Class DatabasePlatforms

java.lang.Object
  org.kuali.rice.krad.data.platform.DatabasePlatforms

public final class DatabasePlatforms
extends Object

Contains constants and utilities related to the supported database platforms.

We use a String to represent the platform name as opposed to an Enum because this allows for the potential to configure and use custom platforms at runtime without requiring internal code modification to support a new platform.
