I have a CACHE link into an old mumps based system. In order to access the old tables I install an ODBC driver and then access the tables using access or some other DB tool. I can also query them from my applications. My question is....Can I connect to the database from my Java applications without installing the ODBC driver on every machine. To simplify things I have an access database sitting on a shared network drive with the link tabls i need. Thanks J Back to top Jeff Guest Posted: Wed Dec 20, 2006 5:47 am    Post subject: Re: ODBC Connection Bob wrote: Quote: Hi Quick question. I have a CACHE link into an old mumps based system.

Thanks J The "without installing the ODBC driver on every machine" is the hard part, which is probably why no other responses. The challenge here is that _something_ needs to know how to talk to the mumps DB. Java doesn't inherently, so therefore there will need to be some sort of software that is installed on the client machines so they can talk mumps. Other than ODBC, you would need a Java mumps driver (like JConnector is for MySQL). A quick google search on java mumps found at http://www.abcisp.com/m01s02.html something called ESIObjects, which is open source and supposedly connects java apps to mumps dbs. Worth a look. /js Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         AppletTalk.com Forum Index -> Java and Databases All times are GMT Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum Java Newsgroups----------------Java DiscussionsWeb-based java games comp.lang.java 3D Graphics API's for Java Java: Support and criticism Java System Announcements comp.lang.java.api JavaBeans Java and CORBA Java and Databases comp.lang.java.developer Java GUI Toolkits Java Help comp.lang.java.javascript JVM, native methods and hardware comp.lang.java.misc Java Language Programming Security and Java comp.lang.java.setup Java Software Tools comp.lang.java.tech ibm.software.java.linux  Non-English Java Newsgroups----------------Java Language (German)Language Java (Français)Java (Italian)  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum Powered by phpBB © 2001, 2006 phpBB Group SEO toolkit © 2004-2006 webmedic.
