Hi,

I am creating an application comparable to the Borland SQL Explorer, but 
using ADO. The user can add a server by creating a connectionstring. I 
would like to know however which type of database i am connecting to. For 
example MS SQL Server, MySQL, Informix,... Depending on this, I can add 
functionality that is only available for that DBMS.
Is there a way to retrieve this information?

regards,

Koen
