LabSQL uses ADO to make connections to databases. If you don't know what this means, or how to work with database, you should go through a tutorial on databases. The connection to a database is either made through a run-time connection string which simply specifies the parameters for the connection, like the name of the server, the name of the database, and the authorization credentials. Or, you can set up what's known as a Data Source Name, which is basically a pre-defined configuration file that defines all this. The examples that ship with LabSQL assume that you have the data source name setup. This is explained in the "README_FIRST" document that ships with LabSQL. You did read that first, right?
