            }
            result.addElement(di.driver);
        }
        return (result.elements());
}

Retrieves an Enumeration with all of the currently loaded JDBC drivers to which the current caller has access.

Note: The classname of a driver can be found using d.getClass().getName()

 public static PrintStream getLogStream() 
{
        return logStream;
}

Retrieves the logging/tracing PrintStream that is used by the DriverManager and all drivers.

 public static PrintWriter getLogWriter() 
{
            return logWriter;
}

Retrieves the log writer. The getLogWriter and setLogWriter methods should be used instead of the get/setlogStream methods, which are deprecated.

 public static int getLoginTimeout() 
{
        return (loginTimeout);
}

Gets the maximum time in seconds that a driver can wait when attempting to log in to a database.

 static  void initialize() 
{
        if (initialized) {
            return;
        }
        initialized = true;
        loadInitialDrivers();
        println("JDBC DriverManager initialized");
}

 public static  void println(String message) 
{
        synchronized (logSync) {
            if (logWriter != null) {
                logWriter.println(message);
                // automatic flushing is never enabled, so we must do it ourselves
                logWriter.flush();
            }
        }
}

Prints a message to the current JDBC log stream.

 public static synchronized  void registerDriver(Driver driver) throws SQLException 
{
        if (!initialized) {
            initialize();
        }
        DriverInfo di = new DriverInfo();
        di.driver = driver;
        di.driverClass = driver.getClass();
        di.driverClassName = di.driverClass.getName();
        // Not Required -- drivers.addElement(di);
        writeDrivers.addElement(di);
        println("registerDriver: " + di);
        /* update the read copy of drivers vector */
        readDrivers = (java.util.Vector) writeDrivers.clone();
}

Registers the given driver with the DriverManager. A newly-loaded driver class should call the method registerDriver to make itself known to the DriverManager.

 public static  void setLogStream(PrintStream out) 
{
        SecurityManager sec = System.getSecurityManager();
        if (sec != null) {
            sec.checkPermission(SET_LOG_PERMISSION);
        }
        logStream = out;
        if ( out != null )
            logWriter = new java.io.PrintWriter(out);
        else
            logWriter = null;
}

Sets the logging/tracing PrintStream that is used by the DriverManager and all drivers.

In the Java 2 SDK, Standard Edition, version 1.3 release, this method checks to see that there is an SQLPermission object before setting the logging stream. If a SecurityManager exists and its checkPermission method denies setting the log writer, this method throws a java.lang.SecurityException.

 public static  void setLogWriter(PrintWriter out) 
{
        SecurityManager sec = System.getSecurityManager();
        if (sec != null) {
            sec.checkPermission(SET_LOG_PERMISSION);
        }
            logStream = null;
            logWriter = out;
}

Sets the logging/tracing PrintWriter object that is used by the DriverManager and all drivers.

There is a minor versioning problem created by the introduction of the method setLogWriter. The method setLogWriter cannot create a PrintStream object that will be returned by getLogStream---the Java platform does not provide a backward conversion. As a result, a new application that uses setLogWriter and also uses a JDBC 1.0 driver that uses getLogStream will likely not see debugging information written by that driver.

Starting with the Java 2 SDK, Standard Edition, version 1.3 release, this method checks to see that there is an SQLPermission object before setting the logging stream. If a SecurityManager exists and its checkPermission method denies setting the log writer, this method throws a java.lang.SecurityException.

 public static  void setLoginTimeout(int seconds) 
{
        loginTimeout = seconds;
}

Sets the maximum time in seconds that a driver will wait while attempting to connect to a database.
