Install Oracle Jdbc Driver

  
Active3 years, 10 months ago

If you are using Microsoft SDK for Java with jdbcKona/Oracle, you will need to install a different.dll for the jdbcKona/Oracle driver and use SDK version 3.1 or greater. You will also need to install a separate.dll to work with your debugger: Add the distribution directory weblogic bin to your PATH. I have eclipse and j developer,I am more comfortable with eclipse.I want to know how to setup the JDBC driver in eclipse,I downloaded a driver from oracle.com but it does not appear anywhere when I browse after clicking 'external jars' in 'java build path' in 'libraries' tab. My database is Oracle express edition.

I have eclipse and j developer,I am more comfortable with eclipse.I want to know how to setup the JDBC driver in eclipse,I downloaded a driver from oracle.com but it does not appear anywhere when I browse after clicking 'external jars' in 'java build path' in 'libraries' tab. My database is Oracle express edition.

Are there any good pdf's or tutorials for java application development?I want to make a front end application where I enter data into fields and it inserts into DB,and make it such that we can also retrieve information when we enter for example an ID.

What are the materials required for this?I don't want to learn too deep but I want to learn in the process(this is not a project just something I wanna achieve this month) so I am guessing i need1. a book on awt,swing classes2. I need to set this JDBC thing I don't understand how to get it up and running in eclipse,i type code it gives me error.3.a book on how to connect java to oracle express edition DB.I have JDK 1.7.0.0.3

Thanks in advance(i'm a beginner ;))

If you're wanting to include a JAR file to your Eclipse project, you would generally create a 'lib' folder inside the project folder, and put the file in there. You then need to tell eclipse to include it in your class path so your code will compile and run inside eclipse.

To do that:- Go into the properties of your project- Select 'Java Build Path' in the left hand column- Select the 'Libraries' tab in the centre part of the window- Click the Add JARs button - this will give you a list of your projects in eclipse - expand your project and into the lib folder - your jar will be there.- Select the JAR, click OK, and OK again out of the properties window.

Or, you can just right-click the jar and click BuildPath->Add to Build Path.

You asked how to 'set up jdbc in eclipse'. Here is my take on your question. If this isn't the answer to your question maybe it will help someone else.

Also - I'm using kepler eclipse. (really jboss dev studio version based on kepler)

First set up the driver.

Preferences -> Connectivity -> Driver Definitions

Click Add.. and follow the prompts. You will be able to test the connection at this point. Eclipse makes it obvious how! (Click the Test connection button)

Close the Preferences window. In the main window

Window -> Show View.. -> Data Source Explorer

Right click on Database Connections. Select New.. and follow the prompts.

You'll be able to open the connection and browse your database. Madden nfl 08 download.

As far as JPA-enabling your application, there may be a way to have eclipse set that up (ie right click on your project and maybe there is something in the context menu). It would set up a persistence.xml file in the right place and maybe other things. I don't know off the top of my head.

Hope this helps.

Select the option of Add External Jar from the Build path and then browse to the location where the Jar is downloaded, select it and add it.

If you are not able to find the Jar while browsing through build path, check the location in windows explorer and confirm that it is where you are searching for it.

When you deploy an application that depends on the Microsoft JDBC Driver for SQL Server, you must redistribute the JDBC driver together with your application. Unlike Windows Data Access Components (Windows DAC), which is a component of the Windows operating system, the JDBC driver is considered to be a component of SQL Server.

Driver

There are two approaches to deploying the JDBC driver with your application. One is to include the JDBC driver files as part of your own custom installation package. The second approach involves using the JDBC installation package provided by Microsoft, which you can download from the Microsoft JDBC Driver for SQL Server Developer Center.

The following sections discuss how to use the JDBC installation package on Windows and UNIX operating systems.

Note

For information about deploying Java applications in general, see the Java website.

Deploying the JDBC driver on Windows systems

When you deploy the JDBC driver on Windows operating systems, you must use the executable zip file version of the installation package, which is typically named sqljdbc_<version>_<language>.exe.

sqljdbc_<version>_<language>.exe /auto

Note

When you use the /auto option it is not a truly silent installation, as a WinZip dialog box still appears on the user's screen. However, you will not need to interact with it and it closes as soon as the unzip operation is complete.

Deploying the driver on UNIX systems

When you deploy the JDBC driver on UNIX operating systems, you must use the gzip file version of the installation package, which is typically named sqljdbc_<version>_<language>.tar.gz.

Before you install the JDBC driver, make sure that both the gzip and tar utilities are installed on the user's system, and that the folders that contain the executables for both utilities are added to the PATH environment variable.

How To Install Oracle Jdbc Driver

To unpack the zipped tar file, navigate to the directory where you want the driver unpacked and type the following command:

gzip -d sqljdbc_<version>_<language>.tar.gz

To unpack the tar file, move it to the directory where you want the driver installed and type the following command:

tar -xf sqljdbc_<version>_<language>.tar
