TestSQL.java

/*
This sample performs basic database operations using the Sun JDBC-ODBC bridge.

Create the sample JDBC data source:
    - open Control Panel / Administrative tools / Data Sources (ODBC)
    - switch to System DSN tab
    - press the "add" button
    - create new database, selecting "Driver to Microsoft Access(*.mdb)" from the list
    - set data source name "TestBase" and ensure the DB is not read-only
