DB
1) Create a DSN connection using ODBC (Control panel - > administrative tools)
2) use DB_Connect() to connect to the database:
hdbc = DB_Connect ("DSN= YOUR DSN CONNECTION
NAME;UID=name;PWD=Password")
hstmnt = DB_ExecuteSql (hdbc, "SELECT * FROM bla_bla_bla")

CONS
My experience:
"I give you for testing a new application but I'm not sure that it could be automated"

13. Information Classification: Limited AccessInformation Classification: Limited Access
Сouldn't find an element on the page
Sometimes couldn't pick up external app
Also have experience when doesn't see excluded functions

Sometimes standard SilkTest functions do not work
properly, so you should your own methods and it is cool
and Fun )))

15. Information Classification: Limited AccessInformation Classification: Limited Access
So I really like working with SilkTest.
- Easy to start and create new framework
- Easy to write test cases
- Ability to use external applications
- It is possible to do DB verifications
- And sometimes it is really hard work for brain
