Creates a database connection to the specified database. Note, this
node does only open the connection to read the meta information, but
does not read any data at this point.

the KNIME preference page (section Database Driver). By default, the
sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver (Windows and Linux) is only available.
