Yeah, dba package contents (aka DB Adapters) are very much like
drivers. In fact users can write their own separate from Cayenne.
Still I see no point to split the adapters that *we* provide from
Cayenne runtime. Aside from some negligible savings in cayenne-
server.jar size, there's no benefit - it won't make Cayenne faster or
more memory efficient, and will complicate configuration for us and
for the users. Also it will break DB auto-detection feature (the auto
adapter).
