You need to use either a type 3 (A net-protocol fully Java technology-enabled driver translates JDBC API calls into a DBMS-independent net protocol which is then translated to a DBMS protocol by a server. This net server middleware is able to connect all of its Java technology-based clients to many different databases. The specific protocol used depends on the vendor. In general, this is the most flexible JDBC API alternative.) or type 4 (A native-protocol fully Java technology-enabled driver converts JDBC technology calls into the network protocol used by DBMSs directly. This allows a direct call from the client machine to the DBMS server and is a practical solution for Intranet access. Since many of these protocols are proprietary the database vendors themselves will be the primary source for this style of driver.) JDBC driver to connect properly.

It is fine to know the conection of ODBC to MS ACCESS in Program.Buti wul’d like to know how to go control panel and then to ODBC and to give the

> if i am right your code does not require the data source name..

Yes, the beauty of it is that it doesn’t require datasource name.

> i would like to know what your url means and how to construct such an url..

Just reuse the code I have provided. It is the format which jdbc-odbc bridge driver understands and converts to appropriate format for underlying odbc layer. In short just reuse my code.

hi angsuman,

your code was really useful. everything makes sense..
but i would like you to throw some light on how you constructed the dburl..
if i am right your code does not require the data source name..
i would like to know what your url means and how to construct such an url..

[...] Previously I had provided the gist of how to access MS Access database from JDBC using JDBC-ODBC bridge. Today I will elaborate on that and provide you with two sample classes. The first - AccessJDBCUtil.java defines a method which provides you with a connection to the ms access database. The second - AccessJDBCTest.java uses the first to execute any given query (DDL & DML supported) on any ms access database and displays the result on console. [...]
