Important: If you are using Java SE 6 or later, you do not need to register the JDBC Client and can skip this step. Java SE 6 and later editions automatically register the driver with the JDBC Driver Manager.
Registering the JDBC Client tells the JDBC Driver Manager which driver to load. The JDBC Client is registered by using the Class.forName method and specifying the driver class name as the argument. The name of the JDBC driver is com.ddtek.jdbc.openaccess.OpenAccessDriver.
