I have tested in the below method :I am not sure if we have any other alternative to test the database connectivity

I have used the below code to connect to the SQL database : 

my $dbh = DBI->connect($DBSERVER, $DBUSERID, $DBPASSWD)

    or die "Can't connect to $DBSERVER: $DBI::errstr";

[download]

The $ DBSERVER parameter should contain the value “dbi::driver_name”. The driver_name specifies the driver that is used to make the connection

I tried to pull the installed drivers using the below command “@ary = DBI->available_drivers; “ and the value returned is “DBMExamplePFileGoferProxySponge$”.

When tried to run the datasource with the ‘DBMExamplePFileGoferProxySponge’ driver the connection failed with the message “install_driver(DBMExamplePFileGoferProxySponge$) failed:”
