                                                    <-- MS SQL Server JDBC driver

Here’s BlackberryDataExtractor.java. It doesn’t really do anything yet. I’m just trying to get basic stuff working like DB connection:

import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.SQLException;
import com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc;

class BlackberryDataExtractor {

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    Connection con = BlackberryDataExtractor.getConnection();
  }

  public static final Connection getConnection()
  {
    Connection con = null;
    try
    {
      Class.forName("com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver");
      con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:sqlserver://[ etc... ]");
      String SQL = "SELECT uc.MailboxSMTPAddr AS email, sd.PhoneNumber AS phone_number"
        + "FROM dbo.UserConfig uc, dbo.SyncDeviceMgmtSummary sd"
        + "WHERE sd.UserConfigId = uc.Id";
      Statement stmt = con.createStatement();
      ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(SQL);

      while (rs.next()) {
        System.out.println(rs.getString("email") + ", " + rs.getString("phone_number"));
      }
      rs.close();
      stmt.close();

    }
    catch(SQLException e)
    {
      e.printStackTrace();
    }
    catch(ClassNotFoundException e)
    {
      e.printStackTrace();
    }
    return con;
  }
}

It won’t compile. Here’s the error:

$ javac -cp "$CLASSPATH;*.jar" BlackberryDataExtractor.java
BlackberryDataExtractor.java:4: package com.microsoft.sqlserver does not exist
import com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc;

Answer 1

javac does not understand wildcards like *.jar. You have to be explicit.

Try javac -cp "$CLASSPATH;sqljdbc4.jar" ...
