Java run Ms Access query

Question

I need to run queries of Ms Access file and the problem is that there is not any sql code to execute from my java code. When I try to see sql code of query

The SQL statement could not be executed because it contains ambiguous outer joins

alter is shown. So i must call and run queries. I tried to open and run spesific queries by cmd .bat file. However I cannot find any script for solution. Is there any sql code to run any query from another query? if it is possible it can help me. How I can solve this problem?

Answer 1

You could call/run a macro in an Access-database from a bat-file and the called macro could run the query via the macro-command OpenQuery .

Lets say you name your macro mRunQueryX in Access, within the macro you define the commands: OpenQuery (with the appropiate parameters) and QuitAccess (This closes Access after it is started from the bat-file.

Now from your cmd/bat-file you call/run the macro with:

"C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Office\\Office12\\MSACCESS.EXE" "[PathToDatabase]\\[NameOfTheDatabase].accdb" /X mRunQueryX

The path to MSACCESS.EXE varies with the Office-version.
