Summary

Our driver architecture is composed of a high-level front-end interface that supports multiple technologies, including data access technology and provider-specific code. The front-end interface is implemented in two parts: a shared core implementation and a data source-specific implementation generated through automatic code generation. This allows us to support new editions or new technologies quickly and easily define standard configuration options or connection properties once and reuse them across many drivers. Additionally, our framework uses code generation at the front end, enabling us to build native drivers that function consistently across technologies with updates and improvements being supported across the board.
