  • Even if you had a JDBC-ODBC Bridge on your Mac you would also need to have. An implementation of ODBC itself, and; an appropriate ODBC driver for the target database (ACE/Jet, a.k.a. 'Access') So, for most people, using JDBC-ODBC Bridge technology to manipulate ACE/Jet ('Access') databases is really a practical option only under Windows.

ODBC DRIVER=Microsoft Access Driver (.mdb,.accdb) DBQ=.MyDB.mdb DriverId=25 FIL=MS Access SafeTransactions=0 In order to use the new driver from your AIMMS project for reading CSV files by using ODBC, you need to adjust the DSN file associated with your (sub-) folder containing the CSV files.

MicrosoftAccess ODBC for Windows

This tutorial shows how to set up a data source and connect to a Microsoft® Access™ database using the Database Explorer app or the command line. This tutorial uses the Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb, *accdb) to connect to a sample Microsoft Access 2016 database.

Step 1. Set up the sample Access database.

You can access the sample database file, tutorial.accdb, in the folder returned by entering this code at the command line.

Copy this database file into a folder where you have permission to write. Ensure that the database file is writable by verifying its properties:
  1. Right-click the database file and select Properties.

  2. On the General tab, if the Read-only option is selected, clear it.

Note

To write data to the sample database, ensure that you run MATLAB® as an administrator.

Note

Depending on the Access version you are running, you might need to convert the database to that version. For example, beginning in Access 2007, the software includes the option to save as *.accdb. For details, consult your database administrator.

Step 2. Verify the driver installation.

The ODBC driver is typically preinstalled on your computer.For details about the driver installation or troubleshooting the installation,contact your database administrator or refer to your database documentationon ODBC drivers. For information about the Microsoft ODBC DataSource Administrator, see DriverInstallation.

Note

Database Toolbox™ no longer supports connecting to a database using a 32-bit driver. Use the 64-bit version of Access. Or, to connect to the 32-bit version of Access, see https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/235949-how-to-connect-to-32-bit-microsoft-access-database-from-64-bit-matlab. For details about working with the 64-bit version of Windows®, see https://www.mathworks.com/products/matlab/preparing-for-64-bit-windows.html.

Step 3. Set up the data source using the Database Explorer app.

Set up the sample Access database as the data source by using the Database Explorer app. You can locate the target database on a PC running the Windows operating system or on another system to which the PC is networked. These instructions use the Microsoft ODBC Data Source Administrator Version 10.0.16299.15 for the US English version of Microsoft Access 2016 for Windows systems.

The Database Explorer app accesses the Microsoft ODBC Data Source Administrator automatically when you configure an ODBC data source. Alternatively, you can access the Microsoft ODBC Data Source Administrator using the configureODBCDataSource function.

Microsoft
  1. Close any open Access databases.

  2. Open the Database Explorer app by clicking the Apps tab on the MATLAB Toolstrip. Then, on the right of the Apps section, click the Show more arrow to open the apps gallery. Under Database Connectivity and Reporting, click Database Explorer. Alternatively, enter databaseExplorer at the command line.

  3. In the Data Source section, select Configure Data Source > Configure ODBC data source.

    In the ODBC Data Source Administrator dialog box, you define the ODBC data source.

    Tip

    When setting up an ODBC data source, you can specify a user data source name (DSN) or a system DSN. A user DSN is specific to the person logged into a machine. Only this person sees the data sources that are defined on the user DSN tab. A system DSN is not specific to the person logged into a machine. Any person who logs into the machine can see the data sources that are defined on the system DSN tab. Your ability to set up a user DSN or system DSN depends on the database and ODBC driver you are using. Free miss kitty slot. For details, contact the database administrator or refer to the ODBC driver documentation.

  4. On the User DSN tab, click . The Create New Data Source dialog box opens and displays a list of installed ODBC drivers.

  5. Select Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb, *.accdb) and click .

  6. In the ODBC Microsoft Access Setup dialog box for your driver, enter dbdemo as the data source name. Enter tutorial database as the description.

  7. Click to open the Select Database dialog box, where you specify the database you want to use. For the dbdemo data source, select tutorial.accdb. If the database is on a system to which your PC is connected:

    1. Click . Mac os x server.

    2. In the Map Network Drive dialog box, specify the folder containing the database you want to use. Ensure that you map to the folder and not the database file.

    3. Click .

  8. Click to close the Select Database dialog box. In the ODBC Microsoft Access Setup dialog box, click . The ODBC Data Source Administrator dialog box displays the dbdemo data source and any additional data sources that you added on the User DSN tab. Click to close the dialog box.

After you complete the data source setup, connect to the Access database using the Database Explorer app or the command line with the native ODBC connection.

Step 4. Connect using the Database Explorer app or the command line.

Connect to Access Using Database Explorer App

  1. On the Database Explorer tab, in the Connections section, click and select the data source for the connection.

  2. In the connection dialog box, leave the Username and Password boxes blank, and click .

    The app connects to the database and displays a list of its objects, such as tables, in the Data Browser pane. The data source tab named dbdemo appears to the right of the pane. The data source tab contains empty SQL Query and Data Preview panes.

  3. Select tables in the Data Browser pane to query the database.

  4. Close the data source tab to close the SQL query. In the Connections section, close the database connection by clicking .

    Note

    If multiple connections are open, close the database connection of your choice by selecting the corresponding data source from the list.

Connect to Access Using ODBC Driver and Command Line

  1. Connect to the database with the ODBC data source name. For example, this code assumes that you are connecting to a data source named dbdemo with a blank user name and password.

  2. Close the database connection.

This topic describes how to connect to Microsoft Access database files.

Supported Versions

The FireDAC native driver supports the Microsoft Access 95, 97, 2000, 2003, 2007, and 2010 databases.

Windows Client Software

FireDAC requires one of the Microsoft Access x86 or x64 ODBC drivers to be installed on the workstation:

  • 'Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)' x86 ODBC driver version 3 or later (often referred to as the Microsoft JET ODBC Driver) for 95-2003 databases. See details. You can also use one of the alternative drivers provided for non-English languages.
  • 'Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb, *.accdb)' x86 and x64 ODBC driver version 12 or later for 95-2010 databases. See details.

Note: To install an x86 or x64 Microsoft Access runtime on a workstation with an already installed runtime with a different architecture, specify '/passive' in the runtime installer command line. Because Object Pascal IDE is an x86 application, you should install the x86 Access version on your development workstation.

If the Microsoft Access ODBC driver has not been installed properly, an exception is raised when you try to connect:

If you try to open a DB created with a newer Access version using an older Access driver, an exception is raised:

Linux, Mac OS X and iOS client software
