The SqlManager provides a means to retrieve a connection to the database.

All implementations of OsidManager (manager) provide methods for accessing and manipulating the various objects defined in the OSID package. A manager defines an implementation of an OSID. All other OSID objects come either directly or indirectly from the manager. New instances of the OSID objects are created either directly or indirectly by the manager. Because the OSID objects are defined using interfaces, create methods must be used instead of the new operator to create instances of the OSID objects. Create methods are used both to instantiate and persist OSID objects. Using the OsidManager class to define an OSID's implementation allows the application to change OSID implementations by changing the OsidManager package name used to load an implementation. Applications developed using managers permit OSID implementation substitution without changing the application source code. As with all managers, use the OsidLoader to load an implementation of this interface.
