    It may be implemented by a database driver provider, to encapsulate the
    complexity of data definition, and to give a common way for data definition as
    the DDL of most DBMS differs.

    At least, the access to the tables of a database should be implemented.
    The implementation of other known database objects like views is optional.

    To control the access rights of users, there is the possibility to
    implement objects like users and groups.
