This function gets the driver name that is associated with the specified connection. Only a
JDBC connection has a driver name.
Arguments

■ The connName argument is a connection name that is specified in the Connection
Manager. It identifies the connection string that Dreamweaver should use to make a
database connection to a live data source.

For Dreamweaver UltraDev 4, the list of JDBC drivers are stored in the connections.xml
file, which is located in the Configuration/Connections folder. Each driver has an
associated URL template. This function returns the list of JDBC drivers.
