Supported JDBC drivers
Every database vendor has its own list of available JDBC drivers. To use an unsupported JDBC driver, in the New Database Connection wizard or the Database Connection page of another wizard, select the appropriate database vendor, and then select Other Driver from the JDBC driver pull-down list. To connect by using this option, enter the name of the JDBC driver class, the location of the class, and the correct form of the connection URL. Because unsupported drivers are not tested, they are not recommended.
