Type Name Description 1 JDBC-ODBC bridge Translates JDBC calls to ODBC calls, and sends them to the ODBC driver. Advantages: Allows access to many different databases.Disadvantages: The ODBC driver, and possibly the client database libraries, must reside on the ColdFusion server computer. Performance is slower than other JDBC driver types.Adobe does not recommend this driver type unless your application requires DBMS-specific features. 2 Native-API/partly Java driver Converts JDBC calls to database-specific calls.Advantages: Better performance than Type 1 driver.Disadvantages: The client database libraries of the vendor must reside on the same computer as ColdFusion. ColdFusion includes a Type 2 driver for use with Microsoft Access Unicode databases.

Nov 14, 2005. Oracle has recently released Oracle 10g Express Edition (XE), a free edition of their database server. While Macromedia supports connections to Oracle 10g from ColdFusion MX 7.01 using the built-in JDBC drivers that ship with ColdFusion, this version of Oracle is not officially supported with earlier.

3 JDBC-Net pure Java driver Translates JDBC calls to the middle-tier server, which then translates the request to the database-specific native-connectivity interface.Advantages: The database libraries of vendors are not required client computer. Can be tailored for small size (faster loading).Disadvantages: Database-specific code must be executed in the middle tier. ColdFusion includes an ODBC socket Type 3 driver for use with Microsoft Access databases and ODBC data sources. 4 Native-protocol/all-Java driver Converts JDBC calls to the network protocol used directly by the database.Advantages: Fast performance. No special software needed on the computer on which you run ColdFusion.Disadvantages: Many of these protocols are proprietary, requiring a different driver for each database. ColdFusion includes Type 4 drivers for many DBMSs; however, not all DBMSs are supported in ColdFusion Standard Edition.

To see a list of database versions that ColdFusion supports, go to. When running in the JEE configuration, the ColdFusion Administrator also lets you configure a data source that connects to a JNDI data source. A Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) data source is equivalent to a ColdFusion data source, except you define it by using your J2EE application server. After it's defined, ColdFusion applications use it as they would any data source. For information on defining a JNDI data source, see. You use the ColdFusion Administrator to quickly add a data source for use in your ColdFusion applications.

When you add a data source, you assign it a data source name (DSN) and set all information required to establish a connection. ColdFusion includes data sources that are configured by default. You do not need the following procedure to work with these data sources. • In the ColdFusion Administrator, select Data & Services >Data Sources. • Under Add New Data Source, enter a data source name; for example, MyTestDSN.

The following names are reserved; you cannot use them for data source names: • service • jms_provider • comp • jms • Select a driver from the drop-down list; for example, Microsoft SQL Server. • Click Add.A form for additional DSN information appears. The available fields in this form depend on the driver that you selected. • In the Database field, enter the name of the database. • In the Server field, enter the network name or IP address of the server that hosts the database, and enter any required Port value. For example, the bullwinkle server on the default port.

• If your database requires login information, enter your user name and password. The omission of required user name and password information is a common reason why a data source fails to verify.

• (Optional) Enter a Description. • (Optional) Click Show Advanced Settings to specify any ColdFusion specific settings; for example, to configure which SQL commands can interact with this data source. • Click Submit to create the data source. ColdFusion automatically verifies that it can connect to the data source. • (Optional) To verify this data source later, click the verify icon in the Actions column. To check the status of all data sources available to ColdFusion, click Verify All Connections. When you add data sources to ColdFusion, keep in mind the following guidelines: • Data source names must be all one word.

• Data source names can contain only letters, numbers, hyphens, and the underscore character (_). • Data source names must not contain special characters or spaces. • Although data source names are not case sensitive, use a consistent capitalization scheme. • Depending on the JDBC driver, connection strings and JDBC URLs might be case sensitive. • Use the Administrator to verify that ColdFusion can connect to the data source.

• A data source must exist in the ColdFusion Administrator before you use it on an application page to retrieve data.

If you are having trouble establishing a connection to SQL Server, review the following considerations: • If you installed SQL Server using a server name other than the default, use your chosen domain servername wherever there is reference to (local). The following situations can cause a Connection Refused error: • If you specified authentication information in SQL Server, ensure that you have not defined a user name and password in the ColdFusion data source.

