add support for additional DB drivers

we would like to have support for additional db drives in "run SQL scripts" module of IBM i Client Access solutions
the support could be added by either referring to system installed DB drivers (like the old method used in IBM i Access for Windows by referring back to ODBC database administration) or ship drivers within package

I personally would prefer the first solution.


Use Case:

We could use IBM i Client Access solutions's Run SQL Scripts capability to maintain all our databases in one place.
