Description Andrei Badea 2006-11-28 17:23:45 UTC

Currently there is no easy way to get the JDBCDriver instance that a
DatabaseConnection will use / used to connect to a database. A
DatabaseConnection.getJDBCDriver() method should be added.

Will be used by the deployment of JDBC drivers to the application server.

Comment 1 John Baker 2007-03-29 01:15:53 UTC

I heard a workaround was determined and so adding getJDBCDriver() is no longer
needed.   This issue will be closed.  If the method is still needed then this
issue can be reopened

Comment 2 Jan Stola 2007-03-29 10:54:09 UTC

Reopening - I am not sure what workaround has jbaker in mind. If it was 
something like
JDBCDriverManager.getDefault().getDrivers(connection.getDriverClass())[0]
then this workaround existed at the time this issue was filled and therefore 
changes nothing on its status. It still would be nice to have a clean way to 
obtain the driver from the connection.

I am changing this to a P3 defect, as it blocks another P3 defect (issue 119644). It would be great to have this
implemented for 6.7. Thanks.
