Cannot open the connection for the driver: org.eclipse.birt.report.data.oda.jdbc

Question

I got the following problem

In Eclipse, in the Report Design Perspective , when I try to preview I get the following error:

Chart NewChart: 
+ An exception occurred during processing. Please see the following message for details:
Cannot open the connection for the driver: org.eclipse.birt.report.data.oda.jdbc.
    org.eclipse.birt.report.data.oda.jdbc.JDBCException: Cannot load JDBC Driver class: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver. 

I also checked in Eclipse in the folder org.eclipse.birt.report.data.oda.jdbc/drivers and it was empty. Should it be? I checked the externalLibs directory, and there I have mysql-connector.jar and I do not know what to check for next.

Answer 1

Do one thing MARA, go to the Data Source option. Select JDBC Connection over there do Next . You will find an Manage Drivers button in the left-bottom of the window. Select it, a new console window named Manage JDBC Drivers will evolve. There you will find two tabs Jar Files and Driver. Now select Jar Files and add a newly created .jar file (know how to create a .jar file it's quite easy, google it). Click Ok . You are done.

Now whenever you will go the data source and select Driver Class = com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver .(Or you may see its turned to com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver(com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver (v4.0) v4.0) ) just write the connection string on the Base url . (Don't forget to open a port from the server side you are using).

Hope it works.

您的 JDBC 驱动程序必须复制到该目录，另请参见http://www.eclipse.org/birt/phoenix/deploy/viewerSetup.php#install_jdbc

Answer 3

This worked for me

Download mysql-connector-java-5.1.44-bin.jar file from google

Paste the jar file to location: Eclipse⁩/⁨Contents⁩/⁨Eclipse⁩/⁨plugins⁩/org.eclipse.birt.report.data.oda.jdbc_ .../drivers⁩* folder

or

paste "mysql-connector-java-5.0.8-bin.jar" jar file to

location: WEB-INF\\platform\\plugins\\org.eclipse.birt.report.data.oda.jdbc_INSTALLED_VERSION\\drivers folder

Go to manage drivers , under jar files section use add option and select the mysql-connector-java-5.1.44-bin.jar file from any location from your local machine and then Test Connection

Connection Successful
