How to Connect Ms Access Database in Java Using UCanAccess

Welcome Readers, If you are trying really hard to connect your Java application with the MS Access database using the Eclipse and NetBeans IDE and still after numerous attempts you are failing to connect, then you have come to the right place. In this tutorial, we are going to learn about How to Connect MS Access Database in Java or Java 8 using ucanaccess But before moving ahead make sure that you have the latest version of Java in your system and if not then you can download it through this link.

To make it easier for you I have divided this ucanaccess tutorial into several sections and feel free to jump in the division as per your interest.

  How to Connect MS Access Database in Java

  Creating an MS Access Database

  Although you are free to use any of the Microsoft Access version that is convenient for you, I would recommend you to try out the latest one. To get the latest version of the Microsoft Office, you can head for the Official website of Microsft.

  As of now let’s look through the steps involved in creating MS Access database.

  • Open Microsoft office Access (I am using Microsoft office access 2007).
  • Create a New Blank Database as shown in the figure below.

  

  • Give it a name (For example StudentDatabase.accdb) and specify a location where you want to save it.
  • Now click on Create button to create the database.

  

  • As soon as you click Create button, Microsoft Access creates a default table named “Table1” with its default field “ID“.
  • Right-click on the Table and select Design View.

  

  • A Save As dialog box will appear, and it will ask you for to give it a name.

  

  • Provide a suitable name for your table and click OK button.
  • Now you can create fields for your table with their associated data types.(I am going to create two fields Username and City with their data types as Text).

  

  Downloading UCanAccess JAR file

  To connect our Java application with Microsoft Access Database, we need to add some JAR files to our program, and you can download them by clicking on the download link below.

  Connecting MS Access Database in Java Using Eclipse

  Step #1 -> Creating a Java Project in Eclipse

  • Open Eclipse IDE and click on the Java Project under the new section of File Menu ( File>>New>>Java Project ).

  

  • Now give a name to your project (AccessConnect in this example) and click on “Finish”.

  

  • Now right click on the project and create a new Java class (New>>Class).

  

  • Now give a name to your class(AccessConnectivity in this Example), tick mark on the public static void main(String[] args), and then click on the Finish button as shown in the figure below.

  Java JDBC Example Connect to Microsoft Access Database

  This JDBC tutorial guides you how to develop a Java program that connects to a Microsoft Access Database. In the early days of JDBC, you can connect to an Access database via JDBC ODBC driver provided by JDK. However JDBC ODBC driver is no longer supported so you need to use a third-party JDBC driver for Microsoft Access. And your Java code still uses JDBC API as normal.

  1. Java JDBC Driver for Microsoft Access Database

  There are several third-party JDBC drivers out there for Microsoft Access database, and we recommend UCanAccess — a pure Java JDBC Driver for Access that allows Java developers and JDBC client programs to read/write Microsoft Access databases. UCanAccess supports various Access formats: 2000, 2002/2003, 2007, 2010/2013/2016 (Access 97 is supported for read-only).

  UCanAccess is open-source and implemented entirely in Java so it can be used across platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux…). It also provides Maven dependencies so you can integrate it in your existing projects quickly.

  To use UCanAccess JDBC Driver for Access, add the following dependency information in your project’s pom.xml file:

   net.sf.ucanaccess ucanaccess 4.0.4 

  In case you don’t use Maven, you have to download UCanAccess distribution and add the following JAR files to the classpath:

  • ucanaccess-4.0.4.jar
  • hsqldb-2.3.1.jar
  • jackcess-2.1.11.jar
  • commons-lang-2.6.jar
  • commons-logging-1.1.3.jar

  2. Java JDBC Example with Access Database

  Suppose that we have an Access Database 2007 contains a table Contacts with the following fields:

  

  The database file is located at e:\Java\JavaSE\MsAccess\Contacts.accdb . — This path will be used in database URL. We will write a Java program that uses the UCanAccess JDBC driver to connect to this database, insert a row and select all rows from the table Contacts.

  You can use JDBC API as normal (see Connect to a database with JDBC). The differences lie in the database URL and Access-specific SQL syntax you can use. For example, you need to construct the database URL to include path of the Access database file like this:

  String databaseURL = "jdbc:ucanaccess://e://Java//JavaSE//MsAccess//Contacts.accdb";

  package net.codejava.jdbc; import java.sql.*; /** * This program demonstrates how to use UCanAccess JDBC driver to read/write * a Microsoft Access database. * @author www.codejava.net * */ public class JdbcAccessTest < public static void main(String[] args) < String databaseURL = "jdbc:ucanaccess://e://Java//JavaSE//MsAccess//Contacts.accdb"; try (Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection(databaseURL)) < String sql = "INSERT INTO Contacts (Full_Name, Email, Phone) VALUES (?, ?, ?)"; PreparedStatement preparedStatement = connection.prepareStatement(sql); preparedStatement.setString(1, "Jim Rohn"); preparedStatement.setString(2, "rohnj@herbalife.com"); preparedStatement.setString(3, "0919989998"); int row = preparedStatement.executeUpdate(); if (row >0) < System.out.println("A row has been inserted successfully."); >sql = "SELECT * FROM Contacts"; Statement statement = connection.createStatement(); ResultSet result = statement.executeQuery(sql); while (result.next()) < int fullname = result.getString("Full_Name"); String email = result.getString("Email"); String phone = result.getString("Phone"); System.out.println(id + ", " + fullname + ", " + email + ", " + phone); >> catch (SQLException ex) < ex.printStackTrace(); >> >

  As you can see, this example looks like trivial JDBC code, the only difference lies in the database URL that needs to include path to the Access database file.

  If you want to see the coding in action, I recommend to watch the video version of this article below:

  2.2 JDBC program to connect and query MS Access database/table :

  • Once we are ready with above listed things
  • Then we can go ahead and code an example to connect MS Access database
  • Finally querying database
