Connecting to content store directly - How does Cognos Config do it?

[bpetty]

I have a utility that we package with Cognos and I need to add the ability for it to connect to the Content Store directly to execute a SQL statement before it logs in via the SDK.  I think Cognos Config is using JDBC to connect to the content store but I don't see any JDBC drivers anywhere.  Does anyone know what it uses to make a content store connection?  I am trying to avoid packaging proprietary drivers and am hoping to simply reuse what CC is already using.

Thanks!

Update: Accidentally said "Cognos Connection" instead of "Cognos Config".
