You can use DataDirect Test™ to test your connections. DataDirect Test is a pure Java software component developed by Progress DataDirect to test JDBC applications. It can also be used as a tool to help developers learn the JDBC API.
The DataDirect Test menu items correspond to specific JDBC functions (for example, connecting to a database or passing a SQL statement) or encapsulate multiple JDBC function calls as a shortcut to perform common tasks (for example, displaying the contents of a result set). DataDirect Test displays the results of all JDBC function calls and provides fully commented sample JDBC code in the same window.
Refer to "Using DataDirect Test" in the DataDirect Connect Series for JDBC Reference for information about testing your connection using DataDirect Test.
