Find the difference between loading and registering the drivers..

Essentially, for the purpose for which you use them, there is no difference. You are simply getting the class loaded, so that subsequent attempts to get a Connection from the DriverManager will work.

Edit:

And please don't double post, or in this case Triple post:

You load a class - it isn't specific to a driver.

That is part of java - not JDBC.

Normally JDBC drivers register themselves when the class is loaded. This is specific to the driver and has nothing to do with a user of the driver. It is only a concern to someone who must implement a driver.
