Class.forName attempts to load the class whose name is
given in its only argument, and returns the Class instance
representing that class. In the
event that the Class could not be found, resolved, verified,
or loaded, Class.forName
throws one of several different Exceptions

which return java.lang.class object. n with the help of that object we establish the connection with database.

Answer / prashant
Class.forNmae first loads the class in current classLoader so as to use that in future. Internally DriverManager gets the reference of the driver by using dynamic laoding (nothing is magical) this is is the reason when you say manager.GetConnection() it returns connection using the loaded driver
