Oracle DB connection issue

When I try to connect java application to oracle db using jdbc thin client, my system name was sent to db server without host name (eg. 102XXXXX) But when I try with oracle client(PL/SQL developer), my system name was sent to db server with domain name appended (eg. North_America/102XXXXX). And in oracle server, my machine is whitelisted with domain name (eg. North_America/102XXXXX). So I got account locked exception when try to run the java application but have successful connection from PL/SQL developer. I am not sure how to solve this issue from my side. I need both connection. Anyone has any idea?

Note that you can also customize what the Oracle JDBC thin driver sends for the system name during authentication by setting this property "v$session.machine".

JDBC Connection String with selectMethod=cursor breaks connection

I'm trying to deploy a JBoss webapp that requires selectMethod=cursor in the jdbc driver connection string.
But when I try connecting to my mssql (2008) database with this in the string, it just timesout when connecting. When I remove selectMethod=cursor from my connection string, it works/connects, but my app doesn't work and gives me this error: [SQLServer JDBC Driver]Can't start a cloned connection while in manual transaction mode.
I have already updated my jdbc driver - tested all versions.
Here is my connection string:
jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://127.0.0.1:1434;DatabaseName=xxxx;user=xxxx;password=xxxxx;selectMethod=cursor
Thanks.

I switched from using a microsoft jdbc driver to jtds jdbc driver and it works wonderfully again.

Do the Microsoft docs on the issue shed any light on this?
This error occurs when you try to execute multiple statements against a SQL Server database with the JDBC driver while in manual transaction mode (AutoCommit=false) and while using the direct (SelectMethod=direct) mode. Direct mode is the default mode for the driver.
Resolution is:
When you use manual transaction mode, you must set the SelectMethod property of the driver to Cursor, or make sure that you use only one active statement on each connection as specified in the "More Information" section of this article.

Can't connect to SQL Server using jTDS

I'm trying to connect to SQL Server 2008 R2 via Java, and I'm unable to do so using jTDS 1.2.8. The odd thing is that it works fine using the Microsoft JDBC driver. Is there some server-side setting that needs to be turned on to enable jTDS to access it? Or am I just missing something in the URL?
I'm not using Windows integrated authentication to specify credentials, nor am I attempting to connect using SSL encryption (those are issues I found that can generate the exception I'm seeing.)
If I use the following with the Microsoft driver, it works as expected, I can access the database with no problems:
Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:sqlserver://PHSSQL792\\PHSSQL792:1433", user, password);
(user and password are variables declared earlier, so I can be sure I use the same values when connecting with either driver.)
However, if I use the following with the jTDS driver:
Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://PHSSQL792:1433;instance=PHSSQL792", user, password);
I get the following error:
java.sql.SQLException: I/O Error: DB server closed connection.

I've tried connecting with and without the database name, and/or with/without the instance name, and got the same results. Any suggestions?
Edit:
Other jTDS connection URLs I've tried (which all gave me the same error as above):
"jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://PHSSQL792:1433"
"jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://PHSSQL792:1433/pacsdb"
"jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://PHSSQL792:1433/pacsdb;instance=PHSSQL792"
The corresponding Microsoft URLS (which all worked):
"jdbc:sqlserver://PHSSQL792:1433"
"jdbc:sqlserver://PHSSQL792:1433;databasename=pacsdb"
"jdbc:sqlserver://PHSSQL792\\PHSSQL792:1433;databasename=pacsdb"
Also, I can successfully connect to a different SQL Server 2008 R2 database (on a different server) using the jTDS driver, so it's not the jar.

In case anyone ever runs into this, I came back to this much later and finally figured out the problem. The SQL Server instance in question was configured to require SSL connections! I just added ssl=request to the URL to make it work.
I think the reason the Microsoft driver works without explicitly setting SSL encryption is that it ALWAYS initially connects with SSL to encrypt username/password for login. The encrypt property only controls whether data after login is encrypted.

