Hi,
I want to connect to a MS Access database to pull-in Source Data.
But get the following error: Couldnt create new external datasource connection with JDBC Class=sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver, URL=jdbc:odbc:SMSGMR, user=. Error: [unixODBC][Driver Manager]Data source name not found, and no default driver specified
I have a local System DSN set up, but presumably need to bridge between ODBC and JDBC, so is this a problem that is fixed by editing jdbc.properties as detailed here: http://code.google.com/p/gbif-providertoolkit/wiki/IPT2DatabaseConnection
If not, can anyone enlighten me as to how to connect to an MS Access table?
Thanks Dan
