ZEOS retieve standard library names

Hi,

I have used ZEOS for years without giving it much thought after the
connection to the DB was and is always stable.

With my new database access framework, which I deliberately focused on
SQLDB, the process of DB connection was made much more comprehensive
and user friendly.

Now I want to adapt the framework also to ZEOS and fail at the moment
because I can't get the default names of the respective access
libraries (defined by the protocol name). SQLdb can do this with
GetStandardLibraryName(ConnectorType) -- I am looking for something
similar with ZEOS.

The example project ZControlsExample shows that there must be
something similar to the SQLConnector in SQLdb, because only by
entering the protocol a connection was possible.

The TZConnection of ZEOS is only a wrapper for TZAbstractConnection
but I couldn't figure out how and where to decide which library to
use.

Could someone please put me on the right track?

THX
