-===== Description =====
-The ''csv'' driver allows a CSV file to be read across an http connection and treated like a database table.
-  * The only parameter passed in the connect statement is the url of the file
-  * https connections are currently not supported.
-  * In order to write back data, the file/directory must be writable by the Identity that the web server runs as. This may be a problem in IIS, creating an AppPool specifically for the process may provide a possible solution.
-  * Some methods are not supported
-===== Specification =====
-|Driver|csv|
-|Status|Inactive|
-|Supported OS|Windows/Unix|
+===== Description =====
+The ''proxy'' driver is the client-side driver used by the  [[v5:proxy:proxy_index|ADOdb Proxy Server]]. Prior to ADOdb version 5.21, the ''csv'' and ''proxy'' drivers could be used interchangeably, but since 5.21, enhancements and fixes are only applied to the ''proxy'' driver, and only that one should be used.
+--------------------------------------------------
 ===== Usage =====
 <code php>
-$db = newAdoConnection('csv');
+$db = newAdoConnection('proxy');
-$db->connect('http://127.0.0.1/files/file.csv');
+$db->connect('http://127.0.0.1/files/server.php');