• You are running a connection-limited version of SQL Server and the request exceeds the limit for TCP/IP connections. You can prevent this exception by setting the Limit Connections and Restrict Connections To options in ColdFusion Administrator on the Advanced Settings page for the data sources, and specifying a number less than the SQL Server maximum. • SQL Server does not enable the TCP/IP protocol. This problem can happen when SQL Server is on the same computer as ColdFusion. To fix this problem, perform the following steps: • In SQL Server Enterprise Manager, right-click on the name of your SQL Server and click Properties.

• Click Network Configuration and the General Tab. • Move TCP/IP from the Disabled Protocols section to the Enabled Protocols section. • Restart the SQL Server services. • Verify your data source. • If you have are having trouble connecting, consider using mixed-mode authentication for SQL Server (Windows and SQL) and removing the user name and password from the ColdFusion data source.

ColdFusion supports DataDirect driver version 4.2, which provides the following features to enhance database operations: • Support for MySQL (Enterprise and Commercial), Oracle11g, DB2v9.5, Informix 11, SQL Server 2008 For Oracle databases, if you want to filter the retrieval of column names or indexes for a particular schema, then the schema name must be provided along with the table name in the table attribute. In this case, the format of the table attribute value is: schemaname.tablename. • Improved performance • IPv6 Address Support • Querytimeout connection option to set default query timeout value. For details, see. Note: Timestamp Milliseconds are rounded off during insert on SQL Server 2008 and using Connect for JDBC driver version 4.2. This is a known issue.

As a workaround, specify the parameter DateTimeInputParameterType=dateTime in the connection string. To create a MySQL Enterprise ColdFusion data source, select the driver type as MySQL(Datadirect) from the drivers pop up menu in ColdFusion Administrator. The MySQL5 Enterprise database sometimes requires access permission for all users who try to connect to it, if the access permission is not specified during configuration. To grant the required permission, you can use the command: grant all on. to 'root'@'%' identified by 'admin'. Replace root and admin by MYSQL username and MYSQL password, respectively. A new admin API method, setMySQL_DD has been added, which lets you create a MySQL DataDirect data source.

Following is the description of querytimeout and pagetimeout from the DataDirect documentation: 'When the page time-out is much higher and the query times out, an exception is thrown to indicate that the query has timed out. Similarly, if the query timeout is much higher and page times out, an exception is thrown to indicate the page has timed out. However, when a page times out while a query is executing, the page times out only after the query's execution is complete.' A new argument qtimeout has been added to the following methods in the Administrator API: • setDB2() • setMySQL_DD() • setOracle() • setSybase() • setInformix() • setMSSQL() The qtimeout option is not supported by all databases.

ColdFusion11 helps you build and deploy web and mobile apps. Learn how easily it integrates with drivers to expand connectivity to cloud sources like Salesforce and Oracle Service Cloud. ColdFusion11 is an application server for building and deploying web and mobile applications. ColdFusion integrates with Progress DataDirect JDBC drivers seamlessly and already supports the latest version of DataDirect drivers for a number of relational databases.

The full list is,,,, and (as you can see on ). If you are looking to expand this connectivity to a cloud source such as Salesforce and Oracle Service Cloud, or even to big data sources such as MongoDB—this tutorial will show you the easy step-by-step guide for expanding your ColdFusion connectivity. Step 1: Download and install the DataDirect Connect for JDBC drivers I've put together a JDBC for Windows installation video that you can watch right here. Step 2: Copy the driver.jar file to your ColdFusion lib folder Locate the DataDirect JDBC.jar file for the driver that you want to integrate with your Adobe ColdFusion environment by looking in the lib folder.

The default location will look similar to: C: Program Files Progress DataDirect Connect_for_JDBC_51 lib. Below I have an example of copying the MongoDB and Salesforce driver’s.jar files. Step 3: Restart the Adobe ColdFusion server In order for the driver.jar file to be picked up by the application server, you must navigate to the Enterprise Manager >Instance Manager and restart the server.

Step 4: Navigate to the Data & Services >Data Sources section of your ColdFusion application and add a new data source Enter a Data Source Name and select Other for the Driver. You will then define your data source by entering the JDBC URL, Driver Class, User Name, and Password. I have given an example of the MongoDB and Salesforce driver definitions below.

For a driver other than these, please refer to the for the Driver Class and URL syntax. Step 5: Verify your connection After clicking on Submit and saving your data source successfully, you can click on the check mark to verify the JDBC data source connection.

It will appear with an OK to show you that you have successfully made your connection! Common Error Messages If you are seeing an error similar to what is below. Please double check that you have listed the correct Driver Class Name.

In this example, the driver class should be com.ddtek.jdbc.sforce.SForceDriver.
