You can use the Oracle j2ee drivers (that comes with Oracle) to work with CF
standard. Just a little more work on your end, but it works fine.
This is for Oracle 10g, it may be slightly different for other versions..
-Find the ojdbc14.jar driver on your oracle installation
-Put that jar into your WEB-INF\lib -In coldfusion, create a new datasource
and choose "other" as the driver
-JDBC URL would be jdbc:oracle:thin:@ip:port:database
-Driver Class oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver
Now why does CF standard not just go ahead and do this for you. Well franky
I don't know, but it really doesn't matter if you have the drivers anyway.
It does confuse the hack out of people, which is bad. Wanted to make sure
you knew this before you decided to jump ship :)

Subject: Re: Adobe Nails ColdFusion Cofin
So, I have to agree with Dale... Adobe has put a bullet in CF. For example,
Standard Edition would be fine for me but I need Oracle access and now I
need to pay twice that just to do supported Oracle connectivity. We are an
enterprise and when I discussed this with management they came back and said
we should just invest our time in ASP.NET. We can retrain our developers,
and not worry about buying upgrades and we'll get new features as they come
out. You know, I don't disagree with them. I just recently started playing
with Visual Studio .Net, and it's far easier to write web services and
create great web content.
Adobe thanks for the memories, a user/developer since version 4.5.
