Connecting to ODBC source in YellowFin installed on Java 8
30 July, 2015
I am trying to connect to ODBC source using below settings but getting error as
'java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver'
YellowFin is installed on Java 8, on investigating, I found out that support for JdbcOdbc driver have been removed from Java 8 onwards, refer this
If I try to make same type of connection using Yellowfin installed on Java 7 it works fine as it has definition for JdbcOdbc driver
Do YellowFin has some fix/workaround to connect to ODBC sources for Yellowfin installations on Java 8

Hi,
No, currently ODBC support is only available with versions of Java versions prior to 8.
Ideally you can use a native JDBC driver to achieve the same connection..
Thanks.
