public interface IDBAdapterID
Identifies a database adapter by its database-system name and development version.

Names are matched case-insensitively. Versions are interpreted as dot-separated numeric components, so that, for example, 8, 8.0, and 8.0.0 denote the same logical version. Implementations must therefore expose stable name and version values for the lifetime of the identified adapter.

This interface intentionally does not extend Comparable. Consumers that need a canonical, sortable value can use the registry's sorted result methods or the framework's internal ID implementation.

      the adapter name

      String getVersion()
