JNetDirect has dramatically extended the capabilities of its JSQLConnect database driver for Microsoft SQL Server.  These new features allow you to enhance you application's ability to leverage additional security, performance and distributed transaction facilities within Microsoft SQL Server and your application server.  These facilities include firewall tunneling, trusted authentication, pre-verified connection pools and distributed transactions with the Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator.


JSQLConnect can use integrated Windows Authentication mode to connect through a Microsoft Windows Windows 2000 or NT 4.0 user account.  Provides increased security via your Windows domain controller.  Avoids configuring and using additional user names and passwords and exposing them in configuration files.   


JSQLConnect managed connection pools pre-verify each logical connection issued to your application.  Pre-verification means that connection pool remains valid after a database restart since stale connections are removed from the connection pool.  

JSQLConnect provides seamless integration with Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator.  DTC uses proven transaction processing technology from Microsoft to support XA features such as the complete two-phase distributed commit protocol and the recovery of distributed transactions.
