And since SortCL is written in C, an ODBC driver is required to move the data to and from the engine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the time of writing this article, Microsoft\u2019s ODBC driver for Access does not support certain functions SortCL requires, nor does Microsoft have a JDBC driver. We are therefore using partner JDBC and ODBC drivers from <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdata.com\/drivers\/access\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CData<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. A second option for JDBC drivers is <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/ucanaccess.sourceforge.net\/site.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ucanaccess<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which is an open-source driver implementation from SourceForge.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Microsoft Access does not support the use of schemas. Using the CData driver, a schema <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Access <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is used as a placeholder that contains all the tables. Ucanaccess does the same thing but uses the name <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Public <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">as the schema name.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Due to the way that CData is being used with a schema placeholder, it will always state that a connection is successful. To know if a connection is truly successful, check to see if the tables are viewable in the Data Source Explorer within Workbench.<\/span><\/p>\n<h6><b>Known Driver Limitations<\/b><\/h6>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using the data types <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Large Number<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Date &amp; Time Extended <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">causes the Access database to no longer be compatible with earlier versions. This causes the drivers from both CData (version 21) and SourceForge (version 5.0.1) to no longer be able to connect to the database.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is also a compatibility issue using CData\u2019s ODBC and SourceForge\u2019s JDBC driver due to both having different default schema names that are not configurable. Currently, Workbench is under development to add more support for SourceForge\u2019s JDBC driver.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-15771 aligncenter\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/MsAccess-300x88.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"545\" height=\"160\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.iri.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/MsAccess-300x88.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.iri.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/MsAccess.jpg 471w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 545px) 100vw, 545px\" \/><\/p>\n<h6><b>Setting Up ODBC<\/b><\/h6>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that the drivers have been downloaded and the limitations are understood, the next step is to set up the ODBC Connection.
