Foil 7 Driver Manager

From Overview of JDBC and its use with Microsoft Access ARL Database Tutorial -- February 98. by Nancy McCracken(Sangetta Aggarwal, Udayan Parvate, Tom Pulikal)
The DriverManager class keeps track of the drivers that are available and handles establishing a connection between a driver and a particular database.
User loads the Driver explicitly Class.forName("acme.db.Driver"); This loads the driver class, which should itself call DriverManager.registerDriver with its instance and thus be available for a creating a connection.
