I downloaded jdk8u40 and now I get:
SQLException:
SQLState: 08001
Message: No suitable driver found for jdbc:odbc:mysqlDB
Vendor: 0
where mysqlDB is my data source name.
I use:
jdbc.drivers=sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver
jdbc.url=jdbc:odbc:mysqlDB
as connection strings. I have downloaded and installed driver:
mysql-connector-odbc-5.3.4-winx64.msi
I read in your forums that the jdbc-odbc bridge is no longer supported in jdk 1.8. Any help appreciated.
The JDBC-ODBC bridge is no longer shipped/supported with JDK 8, hence the errors:
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.
If you're using Java, it would be better to use a JDBC driver instead of an ODBC driver, see here http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/j/ for the MySQL JDBC driver.
In regards to the comment "I read in your forums that the jdbc-odbc bridge is no longer supported in jdk 1.8. Any help appreciated."
Please note that can obtain JDBC-ODBC Type 1 Bridge Drivers from third parties. For example, OpenLink Software continues to provide an JDBC-ODBC Bridge Driver for past and current Java Virtual Machine editions:
