Deanna,

Not sure of a programatic way - but you can add spaces to the queries in
question (alter the query) to get the new schema.  See this blog entry and
the comments below.

Subject: Refreshing a datasource in CF

Is there a programmatic way to somehow "refresh" a datasource in CF?
I've noticed that, periodically, I'll have a datasource that won't recognize
new objects for some period of time. I think it's a caching issue. (These
are oracle datasources with CF 6.1 Enterprise, though I'm not positive which
driver is being used.)

We happen to have 2 datasources that point to the same Oracle box: one a
generic name that works on dev-test-prod and points to the appropriate
instance of Oracle based on which instance of CF we're on; and one that
explicitly points to the dev-test-production instance. I typically use the
generic one, so that no code needs to change between dev-test-prod. But,
sometimes, when I upload a new app to production, CF insists the underlying
Oracle objects don't exist. If I switch the code to use the explicit dsn,
voila, all works. The next day I can usually come back and switch it back
and it works with the generic one, which is what makes me think it's a
caching issue of some sort.

This is not the same thing as the select * issue with not recognizing new
columns added, as in my case, it doesn't even recognize that the tables
exist.

Thanks for any insight.
