  \brief Closedown the driver, and free the driver structure

  <b>Note:</b> the management of the memory for the driver structure
  probably should be handled differently.
 
  db_start_driver() could take a pointer to driver structure as an
  argument, instead of returning the pointer to allocated then there
  would be no hidden free required

  \param driver pointer to dbDriver to be freed

  \return 0 on success
  \return -1 on error
