Getting the Driver of a Connection
Given a connection, it is not possible to determine the driver that
created the connection. Although the connection can return a
driver name, the returned name cannot be used to find the driver.
For example,
The best you can do is to use the URL used to create the connection:
try {
DatabaseMetaData dmd = connection.getMetaData();
String driverName = dmd.getDriverName(); // Mark Matthew's MySQL Driver
} catch (SQLException e) {
}
try {
// Create connection from URL
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url, username, password);
// Get driver from URL
Driver driver = DriverManager.getDriver(url);
} catch (SQLException e) {
}
