SQLite3 on ODBC Driver: string connection error - sqlite

I'm trying to connect to SQLite through ODBC/Windows 7 with VbScript.
Using Werner's SQLite ODBC driver (http://www.ch-werner.de/sqliteodbc) to connect to a local SQLite file (c:\test.db).
Using the connection string suggest at https://www.connectionstrings.com/sqlite3-odbc-driver
Dim dbConn : Set dbConn = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
ConnectionString = "DRIVER=SQLite3 ODBC Driver;Database=c:\test.db;LongNames=0;Timeout=1000;NoTXN=0; SyncPragma=NORMAL;StepAPI=0;"
dbConn.open ConnectionString
I already tried reinstalling the driver and restarting the system. The error message is always there:
Error: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified
Code: 80004005
Source: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers
Any ideas?

Quoted from the SQLite ODBC Driver developer (Christian):
Check your installation. Version 0.992 is pretty old, current version
is 0.999. If you have a 64 bit Windows, install both 64 and 32 bit
drivers. It could be that the VB stuff is still 32 bit.
The program launching the script was 32Bit (despite the OS is 64Bit). Hence the need to install both 32 and 64Bit versions of the driver.

Connect to HSQLDB 2.5 via Windows ODBC PostgreSQL driver

I am having a problem configuring the Windows PostgreSQL ODBC driver to connect to HSQLDB 2.5.0. As per the HSQLDB documentation I have installed version 11.01 of the PostgreSQL ODBC driver. When I test the connection from the ODBC Data Source Administrator I see the following in the ODBC log file: [0.000]Driver Version='11.01.0000,May 24 2019' linking 1915 dynamic Multithread library
[0.000]PQconnectdbParams: host='localhost' port='9001' dbname='test' user='test' sslmode='disable' password='test'
[0.109]PQsendQuery: 000000000033BCA0 'SET DateStyle = 'ISO';SET extra_float_digits = 2;show transaction_isolation'
[0.109] (ERROR) 42501 'user lacks privilege or object not found: DATESTYLE'
[1.157]PQfinish: 000000000033BCA0
It looks like the driver is sending a "SET DateStyle" command that HSQLDB doesn't understand. I've tried changing all the datasource options with no success. I have tried both the Unicode and ANSI versions of the driver.
The documentation on the web site is for version 2.5.1 which is in Release Candidate stage. You can download a snapshot jar from http://hsqldb.org/download/

Connect R to MS Access 64bit Windows

I'm trying to connect R with an MS Access database on a Windows 7 64bit machine.
library(RODBC)
con <- odbcConnectAccess2007("M:/path/to/mydatabase/my.database.accdb")
# [RODBC] ERROR: state IM002, code 0, message [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specifiedODBC connection failed
I've also tried package odbc using connection strings specified at https://www.connectionstrings.com/access/ but similarly cannot connect
library(DBI)
con <- dbConnect(drv = odbc::odbc(), dsn = "Microsoft Access Driver", driver = "Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb, *.accdb)", database = "M:/path/to/mydatabase/my.database.accdb")
# Error: nanodbc/nanodbc.cpp:950: IM002: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified
What am I doing wrong?
You can use my AceOdbcCheck script to test your machine for a valid install of Access "ACE" ODBC. If you don't have it installed you can download the drivers here.
Note that the "bitness" (64-bit or 32-bit) of the Access ODBC driver must match the version of R you are running. That is, if you are running 32-bit R then you need the 32-bit drivers even though you are running 64-bit Windows.

pyodbc cannot connect whereas similar connection works with RODBC

I try to connect to my DB with the following request:
import pyodbc
connectionString = "driver={Adaptive Server Enterprise};database=#DB#;Server=#Server#;port=#port#;UID=#UID#;PWD=#PWD#;"
pyodbc.connect(connectionString)
However I get the following error, as if my connection string is not correct:
Error: ('IM002', '[IM002] [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source
name not found and no default driver specified (0)
(SQLDriverConnect)')
Which is strange, since I managed to connect to my DB in R with ROBC module.
library(RODBC)
ch = odbcDriverConnect(connection = connectionString)
Any idea what is wrong with my connection string in pyodbc ?
I resolved my problem, the request is working with 32-bits python interpreter.
It appears not to be 64bits compatible.

Connecting to MS Access Database from R (x64)

I am trying to access my Access database using R. I have tried the below options but I am not able to connect to the database. I am using 64 bit R and 64 bit Access. I am using windows 7 also.. :(
library(RODBC)
db <- "E:/testdb.accdb"
myconn <-odbcDriverConnect("Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb, *.accdb)};DBQ=E:/test.accdb")
con2 <- odbcConnect(db)
channel <- odbcConnectAccess("E:/testdb")
I always get the error. Please help me.
1: In odbcDriverConnect("DSN=E:/testdb.accdb") :
[RODBC] ERROR: state IM002, code 0, message [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified
2: In odbcDriverConnect("DSN=E:/testdb.accdb") : ODBC connection failed
I think the problem is as error message suggests - you don't have x64 Microsoft Access driver installed. Check it in Control panel - ODBC Data Sources (x64) on the Drivers tab. If it's not there, try to install Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable.

MySQL connection string for ASP.NET

I have a ASP.NET application running in VS2008 and i have ODBC connection in web.config file.
I am using 64bit Windows 7 machine.
I am trying to connect it with my MYSQL workbench but it shows me the following error:
ERROR [IM002] [Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not
found and no default driver specified
and i am using the following connection string :
add name="dbConnectionString" connectionString="DRIVER={MySQL ODBC 5.2w Driver};server=localhost;User Id=root;database=dbname; providerName="System.Data.Odbc"
Please let me know what i am missing ?
Thanks in advance
You need to install MyODBC which is MyODBC 5.2 in your case.. Or you can use whatever MYODBC Driver is installed.. just change your DRIVER in the connection string accordingly
