"specified network name is no longer available" when working with Jackcess


I am trying to write a simple Java program to extract the tables and columns from Access databases. Using the Jackcess cookbook I've got the following:

        String sourceDatabase = "C:\\temp\\test1.mdb";
        Database accessDB = DatabaseBuilder.open(new File(sourceDatabase));

        // Loop through the tables
        Set<String> accessTables = accessDB.getTableNames();
        for (String currentTable: accessTables) {
            System.out.println("Reading table " + currentTable + "...");

            Table table = accessDB.getTable(currentTable); // This is line 51 where the stacktrace occurs

            // Loop through columns in current table
            for(Column column : table.getColumns()) {
                String columnName = column.getName();

                Integer colType = column.getSQLType();


                Boolean isAutoNumber = column.isAutoNumber();

                System.out.println("\t" + columnName + " \t" + sqlTypeToText(colType) + "\t" + isAutoNumber);

            }

            System.out.println("");


        }
        accessDB.close();

However when I try to run it I get the following output with stacktrace:

Reading table _OracletblColumn...

    tblid   8   false
    colname     12  false

I've tried googling but haven't found anyone else having the same problem with Jackcess, what am I doing wrong?


Solution

  • On further investigation discovered the code above is not at fault.

    When I moved the Access database to a different folder the code above works perfectly without stacktracing. My first thought was file permissions, I checked my user had read/write access to the database (and the C:\temp folder) which it did.

    Turned out it was my corporate virus scan (McAfee) doing some sort of on access scan that was breaking it. As I am not allowed to disable the virus scanner, I'm going to move all my work into folders inside C:\users\username as the virus scan allows me to access these. So much for having local admin permission, it didn't help.
