I got this error recently using SQL Server, and I found a microsoft site
which gives a solution by setting the SelectMethod property to Cursor but I
don't understand why. We've run this app before with no problems, yet now al
l
of a sudden we need to customize the URL string of the driver connection.

Can anyone explain what this means exactly and why this might have become a
problem now but was not before?

Most appreciated,

olá,

add "SelectMethod=cursor" your URL connection

ex: 
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://lo
calhost:1433;SelectMethod=cursor");

Hello,

You will definitely need to use cursor mode to allow cloned connections to
be spawned on your behalf in a transaction.  The behavior of SelectMethod
has been the same for the last several years.

If your code always used SelectMethod=direct, then the only thing I can
think of is that your app never entered the codepath that required a new
connection to be spawned.
