NEWBIE needs help

I have just download the free version of dbvis. I need help connecting it to a database. I do not have a server or a database. All I have at the present time is the software. can some one help me get connected to a test database? Thank you! -T

Hi Tod, Everything that is needed to create an embedded H2 database is bundled with DbVisualizer, so if you just want something simple to test with, I suggest you create a connection like that: 1) Tools->Connection Wizard launches the Connection Wizard 2) Enter any name for your connection on the first page, e.g. "My H2 database" 3) Select "H2 embedded" as the driver on the second page 4) Enter a filename for the database data (or use the default) and leave everything else as-is on the third page. 5) Click Finish to create the connection Best Regards, Hans

yes! works great! thank you!

could you provide me with a link for some good instructions for querying data with this tool for beginners? I am a beginner at sql and dbvis and just need something to get started. I have seen a lot of pages, but what I really need is a little direction to focus my efforts. Thank you -T
