Connecting to remote SQL Server using SQL Driver in Java

Key notes:
Using SQL Server 2005
Using JDK 1.8
JDK 1.8 DOES NOT SUPPORT JDBC-ODBC Bridge ANYMORE
I have both Microsoft SQLJDBC 4.0 and 6.2 in my library
I am trying to connect to a remote SQL Server in Java for quite some time now and still have not been able to. I am hoping to connect using my DSN that I have created. The new driver JDK 1.8 uses needs a connection URL which I have created below. Everything in the code below looks correct. But I am still getting the error:
SEVERE: Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version 1.8 is not supported by this driver. Use the sqljdbc4.jar class library, which provides support for JDBC 4.0.
java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version 1.8 is not supported by this driver.
Use the sqljdbc4.jar class library, which provides support for JDBC 4.0.
Here is my code:
String connectionUrl = "jdbc:sqlserver://InterfaceDSN" +
"databaseName=DB_Local;Trusted_Connection=True;integratedSecurity=true";
// Declare the JDBC objects.
Connection con = null;
Statement stmt = null;
ResultSet rs = null;
try
{
Class.forName("com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver");
con = DriverManager.getConnection(connectionUrl);
String SQL = "SELECT TOP 10 * FROM Person.Contact";
stmt = con.createStatement();
rs = stmt.executeQuery(SQL);
while (rs.next()) {
System.out.println(rs.getString(4) + " " + rs.getString(6));
}
}catch (Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
To conclude:
Knowing what I have and what I need, is there another way to connect to the database, I am running out of options here considering I am using JDK 1.8 with SQL Server 2005.

What is happening
As the message says:
java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version 1.8 is not supported by this driver.
Use the sqljdbc4.jar class library, which provides support for JDBC 4.0.
This is because JDBC4.0 has a lot of changes, meaning you need to use a newer version of the driver. You cannot run the old driver on the new version.
How to fix it
Using just 6.2 or version 6.2.2.jre8 should fix the issue.
Extra info
You shouldn't need the below code after JDBC 4.0 (Java 1.6+)
Class.forName("com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver");

Starting with the Microsoft JDBC Driver 4.2 for SQL Server, Sun Java
SE Development Kit (JDK) 8.0 and Java
You can read it here where you can find the requirements for the JDBC Driver.
So, you have to update your JDBC driver to v 4.2 at least. This is clear enough.

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

I am attempting to run some queries using JDBC and keep getting this error:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalStateException: error
at com.mycompany.app.App.writer(App.java:195)
at com.mycompany.app.App.main(App.java:19)
Caused by: java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver found for jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/dbname
here is the relevant part of my code:
public class App {
writer();
}
public static void writer() {
String url = "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/dbname
String username = "root";
String password = "password";
try (Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection(url, username, password)) {
Statement st = connection.createStatement();
ResultSet r= st.executeQuery("insert query here");
} catch (SQLException e) {
throw new IllegalStateException("error");
}
}
}
When I run it through Intellij Idea it works, but I need it to run on a server running Centos.
I have tried running it with this commands:
javac -cp "filepath/mysql-connector-java-5.1.35-bin.jar" App.java
java -cp ".filepath/mysql-connector-java-5.1.35-bin.jar" App
I have tried running it using maven, including
<dependency>
<groupId>mysql</groupId>
<artifactId>mysql-connector-java</artifactId>
<version>5.1.35</version>
</dependency>
in pom.xml and still get the same error
I have looked through many articles online (and stack questions) and still can't find the solution.
The server is running CentoOS 6.6 and the database is running locally.
I am using:
java version "1.8.0_45"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_45-b14)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.45-b02, mixed mode)

Entries on the classpath on Unix-like operating systems must be separated by :. Add a : between . (which indicates the current directory) and the path of the jar:
java -cp .:filepath/mysql-connector-java-5.1.35-bin.jar App

Alternatively, you may place your mysql-connector-java-5.1.35-bin.jar to the following directory -
JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext
If you place the jar in this directory then you don't have to add it to classpath by using command.

