Thanks for sharing, this is great insight! Yes, DB drivers have been around forever, it was interesting that I couldn't find much new info on them so it seemed like a good opening to write about it. :)
Though they're old, there are still plenty of applications that use database drivers today. I do agree that the paradigm has been shifting away in modern application development, but that's not true of all types of applications. For example, BI tools still rely on database drivers as their primary method of interacting with databases of all types ranging from Oracle to MongoDB.
