Wanted: Help using DBUnit with MS SQL Server: java.sql.SQLException: Invalid Fetch Size

Question #1: Can someone help me correct this invalid fetch size from DBUnit?

I'm using java 1.70, dbunit-2.4.8, MS sqlserver 2008 and I'm getting this stack trace:

I thought maybe the problem was that I had to use the Microsoft driver instead of the sun driver. The Sun driver seems to connect OK but produces the exception on line 28.

As you can see from my comments, I've tried both the sun and microsoft drivers.

import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.sql.*;

import org.dbunit.database.*;
import org.dbunit.database.search.TablesDependencyHelper;
import org.dbunit.dataset.IDataSet;
import org.dbunit.dataset.xml.FlatXmlDataSet;
// http://www.dbunit.org/faq.html#extract
public class DatabaseExportSample
{
	// http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms378956%28SQL.90%29.aspx
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
    {
        // database connection
        Class driverClass = Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver" /*"org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver"*/);
        Connection jdbcConnection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:DRIVER={SQL Server};Server=.\\SQLEXPRESS;Database=3rdEdPocketGuide;"  /*"jdbc:hsqldb:sample", "sa", ""*/	);
    	
//        Class.forName("com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver");
//        Connection jdbcConnection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:sqlserver://localhost\\SQLEXPRESS;database=3rdEdPocketGuide;integratedSecurity=true;");

IDatabaseConnection connection = new DatabaseConnection(jdbcConnection);
        //DatabaseConfig dbconf = connection.getConfig();   dbconf.setProperty(dbconf.PROPERTY_FETCH_SIZE,100000);

// partial database export
        QueryDataSet partialDataSet = new QueryDataSet(connection);
        partialDataSet.addTable("FOO", /*"SELECT TOP 10 * FROM Person.Contact"*/ "SELECT TOP 3 * FROM upfall");
        partialDataSet.addTable("BAR");
        FlatXmlDataSet.write(partialDataSet, new FileOutputStream("partial.xml"));

// full database export
        IDataSet fullDataSet = connection.createDataSet();
        FlatXmlDataSet.write(fullDataSet, new FileOutputStream("full.xml"));
        
        // dependent tables database export: export table X and all tables that
        // have a PK which is a FK on X, in the right order for insertion
        String[] depTableNames = 
          TablesDependencyHelper.getAllDependentTables( connection, "X" );
        IDataSet depDataSet = connection.createDataSet( depTableNames );
        FlatXmlDataSet.write(depDataSet, new FileOutputStream("dependents.xml"));          
        
    }
}

I'd love to know how to use com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver too.

Question #2: Can someone help me make this work with the Microsoft Driver? I cannot seem to get the connection string right and it keeps dying on the call to getConnection.

Exception in thread "main" com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: The connection to the host localhost, named instance sqlexpress has failed. Error: "java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Receive timed out". Verify the server and instance names, check that no firewall is blocking UDP traffic to port 1434, and for SQL Server 2005 or later verify that the SQL Server Browser Service is running on the host.

Are you sure the instance is called SQLEXPRESS? From http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143744(SQL.90).aspx:

SQL Server Express always installs a named instance (SQLExpress) unless you select a default instance. This behavior differs from SQL Server 2005, which installs a default instance unless a named instance is selected.

Try it without the "\\SQLEXPRESS" part to see if that works.

Thanks for the suggestion but

(1) the program at the bottom works (and contains SQLEXPRESS)
(2) I took the SQLEXPRESS out of the other two connection strings in the first program that uses DBUnit and neither connection string works.

Any more suggestions?

Thanks
Siegfried
