Mysql Odbc 5.2 Unicode Driver Download

  

Download mysql odbc 5.3 ansi driver From Oracle:

MySQL Connector/ODBC provides both driver-manager based and native interfaces to the MySQL database, with full support for MySQL functionality, including stored procedures, transactions and, with Connector/ODBC 5.1 and higher, full Unicode compliance. Typically, you need to install Connector/ODBC only on Windows machines. For Unix and Mac OS X, you can use the native MySQL network or named pipes to communicate with your MySQL database. You may need Connector/ODBC for Unix or Mac OS X if you have an application that requires an ODBC interface to communicate with the database. Applications that require ODBC to communicate with MySQL include ColdFusion, Microsoft Office, and Filemaker Pro.

I'm trying to connect to a database made by MS Access using Java, but I cannot seem to manage. I am using ODBC and I'm getting this exception:

java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] The specified DSN contains an architecture mismatch between the Driver and Application

None of these did it for me. I did find the answer on MSDN. There were hints to it though. The architecture in the error is referring to 32 vs 64 bits. My solution was to find out which my app is running under (Access) which 2010 is 32b. I found this by looking in the Process tab of Task Manager where all 32b processes have * 32 the end of their names. As was said, the control panel will launch the 64 bit version of ODBC from here

c:windowssystem32odbcad32.exe

and the 32 bit version is here:

c:windowssysWOW64odbcad32.exe (easiest to copy and paste into run dialog)

So I set up DSNs with names ending in 32 and 64 in each of the corresponding ODBC control panels (AKA Administrator) that pointed to the same thing. Then, I picked/pick the correct one based on whether the app using it is 32b or 64b.

You get this exact same error when trying to connect to a MySQL database from MS-Access when the bit version (32 vs 64) of Access doesn't match

  1. the bit version of the ODBC Driver you are using
  2. the bit version of the ODBC Manager you used to set it up.

For those of you trying to connect MS-Access to MySQL on a 64 bit Windows system, I went through sheer torture trying to get it to work with both MS-Access 2010 and MS-Access 2013. Finally got it working, and here are the lessons I've learned along the way:

I bought a new Windows 7, 64 bit laptop, and I have an app which relies on MS-Access using MySQL tables.

  1. I installed the latest version of MySQL, 5.6, using the All In One package install. This allows you to install both the database and ODBC drivers all at once. That's nice, but the ODBC driver it installs seems to be the 64 bit one, so it will not work with 32 bit MS-Access. It also seems a little buggy - not for sure on that one. When you Add a new DSN in the ODBC Manager, this driver appears as 'Microsoft ODBC For Oracle'. I could not get this one to work. I had to install the 32 bit one, discussed below.

    • MySQL was working fine after the install. I restored my application MySQL database in the usual way. Now I want to connect to it using MS-Access.


  2. I had previously installed Office 2013, which I assumed was 64 bit. But upon checking the version (File, Account, About Access), I see that it is 32 bit. Both Access 2010 and 2013 are most commonly sold as 32-bit versions.

  3. My machine is a 64 bit machine. So by default, when you go to set up your DSN's for MS-Access, and go in the usual way into the ODBC Manager via Control Panel, Administrative Options, you get the 64 bit ODBC manager. You have no way of knowing that! You just can't tell. This is a huge gotcha!! It is impossible to set up a DSN from there and have it successfully connect to MS Access 32 bit. You will get the dreaded error:

    'the specified dsn contains an architecture mismatch...'

  4. You must download and install the 32 bit ODBC driver from MySQL. I used version 3.5.1

  5. You must tell the ODBC Manager in Control Panel to take a hike and must instead explicitly invoke the 32 bit ODBC Manager with this command executed at the Start, Command prompt:

    c:windowssysWOW64odbcad32.exe

    I created a shortcut to this on my desktop. From here, build your DSN with this manager. Important point: BUILD THEM AS SYSTEM DSNS, NOT USER DSNS! This tripped me up for awhile.

    By the way, the 64 bit version of the ODBC Manager can also be run explicitly as:

    c:windowssystem32odbcad32.exe

  6. Once you've installed the 32-bit ODBC Driver from MySql, when you click Add in the ODBC Manager you will see 2 drivers listed. Choose 'MySQL ODBC 5.2 ANSI Driver'. I did not try the UNICODE driver.

That does it. Once you have defined your DSN's in the 32 bit ODBC manager, you can connect to MySQL in the usual way from within Access - External Data, ODBC Database, Link to the Database, select Machine Data Source, and the DSN you created to your MySQL database will be there.

There's an architecture mismatch. Your JDBC Driver and your JDK should be of the same architecture. If your using 32bit Driver and your JDK is 64bits, you would get that error.

See this

Fix : Depends on your architecture.

You will need 64-bit drivers if your Java is 64-bit.

By default, the Command Prompt is connected to System32. Run a 64-bit command prompt, i.e., C:WINDOWSSYSWOW64CMD.EXE. In that, compile and run your java application.

