| TRANS_NO_NEW_SESSION | Management of new sessions when starting a transaction. If this keyword is set to 1, no new session will be created when starting a transaction. This option allows you to use the temporary tables created per session. This option can also impact the use of nested transactions. |

The possible values are as follows: - -2: Default value of the Native Connector or client library (100 in most cases).
- -1: All the records are placed in the cache.
This keyword is supported by:- Native Sybase, SQL Server (via OLE DB and ODBC) and PostgreSQL Connectors.
 OLE DB.

| WD CLIENT VERSION | Specifies the version number of the client library to be used. This keyword is supported by: - Native SQL Server Connectors via OLE DB: The possible values are as follows:

|
| WD Command Timeout | Defines the maximum timeout (in seconds) for running a command (command timeout). The possible values are as follows: - -1: Default value of the client library (30 seconds in most cases).
- 0: No timeout. In this case, there is an endless wait (caution: the application may be locked).
- value greater than 0: Timeout value in seconds.
This keyword is supported by:- Native Sybase, SQL Server (via OLE DB or ODBC) and PostgreSQL Connectors.
- OLE DB.
|

- OLE DB.
|
| WD Cursor Location | In most cases, the default cursor is the fastest. It corresponds to the "default result set" of the SQL Server documentation.
You have the ability to specify specific cursors:- "WD Cursor Location = CLIENT" allows you to request the use of a client cursor for all the browse operations performed on this connection.
- "WD Cursor Location = SERVER" allows you to request the use of a server cursor for all the browse operations performed on this connection. The type of the server cursors used is FAST_FORWARD. See the documentation about SQL Server for more details.
This type of cursor can be used to:- Limit the resources reserved on the server during the browse operations.
- Limit the number of connections opened by the Native Connector to manage the multiple browses in parallel.
Caution:- In most cases, the browses performed with the server cursors are slower than the browses performed in default mode.
- The server cursors may not be compatible with some types of queries.
- The performances are affected by the size of the cache.
Remark: The server cursors are automatically used when a connection is in transaction. This keyword is supported by: - Native SQL Server Connector (via OLE DB or ODBC).
- OLE DB.
|
| WD Lock Timeout | Defines the maximum timeout (in seconds) for implementing a lock (lock timeout). The possible values are as follows: - -2: Immediate response (uses NOWAIT on Oracle).
- -1: Default value (30 seconds in most cases).
- 0: No timeout (infinite wait).
- value greater than 0: Timeout value in seconds.
|
| WD RECORD LOCK | Used to specify whether the management of locks is enabled (or not) on the connection.- If "WD RECORD LOCK = WITH (NOLOCK)", the management of locks is disabled on the connection. In this case, the Native Connector adds "WITH (NOLOCK)" into all generated SELECT queries. Therefore, the selected records are not locked.
- If this option is not specified (default case), the management of locks is enabled on the connection. All the selected records are automatically locked.
Caution: "WD RECORD LOCK = WITH (NOLOCK)" is not used by default. Indeed, this option must be used with great care: the value of the records read may not correspond to the real value (if this value was recently modified by another computer for example).CtProgress.ExtendedInfo = ...
"PORT=2800;" + ...
"WD RECORD LOCK = WITH (NOLOCK);" + ...
"WD CLIENT LIBRARY= C:\...\pgoe1022.dll"
|
| WD SESSION MODE | This value is an integer, result of a combination (BinaryOr) of the following values:- OCI_SYSDBA=2
- OCI_SYSOPER=4
- OCI_PRELIM_AUTH=8
For example, to connect as SYSDBA, you must use "WD SESSION MODE=2". |
| WD Unicode Support | Used to specify whether the management of the Unicode format is enabled (or not) on the connection. If "WD Unicode Support = 0", the management of the Unicode format is disabled on the connection. All the values will be converted (if necessary) by the server into the default character set. In this case, the performance is improved but the Unicode items are not supported. If "WD Unicode Support = 1" (default value), the management of the Unicode format is enabled on the connection. All the exchanges with the server will be performed in Unicode. The possible conversions are managed by the native connector. |
