Data plugins get loaded by the default_db_driver() method usually. This method loads the driver specified in the App.conf file with a line like so: dbHandler=default This driver will be used when new_db_conn() gets called. This can help you make sure all your plugins use the same db driver automatically. Feel free to not use it though. In the future this class of plugins will be imbued with a great deal more functionality.
