Description

I had a situation where the DriverManager was unable to properly load the jdbc driver (Oracle) via url resolution alone. The DriverManager doesnt' currently allow you to explicitly specify the the driver. I resolved my situation by creating my own that accepts a driver parameter, but it seems like this should be added to the core