You can try loading the driver class using class.forName("qualified name of driver class"). This should resolve the issue if you're not facing the issue of class path with maven. Have a look at this where
the index tag was removed from pom and it worked.

Java connection to access database fails?

Iam using windows 8.1 (64 bit) with microsoft office 32bit version. Iam trying to connect to an access file to retrieve username and password but the connection to the access database cannot be made, I have searched alot on the internet but can't seem to find a solution for this problem. I downloaded office 64bit with Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable but I still get the same error. What should I do to overcome this issue?
Java method:
dbcon()
{
try{
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
con=DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:db5");
}catch(Exception e){
System.out.println(e);
}
}
Error:
java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified
java.lang.NullPointerException
null

This may be the fact that your ODBC driver is 32 bit, which can not be recognized by the 64 bit Java. Either create a 64 bit ODBC driver or run Java in 32 bit mode (-D32 switch).

Try with the following connection string:
"jdbc:odbc:Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb, *.accdb)}; DBQ=full_path_to_your_db_file"

sqljdbc_auth.dll: Can't load AMD 64-bit .dll on a IA 32-bit platform

I am trying to connect to SQL Server 2008 from JAVA code using JDBC sql server with IntegratedSecurity to use Windows Authentication.
SQL authentication worked fine with the code but when I use IntegratedSecurity for Windows Authentication, I am facing sql driver issues. I have provided the brief scenario below.
Java Code
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.ResultSet;
import java.sql.Statement;
public class Sqlselection
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
try
{
Class.forName("com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver");
System.out.println("This programe runs on "+ System.getProperty("java.version"));
String url="jdbc:sqlserver://*****\\*****;integratedSecurity=true";
//Masked Server name & DB name
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(url);
Statement s1 = con.createStatement();
ResultSet rs = s1.executeQuery("SELECT count(1) myrecords FROM dbo.mytable");
String[] result = new String[20];
if(rs!=null){
while (rs.next()){
for(int i = 0; i <result.length ;i++)
{
for(int j = 0; j <result.length;j++)
{
result[j]=rs.getString(i);
System.out.println(result[j]);
}
}
}
}
} catch (Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}

Notes
Can someone kindly help me with the fix. I am new to JAVA coding and I have tried all the solutions given for similar kind of posts.

Finally found the solution myself by re-installing Windows OS.
Used the same code above with sqljdbc4.jar & below VM argument
-Djava.library.path=E:\sqljdbc_4.0\enu\auth\x86\
I was able to connect successfully.

JDBC driver MS Access connection

I want connect my MS access file with Java GUI program,but I have problem with connection....
I have Windows 7 64b, and ms office 2007.
When I opened the ODBC driver manager in the control panel I havent found any driver for Microsoft Access (maybe when I started the ODBC is started running the 64bit ODBC, now I think is running the 32bit ODBC.
I read this and I make it :
"jdbc-odbc connection for window 7 64 bit machine..
1 . Right click Data source (ODBC)..go to properties change the folloing thing
target [ %SystemRoot%\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe ]
start in : [ %SystemRoot%\System32 ]
press enter and continue as admin source: source link
"
) Now when I start in conctrol pannel the ODBC I can see the driver screenshoot
My program code(I tried two ways but I have same error):
public void Connect() {
try {
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
// String DatabaseFile = "D:java/Invertory.mdb";
// String DATABASE =
// "jdbc:odbc:Driver="
// + "{Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb, *.accdb)};"
// + "DBQ=" + DatabaseFile;`enter code here`
String DATABASE ="jdbc:odbc:Driver= Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb, *.accdb);DBQ=Invertory.mdb";
CONEX = DriverManager.getConnection(DATABASE);
} catch (Exception X) {
X.printStackTrace();
//JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,e);
}
}
error
java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified

