Can we automate database using selenium?

Question

Could someone tell me whether could we automate the database using Selenium?

Answer 1

Not really I would say, as Selenium is designed to automate testing of web applications and UI validations. For automating database testing using Selenium, it needs connectors like JDBC (Java Database Connectivity) or ODBC. I will share the steps to automate database testing using Selenium using JDBC down below for your reference: 

1. Insert tables onto the database created in the command prompt. 
2. Using JDBC (Java Database Connectivity) establish a connection to the database.
3. Execute the SQL queries and process records present in it.
4. Finally, perform Database testing by integrating TestNG to JDBC.
