..\etc\sysconfig\edbmtk-49.config" "-Dprop=..\etc\toolkit.properties -classpath -jar edb-migrationtoolkit.jar %*"
So then we opened this runJavaApplication.vbs, and in order to know the JAVA_EXECUTABLE_PATH that the program was using, we add this line to the script:
Wscript.Echo "JAVA_EXECUTABLE_PATH = " & JAVA_EXECUTABLE_PATH
With that info, we discover that the script is using the Java folder under C:\Program Files (x86), instead of the one under C:\Program Files (where I dropped the mysql jar). So we copy the mysql-connector-java-5.0.8-bin.jar in the \ext folder of the x86, and now the script works.
Word of advice: the script is throwing errors in half of the exported tables, so all the hassle may not be worth it. BUT if anyone is interested in making this migration script work from A to Z (which has been quite a challenge), here are the details:
HOW TO
Free tool (from entreprisedb):
http://www.enterprisedb.com/downloads/postgres-postgresql-downloads
Extract the files from the zip and fun the installer (ppasmeta-9.5.0.5-windows-x64.exe) as administrator.
To enable MySQL connectivity, download MySQL's freely available JDBC driver from:
http://www.enterprisedb.com/downloads/third-party-jdbc-drivers
Place the mysql-connector-java-5.0.8-bin.jar file in the "JAVA_HOME\jre\lib\ext" directory (in my case: "C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_60\lib\ext\mysql-connector-java-5.0.8-bin.jar").
The Migration Toolkit documentation can be found:
here (online doc): https://www.enterprisedb.com/docs/en/9.4/migrate/toc.html
or here (pdf doc): http://get.enterprisedb.com/docs/Postgres_Plus_Migration_Guide_v9.5.pdf
First: modify C:\Program Files\PostgresPlus\edbmtk\etc\toolkit.properties (Info here):
SRC_DB_URL=jdbc:mysql://SOURCE-HOST-NAME/SOURCE-DB-NAME
SRC_DB_USER=********
SRC_DB_PASSWORD=********
TARGET_DB_URL=jdbc:edb://localhost:5444/DESTINATION-DB-NAME
TARGET_DB_USER=enterprisedb
TARGET_DB_PASSWORD=********
Then: execute C:\Program Files\PostgresPlus\edbmtk\bin\runMTK.bat (Info here).
runMTK.bat -sourcedbtype mysql -targetdbtype enterprisedb -allTables YOUR_DB_SCHEMA
// ...or with a limited subset of tables:
runMTK.bat -sourcedbtype mysql -targetdbtype enterprisedb -tables TABLE1,TABLE2,TABLE3 YOUR_DB_SCHEMA
In order to get this subset of tables from MySQL:
SELECT
GROUP_CONCAT(TABLE_NAME)
FROM
information_schema.tables
WHERE
TABLE_SCHEMA = 'your_db_name'

Error: java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver found for jdbc:sqlserver

I have a wowza server (built with Java) and need it to save logs to a SQL Server 2005 Database. I downloaded the sqljdbc4.jar jar file from Microsoft and placed it in C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\lib\ext. I also added the classpath to a windows variable, but am getting this error:
java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver found for jdbc:sqlserver
These are the wowza configuration settings for SQL server:
log4j.appender.SQ=org.apache.log4j.jdbc.JDBCAppender
log4j.appender.SQ.Driver=com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver
log4j.appender.SQ.URL=jdbc:sqlserver:\\Myserver;databaseName=WowzaLog
log4j.appender.SQ.user=sa
log4j.appender.SQ.password=123
log4j.appender.SQ.layout=com.wowza.wms.logging.ECLFPatternLayout
log4j.appender.SQ.layout.OutputHeader=false
log4j.appender.SQ.sql=my insert SQL
It's not a wowza problem. It's something related to JAVA but I'm not a Java expert.
Thanks
Does Wowza have any lib folder? This would typically have lots of jar files in it that wowza would need to use.
Normally you put the JDBC driver jar file in there not in the Java runtime ext environment.
Also the Database path seems wrong. It needs to have forward slashes not backslashes. It needs to be like this:
jdbc:sqlserver://server:port;DatabaseName=dbname

Why is DB2 Type 4 JDBC Driver looking for native library db2jcct2?

