In my experience, the Oracle native drivers return a different error message than the ODBC error messages - they're even more obtuse. In fact, the Allaire knowledge base recommends using ODBC instead of native drivers when you're trying to figure out why something isn't working. > How exactly does ColdFusion process database errors? CF never really communicates directly with the database, as I believe SQL*Plus does. It returns whatever message the middleware layer sends, as far as I can tell.
