title: How does JDBC use abstract factory?
body: <p>I got an exam in two days and one of the questions is how JDBC uses the abstract factory. </p>
  
  <p>I myself am not so skilled with design patterns, so maybe somebody here has the answer.</p>
  
  <p>I was thinking that maybe, <code>DriverManager.getConnection(url)</code> is an example of abstract factory, but am not sure. Is it an abstract factory or is it a factory method?</p>
