TDADriverManager

Overview

The TDADriverManager component manages the database drivers available in a server application, whether they are statically linked in or dynamically loaded from .dad files.

Every server application must contain one (and not more than one) TDADriverManager instance, and it must be referenced from the TDAConnectionManager DriverManager property.
