How to use Microsoft Access database with spring boot and spring data - database

Question

Here is my application.properties file:
spring.datasource.url=jdbc:odbc:DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=BD_Name.mdb")
spring.datasource.username=
spring.datasource.password=
spring.datasource.driver-class-name=sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver
spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto=create
spring.jpa.show-sql=true
and I use jdk7 which contains the driver sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver but when I start, springBoot return the exception "couldn't load driver".

Answer 1

First, you need the following dependencies
<dependency>
<groupId>net.sf.ucanaccess</groupId>
<artifactId>ucanaccess</artifactId>
<version>5.0.1</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-jdbc</artifactId>
</dependency>
Connecting MS Access with spring boot, use the below following configuration in application.properties
spring.datasource.url=jdbc:ucanaccess://C:/Users/FazalHaroon/Documents/JavaTest/accountsdb.accdb;openExclusive=false;ignoreCase=true
spring.datasource.driver-class-name=net.ucanaccess.jdbc.UcanaccessDriver
this is the example where i insert new data into my MS Access Database, then i use a select query to fetch all the records from the 'Account' table.
import java.sql.ResultSet;
import java.sql.SQLException;
import java.util.List;
#SpringBootApplication
public class TaskApplication implements CommandLineRunner {
#Autowired
private JdbcTemplate template;
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(NagarroTaskApplication.class, args);
}
#Override
public void run(String... args) throws Exception {
// template.update("INSERT INTO account(account_type, account_number) VALUES('test', '1233443543')");
List<Account> accountList = template.query("SELECT ID, account_type, account_number FROM account", new RowMapper<Account>() {
#Override
public Account mapRow(ResultSet rs, int rowNum) throws SQLException {
return new Account(rs.getInt("ID"), rs.getString("account_type"), rs.getString("account_number"));
}
});
accountList.forEach(System.out::println);
}
}

Answer 2

It seems that you want to connect with MS Access, but the driver used is for JDBC.
Change the driver to the following and it should work:
spring.datasource.driver-class-name=net.ucanaccess.jdbc.UcanaccessDriver
