On Windows, the driver can take advantage of Microsoft Transaction Server (MTS) capabilities, specifically, the Distributed Transaction Coordinator (DTC) using the XA Protocol. For a general discussion of MTS and DTC, refer to the help file of the Microsoft Transaction Server SDK.
Note: The DataDirect Connect forODBC 32-bit drivers can operate in a 64-bit Windows environment; however, they do not support DTC in this environment. Only the DataDirect Connect64 forODBC 64-bit drivers support DTC in a 64-bit Windows environment.
To enable DTC support, you must be connected to an Oracle 8.1.7 or higher server.
