Java Tutorial/Database/Access

Create a connection to MS Access database

   <source lang="java">

import java.sql.Connection; import java.sql.DriverManager; public class Main {

 // private static final String URL = "jdbc:odbc:TestDB";
 private static final String USERNAME = "admin";
 private static final String PASSWORD = "welcome";
 private static final String DRIVER = "sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver";
 private static final String URL = "jdbc:odbc:Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=D:\\Database\\testdb.mdb;}";
 public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
   Class.forName(DRIVER);
   Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection(URL, USERNAME, PASSWORD);
   connection.close();
 }

}</source>

Using DSN-less connection

   <source lang="java">

import java.sql.Connection; import java.sql.DriverManager; public class Main {

 public static void main(String[] argv) throws Exception {
   Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
   String myDB = "jdbc:odbc:Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=C:/data.MDB";
   Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(myDB, "", "");
 }

}</source>
