     Base class for all DBMS drivers (e.g., ODBC, Oracle, MySQL,
     PostgreSQL).

_O_b_j_e_c_t_s _f_r_o_m _t_h_e _C_l_a_s_s:

     A virtual Class: No objects may be created from it.

_E_x_t_e_n_d_s:

     Class '"DBIObject"', directly.

_G_e_n_e_r_a_t_o_r:

     The generator for classes that extend 'DBIDriver' is 'dbDriver'.

_M_e_t_h_o_d_s:

     The following methods are defined for classes that extend
     'DBIDriver':

     _d_b_U_n_l_o_a_d_D_r_i_v_e_r 'signature(drv = "DBIDriver")': ... 

     _d_b_C_o_n_n_e_c_t 'signature(drv = "DBIDriver")': ... 

     _d_b_G_e_t_I_n_f_o 'signature(dbObj = "DBIDriver")': ...

_A_u_t_h_o_r(_s):

     R-SIG-DB

_R_e_f_e_r_e_n_c_e_s:

     See the Database Interface definition document 'DBI.pdf' in the
     base directory of this package or <URL:
     http://developer.r-project.org/db>.

_S_e_e _A_l_s_o:

     DBI classes: 'DBIObject-class' 'DBIDriver-class'
     'DBIConnection-class' 'DBIResult-class'

     The function 'dbConnect' is the main generator.

     In addition see the help of the methods above.