Here's the format we are using, which looks very close to your:
jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://localhost:1433/Dev_DB;tds=8.0;lastupdatecount=true

It's strange, yours connection strings looks correct. Try to set user and password directly:
"jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://PHSSQL792:1433/pacsdb;instance=PHSSQL792;user=sa;password=pass"

String driver="net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver";
Class.forName(driver).newInstance();
//First way
String connString="jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://192.168.1.123:1433/database_name;encrypt=false;user=sa;password=mypass;";
String username="sa";
String password="mypass";
Connection con=DriverManager.getConnection(connString,username,password);
//Second way
String connString="jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://127.0.0.1:1433/database_name;encrypt=false;user=sa;password=mypass;integratedSecurity=true;instance=SQLEXPRESS;";
String username="sa";
String password="mypass";
Connection con=DriverManager.getConnection(connString,username,password);

Exception while connecting to DB2 in java using JDBC

I am trying to connect to a db2 database in Java. Below the driver and the connection string and the driver details i am giving
Class.forName("COM.ibm.db2.jdbc.net.DB2Driver");
String url="jdbc:db2://hostname:portnumber/databasename";
sourceConnection=DriverManager.getConnection(url,"username","password");
But I am getting the below exception
"COM.ibm.db2.jdbc.DB2Exception: [IBM][JDBC Driver] CLI0615E Error receiving from socket, server is not responding. SQLSTATE=08S01"
I also tried changing the connection string to
String url="jdbc:db2:hostname:portnumber/databasename";
Still it is resulting the same exception above while trying to get the Connection.
And i have tried the below option also using JDBC app driver
Class.forName("COM.ibm.db2.jdbc.app.DB2Driver");
DB2DataSource db2ds = new DB2DataSource();
db2ds.setServerName("hostname");
db2ds.setPortNumber(portnumber);
db2ds.setDatabaseName("databasename");
db2ds.setUser("username");
db2ds.setPassword("password");
sourceConnection=db2ds.getConnection();
For the above two connection I used the jar "db2java.jar"
And i have tried using the JCC driver:
Class.forName("com.ibm.db2.jcc.DB2Driver");
String url="jdbc:db2://hostname:portnumber/databasename";
sourceConnection=DriverManager.getConnection(url,"username","password");
For this connection i have added the below jars
1)db2jcc.jar
2)db2jcc_license_cu.jar
This time around I am getting the below error,
"com.ibm.db2.jcc.am.go: [jcc][t4][201][11237][3.57.82] Connection authorization failure occurred.
Reason: Security mechanism not supported. ERRORCODE=-4214, SQLSTATE=28000"
I tried to connect to the same db2 source using "Quest for DB2" tool and the connection was successful.
Am i missing something in the code and is it a problem with DB2 drivers or connection string?
Can someone please guide me.
Thanks in advance.

Cause:
If the DB2® instance where InfoSphere Optim Performance Manager is running has the authentication configuration parameter set to DATA_ENCRYPT, you cannot log in to the web console.
Resolving the problem:
Do the following steps:
On the DB2 instance where Optim Performance Manager is running, set the authentication configuration parameter to SERVER by issuing the following command:
db2 update dbm cfg using authentication server
Restart the DB2 instance and InfoSphere Optim Performance Manager.

Your first two attempts were not supposed to work. You're using the JCC driver URL format, so it wouldn't be valid for either "net" or "app" drivers, which are deprecated anyway.
Use the JCC driver (com.ibm.db2.jcc.DB2Driver) and the URL format of "jdbc:db2://hostname:portnumber/databasename" and see this technote for the solution to the "Security mechanism not supported" problem. In short, you need to use a supported JDK.

Problem in establishing DB2 connection in Java with wrong username/password

I have a problem in establishing DB2 connection with wrong user-name/password. We have an application which runs on LAN on many systems using DB2 database located on my system as well as other systems.
Firstly I use this URL to create other system DB2 connection:
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:db2://Rahulkcomputer:50000/XAN4", "rahulk", "dbirs#35");
this returns proper Connection object. Now when I change the URL to access my system DB2 connection with same user-name/password as (using same user-name/password is intensely done for checking error handling):
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:db2://127.0.0.1:50000/XAN4", "rahulk", "dbirs#35");
This time it again returns the Connection object instead of throwing an SQLException specifying wrong user-name/password (due to my system's DB2 authentication is totally different from Rahulkcomputer's system)
After getting connection, I execute this query to check proper user name as explained in post:
Simple DB2 Query for connection validation
SELECT CURRENT SQLID FROM SYSIBM.SYSDUMMY1
(this returns "rahulk" in both cases)
Why DB2 created connection in 2nd case with wrong user-name/password (moreover when we close all the services of DB2 on Rahulkcomputer, even then I get the connection in 2nd case)?
Thanks in Advance.

You either created your database with the restrictive option or revoked the select right to sysibm from PUBLIC. The connection you had was fine, the access rights not. 42704 is DB2's way of saying "huh?", it did not recognize sysibm because you had no rights to see it.
