java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver Exception in Java

[Gladis Thomas]

Hi,

Thanks for your reply for the previous post.

Now i tried connecting the MS ACCESS DB in NetBeans IDE 8.0 and the java version is JDK1.8.

I tried many ways by adding 5 jar files for this.

But still am getting the exception.

Can you help me to resolve this?

I have attached the error page also.

Thanks in advance.

I presume you have a .jar file with that class in?
Please show us where it is and how you are adding it to the classpath.

From http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/guides/jdbc/bridge.html:

The JDBC-ODBC Bridge should be considered a transitional solution; it will be removed in JDK 8. In addition, Oracle does not support the JDBC-ODBC Bridge. Oracle recommends that you use JDBC drivers provided by the vendor of your database instead of the JDBC-ODBC Bridge.

In other words, it's gone, and you'll have to find another driver.

Your problem in your jar files please use other RDBS like oracle or mysql or such other RDBMS and use their relevant drivers and jar files
