<p>
When using a Microsoft SQL Server JDBC Driver v1.2 or earlier, the
ConnectionURL must always contain the <code class="literal">selectMethod=cursor
</code> string, which is necessary for the driver to properly
support large result sets.
</p>
</li><li class="listitem">
<p>
When using a Microsoft SQL Server JDBC Driver v1.2 or earlier, the
JDBC driver has bugs that manifest themselves when prepared statements
are pooled. Please disable prepared statement pooling by including the
<code class="literal">MaxCachedStatements=0</code> configuration property
in your org.apache.openjpa.ConnectionFactoryProperties.
</p>
</li><li class="listitem">
<p>
SQL Server date fields are accurate only to the nearest 3 milliseconds,
possibly resulting in precision loss in stored dates.
</p>
</li><li class="listitem">
<p>
Adding <code class="literal">sendStringParametersAsUnicode=false</code> to the
ConnectionURL may significantly increase performance.
</p>
</li><li class="listitem">
<p>
The Microsoft SQL Server driver only emulates batch updates. The DataDirect JDBC
driver has true support for batch updates, and may result in a significant
performance gain.
</p>
</li><li class="listitem">
<p>
Floats and doubles may lose precision when stored.
</p>
</li><li class="listitem">
<p>
<code class="literal">TEXT</code> columns cannot be used in queries.
</p>
</li><li class="listitem">
<p>
When using a SQL Server instance that has been configured to be case-sensitive
in schema names, you need to set the "schemaCase=preserve" parameter in the
<a class="link" href="ref_guide_conf_jdbc.html#openjpa.jdbc.DBDictionary" title="6.2.&nbsp; openjpa.jdbc.DBDictionary">openjpa.jdbc.DBDictionary</a>
property.
</p>
</li><li class="listitem">
<p>
SQL Server 2005 does not support native sequences. If you would like to use
generated values with SQL Server you should use GenerationType.IDENTITY,
GenerationType.TABLE, or GenerationType.AUTO.
</p>
</li><li class="listitem">
<p>
The use of <a class="link" href="ref_guide_mapping_jpa.html#ref_guide_streamsupport" title="7.11.&nbsp; LOB Streaming">LOB streaming</a> is limited.
When reading LOB data from the database, the Microsoft SQL Server driver will
actually load all the data into memory at the same time.
</p>
</li><li class="listitem">
<p>
The SQL Server 2008 DATETIME2 data type supports 7 digits sub-second precision.
When DataDirect JDBC driver is used with SQL Server 2008, setTimestamp method call with
a java.sql.Timestamp argument of more than 3 digits precision in a prepared statement
will result in truncation. This may cause loss of data precision or
optimistic lock exception if an entity uses Timestamp type as version field.
