## Loading namespaces
You'll need to add one or more `load-namespace` steps to your driver manifest to tell Metabase which namespaces contain your driver method implementations. In the example above, the namespace is `metabase.driver.sqlite`. `load-namespace` calls `require` the [normal Clojure way, meaning it will load other namespaces listed in the `:require` section of its namespace declaration as needed. If your driver's method implementations are split across multiple namespaces, make sure they'll get loaded as well -- you can either have the main namespace handle this (e.g., by including them in the `:require` form in the namespace declaration) or by adding additional `load-namespace` steps.
