Re: Oracle and CF5
Stephenie, Oracle doesn't make anything real easy. There is no executable, what you need is the Oracle Universal Installer. If you have the Oracle Client installed, there should be a menu item called Oracle Installation Products. Click on the Universal Installer, and click Next... Then on the next screen for Source, click browse and find the products.jar file -- this should have been extraced from your driver download (in a Disk1\Stage\ directory in the location where you extracted the files) If you don't have that, then you would need to grab hold of an oracle product that has the installer on it -- the client is the best bet. There is a product for download on the Oracle site called Oracle Rdb ODBC Drivers that has the Installer included with the download -- these are not the drivers you need, most likely, but you it may be a quicker way to grab hold of the installer .

Re: Oracle and CF5
Have you installed the Oracle client on the server? We're running CF 5 on Win2K against Oracle 7.x 8.x servers on IBM, AIX and Sun boxes. Not a problem (except for one issue on the IBM). But, you need the Oracle client installed on the server and you need a properly written TNS Names file (tnsnames.ora) that the Oracle drivers can find. If this isn't enough info, I'll be glad to expound further.

Re: Oracle ODBC CF5 Ent
We run Oracle 8 here with CF5 Ent. You have two choices. CF Enterprise comes with Native Oracle drivers. You can also use the MS odbc drivers for Oracle. They are very solid and very fast. I've read somewhere (can't remember where) that the latest MS ODBC drivers for Oracle are actually faster with CF than the Native. We have Oracle running on IBM and as a result, we have an issue with the Native drivers, so we use the Microsoft ODBC exclusively.

Re: Oracle ODBC CF5 Ent
I think it would probably be better to use the Oracle ODBC connector rather than the MS one. I would put money that the MS driver isn't feature complete.

Are you sure you're using the Microsoft ODBC driver for Oracle, or could you be referring to the Merant ODBC wire-protocol driver for Oracle provided in CF 5? We've had bad experiences with the Microsoft ODBC driver for Oracle, and of course that's not even an option for a lot of our Oracle work, which is on Solaris. I've heard very good things about the Merant wire-protocol drivers, and have implemented them successfully against Sybase on Solaris, but haven't been able to get them to work at all against Oracle (I haven't tried too hard, either, though).

Re: Oracle ODBC CF5 Ent
Okay, well I finally got the MS ODBC driver working, I had to go around my head to get to my A$$ doing it. So I would venture to guess I am still doing something wrong. Native drivers, I get an error with though. It is unable to verify the connection. I tried to go into the control panel to do it and got the message Specified driver could not be loaded due to system error odbc 126(Merant 3.70 ColdFusion OEM 32-bit Oracle8) Anyone have any suggestions? I can connect using my sql soft application just fine, and MS oracle 8. However I have stored procs and triggers and such, don't I have to use native for these?
