[12:01:47 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> PostgreSQL requires that CLOBs be read inside of a TX
[12:02:09 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> so all of the read methods on JpaPortletDefinitionDao and JpaPortletEntityDao are annotated with @Transactional(readOnly=true)
[12:02:15 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> you could try removing that annotation
[12:02:18 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> and see what happens
[12:02:28 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> it could be that the read-only TX is simply too expensive on MSSQL
[12:02:42 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> which means we would have to do a little work to only have that TX functionality for postgres
[12:02:44 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> which is doable
[12:02:46 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist> just annoying 
[12:03:04 CST(-0600)] <Arvids> but the strange thing is that I also ran MSSQL profiler and each commit executes in 0-1ms
