public abstract boolean jdbcCompliant()
Description
Report whether the Driver is a genuine JDBC COMPLIANT (tm) driver.
A driver may only report "true" here if it passes the JDBC compliance
tests, otherwise it is required to return false.
JDBC compliance requires full support for the JDBC API and full support
for SQL 92 Entry Level. It is expected that JDBC compliant drivers will
be available for all the major commercial databases.
This method is not intended to encourage the development of non-JDBC
compliant drivers, but is a recognition of the fact that some vendors
are interested in using the JDBC API and framework for lightweight
databases that do not support full database functionality, or for
special databases such as document information retrieval where a SQL
implementation may not be feasible.
