The reason for asking for an API is that, we use different drivers with different databases without actually knowing the type. And given a driver, how do we know what is its type ?
Well, it doesnt make a difference to the end result though as long as the JDBC API's are implemented by the driver.

There is the DatabaseMetaData interface; the Connection.getMetaData() method returns an object that implements this. It has methods such as getDriverName(), getDriverVersion().
