DriverManager

Synopsis

The DriverManager class is responsible for loading JDBC drivers and creating Connection objects. It starts by loading all of the drivers specified in the jdbc.drivers system property. Individual drivers can also be loaded by calling Class.forName() with the driver class name.

Programs use the static DriverManager.getConnection() method to create individual database connections. The driver manager creates the Connection using the appropriate driver, based on the JDBC URL specified in the call to getConnection().
