Open original thread
Hey all, All i would like is assistance to connecting to a database with the .odb file extension

Java
//Put this at the beginning  of your program 	
private static final String DATABASE_FILE_NAME = "OfMiceAndMen.mdb"; // this is the usual dbcon system.
private static final String DRIVER = "jdbc:odbc:DRIVER=" + "{Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};" + "DBQ=" + new File (DATABASE_FILE_NAME).getAbsolutePath () + ";";


	static
	{
		try
		{
			Class.forName ("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
		}
		catch (ClassNotFoundException e)
		{
			System.out.println ("Class not found");
			e.printStackTrace ();
		}
	}

	private Connection dbcon 
//put this in the method where you are running your query
dbcon = DriverManager.getConnection (DRIVER);
Statement stmt = dbcon.createStatement ();
String sql = "SELECT Cue, lights, sound, projection, stagedir, ID FROM Cues WHERE ID = " + I + " "; //4
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery (sql);

while (rs.next ())
{
String c = rs.getString ("Cue");// Cue is the name of the column being queried
c = c + "";
}

When answering a question please:
  1. Read the question carefully.
  2. Understand that English isn't everyone's first language so be lenient of bad spelling and grammar.
  3. If a question is poorly phrased then either ask for clarification, ignore it, or edit the question and fix the problem. Insults are not welcome.
  4. Don't tell someone to read the manual. Chances are they have and don't get it. Provide an answer or move on to the next question.
