The following code sample works for me. I see the database started correctly in the server window and I can connect to it from dbisql.
import java.io.*;
import java.sql.*;
import java.util.*;
class T
{ public static void main (String args[]) throws IOException { Connection con = null; con = connect(); if( con == null ) { return; // exception should already have been reported } try { con.createStatement().execute( "START DATABASE 'test.db' AS \"1234\"" ); con.close(); System.out.println( "Disconnected" ); } catch (SQLException sqe) { printExceptions(sqe); } } private static Connection connect() { String conn_str, url; Connection connection; conn_str = "jdbc:sqlanywhere:uid=DBA;pwd=sql"; try { connection = DriverManager.getConnection( conn_str ); } catch( Exception e ) { System.err.println( "Error! Could not connect" ); System.err.println( e.getMessage() ); printExceptions( (SQLException)e ); connection = null; } return connection; } static private void printExceptions(SQLException sqe) { while (sqe != null) { System.out.println("Unexpected exception : " + "SqlState: " + sqe.getSQLState() + " " + sqe.toString() + ", ErrorCode: " + sqe.getErrorCode()); System.out.println( "======================================" ); sqe = sqe.getNextException(); } }
}
