∟JDBC-ODBC - Connecting to a DSN

This section describes how to connect to a DSN (Data Source Name) with JDBC-ODBC Bridge.

After I have my DSN, HY_DSN, created to represent a flat text file, now I am going to try to connect my Java program to this DSN with JDBC-ODBC Bridge using the DriverManager.getConnection() method:

DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:dsn_name");

Here is my sample program showing you how to connect to my DSN with JDBC-ODBC Bridge:

/**
 * OdbcDsnConnection.java
 * Copyright (c) 2007 by Dr. Herong Yang. All rights reserved.
 */
import java.sql.*;
public class OdbcDsnConnection {
  public static void main(String [] args) {
    Connection con = null;
    try {
      Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver") ;

// Connect with a url string
      con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:HY_DSN");
      System.out.println("DSN Connection ok.");
      con.close();

    } catch (Exception e) {
      System.err.println("Exception: "+e.getMessage());
    }
  }
}

The output confirms that the connection method worked correctly:

C:\>javac OdbcDsnConnection.java

C:\>java OdbcDsnConnection
DSN Connection ok.
