+/**
+ * The base implementation for Drush database connections.
+ *
+ * MySql, PostgreSql and SQLite implementations are provided by Drush.
+ * Contrib and custom database drivers can provide their own implementation by
+ * extending from this class, and naming the class like 'SqlMydriver'. Note that
+ * the camelcasing is required, as well as it is mandatory that the namespace of
+ * the extending class be 'Drush\Sql'. In order to avoid autoloadier
+ * collisions, it is recommended to place the class outside of the 'src'
+ * directory of the module providing the database driver, then adding a
+ * 'classmap' entry to the autoload class of the module's composer.json file.
+ *
+ * For example, supposing the SqlMydriver class is located in a 'drush'
+ * module subdirectory:
+ * @code
+ *   "autoload": {
+ *     "classmap": ["drush/SqlMydriver.php"]
+ *   },
+ * @endcode
