jdbc.sgml:Class.forName() method. For
<application>Postgres</application>, you would use:
jdbc.sgml:Class.forName("postgresql.Driver");
And from the generated html:
<snip>
In the first method, your code implicitly loads the driver using the
Class.forName() method. For Postgres, you would use:
Class.forName("postgresql.Driver");

Not sure if it could be mentioned somewhere else? Or maybe we can make
