What is database driver?
First of all have to know about database and programming language.
When we want to develop any application or any software then we have to construct by coding with any kind of programming language based on requirements dependency. At the time of developing any dynamic application we have to work with different data which stored in database.
So the thing is we need programming language and database. From the base concept these two are different thing. But we have deal with these together.
From a programming language to accessing database we need a communication layer and the communication layer is known as database driver.
There are different driver for different database. And there are different mechanism to establish communication through driver.
As example PHP is a programming language which have it's own method mysqli_connect() to connect mysql database.
PDO(PHP DATA OBJECT) is an another mechanism which can establish connection with different types of database through driver.
