Starting with version 17, Oxygen XML Developer comes bundled
with Java 8, which does not provide built-in access to JDBC-ODBC data sources. To access
such sources, you need to find an alternative JDBC-ODBC bridge or use a platform-independent
distribution of Oxygen XML Developer along with a Java VM version 7 or 6. The
following procedure shows you how to configure a generic JDBC data source:
- Open the Preferences dialog box and go to .
-
Click the
New button in the
Data Sources panel.
- Enter a unique name for the data source.
- Select Generic JDBC in the driver Type drop-down list.
- Add the driver file(s) using the Add Files button.
- Select the most appropriate Driver class.
- Click the OK button to finish the data source configuration.
