/**
* An interface that must be implemented when a {@linkplain Driver} wants to be
* notified by {@code DriverManager}.
*<P>
* A {@code DriverAction} implementation is not intended to be used
* directly by applications. A JDBC Driver may choose
* to create its {@code DriverAction} implementation in a private class
* to avoid it being called directly.
* <p>
* The JDBC driver's static initialization block must call
* {@linkplain DriverManager#registerDriver(java.sql.Driver, java.sql.DriverAction) } in order
* to inform {@code DriverManager} which {@code DriverAction} implementation to
* call when the JDBC driver is de-registered.
* @since 1.8
public interface DriverAction {
* Method called by
* {@linkplain DriverManager#deregisterDriver(Driver) }
* to notify the JDBC driver that it was de-registered.
* The {@code deregister} method is intended only to be used by JDBC Drivers
* and not by applications. JDBC drivers are recommended to not implement
* {@code DriverAction} in a public class. If there are active
* connections to the database at the time that the {@code deregister}
* method is called, it is implementation specific as to whether the
* connections are closed or allowed to continue. Once this method is
* called, it is implementation specific as to whether the driver may
* limit the ability to create new connections to the database, invoke
* other {@code Driver} methods or throw a {@code SQLException}.
* Consult your JDBC driver's documentation for additional information
* on its behavior.
* @see DriverManager#registerDriver(java.sql.Driver, java.sql.DriverAction)
