We're using the CF Standard version and trying to connect to an Oracle Database (and actually use it in a meaningful way). What we've discovered is this is pretty much down-right silly if you want to use stored procs.
In order to see if we can fix the problems I downloaded the DataDirect drivers (which appear to be THE way to connect to Oracle). Drivers are installed, I can test the connection using the tool that comes wtih them, and you'd think everything would work... but NO, I get a timeout error everytime I try to connect to my database. I'm assuming that the problem is my connection string since it's obviously finding the driver, but I can't figure it out. Has anyone else out there done this? I'm going to call Adobe in the morning, but I thought maybe someone could just toss me the answer. Connection Information I'm using: Driver Class: com.ddtek.jdbc.oracle.OracleDriver URL: jdbc:datadirect:oracle://ASG2KDEVODB01:1521;ServiceName=DBKDEV1 CF Class Path: c:/work/ColdFusion/drivers/lib/base.jar,c:/work/ColdFusion/drivers/lib/util.jar,c:/work/ColdFusion/drivers/lib/oracle.jar I had to configure it as a type "Other" since the Data Direct drivers don't come wtih standard. Any help at all would be appreciated. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:244354 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
