It will. But you may write a database program that does not care on the 
database backend (for example, the database manager). The gb.db component can 
automatically loads gb.db.* driver at first use, if they are present of 
course.

But if you are sure which gb.db.* driver you need, you can check it in the 
project property dialog, so that you have the dependency.
