  1. Right-click the driver or connection in the Explorer window, and choose Test Driver from the contextual menu.
  2. In the dialog box that appears, type the connection information (database URL, user name, and password).
  3. Click OK.

    If all values shown in the output correspond with the actual database, you can use the drive. If an "unsupported exception" appears, test to make sure that the data displayed in the output window is valid for example, make sure that the number of tables or columns correspond with the actual data.

tip The system returns the "Internal test driver failed" message when it finds a return value of 0 or an exception. If your database is empty or a table has no foreign references, the driver itself might not be the cause of the failure.
