/**
 * Specify the use of batch writing to optimize transactions with multiple writes,
 * by default batch writing is not used.
 * Batch writing allows multiple heterogeneous dynamic SQL statements to be sent to the database as a single
 * execution, or multiple homogeneous parameterized SQL statements to be executed as a single batch execution.
 * <p>Note that not all JDBC drivers, or databases support batch writing.
 *
 * <p>JPA persistence property Usage:
 *
 * <p><code>properties.add(PersistenceUnitProperties.BATCH_WRITING, BatchWriting.JDBC);</code>
 *
 * <p>Property values are case-insensitive
 *
 * <ul>
 * <li>JDBC - JDBC batch API's are used (dynamic, or parameterized).
 * <li>Bufferred - dynamic SQL is concatenated into a batch SQL string.
 * <li>Oracle-JDBC - Oracle JDBC batch API's are used (allows row count to be returned for optimistic locking).
 * <li><custom-class> - A custom class that extends the BatchWritingMechanism class.
 * </ul>
