To test, try modifying some of the tutorial examples. Make sure you customize the connection settings correctly. You can debug using:
<?php
include('adodb/adodb.inc.php');
$db = ADONewConnection($driver); # eg. 'mysql' or 'oci8' 
$db->debug = true;
$db->Connect($server, $user, $password, $database);
$rs = $db->Execute('select * from some_small_table');
print "<pre>";
print_r($rs->GetRows());
print "</pre>";
