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) HerongYang.com. 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) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
The output confirms that the connection method worked correctly:
herong> progra~1\java\jdk1.7.0_45\bin\javac OdbcDsnConnection.java herong> progra~1\java\jdk1.7.0_45\bin\java OdbcDsnConnection DSN Connection ok.
