Chapter15.Sample Applications

Abstract

Information on installing and using the supplied samples.

A number of sample applications are bundled with your Universal Data Access Driver Suite installation for the following purposes:

  • To simplifying the process of getting the product up and running

  • To accelerate the support case creation and resolution process

  • To demonstrate the Data Access Driver Suite's unique product features highlighting the benefits it brings to your organization

  • To demonstrate application programming techniques that can used to aid and assist your ODBC and JDBC programmers

The Universal Data Access Driver Suite services are consumed primarily via ODBC and JDBC applications (OLE-DB applications connect via ODBC Data Providers for OLE-DB), thus separate ODBC & JDBC sample applications (including source code) have been packaged and integrated into the installer. The current list of sample applications include:

  • C++ Demo. an ODBC based Interactive SQL processor written in C++.

  • ODBC Bench Test. a 32 Bit C++ program based on the industry standard TPC-A benchmark (we will be extending this program to include the TPC-C and TPC-D benchmarks also). This program helps you compare the performance of Virtuoso against other backend database engines as well as compare the performance of various ODBC Drivers connecting to any ODBC compliant backend database.

  • ODBCTEST. ODBC based Interactive SQL processor written in 'C' for Linux & UNIX

  • JDBCDemo. a JDBC sample application that demonstrates an SQL query.

  • Rowset Demo. a JDBC application that demonstrates OpenLink's JDBC Driver with the OpenLink Scrollable Cursor RowSet Extension to the JDBC specification.

  • ScrollDemo2. a JDBC 2.0 sample application that demonstrates OpenLink's support of Scrollable Cursors and its ability to perform scrollable cursor operations across heterogeneous databases.

  • JBench. a Java and JDBC based adaptations of the industry standard TPC-A benchmarks. This program helps you compare the performance of OpenLink's Virtuoso against other backend database engines, it also helps you to compare the performance of various JDBC Drivers connecting to any JDBC compliant backend database.
