Connecting to TDV Server through SQuirreL
SQuirreL is a third-party tool. These instructions are included only as a guideline; your system and the steps necessary to configure it might vary from the test system that was used in this sample. You will need to refer to SQuirreL documentation and perform thorough testing of your system after completing the install and configuration.
It is not necessary to have TDV installed on your computer to connect Squirrel to TDV. You can get a copy of the csjdbc.jar file from someone who has TDV installed. Save the csjdbc.jar file anywhere on your local file system, and provide its path to Squirrel so that Squirrel can find it.
