Quick Start: how to connect?

There are five ways to connect to a database:

1. Direct connection
2. Connection to desktop files
3. Data source with ODBC, IDAPI or Oracle Call Interface (OCI)
4. DSN File connection
5. OLE DB connection

In all modes the "Test" and "Information" buttons, as well as tools for working with connection profiles are available. "Test" button allows you to check information you entered and/or data source (or alias) configuration.
