How to use Microsoft Access database with spring boot and spring data

Question

Here is my application.properties file:

spring.datasource.url=jdbc:odbc:DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=BD_Name.mdb")
spring.datasource.username=
spring.datasource.password=
spring.datasource.driver-class-name=sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver
spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto=create
spring.jpa.show-sql=true

and I use jdk7 which contains the driver sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver but when I start, springBoot return the exception "couldn't load driver".

Answer 1

It seems that you want to connect with MS Access, but the driver used is for JDBC.

Change the driver to the following and it should work:

spring.datasource.driver-class-name=net.ucanaccess.jdbc.UcanaccessDriver
