|  | The JPA standard defines how to access JDBC connections from enterprise beans. | 
|  | OpenJPA also provides APIs to retrieve a connection directly from the <code class="classname"> | 
|  | EntityManagerFactory</code>'s <code class="classname">DataSource</code>. | 
|  | </p> | 
|  | <p> | 
|  | The <code class="methodname">EntityManager.unwrap(java.sql.Connection.class)</code> method | 
|  | returns an <code class="classname">EntityManager</code>'s connection. If the <code class="classname"> | 
|  | EntityManager</code> does not already have a connection, it will obtain | 
|  | one. The returned connection is only guaranteed to be transactionally consistent | 
|  | with other <code class="classname">EntityManager</code> operations if the <code class="classname"> | 
|  | EntityManager</code> is in a managed or non-optimistic transaction, if the | 
|  | <code class="classname">EntityManager</code> has flushed in the current transaction, or | 
|  | if you have used the <code class="methodname">OpenJPAEntityManager.beginStore</code> | 
|  | method to ensure that a datastore transaction is in progress. Always close the | 
|  | returned connection before attempting any other <code class="classname">EntityManager | 
|  | </code> operations. OpenJPA will ensure that the underlying native | 
|  | connection is not released if a datastore transaction is in progress. |
