  Key Concepts: 
  A driver is a component of the SAP Application Platform (AP) that provides a connection between the application and the underlying database. It is responsible for translating the application's requests into commands that can be understood by the database, and for translating the results of those commands back into a format that can be used by the application. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The driver is used to establish a connection between the application and the database. This connection allows the application to send requests to the database, and for the database to respond with results. The driver is responsible for translating these requests and results into a format that can be understood by both the application and the database. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up a connection between an application and a database, it is important to ensure that the correct driver is being used. Different databases require different drivers, so it is important to make sure that the correct driver is being used for each connection.
