EDIT: I also tried the standard java connection using this answer: Creating Java Connector for pervasive
the main problem here is that it works with Demodata, but the name of the database I need to use use ° in the name: GESCOOP°2018
I'm not sure that is the problem but I know that I only get this error:
SQLException: [LNA][PSQL][SQL Engine][Data Record Manager]Cannot locate the named database you specified(Btrieve Error 2301)
for database with ° in the name.
Original question:
I need to use a Pervasive ODBC database with Hibernate (if possible, if not I need to use it inside java). I already got 3 files: jpscs.jar pvjdbc2.jar pvjdbc2x.jar that should be the JDBC drivers for pervasive DB but I don't know how to create an hibernate config file with this dialect (I'm not sure hibernate support pervasive and I'm not sure if possible to configure custom sql db).
I was just able to configure a Pervasive 32-bit ODBC Client DNS setup (with windows configure data source on control panel) with a simple Server Name (no account or password). And the connection test is successful but I don't know how to view tables and data of this db.
Current hibernate config file hibernate.cfg.xml:
<?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE hibernate-configuration SYSTEM
"http://www.hibernate.org/dtd/hibernate-configuration-3.0.dtd">
<hibernate-configuration>
<session-factory>
<property name = "hibernate.dialect">
org.hibernate.dialect.
</property>
<property name = "hibernate.connection.driver_class">
com.pervasive.jdbc.v2.Driver
</property>
<!-- Assume test is the database name -->
<property name = "hibernate.connection.url">
GBJOB09.GBJOB.LOCAL/GESCOOP*2018
</property>
<!-- List of XML mapping files -->
<!-- mapping resource = "Employee.hbm.xml"/ -->
</session-factory>
</hibernate-configuration>
In the end I used C# with this code:
string conn = "Provider=PervasiveOLEDB; Data Source=gescoop°2018;Location=<url>";
string queryString = "select * from TAB_UTENTI";
try
{
using (OleDbConnection connection = new OleDbConnection(conn))
{
OleDbCommand command = new OleDbCommand(queryString, connection);
connection.Open();
OleDbDataReader reader = command.ExecuteReader();
while (reader.Read())
{
Debug.WriteLine(reader.GetValue(0).ToString() + " " +
reader.GetValue(1).ToString() + " " +
...
reader.GetValue(47).ToString() + " ");
}
reader.Close();
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Debug.WriteLine("Failed to connect to data source " + ex.Message);
}
I think there is some limitation with jdbc driver on java that does not allow special characters like ° in the database name. I cannot change the database name so my only way is to use C#.
