Testcomplete 9, Database checkpoint, Firebird 2.5

I use Testcomplete 9 and I want to create a database checkpoint to compare the value in grid site with the value in database (Firebird 2.5). At the step 4: Specifying the Data to Store, no column information shows up, instead, an empty grid site shows up.

 

Does that mean my database driver is not updated? 

If so, where can I get the latest database driver?

 

Thanks!

    Hi Yiqun,

     

    This means that the database driver cannot read database schema (get the structure of the table) and yes, you need either to update the driver or to try some other one.

    TestComplete does not provide any drivers to access databases but uses drivers that are installed in the sustem using the functionality provided by the ADO library (included with the Windows OS).

    you can get firbird drivers from hear

    install odbc drivers.

    when connecting select installed ODBC driver as provider.

    if there is error "Automatic transaction mode is disabled" then add "auto_commit = true" in the connection string
