Question using Dbeaver - how to obtain <oeinstalldir>/java/openedge.jar ?

[Ryszard Musielak]

Hello,

I am trying to configure the DBeaver Progress (Download | DBeaver Community) connection using these instructions:

Progress KB - OpenEdge How to configure the DBeaver SQL GUI Client to connect to an OpenEdge database

OpenEdge How to configure the DBeaver SQL GUI Client to connect to an OpenEdge database

knowledgebase.progress.com

It does not say how to obtain the openedge.jar file. The web page doesn't say how to obtain it. There is a file on the Linux server, but it probably is not quite compatible.

Does anyone know?

Thanks,
Richard

You find them in the Progress installation ${DLC}/java.

I took it from the Linux server and copied to the DBeaver jre folder. When setting the details there is nothing in the class drop-down list. THen when I test the connection I get an error message :



It looks like I can't find the Class in the Driver Config.



I may be having trouble understanding this setup.

Regards
Richard

You say you have copied the file from the Linux server but as RealHeavyDude posted the files should be in the DLC directory. For example I have the relevant library file in:

C:\Progress11\OpenEdge\java\openedge.jar

And selecting "Find Class' shows the driver available:



Do you have Progress installed on the Windows machine that is running DBeaver?

Can't speak for OE12, but: In order to use a JDBC driver on a Windows system you need to install it. A copy of the *.jar files to the system is not sufficient.
You need to install the SQL Client access from Progress on Windows. As far as I know it is a so-called deployment product which you can download free of charge.
