Hi guys,
I've tried everything (e.g. troubleshooting, googling, etc) and am unable to solve this and am hoping that some of you can help me.
I'm trying to connect to a teradata server using the JDBC drivers provided. While I can do this within R, for some reason I keep running into errors with Python. My code is:
import jpype
import jaydebeapi
classpath = "~/tdgssconfig.jar;~/terajdbc4.jar"
jvm_path = "/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_65.jdk/Contents/Home/jre/lib/server/libjvm.dylib"
jpype.startJVM(jvm_path, "-Djava.class.path=%s" % classpath)
conn = jaydebeapi.connect('com.teradata.jdbc.TeraDriver', 'jdbc:teradata://TERADATA.SERVER.ADDRESS' , USERNAME', 'PASSWORD', ["~/tdgssconfig.jar","~/terajdbc4.jar"])
Each time I run the above code, I'll get to the last line and the following error appears:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.5/lib/python3.5/site-packages/jaydebeapi/__init__.py", line 359, in connect
jconn = _jdbc_connect(jclassname, jars, libs, *driver_args)
File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.5/lib/python3.5/site-packages/jaydebeapi/__init__.py", line 182, in _jdbc_connect_jpype
jpype.JClass(jclassname)
File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.5/lib/python3.5/site-packages/jpype/_jclass.py", line 55, in JClass
raise _RUNTIMEEXCEPTION.PYEXC("Class %s not found" % name)
jpype._jexception.RuntimeExceptionPyRaisable: java.lang.RuntimeException: Class com.teradata.jdbc.TeraDriver not found
I'm inferring from the error that the module is having trouble finding the drivers. But I've confirmed multiple times that I can access the drivers at the location I've listed AND have tried moving the drivers to different locations, specifying the full path, etc. I don't know what's going on and why the module won't find it. Anybody have any ideas? I'm running Python 3.5 on Mac OSX 10.11.2. As indicated from the code, I'm using Java 1.8.
Thanks!!!
