determining database manager type from z database connection?
Is there a generic way to determine what 'brand' of database manager a Zope database connection is connected to by interrogating the connection object? I couldn't see anything in the source and I also walked a connection object using the debugger and couldn't locate any non-specific way to determine this, outside of triggering an exception and observing the exception contents...

If you are connectet to a PostgreSQL DB using ZPyGreSQLDA you get 'PyGreSQL'. Using ZPoPyDA it returns 'PoPy'. That's not exactly what you are looking for but I hope it helps.
