(3 secs) This is a simplified version of the adapter_class method.
It just takes the adapter scheme given and requires the appropriate adapter file.
In each adapter file, the adapter registers the adapter's database subclass in the ADAPTER_MAP.
Then the adapter class is just looked up in the ADAPTER_MAP and returned.
