I've tried most of the examples found here and the web, but I can't open a MS access database(2002 or 2013) and get an updatable result set using UCanAccess. The same code using the JDBC:ODBC driver/connection/works. I've written short test code to check concur_updatable to check this, so I must be missing something. I'm using JDK 1.7 on a Win7 machine. I also have another machine with the same results. This works:
/*
class jdbc, for testing jdbc:odbc CONCUR_UPDATABLE.
*/
import java.sql.*;
public class jdbc {
private static String dbFQN;
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
dbFQN = ("C:\\phil\\programming\\kpjl2002.mdb");
String database = "jdbc:odbc:Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=" + dbFQN;
System.out.println("Loading database: " + database);
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(database, "", "");
Statement s = conn.createStatement(ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_SENSITIVE, ResultSet.CONCUR_UPDATABLE);
// Fetch records from table
String selTable = "SELECT * FROM " + "tblLibrary" + " ORDER BY Artist, Cat, Cart";
s.execute(selTable);
ResultSet rs = s.getResultSet();
int concurrency = rs.getConcurrency();
if(concurrency == ResultSet.CONCUR_UPDATABLE)
{
System.out.println("rs is updatable");
} else {
System.out.println("rs Not updatable");
}
s.close();
conn.close();
} //close try
catch (Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
} //close catch
} //close main method
} //close dbAccess class
The output is that rs is updatable.
This doesn't work:
/*

import java.sql.*;
public class ucan {
private static String dbFQN;
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
dbFQN = ("C:\\phil\\programming\\kpjl2002.mdb");
String database = "jdbc:ucanaccess://" + dbFQN;
System.out.println("Loading database: " + database);
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(database, "", "");
Statement s = conn.createStatement(ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_SENSITIVE, ResultSet.CONCUR_UPDATABLE);
// Fetch records from table
String selTable = "SELECT * FROM " + "tblLibrary" + " ORDER BY Artist, Cat, Cart";
s.execute(selTable);
ResultSet rs = s.getResultSet();
int concurrency = rs.getConcurrency();
if(concurrency == ResultSet.CONCUR_UPDATABLE)
{
System.out.println("rs is updatable");
} else {
System.out.println("rs Not updatable");
}
s.close();
conn.close();
} //close try
catch (Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
} //close catch
} //close main method
} //close dbAccess class
the output is that rs is Not updatable. So I cannot update or insert rows in the resultset.
The code posted is the operative part of a larger project, where UCanAccess can read the table and put the contents in a jList and jTextarea, with formatting. When I started writing code to update or add a new record, I ran into the problem.
I apologize if this is a bit long. Anybody have an idea what I'm missing or doing wrong?
BTW, this is one of my 2 fav sites for good, usable Java answers.
UPDATE: Got an idea from old co-worker, the original database may have been copied from an original Access97 db. to a 2000 db. I had used 2013 Repair and Compact to make "new" 2002 and 2013 db's. Access must retain '97 type even when doing what I did. So, I created a new 2013 dummy db to test, and UCanAccess will report resultset as updatable. I will try to recreate the record data of the current db in a new database file, and see if that works. I'm hoping this is the problem, since UCanAccess doesn't support updatability with Access97 db's. I'll let ya'll know what I find. Thanks.
