Re: Private Driver and getColumns

[Tobias Downer <toby@xxxxxxxxx>]

I just looked at the JDBC spec.  I think you may be right here (the spec
is a little vague), but I think it reads that you should be able to use
an instance of the class returned as the JDBC Driver.  The part of the
spec about registering a driver is at
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/guide/jdbc/spec/jdbc-spec.frame6.html. 
I'll change it for the next release so the 'com.mckoi.JDBCDriver' class
extends 'com.mckoi.database.jdbc.MDriver' and has a public constructor.

I do think that instantiating Connection instances via the static
DriverManager methods is a more flexible way of handling multiple
drivers from different database vendors however.

I'll put it at the top of my list.  Next release will be some time this
month.  Sorry about being vague but I have other projects that are
taking priority.
