For me it is very confusing...
I believe the statement of the question should indicate the JDBC version used.
> In case it is 4.0 and above I consider it should be an answer that no additional actions need to be performed in order to get the driver loaded, because it was already loaded at initialization:
> In case the JDBC version is below 4.0, the second answer should be the correct oneWhen the method getConnection is called, the DriverManager will attempt to locate a suitable driver from amongst those loaded at initialization...
