What database on the Mac are you using that requires ODBC?

hi
i am having a .mdb (MS Access file) this file has only one table , i wants to create search engine using this table, that has to be work in windows and mac os x

Thank you

i am having .mdb(MS Access database) file, my clients require an application in cd version, on installing my application the user can use my application as a search engine for this .mdb file.so i decided to develop my application in java, while connecting the access database i use the following method,

Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
dbcon=DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc

dbc:jobbankdb","user","user");

in this :jobbankdb is a system DSN, this is created in "ODBC Data Source Administrator" in windows "Administrator tools" by manually

i wants to create this DSN(Data Source Name) on runtime
could you please give me sample code so that i can give my application in cd

Thank you
Anbu

I'm not sure if this works on OS X, but it is possible to use the JDBC/ODBC bridge without setting up a DSN. This article describes how that works.

hi Ulf Dittmer
thank you for you post
i can convert my .mdb (ms access file ) to a xml is it possible to use this xml file as like a database, but the converted xml file is about 30 MB

Thank you
Anbu

I'm sure someone has written a JDBC driver that reads an XML file, even though it seems a bit pointless to me. Look like Google knows of a few.