To solve this problem first make sure that your java software should be 32bit version if it is 64 bit version clearly it will show the mismatch error so try to re-install 32bit of java version And execute the java program in the command of c:windowssysWOW64odbcad32.exe (easiest to copy and paste into run dialog) that's enough your program definitely work

The problem you were facing might be because: you were having Office 32 bit and Command Prompt 64 bit.To solve the problem you need to follow 2 steps:

  1. Open ODBC Manager for DSN using: C:WindowsSysWOW64odbcad32.exeThis will open the ODBC Data Administrator for 32 bit version and you will see all the database drivers.

  2. After this you need to open the 32 bit command prompt using:C:WindowsSysWOW64cmd.exeThis will open the 32 bit version of command prompt. In this new CMD please recompile your Java program and run your program.

Hope this will help.

A little late, but since I've run into the same problem, in your exact scenario, I figured I'd add my solution.

I have Windows 7 (64-bit) and Office 2010 (32-bit). I tried with the DSN-less connection string:

and I tried with the DSN connection, using both the System32 and SysWOW64 versions of the ODBC Admin, and none of that worked.

What finally worked, was to match the bit version of Java with the bit version of Office. Once I did that, I could use either the DSN or DSN less connection mode, without any fuss.

I saw this answer and it worked for me. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms712362%28v=vs.85%29.aspx

After you have installed an ODBC driver from the driver's setup program, you can define one or more data sources for it. The data source name (DSN) should provide a unique description of the data; for example, Payroll or Accounts Payable. The user and system data sources that are defined for all currently installed drivers are listed in the User DSN or System DSN tabs of the ODBC Data Source Administrator dialog box. The file data sources in a given directory are listed in the File DSN tab; the directory to be shown is entered in the Look in box in the File DSN tab.System_CAPS_noteNote

To manage a data source that connects to a 32-bit driver under 64-bit platform, use c:windowssysWOW64odbcad32.exe. To manage a data source that connects to a 64-bit driver, use c:windowssystem32odbcad32.exe. In Administrative Tools on a 64-bit Windows 8 operating system, there are icons for both the 32-bit and 64-bit ODBC Data Source Administrator dialog box.

If you use the 64-bit odbcad32.exe to configure or remove a DSN that connects to a 32-bit driver, for example, Driver do Microsoft Access (*.mdb), you will receive the following error message:

The specified DSN contains an architecture mismatch between the Driver and Application

To resolve this error, use the 32-bit odbcad32.exe to configure or remove the DSN.

A data source associates a particular ODBC driver with the data you want to access through that driver. For example, you might create a data source to use the ODBC dBASE driver to access one or more dBASE files found in a specific directory on your hard disk or a network drive. Using the ODBC Data Source Administrator, you can add, modify, and delete data sources, as described in the following table.

Have you created the DSN first in Control Panel>Administrative Tools>ODBC>System DSN.Name it same as 'myDatabase' and if i is asking for locating the database/access file specify the path using browse option.Once ur DSN will be created successfully you will be easily able to access ur DB.

If you are using netbeans go to tools-> java Platform, change jdk_home which points to c:/programfiles/java/jdk1_7 to c:programFiles(x86)/java/jdk1_6_21

if not editable find netbeans.cnf and make change as stated abouve for jdk_home. restart neatbeans and how it worksI had the same problem , but i worked .

I had a great deal of trouble linking to MySQL from a 64 bit laptop, running Windows 7, using MS Access 2010. I found the previous article very helpful, but still could not connect using odbc 3.5.1. As I had previously linked a 32 bit machine using Connector/ODBC 5.1.13, I downloaded that version and set it up using the instructions above. Success. The answer seems to be to try different versions of Connector.odbc.

user2909327user2909327

If you are connecting from a 64-bit platform using a 32-bit driver, then run the executableC:WindowsSysWOW64odbcad32.exe and create the DSN. It will work.

SenthilSenthil

I ran into this problem when upgrading to a windows 7 server with some legacy CLASP applications. Trying to run a 32bit application on a 64 bit machine.

Try setting the application pools 32bit compatibility to True and/or create dsn's in 32 and 64 bit.

Open the odbc datasource window in both versions from the run box.C:WindowsSysWOW64odbcad32.exeC:Windowssystem32odbcad32.exe

I did encounter this problem. This is due to you computer architecture and the database architecture you are using.

If you're using 32 bits operating system then everything works well because you can only install 32 bits software. Problem comes when you're using the 64 bits operating system.

In order to solve this problem is simple - I took long time to discover this issue.

  1. Knowing your Operating System is 64 bits but your Microsoft Office is 32 bits.
  2. So in order for you to access your database using NetBean IDE (assuming you're using this), you need to install 32 bits JDK. If you have installed 64 bits, you have to uninstall it and install the 32 bits.

You're unable to access your database because your 64 bits JVM is not the same as 32 bit JVM.

To add your database into your system1. Control Panel2. Administrator Tools3. Data Source (ODBC)right click on it change the target to sysWOW64odbcad32.exechange the start in to r%SysWOW64

Then you should be able to run. Inform me if you have any problem with this.

Thank you!

i think this also will be more helpfull.

for the architecture miss match,

i just copy the jdk file from the 32 bit file ‪C:Program Files (x86)Javajdk1.7.0_71 and paste it to the 64 bit file ‪C:Program FilesJavajdk1.7.0_10, then rename the file to match the file you replace to avoid the IDE error(netbeans)

then your good to go.
