13 The Oracle Driver : MTS Support

MTS Support
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 for ODBC 32-bit drivers can operate in a 64-bit Windows environment; however, they do not support DTC in this environment. Only the DataDirect Connect64 for ODBC 64-bit drivers support DTC in a 64-bit Windows environment.
To enable DTC support, you must be accessing Oracle 8.0.5 or higher servers using Oracle Net8 Client 8.1.6 or higher.
