A system and method for providing connectivity as a service are disclosed. In one embodiment, the system establishes a connection between a driver and a connectivity service; receives, at the connectivity service, a request from the driver; establishes a connection with one or more data sources associated with the request; and sends the request to the one or more data sources, the one or more data sources performing an action based on the request.

Connectivity as a service

One embodiment of the present invention is a wizard (e.g., software) for configuring database access middleware for optimal performance. The wizard asks a set of questions. The questions are presented to the user with a navigable UI, and are designed such that the user does not need database expertise to answer them. Based on the user's answers, the wizard generates a set of connect options and values to be used to optimize performance of the user's middleware. Users can use the wizard to determine whether currently selected options or values of a deployed application are optimal, and to determine if other options/values should be used that may improve the performance of the existing application. Also, a prospective customer that is evaluating middleware can use this wizard to tune the middleware for the intended application, thereby allowing that user to better assess how the middleware will perform.

Optimizing performance of database middleware

A system and method for conducting distributed transactions wherein a connect JDBC&#x2122; driver for a Microsoft&#x2122; SQL Server implements Java&#x2122; JTA distributed transactions. To conduct the JTA distributed transactions, JTA specific interfaces are engineered in the driver. The JDBC&#x2122; driver is a wire protocol driver in direct TCP communication with the SQL server. During communication, the JDBC&#x2122; driver sends packets of information back and forth to and from the database server. These packets may request information form the server, or instruct the server to perform a function, such as executing a stored procedure.
