JDBC-ODBC Bridge Connector for Talend Studio In this article you will learn how to quickly and efficiently integrate JDBC-ODBC Bridge data in Talend Studio without coding. We will use high-performance JDBC-ODBC Bridge Connector to easily connect to JDBC-ODBC Bridge and then access the data inside Talend Studio. 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 Talend Studio 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.

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 Talend Studio, 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 JDBC-ODBC Bridge data in Talend Studio

To read JDBC-ODBC Bridge data in Talend Studio, we'll need to complete several steps. Let's get through them all right away!

Create connection for input

1. First of all, open Talend Studio
2. Create a new connection:
3. Select Microsoft SQL Server connection:
4. Name your connection:
5. Fill-in connection parameters and then click Test connection:
   JdbcOdbcBridgeDSN

   
6. If the List of modules not installed for this operation window shows up, then download and install all of them:
   Review and accept all additional module license agreements during the process
7. Finally, you should see a successful connection test result at the end:

Add input

1. Once we have a connection to ZappySys Data Gateway created, we can proceed by creating a job:
2. Simply drag and drop ZappySys Data Gateway connection onto the job:
3. Then create an input based on ZappySys Data Gateway connection:
4. Continue by configuring a SQL query and click Guess schema button:
5. Finish by configuring the schema, for example:

Add output

Run the job
