Error messages returned from the Oracle ODBC driver do not provide much information. For example, the message "invalid argument" doesn't provide any information about the table or field that causes the error, which is very helpful in a large join. However, when I plug the query into something like SQL Plus and run it directly against the database, I get a much better error message pointing to the offending field. Which leads me to ask... Would the native driver return a different (or even better) error message than the Oracle ODBC driver? How exactly does ColdFusion process database errors? thanx for any insight -mike ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ To Unsubscribe visit http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists&body=lists/cf_talk or send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with 'unsubscribe' in the body.
