Ah, I see. The driver name is basically "lib" . "dbd" . "$dbserver" in Perl
speak. The "dbd" is used to distinguish the driver from the database engine
client library which may happen to use a similar name. Having two libraries
with the same name results in packaging problems even if the libraries are to
be installed in different directories. E.g. the SQLite client library is called
libsqlite, therefore we call the driver libdbdsqlite. SQLite version 3 uses a
different client library libsqlite3, hence our driver is libdbdsqlite3.
Currently there is no policy in place how to name two different drivers for the
same database engine client library as we didn't run into this problem yet.
regards,
Markus
