title: How to determine database type for a given JDBC connection?
body: <p>I need to handle resultsets returning stored procedures/functions for three databases (Oracle, sybase, MS-Server). The procedures/functions are generally the same but the call is a little different in Oracle.</p>
  
  <pre><code>statement.registerOutParameter(1, oracle.jdbc.OracleTypes.CURSOR);
  ...
  statement.execute(); 
  ResultSet rs = (ResultSet)statement.getObject(1);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>JDBC doesn't provide a generic way to handle this, so I'll need to distinguish the different types of DBs in my code.  I'm given the connection but don't know the best way to determine if the DB is oracle.  I can use the driver name but would rather find a cleaner way.</p>
