I feel like I've seen SMP mentioned in some practice questions, but I can't recall if it's a database protocol or something else.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about JUNIT being related to testing, not databases.

I think ODBC is the right answer since we discussed it in class as a common way to connect databases.
