JDBC-ODBC Bridge Connector for JAVA In this article you will learn how to integrate JDBC-ODBC Bridge data in JAVA (live / bi-directional connection to JDBC-ODBC Bridge). JDBC-ODBC Bridge driver can be used to consume data from any JDBC Driver in non JAVA apps (i.e. Excel, Power BI, C#). Many apps written in C++ or .net (e.g. Excel, Power BI, Informatica) which don’t have direct support for using JAVA based JDBC driver technology.. Using JDBC-ODBC Bridge Connector you will be able to connect, read, and write data from within JAVA. Follow the steps below to see how we would accomplish that. Download Documentation The driver mentioned above is part of ODBC PowerPack which is a collection of high-performance Drivers for various API data source (i.e. REST API, JSON, XML, CSV, Amazon S3 and many more). Using familiar SQL query language you can make live connections and read/write data from API sources or JSON / XML / CSV Files inside SQL Server (T-SQL) or your favorite Reporting (i.e. Power BI, Tableau, Qlik, SSRS, MicroStrategy, Excel, MS Access), ETL Tools (i.e. Informatica, Talend, Pentaho, SSIS). You can also call our drivers from programming languages such as JAVA, C#, Python, PowerShell etc. If you are new to ODBC and ZappySys ODBC PowerPack then check the following links to get started.

Create Data Source in ZappySys Data Gateway based on JDBC Bridge Driver

1. Download and install ZappySys ODBC PowerPack.

2. Search for gateway in start menu and Open ZappySys Data Gateway:
   

3. Go to Users Tab to add our first Gateway user. Click Add; we will give it a name tdsuser and enter password you like to give. Check Admin option and click OK to save. We will use these details later when we create linked server:
   

4. Now we are ready to add a data source. Click Add, give data source a name (Copy this name somewhere, we will need it later) and then select Native - ZappySys JDBC Bridge Driver. Finally, click OK. And it will create the Data Set for it and open the ZS driver UI.

   

5. Now, we need JDBC Bridge Connection. Lets create it. When you see DSN Config Editor with zappysys logo first thing you need to do is change default DSN Name at the top and Configure JDBC Bridge Driver. Enter Credentials (In this Example We have used PostgreSQL Credentials) and then Click on Test Connection to verify your credentials.

   Note: Enter suitable JDBC Driver Credentials, You can read data from any JDBC Driver
   

6. This example shows how to write simple SOQL query (JDBC Bridge Object Query Language). It uses WHERE clause. For more SOQL Queries click here.
   SOQL is similar to database SQL query language but much simpler and many features you use in database query may not be supported in SOQL (Such as JOIN clause not supported). But you can use following Queries for Insert, Update, Delete and Upsert(Update or Insert record if not found).

   SELECT orderid, customerid, orderdate, orderamount FROM "public"."zappysys"
   

7. Click OK to finish creating the data source

Read data in Java from the DSN

1. Java code to get the data:
   

   "jdbc:sqlserver://localhost:5000;databasename=JdbC-OdbcBridgeDSN;user=tdsuser;password=test"

   

2. When you run the code it will make the API call and read the data:
   

3. Here is Java program's code in text format:

   
   //Step-1: Install ZappySys ODBC PowerPack and Configure Data Gateway
   
   //Step-2:Assuming the Microsoft SQL Server JDBC Driver is in below folder
   //C:\Program Files\Microsoft Jdbc Driver 6.0 for SQL Server\sqljdbc_6.0\enu\auth\x64
   package padaone;
   
   import java.sql.*;
   
   public class zappy {
   
       public static void main(String[] args) {
   
           // Create a variable for the connection string.
           String connectionUrl = "jdbc:sqlserver://localhost:5000;databasename=JdbC-OdbcBridgeDSN;user=test;password=test";
   
           // Declare the JDBC objects.
           Connection con = null;
           Statement stmt = null;
           ResultSet rs = null;
   
               try {
                   // Establish the connection.
                   Class.forName("com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver");
                   con = DriverManager.getConnection(connectionUrl);
   
                   // Create and execute an SQL statement that returns some data.
                   String SQL = "SELECT Country , SUM(UnitPrice * Quantity) Total " 
                              + "FROM value " 
                              + "GROUP BY Country "
                              + "WITH (SRC='https://services.odata.org/V3/Northwind/Northwind.svc/Invoices?$format=json')";
                   stmt = con.createStatement();
                   rs = stmt.executeQuery(SQL);
   
                   // Iterate through the data in the result set and display it.
                   while (rs.next()) {
                       System.out.println(rs.getString(1) + " " + rs.getString(2));
                   }
               }
   
           // Handle any errors that may have occurred.
           catch (Exception e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
           } 
           
           finally {
               if (rs != null) try { rs.close(); } catch (Exception e) {}
               if (stmt != null) try { stmt.close(); } catch (Exception e) {}
               if (con != null) try { con.close(); } catch (Exception e) {}
           }
       }
   }
