> # 6 Using DataDirect Test™

> This chapter provides information about DataDirect Test, a tool that allows you to test and learn the JDBC API, and contains a tutorial that takes you through a working example of its use.

> DataDirect Test contains menu selections that correspond to specific JDBC functions-for example, connecting to a database or passing a SQL statement. It allows you to:

> - Execute a single JDBC method or execute multiple JDBC methods simultaneously, so that you can easily perform some common tasks, such as returning result sets
> - Display the results of all JDBC function calls in one window, while displaying fully commented, Java JDBC code in an alternate window
