JDBC-ODBC - MS Access Database and Driver Info
This section describes how to get some basic info about the Access database and the driver through the JDBC DatabaseMetaData object.
If you want to know the Access database name and version, or the JDBC driver name and version, you can get them through the DatabaseMetaData object as shown in the following sample program:
/* OdbcAccessDatabaseInfo.java * Copyright (c) HerongYang.com. All Rights Reserved. */ import java.sql.*; public class OdbcAccessDatabaseInfo { public static void main(String [] args) { Connection con = null; try { Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver"); con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:HY_ACCESS"); // Database and driver info DatabaseMetaData meta = con.getMetaData(); System.out.println("Server name: " + meta.getDatabaseProductName()); System.out.println("Server version: " + meta.getDatabaseProductVersion()); System.out.println("Driver name: " + meta.getDriverName()); System.out.println("Driver version: " + meta.getDriverVersion()); System.out.println("JDBC major version: " + meta.getJDBCMajorVersion()); System.out.println("JDBC minor version: " + meta.getJDBCMinorVersion()); con.close(); } catch (Exception e) { System.err.println("Exception: "+e.getMessage()); } } }
If you run this program you will get:
herong> progra~1\java\jdk1.7.0_45\bin\javac OdbcAccessDatabaseInfo.java herong> progra~1\java\jdk1.7.0_45\bin\java OdbcAccessDatabaseInfo Server name: ACCESS Server version: 04.00.0000 Driver name: JDBC-ODBC Bridge (odbcjt32.dll) Driver version: 2.0001 (04.00.6304) JDBC major version: 2 JDBC minor version: 0
Note that ODBC driver reported that the version of MS Access used to create this database is 04.00.0000.
