A little explaination woud be very helpfull </Sanjay>
Sanjay,Drivers can be classified in to four basic types and their usage depends on the Applications constraints.
1) Type 1 : JDC-ODBC Bridge Drivers
2) Type 2 : Partly Java part Native Drivers
3) Type 3: Intermediate database access server drivers
4) Type 4: Pure Java Drivers.
Usage of the Drivers depends on your application
but I have encountered most of the app. easily do away with Type 4 -Pure Java Drivers as they are the most efficient type with least system overhead
e.g Oracle thin Drivers.
However certain App. Servers like weblogic use Type 3 Drivers thus relieving the clients of loading,configuring the drivers.
I Hope that answers your question.
It would be better ,If you look around the net for resources.
