- * This interface specifies a mechanism for accessing a JDBC database
- * driver. When the class implementing this method is loaded, it should
- * register an instance of itself with the <code>DriverManager</code> in
- * a static initializer.
- * <p>
- * Because the <code>DriverManager</code> might attempt to use several
- * drivers to find one that can connect to the requested database,
- * this driver should not cause large numbers of classes and code to
- * be loaded. If another driver is the one that ends up performing the
- * request, any loading done by this driver would be wasted.
