DataDirect Test is a software component you can use while developing and testing your JDBC applications. It contains menu selections that correspond to specific JDBC functions, for example, connecting to a database or executing a SQL statement. DataDirect Test allows you to execute a single JDBC method or execute multiple JDBC methods simultaneously so that you can easily perform common tasks, such as returning result sets. In addition, you can display the results of all JDBC function calls in one window, while displaying fully commented Java JDBC code in an alternate window.

When you brand the drivers, the following startup files are created for DataDirect Test in the /install_dir/testforjdbc subdirectory in your product installation directory where xx is the vendor file prefix you specified during branding:

  • xxtestforjdbc.bat (Windows)
  • xxtestforjdbc.sh (UNIX/Linux)

Use the appropriate file for your platform to start DataDirect Test, and refer to the product user's guide for more information about using DataDirect Test.
