Class DatabaseConnectorFactory

java.lang.Object
  net.sourceforge.jdbdump.connect.DatabaseConnectorFactory

public class DatabaseConnectorFactory
extends java.lang.Object

A DatabaseConnectorFactory is an object that lists all the database types that can be backed up and creates connectors to the specific database types. Connectors are the objects that extend the DatabaseConnector class and provide methods that enable you to create backup of a specific database. This class implements two design patterns: Factory and Singleton. Factory pattern makes it easy to produce the proper databse connector. Singleton pattern checks if there is only one instance of DatabaseConnectorFactory.
