In this case, I would say use "driver" and reserve "type" for M$  
databases then.  1) less confusing for us app writers -- everything  
neatly matches the ADOdb specs 2) it can be documented and consistent  
-- thus easier -- for the admins.  If we say "only use Type if you're  
dealing with Microsoft databases" then it's documented and consistent.
