It supports JBuilder's Database Pilot, Oracle's JVM, JDeveloper 10G, Dreamweaver UltraDev, Dreamweaver ColdFusion, ObJectRelationalBridge, DBVisualizer, iSQL-Viewer, AquaDataStudio, Sunopsis, MySQL Migration Toolkit, Tomcat, vqServer, Hibernate, SQuirreL SQL Client, Crystal Reports, Jisql, and DbEdit Database Utilites for Eclipse Platform. It supports XOPEN SQLState, RMI, Jini, JNDI, and serialization. It supports { UNION | INTERSECT | EXCEPT | MINUS } [ ALL ] query , INNER JOIN, FULL JOIN, LEFT JOIN, RIGHT JOIN, NATURAL JOIN, CROSS JOIN, self join, GROUP_CONCAT, multiple-row VALUES table, PIVOT table, UNPIVOT table, and subquery which includes single-row subquery, multirow subquery, multiple-column subquery, inline views, and correlated subquery.

Follow Me

First, you need to download Java11 from http://www.oracle.com if you use Word JDBC 4.3 package(Word_JDBC43.jar). You can download JDK1.8.X from http://www.oracle.com if you use Word JDBC 4.2 package(Word_JDBC42.jar).

Secondly, please add Word_JDBC43.jar or Word_JDBC42.jar to your Java class path, for instance, "SET CLASSPATH=c:\javalib\Word_JDBC42.jar;%classpath%". You can also use "java -classpath c:\javalib\Word_JDBC42.jar yourWordclass" to run your class. More information about classpath, please read the "Setting the Classpath" topic in file:///yourdriver|/jdk1.8/docs/tooldocs/tools.html . You can use "java -classpath c:\javalib\Word_JDBC42.jar yourWordclass" too.

Thirdly, you can use 'Class.forName("com.hxtt.sql.word.WordDriver").newInstance();' or Class.forName("com.hxtt.sql.word.WordDriver");' to load this driver.

Fourth, if you have used other JDBC driver, you only need to know the correct URL format for DriverManager.getConnection(url,"",""); You can find the Word URL format below. If you were a Java novice, please read also other Java examples code in Word_JDBC43demo.zip, Word_JDBC42demo.zip, Word_JDBC41demo.zip or Word_JDBC40demo.zip.
Word URL format:

        Embedded:
                jdbc:word:[//]/[DatabasePath][?prop1=value1[;prop2=value2]] (You can omit that "//" characters sometimes)
                        For example:
                                "jdbc:word:/."
                                "jdbc:word:/c:/data" for Windows driver
                                "jdbc:word:///c:/data" for Windows driver
                                "jdbc:word:////usr/data" for unix or linux
                                "jdbc:word://///192.168.10.2/sharedir" for UNC path
                                "jdbc:word:/./data"
                                "jdbc:word:/./data/mydata.docx"
        Remote Access (client/server mode):
                jdbc:word://host:port/[DatabasePath]
                        For example: "jdbc:word://domain.com:3099/c:/data" if one WordServer is run on the 3099 port of domain.com
                                     "jdbc:word://domain.com:3099/c:/data/mydata.docx"
        Compressed Database:(.ZIP, .JAR, .GZ, .TAR, .BZ2, .TGZ, .TAR.GZ, .TAR.BZ2, .7z) 
                jdbc url format is the same as embedded url and remote url.
                        For example:
                                "jdbc:word:/c:/test/testword.zip
        Memory-only Database:
                jdbc:word:/_memory_/
        URL Database:(http protocol, https protocol, ftp protocol, sftp protocol)
                jdbc:word:http://httpURL
                jdbc:word:https://httpsURL
                jdbc:word:ftp://ftpURL
                jdbc:word:ftpes://ftpURL
                jdbc:word:ftps://ftpURL
                jdbc:word:sftp://sftpURL
                        For example:
                                "jdbc:word:http://www.hxtt.com/test" ////Note: FTP site's user/password should be set in ftpURL, and cannot be set in JDBC connection property because user/password JDBC connection property belongs to server/client connection.
                                               //FTP  protocol supports  explicit SSL/TLS encryption (FTPES)  and  implicit SSL/TLS (FTPS). FTPES can be detected according to FTP Server reply, and FTPS can be used if you use port 990 in  Ftp url.
	        "jdbc:word:sftp://testa:123456@localhost"

        SAMBA Database:(smb protocol)
                jdbc:word:smb://[[[domain;]username[:password]@]server[:port]/[[share/[dir/]file]]][?[param=value]]
                        For example:
                                "jdbc:word:smb://test1:123@100.100.13.94/wordfiles".zone" ////Note: SAMBA user/password should be set in SMB URL, and cannot be set in JDBC connection property because user/password JDBC connection property belongs to server/client connection.
	Free JDBC url:(Warning: only use it for special project)
                jdbc:word:/" or "jdbc:word:///". Then you can use some full UNC path names in SQL to visit anywhere where your Java VM has right to access.
                        For instance:
                                select * from \\amd2500\e$\wordfiles\test;
                                elect * from "\\amd2500\d$\wordfiles".test;
                                select * from ".".test;

         HXTT Word supports seamlessly data mining on memory-only table, physical table, url table, compressed table, SAMBA table in a sql. More details
         is in Advanced Programming chapter.

Word supports SQL-92. It supports { UNION | INTERSECT | EXCEPT | MINUS } [ ALL ] query , INNER JOIN, FULL JOIN, LEFT JOIN, RIGHT JOIN, NATURAL JOIN, CROSS JOIN, self join, GROUP_CONCAT, and subquery which includes single-row subquery, multirow subquery, multiple-column subquery, inline views, and correlated subquery. The major syntax is listed at here.
