Sample JDBC Driver Applications

The Microsoft SQL Server 2005 JDBC Driver sample applications demonstrate various features of the JDBC driver. Additionally, they demonstrate good programming practices that you can follow when using the JDBC driver with a SQL Server database.

All the sample applications are contained in *.java code files that can be compiled and run on your local computer, and they are located in various subfolders in the following location:

<installation directory>\sqljdbc_<version>\<language>\help\samples

The topics in this section describe how to configure and run the sample applications, and include a discussion of what the sample applications demonstrate.
