DriverManager class

[MaheshS Kumbhar]

I referred one URL http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/jdbc/getstart/drivermanager.html#999674

In this, I read that DriverManager class handles establishing connection between a database and appropriate driver.
But what my intuition is, the connection is established between an application and database.

Correct me if I am wrong.

the connection is established between an application and database

Indeed. But by using the DriverClass, and othe jdbc classes, as the connection mechanism.

Your application asks the DriverClass to connect to the database.
The DriverClass establishes the connection to the database.
Your application uses that connection.
