    Usually, you don't deal with this loader directly. Instead it is registered for

    framework, dispatching URLs the loader is registered for.

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

        The loader should be registered for the URL scheme
        <b>

                    DataSourceBrowser
                </service>

            </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/>
