Another amendment to my last message: We don't _seem_ to be using the native drivers anyway, we're using something called the Oracle Thin Client Driver with the class name oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver... But then what I know about variations in db drivers much less Oracle db drivers could probably fill a thimble.
---------- There's mention of this being a problem with Oracle prior to CF 5 -- apparently CF MX broke what was fixed in CF 5 because I can't get a <cfqueryparam> tag to insert a value longer than 4000 characters into a clob field and unfortunately I don't have any control over the drivers being used. http://www.macromedia.com/v1/Handlers/index.cfm?ID=22321&Method=Full Any suggestions greatly appreciated. s. isaac dealey 954-776-0046 new epoch http://www.turnkey.to lead architect, tapestry cms http://products.turnkey.to tapestry api is opensource http://www.turnkey.to/tapi certified advanced coldfusion 5 developer http://www.macromedia.com/v1/handlers/index.cfm?ID=21816 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.
