problem creating driver definitions [message #17368] Mon, 26 June 2006 15:22 Go to next message
Eclipse UserFriend
When I select Preferences -> Connectivity -> Driver definitions, I'm
able to add a driver definition for DB2 where I specify the paths to
the necessary jar files. Now, when I go to create a new database
connection, I am not able to select the driver definition I created.
Does the new database connection wizzard not look at the list of
available driver definitions?

Bryan,

Which build of DTP are you using? (Look in eclipse\features folder for
org.eclipse.datatools features.) When you try to create a new connection
profile, are you choosing the "SQL Model (generic)" one?

John,

I'm using DTP 0.9.0.200606161 which was pulled from the Callisto site
yesterday from the update manager.

Here are the exact steps I'm trying:

Preferences -> Connectivity -> Driver Definitions
Select Database -> DB2 UDB -> V8.1
Click Add...
Expand Database -> DB2 UDB -> V8.1
Select IBM DB2 Universal as the template
Use the default driver name "IBM DB2 Universal"
Click ok
Add the db2jcc.jar and db2jcc_license_cu.jar
Click ok
Click ok to dismiss the preferences
In the Database Explorer view, click New Connection...
Expand DB2 UDB and select V8.1
The JDBC Driver selector will only let you select "Other" - I was
expecting to be able to select "IBM DB2 Universal" - the one I set up
above.

Bryan,

It looks like you might be confusing the WTP Database Explorer with the
Data Source Explorer from DTP (which is understandable since they are
very similar). "New Connection..." is an action on the Database
Explorer. The equivalent action on the Data Source Explorer is "New
Connection Profile". The WTP Database Explorer doesn't know about the
Driver Definitions in the Preferences.

Brian,

That is my problem. Will there be a merger / hostile takeover of these
two explorers in the future?
