Hi.

Have you considered allowing 1 SimpleORM driver to handle multiple JDBC
drivers? Instead of using driverName and comparing the returned string to
choose a SimpleORM driver, you could pass the actual driver name into a
boolean method of an SDriver subclass and let the driver itself decide
whether it's a match. For example, I'm working with an embedded Derby
database and the driver name is "Apache Derby Embedded JDBC Driver" but the
driver name for the network client would be "Apache Derby Network Client
JDBC Driver". The same SimpleORM driver would probably work for both.

Just curious,
