I think that the best way is to create simple Maven module by following
cocoon-databases-hsqldb-client module as an example. In short this module
should contain:
a) property file similar to the
src/main/resources/META-INF/cocoon/properties/cocoon-databases-hsqldb-client.properties
that will
tell Cocoon to load jdbc driver
b) dependency on the driver of your choice, in pom.xml you can see:
<dependency>
<groupId>hsqldb</groupId>
<artifactId>hsqldb</artifactId>
</dependency>
You should search Maven repository for driver for your database and add
necessary dependency and
that's all. It will be added automatically to the classpath. If you need a
driver that is not
uploaded on Maven's repository you can install it by hand in your local Maven
repository, see [1].
Of course, you don't need to create separate module and you can put everything
to the block you are
developing. It's your choice if you want clear separation or not.
Last note: Instead of installing of jdbc driver you could just put it into
WEB-INF/lib of your
webapp module (created from webapp archetype). Be warned that I haven't tried
this method so I have
no idea if it's going to work.

Certainly new users are wanted and I agree with you that some document for
newbies is needed.
Anyway, it's always that someone has to write it. As you already gathering all
needed knowledge
could you try to write such document? I (and others) would be very grateful!
