HXTT PDF provides a type 4 JDBC driver for Portable Document Format (PDF) files. It supports JDBC4.0, JDB4.1, JDBC4.2, and JDBC4.3. It supports JDK1.6.X, JDK1.7.X, JDK1.8.X, Java 9, Java 10, Java 11, Java 12, Java 13, and Java 14. It supports all transactions level of READ UNCOMMITTED, READ COMMITTED, REPEATABLE READ, and SERIALIZABLE. It supports JBuilder's Database Pilot, Oracle's JVM, JDeveloper 10G, Dreamweaver UltraDev, Dreamweaver ColdFusion, ObJectRelationalBridge, DBVisualizer, iSQL-Viewer, AquaDataStudio, Sunopsis, MySQL Migration Toolkit, Tomcat, vqServer, Hibernate, SQuirreL SQL Client, Crystal Reports, Jisql, and DbEdit Database Utilites for Eclipse Platform. It supports XOPEN SQLState, RMI, Jini, JNDI, and serialization. It supports { UNION | INTERSECT | EXCEPT | MINUS } [ ALL ] query , INNER JOIN, FULL JOIN, LEFT JOIN, RIGHT JOIN, NATURAL JOIN, CROSS JOIN, self join, GROUP_CONCAT, multiple-row VALUES table, PIVOT table, UNPIVOT table, and subquery which includes single-row subquery, multirow subquery, multiple-column subquery, inline views, and correlated subquery. The current version of the HXTT PDF packages are available here:
First, you need to download Java11 from http://www.oracle.com if you use PDF JDBC 4.3 package(PDF_JDBC43.jar). You can download JDK1.8.X from http://www.oracle.com if you use PDF JDBC 4.2 package(PDF_JDBC42.jar). You can download JDK1.7.X, JDK1.8.X, or Java 11, if you use PDF JDBC 4.1 package(PDF_JDBC41.jar). You can download JDK1.6.X, JDK1.7.X, JDK1.8.X, or Java 11, if you use PDF JDBC 4.0 package(PDF_JDBC40.jar).
Secondly, please add PDF_JDBC43.jar, PDF_JDBC42.jar, PDF_JDBC41.jar, or PDF_JDBC40.jar to your Java class path, for instance, "SET CLASSPATH=c:\javalib\PDF_JDBC42.jar;%classpath%". You can also use "java -classpath c:\javalib\PDF_JDBC42.jar yourPDFclass" to run your class. More information about classpath, please read the "Setting the Classpath" topic in file:///yourdriver|/jdk1.8/docs/tooldocs/tools.html . You can use "java -classpath c:\javalib\PDF_JDBC42.jar yourPDFclass" too.
Thirdly, you can use 'Class.forName("com.hxtt.sql.pdf.PDFDriver").newInstance();' or Class.forName("com.hxtt.sql.pdf.PDFDriver");' to load this driver.
Fourth, if you have used other JDBC driver, you only need to know the correct
URL format for DriverManager.getConnection(url,"",""); You
can find the PDF URL format below. If you were a Java novice, please
read also other Java examples code in PDF_JDBC43demo.zip, PDF_JDBC42demo.zip, PDF_JDBC41demo.zip
or PDF_JDBC40demo.zip.
PDF URL format:
Embedded:
jdbc:pdf:[//]/[DatabasePath][?prop1=value1[;prop2=value2]] (You can omit that "//" characters sometimes)
For example:
"jdbc:pdf:/."
"jdbc:pdf:/c:/data" for Windows driver
"jdbc:pdf:///c:/data" for Windows driver
"jdbc:pdf:////usr/data" for unix or linux
"jdbc:pdf://///192.168.10.2/sharedir" for UNC path
"jdbc:pdf:/./data"
"jdbc:pdf:/./data/mydata.pdf"
Remote Access (client/server mode):
jdbc:pdf://host:port/[DatabasePath]
For example: "jdbc:pdf://domain.com:3099/c:/data" if one PDFServer is run on the 3099 port of domain.com
"jdbc:pdf://domain.com:3099/c:/data/mydata.pdf"
Compressed Database:(.ZIP, .JAR, .GZ, .TAR, .BZ2, .TGZ, .TAR.GZ, .TAR.BZ2, .7z)
jdbc url format is the same as embedded url and remote url.
For example:
"jdbc:pdf:/c:/test/testpdf.zip
Memory-only Database:
jdbc:pdf:/_memory_/
URL Database:(http protocol, https protocol, ftp protocol, sftp protocol)
jdbc:pdf:http://httpURL
jdbc:pdf:https://httpsURL
jdbc:pdf:ftp://ftpURL
jdbc:pdf:ftpes://ftpURL
jdbc:pdf:ftps://ftpURL
jdbc:pdf:sftp://sftpURL
For example:
"jdbc:pdf:http://www.hxtt.com/test" ////Note: FTP site's user/password should be set in ftpURL, and cannot be set in JDBC connection property because user/password JDBC connection property belongs to server/client connection.
//FTP protocol supports explicit SSL/TLS encryption (FTPES) and implicit SSL/TLS (FTPS). FTPES can be detected according to FTP Server reply, and FTPS can be used if you use port 990 in Ftp url.
"jdbc:pdf:sftp://testa:123456@localhost"
SAMBA Database:(smb protocol)
jdbc:pdf:smb://[[[domain;]username[:password]@]server[:port]/[[share/[dir/]file]]][?[param=value]]
For example:
"jdbc:pdf:smb://test1:123@100.100.13.94/pdffiles".zone" ////Note: SAMBA user/password should be set in SMB URL, and cannot be set in JDBC connection property because user/password JDBC connection property belongs to server/client connection.
Free JDBC url:(Warning: only use it for special project)
jdbc:pdf:/" or "jdbc:pdf:///". Then you can use some full UNC path names in SQL to visit anywhere where your Java VM has right to access.
For instance:
select * from \\amd2500\e$\pdffiles\test;
elect * from "\\amd2500\d$\pdffiles".test;
select * from ".".test;
HXTT PDF supports seamlessly data mining on memory-only table, physical table, url table, compressed table, SAMBA table in a sql. More details
is in Advanced Programming chapter.
PDF supports SQL-92. It supports { UNION | INTERSECT | EXCEPT | MINUS } [ ALL ] query , INNER JOIN, FULL JOIN, LEFT JOIN, RIGHT JOIN, NATURAL JOIN, CROSS JOIN, self join, GROUP_CONCAT, and subquery which includes single-row subquery, multirow subquery, multiple-column subquery, inline views, and correlated subquery. The major syntax is listed at here.
