Java not connecting to MS Access database using Eclipse

Can anyone help me? I've already tried to solve this for one hour and I'm still confused.
Below is my code and i get this error when compiling.
Output msg::

public static void main (String args[]) {

}
}

Overloaded methods for getConnection()
1)
getConnection( String url, Properties info )
url -
a database url of the form jdbc:subprotocol:subname
info -
a list of arbitrary string tag/value pairs as connection arguments;
normally at least a "user" and "password" property should be included
2)
getConnection( String url, String user, String password )
url - a database url of the form jdbc:subprotocol:subname
user -
the database user on whose behalf the Connection is being made
password -
the user's password
3) getConnection( String url )
url -
a database url of the form jdbc:subprotocol:subname
Considering you're using the last constructor, it seems your url syntax in incorrect. I'm not familiar with MS Access, but I'll offer a suggestion I found on another answer.
This is your syntax
"jdbc:odbc:; DRIVER = Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb, *.accdb); DBQ = DB.accdb"
A correct syntax I found was
File f = new File("\\\\***\\***\\****\\***.accdb");
"jdbc:odbc:Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb, *.accdb)};DBQ=" + f.getAbsolutePath();
Looks like you have an unnecessary semicolon after odbc and an extra space. Maybe you want to try the above syntax and see what happens. I'm not sure about the file part, but you may want to look into it if your url still fails after making the semicolon/space fix.
Check out this question also for more info on another option Connection with username and password

below is the working code for your problem...
import java.sql.*;
public class DBConnect {
public DBConnect() {
try {
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
System.out.println("DriverLoaded");
String url = "jdbc:odbc:instance";
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(url);
System.out.println("Connection Established Successfully");
} catch(Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
System.out.println("Could Not Connect to Database");
}
}
public static void main (String args[]) {
DBConnect dbcon = new DBConnect();
}
}
steps to be followed:
create an access database DB.accdb in any directory of your windows xp system.
open start > controlpanel > Performance and maintanance > Administrative Tools > Data sources (ODBC) >click System DSN tab > click add > choose Microsoft Access Driver (accdb,mdb) > give the name : instance , (since, getConnection("jdbc:odbc:instance") and click and browse the DB.accdb located in your hard drive ) press ok and restart your command prompt. and run the code again.
Running the same code in eclipse
create a java project.
add a main class and edit the source of this main class. just copy and paste the about code.
create a user library by adding the jar files from the jdk/bin directory.
link the build path to the project by linking the userlibrary.
run the project.

Connecting a Java application to an SQL database with Eclipse

I know this has been asked before but I really can't get this to work and as far as I can see I've followed all the steps.
I'm using Eclipse.
So I downloaded the Microsoft SQL Driver sqljdbc v4.0.
I created a new project and class. I edited the build path by adding the .jar file to the libraries.
I typed the following code:
package com.test.sql;
import java.sql.*;
public class Connect
{
public static void main (String[]args)
{
Connection con = null;
String conURL = "jdbc:sqlserver://localhost; databaseName=AnotherTestDB;";
try
{
con = DriverManager.getConnection(conURL);
}
catch(Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
I got the following error:
java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver found for jdbc:sqlserver://localhost; databaseName=AnotherTestDB;
at java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(Unknown Source)
at java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(Unknown Source)
at com.test.sql.Connect.main(Connect.java:11)
A bit more research and I was told put it in the java /lib/ext and reference it from there.
Nothing changed.
Any help?
Thanks.

Normally you need to register the driver before accessing to it:
Class.forName("com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver");

Try with something like this:
String DRIVER = “oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver”;
String DBURL = “jdbc:oracle:thin:#jiplc0.si.ehu.es:1512:Erreala”;
String UID = “USERNAME”;
String PWD = “PASSWORD”;
Driver kontrolatzailea = (Driver) (Class.forName(DRIVER).newInstance());
DriverManager.registerDriver(kontrolatzailea);
DefaultContext test = new DefaultContext(DBURL, UID, PWD, false);
DefaultContext.setDefaultContext(test);

Thanks for the responses.
I had both the sqljdbc4.jar and sqljdbc.jar referenced. The version of Java I am using requires that I use sqljdbc4.jar but it was being overwritten by sqljdbc.jar so I removed it.
I also changed my code to this:
public static void main (String[] args)
{
try
{
Class.forName("com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver");
String connectionUrl = "jdbc:sqlserver://nameMyLaptop//SQLEXPRESS";
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(connectionUrl);
}
//Insert catches
}
Apparently I didn't have to change the code but its not giving me that error now. I'm getting a new one but that's unrelated to my question.
Thanks for your time and responses.

You have to add the SQL JDBC Driver in your project libraries. download jtds.jar and add to your libraries. And follow the code below.
public static void main (String[] args) throws Exception{
Connection conn=null;
String url="jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://YourServerIp:1433/dbName";
String username="sa";
String password="****";
String driver="net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver";
// Step 1: Load the JDBC driver.
Class.forName(driver);
// Step 2: Establish the connection to the database.
conn= DriverManager.getConnection(url, username,
password);
}
Here you have to follow two steps......

