+ * <code>MSSqlPersistenceManager</code> is a JDBC-based
+ * <code>PersistenceManager</code> for Jackrabbit that persists
+ * <code>ItemState</code> and <code>NodeReferences</code> objects in MS SQL
+ * database using a simple custom serialization format and a
+ * very basic non-normalized database schema (in essence tables with one 'key'
+ * and one 'data' column).
+ * <p/>
+ * It is configured through the following properties:
+ * <ul>
+ * <li><code>driver</code>: the FQN name of the JDBC driver class
+ * (default: <code>"com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver"</code>)</li>
+ * <li><code>schema</code>: type of schema to be used
+ * (default: <code>"mssql"</code>)</li>
+ * <li><code>url</code>: the database url (e.g.
+ * <code>"jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://[host]:[port];databaseName=[dbname]"</code>)</li>
+ * <li><code>user</code>: the database user</li>
+ * <li><code>password</code>: the user's password</li>
+ * <li><code>schemaObjectPrefix</code>: prefix to be prepended to schema objects</li>
+ * <li><code>tableSpace</code>: the tablespace to use</li>
+ * <li><code>externalBLOBs</code>: if <code>true</code> (the default) BINARY
+ * values (BLOBs) are stored in the local file system;
+ * if <code>false</code> BLOBs are stored in the database</li>
+ * </ul>
+ * See also {@link SimpleDbPersistenceManager}.
+ * <p/>
+ * The following is a fragment from a sample configuration:
+ * <pre>
+ *   &lt;PersistenceManager class="org.apache.jackrabbit.core.persistence.db.MSSqlPersistenceManager"&gt;
+ *       &lt;param name="url" value="jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://localhost:1433;mydb"/&gt;
