Accessing ODBC data [message #242890] Fri, 15 June 2007 07:48 Go to next message

Hi All,

I have been working with BIRT to report on some of MySQL data and I'm
pretty impressed with the results so far.

Now, I need to include some MS Access data, data I can only access through
ODBC.

Does anybody has a proven method to do this ?

1. I know that sun has a JDBC/ODBC bridge included the JDK.
Is that the way to go?
How do you include this bridge into the BIRT Managed Drivers?

2. I have also tried the hxtt MS Access JDBC drivers.
They do work for small MS Access tables, but fail with the larger ones.

Your documented experiences are welcome !

Cheers,

Luke

Luke,

You can access a ODBC source by entering
sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver as the driver class.
The driver url would be something like:
jdbc:odbc:mydb

Hi Jason,

Thanks for your answer.

Still, jdbc:odbc:mydb is simply not in the options of my 'Driver Class'
list.
So I need to include it by using the 'Manage Driver...'.
But I don't know what JAR file to add.

Anybody ?

Luke,

You should be able to type in
sun.jdbc.JdbcOdbcDriver as the driver class. It is not in the drop
down, but you can type it in.

the jdbc:odbc:mydb is the url.