I thought the Type 4 JDBC driver was pure Java and wouldn't require native libraries.
When I put db2jcc4.jar in the WEB-INF/lib directory of my Tomcat app packaged as a .war file, I get the following error when attempting to use the app: Got SQLException: com.ibm.db2.jcc.am.SqlException: [jcc][10389][12245][4.12.55] Failure in loading native library db2jcct2, java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError
The relevant application code is as follows and the exception is thrown due to the last line in the listing:
import com.ibm.db2.jcc.DB2SimpleDataSource;
// ...
DB2SimpleDataSource main_db2_data_source = new DB2SimpleDataSource();
main_db2_data_source.setUser(main_database_user);
main_db2_data_source.setPassword(main_database_password);
main_db2_data_source.setServerName(main_database_host);
try {
Integer main_database_port_integer = Integer.parseInt(main_database_port);
main_db2_data_source.setPortNumber(main_database_port_integer);
} catch (NumberFormatException exception) {
throw new WebException("...");
}
Connection main_connection = null;
try {
main_connection = main_db2_data_source.getConnection();
I suspect the problem is that you haven't told it to use the type 4 driver - the same jar file contains both type 4 and type 2 drivers, I believe.
Try:
main_db2_data_source.setDriverType(4);
The db2 driver needs another jar that includes the license.
This license controls the connection type. If you are going to use "db2 connect" to connect to a mainframe as an i series you should use the corresponding license. If you are going to connect to a Linux UNIX or Windows server, the license is included when you get the "Data server client for JDBC"
Also try this:
Goto Configure Build Path --> Libraries
--> JRE System Libraries
--> Native Library Location : Set this to %DB2HOME%/BIN
(which is where db2jcct2.dll is saved)
Recently i have faced this issue, when i was connecting to DB2 from Glassfish server. for this i have followed below steps and resolved this issue.
Please check it the below steps
step1) i have checked DB2 details in Domain.xml file.there i have seen only
username,pwd,databaseName,serverName ,portnumber, But i havent see DriverType.
Means Type of driver is 2 or 4.
2)for adding Type of driver i have logged into the Glassfish server admin console
Resources-->JDBC-->Connection pool -->our poolname --.add extra property
here i haved added as drivertype is 4.
Hence my problem has been solved

can oci driver for 11g (odbc5.jar) work with 10g client?

I need to connect to Oracle9,10 and 11 in my java application.The client will always be present where the app will be run and I want the app to just work with username,password and instance (specified in tnsnames.ora).Hence I would like oci drivers with a connection string of type : jdbc:oracle:oci:#testora .Im using the driver: oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver.
I have a 10g client and am using jdk1.5. When I use the ojdbc14 jar from client lib path the app runs.
But if I use the ojdbc5 driver then the app fails with
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no ocijdbc11 in java.
library.path
exception.
What im looking for is a way to package a single jar(ojdbc5/ojdbc14) and a single driver which will use oci drivers to connect to the client that is present on local machine(9/10/11).This is the way I would prefer it.
If this is not possible can I search the unix box for oracle version,pick up the correct jar and then use it in classpath when invoking the app which is in jar format?
Thanks,
Fell
java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no ocijdbc11 in java.library.path
This means that you are missing a DLL (ocijdbc11.dll) in the Java library path. Make sure you have that DLL and start your program like this:
java -Djava.library.path=C:\mydirwiththedll com.mypackage.MyProgram
ojdbc5.jar is intended to work with jdk1.5.x either you are connecting to Oracle 10 or 11g shouldn't matter, ojdbc14.jar was intended for jdk1.4.x
