TestComplete samples (both built-in and additional) are located in the <Users>\Public\Public Documents\TestComplete 15 Samples folder.

Some file managers display the Public Documents folder as Documents.

The following example illustrates how you can use the IAQAADOConnection object, based on the TADOConnection class. The TestProc procedure connects to the database, executes the query, and inserts results into the test log.

Notes:

This example uses the OrdersDB.mdb file that is part of the additional sample package. To use it, download this package from support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/downloads/samples and install it. After the installation is over, you can find the database in the <TestComplete 15 Samples>\Desktop\Checkpoints\XML\DataGridViewSample folder.
The syntax of the command’s query depends on the SQL provider you use. For instance, if you work through the Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0 provider, you can specify parameters by their names. Some other providers may use question marks (?) as parameter placeholders (the first question mark corresponds to the first parameter, the second - to the second and so on). Some providers may support both techniques, or use their own syntax. For more information on the command syntax, see the database provider's documentation.
Using the Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0 provider requires that you run your script in the 32-bit version of TestComplete.

TestComplete 32-bit executable is located in the <TestComplete>\Bin folder.
