| <p>The IDE will search the archive files that you selected in the previous step and find all classes that implement the JDBC API Driver interface (<code dir="ltr">java.sql.Driver</code>). <b>Driver Class</b> lists the classes that the IDE finds. Use the list to select the driver class that you need.</p> |
| <p><b>Notes:</b></p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Adding a new driver only creates a template for new connections. The IDE does not actually try to use that driver or check it to ensure it is correct until a connection is made.</li> |
| <li> |
| <p>You can add the driver directly at the first step when setting up a connection and skip the New Driver dialog box. |
