Have you tried using GenericCursorType for your cursor type? That works for
me. (I can give you a sample stored proc that's working for me, if that
would be helpful.)

We do something like 
ref_cursor is REF CURSOR
and return ref_cursor type.

I'd appreciate that.I tried using GenericCursorType, and the SP would 
not compile, throwing this error:
===
PLS-00201: identifier 'GENERICCURSORTYPE' must be declared

Here is how I tried to implement it:

CREATE OR REPLACE procedure dlc_sp_getStudentInfo (

One thing I noticed is your calling code referenced the procedure directly.I think you need to create a package spec and have the cfstoredproc point to the name of the spec.In the header is where you create a ref cursor and you don't need the return type if the ref cursor is unrestrictive type.

CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE pkg_studentInfo

AS

TYPE studentInfo REF CURSOR;

 
PROCEDURE dlc_sp_getStudentInfo(
studentID IN number,
arg_cursor OUT types.studentInfo

END pkg_studentInfo;

THEN YOU GO ON AND CREATE THE PACKAGE BODY WHICH INCLUDES THE dlc_sp_getStudentInfo PROCEDURE.

I have heard that Oracle is the best database for Coldfusion because
basically they can communicate natively without ODBC which will give much
better performance. How true is this statement?

I have a site which is being prototyped in Access (spit) but requires more
power. I have been looking at the cheap route; mySql and Interbase compared
with Oracle 8i, DB2 v7 and a few others.

Is there anything I am overlooking? Does anyone have any comments/urls to
help me make a more educated decision?

Is Oracle a good database or is it like a Bentley; you just pay for the
name? Designer databases :-)

Re: Oracle and Cold Fusion

2000-10-05 Thread Dave Hannum

For some reason, when reading numeric columns out of the Oracle database,
(at least with coming off the IBM), it does not convert the numeric values
from EPICIC (the native IBM language) to ASCII.  You just get funky
characters instead of the values and you can't interpret them.  So, to
remedy this, we either avoid using numeric formats in the table or do a
To_Char(column_name) in the SQL to force the data to ASCII.

We use Oracle 8  8i here with a tremendous amount of success.  We've had
one issue - that is that our Oracle sits on an IBM box and as a result, I
have problems with number fields.  I can write fine, but when I read back
out using the Native Drivers, number fields come back in EPIDIC, so I have
to do a To_Char on them.  Otherwise, I can use ODBC without any problems.
Now, that's been with 4.01.  We're just about ready to load up 4.51, so
we'll see what happens then.

Oracle on IBM
CF 4.01 on NT4.0 SP 5

ODBC

Hope this helps,
Dave

RE: Oracle and Cold Fusion

I think itt's because Oracle has a large market share for enterprise-level
e-commerce databases...

 We use Sybase here, but I've noticed that the vast majority of discussions
 are about CF and Oracle. I wonder if that means Oracle is the preferred
 database for CF or if it is because it has more problems to discuss than
 the others? :-)

 I have a site which is being prototyped in Access (spit) but requires
 more
 power. I have been looking at the cheap route; mySql and Interbase
 compared
 with Oracle 8i, DB2 v7 and a few others.
 
 Is there anything I am overlooking? Does anyone have any comments/urls to
 help me make a more educated decision?
 
 Is Oracle a good database or is it like a Bentley; you just pay for the
 name? Designer databases :-)

 You are the first others I've heard of with that same To_Char problem. I
 thought it just might be a configuration issue on our end, (NT 4.0 SP5 
 IBM) but it appears that we're not the only one now.   Does anybody know
 if
 it's a CF issue or an Oracle issue, because when I talked to Allaire and
 Oracle, they both just pointed the finger at each other and neither was
 interested in addressing the problem.

RE: Oracle and Cold Fusion

2000-10-05 Thread mherbene

I would have said that the majority are about MS SQL Server and MS Access.
I've used both oracle (7.3, 8.04) and Ms SQL Server (6.5) with CF without
significant issues and can't say I have a strong preference.

RE: Oracle and Cold Fusion

2000-10-05 Thread Warrick, Mark

One high-traffic app I developed used Oracle 7.3.4 and CF 4.01 on Solaris.  Worked 
great on NT with an Access database, died on UNIX with Oracle.  Go figure.

 Is anybody out there integrating Oracle with Cold Fusion?  What has

 Please contact me directly, if at all possible.
