Enterprise-class JDBC Connectivity

The SharePoint Excel Services JDBC Driver offers the most natural way to access SharePoint Excel Services data from any Java/J2EE application. Simply use the SharePoint Excel Services Driver to connect and access data just as you would access any traditional database. The driver is completely self-contained - no additional software installation is required!

SharePoint Excel Services Integration

The SharePoint Excel Services Driver has the same JDBC architecture as the JDBC drivers for MySQL and OLEDB, including Connection, Statement and ResultSet objects. Because of this you can now access SharePoint Excel Services data in an easy, familiar way. You can use the SharePoint Excel Services Driver through popular IDEs (Eclipse, IntelliJ, NetBeans, etc.), in code through familiar classes, and in data controls available through Swing, Eclipse SWT Widgets, etc.

For example:

Connection conn =
	DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:sharepointexcelservices:user=myuseraccount;password=mypassword;");

boolean ret = stat.execute("SELECT * FROM ExcelSheet");
ResultSet rs=stat.getResultSet();
while(rs.next()){
  for(int i=1;i<=rs.getMetaData().getColumnCount();i++)
  {
    System.out.println(rs.getMetaData().getColumnName(i) +"="+rs.getString(i));
  }
}
