I'm developing a java program using jdbc, this program is supposed to be able to connect to any kind of database using its url, username, and password. What I did already, is to make it connect to oracle databse using the url: jdbc:oracle:thin:@oracle.cs.purdue.edu:1521:orb and for driver registration I used:
DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());
 
What I'm asking about is, how to get the suitable driver for a certain database using its url, & how can I register it so I can connect to the database?
 
I used this line:
 
Driver d = DriverManager.getDrivers("jdbc:oracle:thin:@oracle.cs.purdue.edu:1521:orb");
 
it returns a driver, which appears -when u print it- as:      oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver@20dcd9
while the line:
System.out.println(new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());
prints:        oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver@5f5897
 
but when I try to register the Driver d, the connection failed, cause of no suitable driver...
 
can you help me with that?
