//! Generic database abstraction.
/*! This class is a prototype of the database driver for implementations.
 Driver allows new connections to be created, and groups
 these as a parent. 
 Before destruction, all connections are destructed.

 Notes:
  - driver must be provided within KDE module file named with "kexidb_" prefix
  - following line should be placed in driver's implementation:
    \code
    KEXIDB_DRIVER_INFO( CLASS_NAME, INTERNAL_NAME );
    \endcode
    where:
    - CLASS_NAME is actual driver's class name, e.g. MySqlDriver
    - INTERNAL_NAME is driver name's most significant part (without quotation marks), e.g. mysql
    Above information uses K_EXPORT_COMPONENT_FACTORY macro for TDETrader to find the module's entry point.
    For example, this line declares kexidb_mysqldriver.so module's entry point:
    \code
    KEXIDB_DRIVER_INFO( MySqlDriver, mysql );
    \endcode
