The Driver.conect method does use the StandAloneConnectionManager to get
its connection. However, it creates a FBManagedConnectionFactory and
FBStandAloneConnectionManager for each connection you ask for. Therefore,
using a FBDataSource obtained from a explicitly created
FBManagedConnectionFactory is considerably more efficient if you need more
than one connection in your app. It also provides the opportunity to use a
different ConnectionManager that supports e.g. pooling.