Use UCanAccess JDBC Driver :
Class.forName("net.ucanaccess.jdbc.UcanaccessDriver");
Connection conn=DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:ucanaccess://<mdb or accdb file path>",user, password);
for example:
Connection conn=DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:ucanaccess://c:/pippo.mdb");
So for your example it will be Connection conn=DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:ucanaccess://"+path)

If you are using Windows 64-bit you probably need to go to this path
C:/Windows/SysWOW64/odbcad32.exe
Then I noticed that you are using the direct path instead creating new System DSN, your direct path is correct till the path to the access file you must give the full path like this :
jdbc:odbc:Driver= Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb, *.accdb);DBQ=path/to/Invertory.mdb"
To get the path you probably need to use java.io.File that have a method returns the abslute path to the file see the example :
import java.sql.*;
public class TestConnection {
Connection con ;
Statement st ;
ResultSet rs ;
String db;
public TestConnection (){
try{
String path = new java.io.File("Invertory.mdb").getAbsolutePath();
db ="JDBC:ODBC:Driver=Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb, *.accdb); DBQ="+path;
doConnection();
} catch(NullPointerException ex){
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}
public void doConnection(){
try{
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
con = DriverManager.getConnection(db);
st = con.createStatement();
rs = st.executeQuery("select * from Invertory");
while(rs.next()){
System.out.println(rs.getObject(1));
}
}catch(SQLException | ClassNotFoundException ex){
System.out.println(ex.toString());
}
}
public static void main(String...argS){
new TestConnection();
}
}

I answered a similar question enter link description here a while back.
Basically at that time:
You could connect to Ms-Access from 32 bit java through the JDBC-ODBC bridge
You could not connect to a 32 bit Odbc driver through the JDBC-ODBC from 64 bit java. There was a message telling you that you can only connect from a 32 bit programs
While Microsoft does provide a 64 bit Ms-Access driver, it did not work with Java's 64 bit JDBC-ODBC driver.
Since then there seems to be a new open-source Ms-Access JDBC Driver Ms-Access JDBC driver. I have no Idea how good it is.

You just missing something in your code right here :
db ="JDBC:ODBC:Driver=Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb, *.accdb); DBQ="+path;
You need to add {} between Driver= and )=; .
Like this Below
db ="JDBC:ODBC:Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb, *.accdb)}; DBQ="+path;

final String fileName = "c:/myDataBase.mdb"
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
String url = "jdbc:odbc:Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ="+fileName;
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(url,username,password);

The problem is that you should run on Java 32 bit try to install latest JDK and it will work
I run it using JDK version "jdk-7u67-windows-i586.exe"

On a 64 bit system, you should:
run as admin accessdatabaseengine_64.exe
run java - 7-64 bit - jre.

if you are working in NETBEANS then after unzipping ucanacess.zip file add all jar file in the classpath using property window of project click on compile tab and add jar file then compile and test app.

JDBC-ODBC MS-ACCESS CONNECTION STOPPED WORKING IN JDK8. I solved the issue by installing JDK7 along with JDK8 in the same PC, once installed JDK7 I assigned it as the JDK version to use in my project as follows in Netbeans:
1.RIGHT CLICK THE PROJECT IN THE LIST > CLICK PROPERTIES
2.CLICK LIBRARIES ON THE LEFT NAVIGATION TREE
3.CLICK BUTTON MANAGE PLATFORMS > CLICK BUTTON ADD PLATFORM...
4.FOLLOW WIZARD, DESPITE IT SHOWS JAVA STANDARD EDITION CLICK NEXT
5.NAVIGATE TO C:\Program Files (x86)\Java AND SELECT THE FOLDER OF JDK7 > CLICK NEXT
6.THE FIELD AUTOFILL WITH THE RIGHT INFO... > THEN CLICK FINISH
7.SELECT THE JDK PLATFORM FROM THE LIST > CLICK CLOSE > OK
8.JDK7 SHOULD SHOW IN LIBRARIES PACKAGE.
JDK7 in Libraries Package
Click Back in Browser to return here after looking at the image...
From here on everything must run smoothly.
Hope it solves your problem.
Thanks.
