Re: Accesssing External Databases

Hi everyone
Before I forget, we are on V7r1

I have been asked to investigate how we can connect to an external database
Google search presented the following web page
http://www.scottklement.com/jdbc/

Scott Klements - Accessing External Databases from RPG

Thank God for Scott

I am following his pdf presentation and I am somewhat sure that everything
is loaded into our test system
Using one of his examples to access an SQL server database
I changed the connection string and the username and password and ran the
example program in debug mode
It is failing
With

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.
SQLServerDriver
at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:499)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:651)
at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Launcher.java:349)

As this is ALL brand new to me - where do I even START to look at what my
problem is?

As always - any and all help REALLY appreciated
