Can't start a cloned connection while in manual transaction mode

While using the Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Driver for JDBC, you may experience the following exception when you try to create multiple Statement objects with same Connection object:
java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][SQLServer 2000 Driver for JDBC]Can't start a cloned connection while in manual transaction mode.

Add SelectMethod=Cursor; in the connection string. Thats it..... Let me know if this helped u...
