The Microsoft SQL Server 2005 JDBC Driver sample applications are a set of applications that 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 ran 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.
