+<hr><a name="details"></a><h2>Detailed Description</h2>
+
+
+The QSqlDriver class is an abstract base class for accessing
+SQL databases.
+<p>
+
+<p> This class should not be used directly. Use <a href="qsqldatabase.html">QSqlDatabase</a> instead.
+<p>See also <a href="database.html">Database Classes</a>.
+
+<hr><h2>Member Type Documentation</h2>
+<h3 class=fn><a name="DriverFeature-enum"></a>QSqlDriver::DriverFeature</h3>
+
+<p> This enum contains a list of features a driver may support. Use
+<a href="#hasFeature">hasFeature</a>() to query whether a feature is supported or not.
+<ul>
+<li><tt>QSqlDriver::Transactions</tt> - whether the driver supports SQL transactions
+<li><tt>QSqlDriver::QuerySize</tt> - whether the database is capable of reporting the size
+of a query. Note that some databases do not support returning the size
+(i.e. number of rows returned) of a query, in which case
+<a href="qsqlquery.html#size">QSqlQuery::size</a>() will return -1
+<li><tt>QSqlDriver::BLOB</tt> - whether the driver supports Binary Large Object fields
+<li><tt>QSqlDriver::Unicode</tt> - whether the driver supports Unicode strings if the
+database server does
+<li><tt>QSqlDriver::PreparedQueries</tt> - whether the driver supports prepared query execution
+<li><tt>QSqlDriver::NamedPlaceholders</tt> - whether the driver supports usage of named placeholders
+<li><tt>QSqlDriver::PositionalPlaceholders</tt> - whether the driver supports usage of positional placeholders
+</ul><p> More information about supported features can be found in the
+<a href="sql-driver.html">Qt SQL driver</a> documentation.
+<p> <p>See also <a href="#hasFeature">hasFeature</a>().

+<h3 class=fn><a name="QSqlDriver"></a>QSqlDriver::QSqlDriver ( <a href="qobject.html">QObject</a>&nbsp;*&nbsp;parent = 0, const&nbsp;char&nbsp;*&nbsp;name = 0 )
+</h3>
+Default constructor. Creates a new driver with parent <em>parent</em>,
+called <em>name</em>.
+<p>
+<h3 class=fn><a name="~QSqlDriver"></a>QSqlDriver::~QSqlDriver ()
+</h3>
+Destroys the object and frees any allocated resources.
+
+<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="beginTransaction"></a>QSqlDriver::beginTransaction ()<tt> [virtual]</tt>
+</h3>
+Protected function which derived classes can reimplement to begin
+a transaction. If successful, return TRUE, otherwise return FALSE.
+The default implementation returns FALSE.
+<p> <p>See also <a href="#commitTransaction">commitTransaction</a>() and <a href="#rollbackTransaction">rollbackTransaction</a>().
+
+<h3 class=fn>void <a name="close"></a>QSqlDriver::close ()<tt> [pure virtual]</tt>
+</h3>
+
+<p> Derived classes must reimplement this abstract virtual function in
+order to close the database connection. Return TRUE on success,
+FALSE on failure.
+<p> <p>See also <a href="#setOpen">setOpen</a>().
+
+<p>
+<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="commitTransaction"></a>QSqlDriver::commitTransaction ()<tt> [virtual]</tt>
+</h3>
+Protected function which derived classes can reimplement to commit
+a transaction. If successful, return TRUE, otherwise return FALSE.
+The default implementation returns FALSE.
+<p> <p>See also <a href="#beginTransaction">beginTransaction</a>() and <a href="#rollbackTransaction">rollbackTransaction</a>().
+
+<h3 class=fn><a href="qsqlquery.html">QSqlQuery</a> <a name="createQuery"></a>QSqlDriver::createQuery () const<tt> [pure virtual]</tt>
+</h3>
+
+<p> Creates an empty SQL result on the database. Derived classes must
+reimplement this function and return a <a href="qsqlquery.html">QSqlQuery</a> object
+appropriate for their database to the caller.
+<p>
+<h3 class=fn><a href="qstring.html">QString</a> <a name="formatValue"></a>QSqlDriver::formatValue ( const&nbsp;<a href="qsqlfield.html">QSqlField</a>&nbsp;*&nbsp;field, bool&nbsp;trimStrings = FALSE ) const<tt> [virtual]</tt>
+</h3>
+Returns a string representation of the <em>field</em> value for the
+database. This is used, for example, when constructing INSERT and
+UPDATE statements.
+<p> The default implementation returns the value formatted as a string
+according to the following rules:
+<p> <ul>
+<p> <li> If <em>field</em> is NULL, <a href="#nullText">nullText</a>() is returned.
+<p> <li> If <em>field</em> is character data, the value is returned enclosed
+in single quotation marks, which is appropriate for many SQL
+databases. Any embedded single-quote characters are escaped
+(replaced with two single-quote characters). If <em>trimStrings</em> is
+TRUE (the default is FALSE), all trailing whitespace is trimmed
+from the field.
+<p> <li> If <em>field</em> is date/time data, the value is formatted in ISO
+format and enclosed in single quotation marks. If the date/time
+data is invalid, nullText() is returned.
+<p> <li> If <em>field</em> is bytearray data, and the driver can edit binary
+fields, the value is formatted as a hexadecimal string.
+<p> <li> For any other field type toString() will be called on its value
+and the result returned.
+<p> </ul>

+determined.
