<h3 class="page-header" ><span id="connection"></span>Connection to the database</h3>
<p>To make assertions on a database, it is necessary to connect. For that, either to use a <code class="java">DataSource</code>
or a <code class="java">Source</code>.</p>
<h4 class="page-header" ><span id="datasource"></span>DataSource</h4>
<p>A <a href="http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/sql/DataSource.html">DataSource</a> is the classic Java way
to get a <a href="http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/sql/Connection.html">Connection</a> to a database.</p>
<h4 class="page-header" ><span id="source"></span>Source</h4>
<p>A <a href="https://www.javadoc.io/doc/org.assertj/assertj-db/latest/org/assertj/db/type/Source.html">Source</a> is a way
to connect if you have not access to a DataSource or if you do not want to use one. It allows you
to pass the necessary connection information as constructor parameters. Below is an example of using a Source
to connect to H2 in memory database :
</p>
<pre><code class="java">Source source = new Source("jdbc:h2:mem:test", "sa", "");</code></pre>
<h4 class="page-header" ><span id="datasourcewithlettercase"></span>DataSource with LetterCase</h4>
<p><i>Since <a href="assertj-db-news.html#assertj-db-1.1.0">1.1.0</a></i></p>
<p>A <a href="https://www.javadoc.io/doc/org.assertj/assertj-db/latest/org/assertj/db/type/DataSourceWithLetterCase.html">DataSourceWithLetterCase</a> is a
<a href="http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/sql/DataSource.html">DataSource</a> which allows to indicate the
<a href="https://www.javadoc.io/doc/org.assertj/assertj-db/latest/org/assertj/db/type/lettercase/LetterCase.html">LetterCase</a>
for the tables, columns and primary keys.</p>
<pre><code class="java">DataSource ds = new DataSourceWithLetterCase(dataSource,
tableLetterCase,
columnLetterCase,
pkLetterCase);</code></pre>

<h3 class="page-header" ><span id="elements"></span>Elements of the database</h3>
<p>Here the elements on which it is possible to make assertions.</p>
<p>Note that, there are only 3 root elements : <a href="https://www.javadoc.io/doc/org.assertj/assertj-db/latest/org/assertj/db/type/Table.html">Table</a>,
<a href="https://www.javadoc.io/doc/org.assertj/assertj-db/latest/org/assertj/db/type/Request.html">Request</a>
and <a href="https://www.javadoc.io/doc/org.assertj/assertj-db/latest/org/assertj/db/type/Changes.html">Changes</a>.</p>
<p>That means that the other elements are components or sub components of a root element.</p>
<p>A root element is an element on which the assertion start (in practice, the parameter of a <code class="java">assertThat(...)</code> method).</p>
</p>
<h4 class="page-header" ><span id="table"></span>Table</h4>
<p>A <a href="https://www.javadoc.io/doc/org.assertj/assertj-db/latest/org/assertj/db/type/Table.html">Table</a> represents
