DataDirect Technologies ships an application, named example, that is installed in the example subdirectory in the product installation directory. Once you have configured your environment and data source, use the example application to test passing SQL statements. To run the application, enter
example and follow the prompts to enter your data source name, user name, and password.
If successful, a SQL> prompt appears and you can type in SQL statements, such as
SELECT * FROM table_name. If example is unable to connect to the database, an appropriate error message appears.
