unexpected output while using sun.jdbc.odbc.jdbcodbcDriver

Question

I want to insert a row into an Excel sheet using Java but instead of getting expected output, I get an output as sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbc.Driver. I am using JDK 1.6.0

import java.sql.*;
import java.util.*;

class ins
{
    public static void main(String args[])
    {
        try

        {
            Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.jdbcOdbcDriver");
            Connection con=DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:DSNxls");

            Statement st=con.createStatement();

            Scanner sc=new Scanner(System.in);
            System.out.println("Please enter your firstname.");
            String fnamej=sc.next();

            System.out.println("Please enter your middlename.");
            String mnamej=sc.next();


            System.out.println("Please enter your lastname.");
            String lnamej=sc.next();


            st.executeUpdate("insert into [Sheet1$]    values("+fnamej+","+mnamej+","+lnamej+")");
        }
        catch(Exception e)
        {
            System.out.println(e.getMessage());
        }
    }
}

change `System.out.println(e.getMessage())` to `e.printStackTrace()` and post the stack trace in your question so we can se what is going on. — DaveH, Feb 14 '17 at 10:16

@IshutaWankhede are you using java 8? this may be helpful http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21955256/manipulating-an-access-database-from-java-without-odbc — Shubham Chaurasia, Feb 14 '17 at 10:23

I think you need to change sun.jdbc.odbc.jdbcOdbcDriver to sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver, i.e. capitalize 'J'.

st.executeUpdate("insert into [Sheet1$] values("+fnamej+","+mnamej+","+lnamej+")"); – Ishuta Wankhede Feb 14 '17 at 11:30
but it adds the entry as fnamej mnamej lnamej – Ishuta Wankhede Feb 14 '17 at 11:31

You need to use Java 8 to solve this problem or download some jar files and make a few code changes. Here is the link of a video which will help you completely:

No, the problem was an incorrect class name. See the answer given in 2017, where the OP explains that it was fixed. – Jon Skeet Mar 16 '19 at 21:35
