The interfaces in java.sql.* are implemented by the provider of the JDBC driver (which
need not be the database vendor). The provider may be Sun ... see below. The provider of
the JDBC driver may also subclass certain classes in java.sql.*.

It also provides the interfaces in java.sql.* but with no implementation.

sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver and associated implementation of java.sql.* interfaces are
provided by Sun with the SDK. Microsoft and others also provide JDBC/ODBC drivers.

Often, providers of JDBC drivers will not supply Javadocs for their drivers, depending
on the Javadocs for java.sql.* for primary information. They generally provide
non-Javadoc documentation describing features supported and formats for connection
properties including the connection URL.
