We currently don't have an infrastructure for per-driver properties, but one for per-data-source properties. Also, at runtime you usually have a connection only. There's an established way to retrieve the data source which created a connection (by definition, and as documented in the css.sdb.Connection service, the data source is the connection's parent), but no way to retrieve the driver which created the connection. Both isn't really a conceptual hurdle, we could invent something here. However, the "data source property" concept already exists ... On a medium term, I'd like to rewrite the way drivers are handled. This would help us to get rid of the mess in dbaccess with a lot of hard-coded information about different database/drivers, and also give 3rd party components (as yours) more control over how they're used in OOo. This could include, for instance, defaults for per-data-source settings which are defined by the driver ...
