Setting the Java CLASSPATH for the JDBC Driver

When using one of the TDV JDBC drivers with client applications written in Java, make sure that csjdbc.jar is available in your system’s CLASSPATH. For the list of supported drivers, see Driver Support, page 16.

To set the CLASSPATH for JDBC driver

1. Make sure that the JDBC driver JAR file is available in your system’s CLASSPATH.
2. Run the following command, depending on your operating system, to set the CLASSPATH:

OS

Command

Windows

set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;<PATH>\csjdbc.jar

UNIX

export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:<PATH>/csjdbc.jar

<PATH> is the valid path where the JDBC driver is located.

3. Run your Java-based client application:

OS

Command

Windows

java -classpath "%CLASSPATH%;<PATH>\csjdbc.jar" <CLIENT_JDBC_PROGRAM>

UNIX

java -classpath "$CLASSPATH:<PATH>/csjdbc.jar" <CLIENT_JDBC_PROGRAM>

<CLIENT_JDBC_PROGRAM> is your client application that is written in Java and accesses data through TDV.