Database Table 'PACIENTE' does not exist

I'm trying to make a java desktop database application, using the derby embedded database, I'm having some issues that I can't quite fix, and I've searched (a lot) for the answers, found some, but they couldn't solve my problem, so I decided to make a question myself. I made the database on netbeans, jut like a whole bunch of tutorials teach, downloaded the derby.jar and added to the library on the project, but then when I try to insert some data in the database's table that I created is says that the table doesn't exist.
I'm pretty sure i'm missing something really stupid, but I can't figure it out by myself, so any help will be very much appreciate. I'm new to all this java database development, I had only created local databases on c#
PS: The schema is the 'APP' one, I tried using "INSERT INTO APP.PACIENTE (ID, NOME) VALUES (1, 'victor')" but that didn't work either
public class BancoDados {
private static String url = "jdbc:derby:MeuBancoDados;create=true";
private static String driver = "org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver";
static Connection conn;
static Statement sta;
public static void insert() throws SQLException, ClassNotFoundException, InstantiationException, IllegalAccessException {
conn = null;
sta = null;
try {
Class.forName(driver);
conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url);
sta = conn.createStatement();
sta.executeUpdate("INSERT INTO PACIENTE (ID, NOME) VALUES (1, 'victor')");
sta.close();
conn.close();
System.out.println("Inserido com sucesso!");
} catch (Exception e) {
System.err.println("Exception: " + e.getMessage());
}
}
}
I get This error:
Exception in thread "main" ERROR 42X05: Table 'PACIENTE' does not exist.

Table 'PACIENTE' does not exist.
This is because in database you have not created the PACIENTE table.
Create it.

Simple Java web service issue

I want to create a webservice in Java that accesses a database stored in an external server. I have created a BeepWebService class containing the main information:
#WebService
public class BeepWebService {
private Connection conn = null;
private String url = "jdbc:mysql://xxxxxx.ipagemysql.com/";
private String dbName = "beep";
private String userName = "beep_user_name";
private String password = "pswrd";
private String db_str = " select Name beep.SW where Name = ";
public BeepWebService(){
try {
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance();
this.conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url+dbName,userName,password);
System.out.println("Connected to the database");
}catch (Exception e) {
System.out.print("failed");
}
}
#WebMethod
public String returnFormat(#WebParam(name="input_value") String input){
String str = null;
String query = db_str+input;
try {
Statement statement = conn.createStatement();
ResultSet rs = statement.executeQuery(query);
while (rs.next()) {
str = rs.getString(2);
System.out.println(str);
}
rs.close();
statement.close();
} catch (SQLException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return str;
}
}
I have then created the publisher class, named BeepWebServicePublisher:
public class BeepWebServicePublisher {
public static void main(String[] args){
System.out.println("Web Service initiating...");
Endpoint.publish("http://xxxxxx.ipagemysql.com/", new BeepWebService());
}
}
Unfortunately after compiling successfully the two classes and run the application, the output message is 'failed' (meaning that the connection couldn't be estabilished with the database) followed by an exception error. This is the complete output:
Web Service starting..
failedException in thread "main" com.sun.xml.internal.ws.server.ServerRtException: Server Runtime Error: java.net.BindException: Address already in use: bind

at com.sun.net.httpserver.HttpServer.create(Unknown Source)
... 6 more
As I am a novice in this field, can someone tell me if there is something wrong in the code or the problem may be with the server? Thanks!

Print out the entire stack trace; it'll give you more information than your "failed" message.
Where did you register the MySQL JDBC driver? I don't see it.
UPDATE: I'd recommend that you decompose the problem. Don't put the database code in the web service. Create an interface-based POJO that you can test off line. Get it working, then give an instance to the web service to use.
You have 99 problems, son. Start by fixing one at a time.
This is wrong:
private String db_str = " select Name beep.SW where Name = ";
You need a binding parameter:
private String db_str = " select Name beep.SW where Name = ?";
You need a PreparedStatement, not a Statement.
Then you want to bind the name you pass in.
You only have one column returned by the SELECT; why do you setString on column 2?
Wrong in so many ways.

Please help me..I did this application using the eclipse.I have put jar file also `sqljdbc4.jar'...
Please help me

You receive the exception:
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver
That means your program cannot find the Driver and therefore not even try to connect to the database.
Mircosoft has an article on How to Get Started with Microsoft JDBC:
The Microsoft SQL Server 2000 driver for JDBC .jar files must be listed in your CLASSPATH variable. The CLASSPATH variable is the search string that Java Virtual Machine (JVM) uses to locate the JDBC drivers on your computer..

As a complete guess, you have installed Express Edition (you should always mention the edition, not just the version) but you have not enabled TCP/IP support using the SQL Server Configuration Manager. By default, Express Edition does not have any network protocols enabled, so connecting over TCP/IP will not work unless you enable it first.

I think this is the driver that you need to use
com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver
not com.microsoft.jdbc.sqlserver.SQLServerDriver

Just do one thing go to http://www.java2s.com/Code/Jar/s/Downloadsqljdbcjar.htm and download the sqljdbc jar and use it in your program.
