    <p>
    Usually, you don't deal with this loader directly. Instead it is registered for
    a particular URL scheme, and you use the dispatch mechanism provided by the application
    framework, dispatching URLs the loader is registered for.

        <p>
        Supporting this service ensures that you can plug any of the components
        the loader can create into an arbitrary frame.
        </p>

        The loader should be registered for the URL scheme
        <b>
        .component:DB/ *
        </b>
        , the concrete URLs supported are:
        <ul>
            <li><b>.component:DB/DataSourceBrowser</b><br/>
                Using this URL creates an instance of the
                <service scope="com::sun::star::sdb">
                    DataSourceBrowser
                </service>
                service and plugs it into the frame passed to the loader.
            </li>
            <li><b>.component:DB/FormGridView</b><br/>
                Using this URL creates an instance of the
                <service scope="com::sun::star::sdb">ExternalSourceBrowser</service>
                service and plugs it into the frame passed to the loader.
            </li>
            <li><b>.component:DB/QueryDesign</b><br/>
                Using this URL creates an instance of the
                <service scope="com::sun::star::sdb">QueryDesign</service>
                service and plugs it into the frame passed to the loader.
            </li>
            <li><b>.component:DB/TableDesign</b><br/>
                Using this URL creates an instance of the
                <service scope="com::sun::star::sdb">TableDesign</service>
                service and plugs it into the frame passed to the loader.
            </li>
            <li><b>.component:DB/RelationDesign</b><br/>
                Using this URL creates an instance of the
                <service scope="com::sun::star::sdb">RelationDesign</service>
                service and plugs it into the frame passed to the loader.
