I have installed Oracle SQL Developer and I have created an MS access database called LD.accdb. I want to connect to my database with the Oracle SQL Developer. My OS is WIn 7 and I run MS Access 2010. I follow the steps as presented in the following link:

https://www.packtpub.com/books/content/ms-access-queries-oracle-sql-developer-12-tool

but when I test my connection from the SQL Developer (see after completing fig.13 in the link above) and test my connection, it fails with the following error message:

[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified

So I go to the ODBC Data Source Administrator (Control Panel-->Administrative Tools) and I have tried some things but I have not been successful making my connection successful. Can you help me on that? Thank you very much in advance.

SQL Developer v4.0.3 is the version that supports MS Access database connections.

The JDBC/ODBC Bridge was deprecated in JAVA JRE v1.8. As of version SQL Developer 4.1 and above required the JAVA JRE v1.8.
