New Features

This release has the following new and updated features:

· Support for Asynchronous Processing

Commands can be now executed using Asynchronous Processing. This enables you to execute SQL statements and PL/SQL blocks in non-blocking mode.

With non-blocking mode, control is returned to the application immediately even if the execution is not complete. This allows the application to execute other tasks which are not dependent on the results of the last execution.

· Support for Detection of Lost Connections.

· Support for Application Failover Notifications
