+<h1>Specifying a JDBC Driver</h1>
+<p>QuantumDB uses standard JDBC Drivers to access databases. The first step in
+setting up a database bookmark is, therefore, selecting a JDBC Driver.</p>
+
+<img src="images/new_bookmark/page1.gif" />
+
+<p>The first time you try to configure a bookmark, QuantumDB will already recognize
+one driver: the standard JDBC-ODBC driver provided with the Java Runtime Environment.
+For some people, this will be sufficient to access databases, but most people will
+probably choose to set up additional drivers.
+
+<p>Select the "Add Driver..." button to choose an alternate driver.</p>
+
+<img src="images/new_bookmark/add_driver.gif" />
+
+<p>Provide the details for the new driver. Most drivers require at least one .jar file.
+Specify the location of the .jar file(s), and the driver class name. Note that once you
+specify the .jar locations, you can use the "Browse..." button beside the class name
+field to select valid driver class names.
+
+<p>Finally, the Add Driver Wizard asks for a database type. If you're setting up a fairly
+standard driver (such as, for example, the standard Oracle or DB2 driver), QuantumDB will
+probably recognize the driver class name and select the appropriate driver from the list.
+Otherwise, choose the corresponding database type or, if your database type isn't listed,
+select "Generic JDBC".
+
+<p>The database type helps QuantumDB provide defaults for later parts of the bookmark set-up
+process, and also tells the plugin how to support some of the non-standard database features
+(such as sequences).
