public interface IDriver

A connection factory interface used to produce an IConnection object.

Method Summary

IConnection	getConnection(java.lang.String dataSourceId) Deprecated. Returns an IConnection object that can then be used to establish a runtime connection to the underlying data source with the given unique id.
int	getMaxConnections() Deprecated. Returns the maximum number of concurrent connections that the driver can support.
void	setLogConfiguration(LogConfiguration logConfig) Deprecated. An optional method to set the trace logging configuration of the ODA runtime driver for the given type of data source and its runtime connection(s).
