How you start DataDirect Test depends on your platform:

  • As a Java application on Windows. Run the testforjdbc.bat file located in the testforjdbc subdirectory of your product installation directory.
  • As a Java application on Linux/UNIX. Run the testforjdbc.sh shell script located in the testforjdbc subdirectory in the installation directory.

After you start DataDirect Test, the Test for JDBC Tool window appears.


Test for JDBC Tool window

The main Test for JDBC Tool window shows the following information:

  • In the Connection List box, a list of available connections.
  • In the JDBC/Database Output scroll box, a report indicating whether the last action succeeded or failed.
  • In the Java Code scroll box, the actual Java code used to implement the last action.
Tip: DataDirect Test windows contain two Concatenate check boxes. Select a Concatenate check box to see a cumulative record of previous actions; otherwise, only the last action is shown. Selecting Concatenate can degrade performance, particularly when displaying large result sets.
