      public static GDSType getType(String type)
      Factory method for instances of this class. There's only three possible instances of this class, however linking to them directly is not always possible and desirable (for example when type is specified in configuration). This method gives the possibility to translate string representation of the type into correct type instance.
      Parameters:
      type - string representation of the type to match (matching is case-insensitive). Possible values are:
      • "PURE_JAVA" or "TYPE4" for pure Java (type 4) driver version;
      • "NATIVE" or "TYPE2" for type 2 JDBC driver that will use Firebird client library to access the database using JNI link.
      • "EMBEDDED" for type 2 JDBC driver that will use embedded version of the server to perform database-related operations.
      Returns:
      instance of GDSType corresponding to the specified string representation or null if no match could be found.
