JDBC-ODBC Bridge Connector for SSRS In this article you will learn how to quickly and efficiently integrate JDBC-ODBC Bridge data in SSRS without coding. We will use high-performance JDBC-ODBC Bridge Connector to easily connect to JDBC-ODBC Bridge and then access the data inside SSRS. 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. Let's follow the steps below to see how we can accomplish that! Download Documentation JDBC-ODBC Bridge Connector for SSRS is based on ZappySys JDBC Bridge Driver which is part of ODBC PowerPack. It is a collection of high-performance ODBC drivers that enable you to integrate data in SQL Server, SSIS, a programming language, or any other ODBC-compatible application. ODBC PowerPack supports various file formats, sources and destinations, including REST/SOAP API, SFTP/FTP, storage services, and plain files, to mention a few.

Video Tutorial - Integrate JDBC-ODBC Bridge data in SSRS

This video covers following and more so watch carefully. After watching this video follow the steps described in this article.

• How to download / install required driver for JDBC-ODBC Bridge integration in SSRS
• How to configure connection for JDBC-ODBC Bridge
• Features about JDBC Driver (Authentication / Query Language / Examples / Driver UI)
• Using JDBC-ODBC Bridge Connection in SSRS

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure you meet the following prerequisite:

• Java 8 Runtime Environment (JRE) installed. It is recommended to use these distributions:

  • Amazon Corretto 8
  • Oracle JRE 8

Download your Java application JDBC driver

To connect to your Java application in SSRS, you will have to download JDBC driver for it, which we will use in later steps. Let's perform these two little steps right away:

1. Visit Maven Repository portal, which is a central location for downloading Java libraries.
2. Download your Java application JDBC driver matching your running instance version and save it locally, e.g. to D:\Drivers\JDBC\app-jdbc.jar.
3. Done! That was easy, wasn't it? Let's proceed to the next step.

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.

   JdbcOdbcBridgeDSN

   Native - ZappySys JDBC Bridge Driver

   

5. Now, we need to configure the JDBC connection in the new ODBC data source. Simply enter the Connection string, credentials, configure other settings, and then click Test Connection button to test the connection:

   JdbcOdbcBridgeDSN

   jdbc:exampleApp://app-service-host-name.com:1234

   com.provider.exampleApp.jdbc.AppDriver

   D:\Drivers\JDBC\app-jdbc.jar

   admin

   *************

   [{"Name":"AppParameter","Value":"12345"}]

   
   ZappySys JDBC Bridge Driver allows you to connect to any Java application that supports JDBC.

6. You should see a message saying that connection test is successful:

   

7. We are at the point where we can preview a SQL query. For more SQL query examples visit JDBC Bridge documentation:

   JdbcOdbcBridgeDSN

   SELECT * FROM orders

   

   SELECT * FROM orders

   You can also click on the <Select Table> dropdown and select a table from the list.

   The ZappySys JDBC Bridge Driver acts as a transparent intermediary, passing SQL queries directly to the Trino JDBC driver, which then handles the query execution. This means the Bridge Driver simply relays the SQL query without altering it.

   Some JDBC drivers don't support INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE statements, so you may get an error saying "action is not supported" or a similar one. Please, be aware, this is not the limitation of ZappySys JDBC Bridge Driver, but is a limitation of the specific JDBC driver you are using.

8. Click OK to finish creating the data source.

Read data in SSRS from ZappySys Data Gateway

1. Open Visual Studio and create a new SSRS project
2. Then add a new Shared Data Source (you can create a non-shared data source inside report too):
3. Continue with creating the Shared Data Source. Select Microsoft SQL Server as Type and hit Build button to proceed further:
4. Once a window opens, configure it similarly. Configure "JdbcOdbcBridgeDSN" as database name. Finally, hit Test Connection and OK:
   JdbcOdbcBridgeDSN

   
5. Another window opens, and it should look similarly to this one below which ends the creation of a Data Source:
6. Now it's time to create a Dataset. If you don't have a report created, in one of the wizard's steps it will look like this:
7. If you did not follow through report's creation wizard and already had report created, you can simply add a new dataset:
8. Finally, once you complete the report, similar results show up:
