CfxIE & Coldfusion connection to Oracle


User (Legacy)

Recommended Posts

Iam trying to trial the ChartFX Internet product in a Coldfusion development

environment and Iam hitting severe problems with database connectivity.

I have managed to successfully run the example on the SoftwareFX web site

for accessing the CfxSrv datasource from Coldfusion, however when I try to

modify the code to use a connection to our Oracle database I encounter a

"[Microsoft][ODBC driver for Oracle][Oracle]ORA-01017: invalid

username/password; logon denied" error from the Microsoft ODBC driver.

Using Coldfusion's native method of connecting to the database (CFQUERY)

using the same DSN works fine. Whats more of a mystery is that I can't find

any information on the arguments used in the example for "Conn.Open" method.

I assume specifying UID=?;PWD=? is correct, but what are the other

parameters?

I have stripped the Coldfusion template down to the very bare bones and as

you can see it's very much just a question of creating the connection object

and trying to open it.

Any advice or assistance would be of great help

Cheers

Mike

------ Sample CFM file stripped to the bare bones for establishing a

connection to the Database -------

<!--- Create the connection object --->

<CFOBJECT ACTION="CREATE" NAME="Conn" CLASS="ADODB.Connection">

<!--- Open the connection to the database --->

<CFSET Conn.Open("DSN=dev3;UID=MCT;PWD=MCT","","0","0")>

<!--- More stuff to come --->

</body>
