+ * The interface that every driver class must implement.
+ * <P>The Java SQL framework allows for multiple database drivers.
+ *
+ * <P>Each driver should supply a class that implements
+ * the Driver interface.
+ *
+ * <P>The DriverManager will try to load as many drivers as it can
+ * find and then for any given connection request, it will ask each
+ * driver in turn to try to connect to the target URL.
+ *
+ * <P>It is strongly recommended that each Driver class should be
+ * small and standalone so that the Driver class can be loaded and
+ * queried without bringing in vast quantities of supporting code.
+ *
+ * <P>When a Driver class is loaded, it should create an instance of
+ * itself and register it with the DriverManager. This means that a
+ * user can load and register a driver by calling:
+ * <p>
+ * {@code Class.forName("foo.bah.Driver")}
+ * <p>
+ * A JDBC driver may create a {@linkplain DriverAction} implementation in order
+ * to receive notifications when {@linkplain DriverManager#deregisterDriver} has
+ * been called.
+ * @see DriverManager
+ * @see Connection
+ * @see DriverAction
