A Builder is an object which assembles a number of other objects (such as GUI widgets) in a way
determined by the data provided to it, to form one bigger object (such as a panel or a window in GUI).
In our project, we can say that the DatabaseConnection class is a Builder, because it builds a Dump
object out of many objects like Table or Column, in various ways depending on the type of the database
it connects to.
