1) I am more used to a "driver-behind-connection" way of database interfaces. For example, such interfaces like ODBC, ADO, or even QT, do not work with actual connections, but delegate all work to some driver. Application programmer will use some kind of universal connection object. The actual driver is selected in run-time by supplying this universal object with driver's name right before the establishing the actual connection.
What I see in U++ so far is that relationship between the universal connection object and the driver is reversed. To create a connection to database XYZ I have to make an offspring of SqlSession class and use it for actual connection object. That means I have to know in the design-time what kind of database I will use...
Am I correct so far?

2) Why PostgreSQL, Oracle and other packages are located in the root of uppsrc, but sqlite3 package is in the plugin subfolder? Should not they be in some common uppsrc/plugin/db/ subfolder?

3) Did anyone worked with Open Client 15?
