Just following up on this issue, in case anyone cares. I ended up calling
Macromedia support. They said that the only work-around they could find was
specifying the password in the CFQUERY tag directly. I tested this out, and it
does in fact get around the 16 character limit. Apparently the limit has more
to do with the way they are encrypting the passwords internally than the Oracle
16 character password limit, as someone else had posited.
I don't think that's a great work-around, but at least they had something
besides "change the password". I think what I'll end up doing is waiting until
Tuesday when our in house developer who used to work on the core CF team gets
back. He fixed an issue for us involving the CFQUERY dbname parameter in CF7.
Maybe he can toss off another custom build. ;-)
