CFMX8 - Enterprise OR Standard to use DataDirect JDBC drivers?

Simple question here, I hope? I am migrating an application
to CFMX8. This app connects to Informix. The best performance I've
seen so far to do so is using DataDirect's JDBC driver. What I know
is that DataDirect created a JDBC driver that ships with CFMX. What
I don't know is why it
seems CF somehow restricts access to that driver to
Enterprise edition?!? Below are steps I have done.
Using tech note
shown
here I did install the updated Macromedia drivers and created a
DSN to the Informix database, but upon trying to save the DSN
details, an error appeared stating:
quote:
java.sql.SQLException: Use of Macromedia JDBC Drivers is
restricted. Drivers can only be used with Macromedia server
products. Please check that your license supports the requested
driver.
This is pretty vague! Can anyone confirm that this is ONLY a
Standard Ed. vs. Enterprise Ed. issue? Or is something else the
matter?

The Macromedia drivers are not available in standard edition
of ColdFusion. They are availbale in enterprise and developer
edition of ColdFusion.

Using INET and DATADIRECT JDBC Drivers to connect MS SQL Server 2005

Hi,
I have reqmt to connect SQL server 2005 from ODI using INET and DATADIRECT JDBC drivers to test Local characters Encoding.
In my case, Oracle is the Source and SQL Server 2005 is the Target. I have problem while interfacing Local Characters to SQL Server 2005 using com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver driver( which is default driver provided by ODI). To fix local charatcters issue, I want to try using INET or DATADIRECT JDBC drivers. Please provide me the below of any one has used these Drivers to connect SQL Server 2005 from ODI.
We are trying to connect to MS SQL Server 2005 from ODI Topology Mgr using INET and DATADIRECT JDBC Drivers. We need the following info to connect to the same,
--> What are list of the drivers need to be placed in OraHome_1\oracledi\drivers path?
--> Where can i get the latest driver versions.
--> What are the JDBC DRIVER and URL formats.
--> Any other additional configurations?
--> Does these drivers support interfacing of Local character data.
Please respond...

CF Enterprise vs Standard when used to host CF sites

Hi,
Can anyone tell me the merits of having my site hosted at a
host who uses the enterprise version as opposed to the standard
version?
I am looking for a host for my CF site - developed for cfmx7,
i have narrowed it down to 2 hosts but one is much more expensive
than the other - they site the fact that they have enterprise
edition as being a big security advantage over the standard - is
this true?
I can see that a couple of tags are disabled (CFCOLLECTION,
CFEXECUTE, CFLOG, CFREGISTRY, CFSCHEDULE) but i think these would
normally be disabled by most hosts (it's shared hosting) just for
server security, so i'm wondering what other advantages
(security/performance) there would be in using enterprise?
I'm in the uk and looking for a uk datacentred host - the two
i have narrowed it down to are :
http://www.firstserv.co.uk
and
http://www.cwcs.co.uk - has anyone
any comments on either of these?
Many thanks!
Jim

Not really--if there are JDBC drivers for these databases
you'll be
fine. We're on all CF Enterprise now, but I've used Oracle's
JDBC
driver with CF 7 Standard without any trouble. You just have
to
configure the database as "other" and point to the JDBC
drivers.

Using Oracle8 JDBC Drivers with WebLogic 5.1

We are currently using the BEA WebLogic 5.1 application server and Oracle 8.0.4. We are using the JDBC OCI driver that came out-of-the-box with the WebLogic software. However, we would like to use the driver developed by Oracle, instead.
Does the Oracle8 JDBC driver (both type 2 and type 4) interoperate with WebLogic 5.1? If not, what are the problems that prohibit them being used together?
Thanks... Steve Bursch

Summarizing from previous threads on this forum (I have not run this configuration myself):
The main issue is that you will not be able to use Oracle-specific functionality from the Oracle driver.
This includes all types in oracle.sql, or any APIs on oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleXxxx classes, or JPublisher-generated wrappers for SQL Object Types, collections, or REFs.
Also, since Oracle does not support side-channel result sets, but requires explicit REF CURSOR out parameters from stored procedures/functions, you will not be able to return REF CURSORs to the client, from stored proedures or functions - the getCursor() API that is required is Oracle-specific and not part of JDBC.
As long as you limit yourself strictly to standard JDBC types, and do not require the return of result sets from the server, you should probably be fine.

How to use Multiple JDBC Drivers?

Hi,
I'm working with an application that connects to an Oracle 8 database and Oracle 10 databases as a single user/schema and then the application users all share the single Oracle user. When we use an Oracle 8 JDBC driver, then a module that inserts a large number of records (1500+) into an oracle table behaves inconsistently and either times out, pauses inserting records for exactly 1 hour, or throws an error. It also seems somewhat inconsistent from user to user.
The problem goes away when we use an Oracle 10 or Oracle 11 JDBC driver. However, the Oracle 10 JDBC driver has a problem with truncating the hh:mi:ss from datetime column types to 00:00:00. This is a known Oracle error and I know there is a flag that can fix this with the Oracle 10 driver. However, with the way the JDBC driver gets installed in the application, we are unable to set that flag.
Oracle 11 JDBC driver also doesn't have the Oracle 8 issue inserting a large number of records. However, we need to connect to an Oracle 8 database and Oracle 11 JDBC does not support that. The database is still active but being retired soon so no chance of upgrading to a newer Oracle version.
I asked on the application forum (it's SAP Manufacturing Intelligence and Integration - MII) and was told the following. Data Server is a name for the connection to the database.
"If the class packages are the same (assuming so since all of the oracle drivers I've seen use the same driver) then you can't have 2 at the same time, since they will overlap and you can't prioritize or point one data server to 8 and the other to 11."
My experiments with trying to use two drivers have also shown this to be the case for what I tried.
Any ideas or thoughts of how to make this work? We are using a JDK 1.5.
Thanks for the help.
Kerby Johnson

The most reliable way would be to load each driver (and all code using it) using its own classloader.
But that would likely be overly complicated.
The most viable solution will likely be (especially as this is a short term project, you say it's going to be retired soon) to ensure a commit after every smaller subset of the total data volume and keep using the Oracle 8 drivers.
Try forcing a commit after say every 100 records and see if you still have the timeout problems. Most likely this will take care of your problems at the cost of a slight performance decrease (but better somewhat less than optimal performance than risk database corruption or crashing applications, right?).

BLOBs in DB2 using DataDirect Driver

I am using DataDirect JDBC Type-4 driver to connect to DB2. I have requirement to store large serialized java
objects. For that initially I used BLOB type but when I call
PreparedStatement.setBinarystream(colNo, inputStream, SerObjLength)
I get an error saying: VALUE OF INPUT HOST VARIABLE NUM {0} NOT USED; WRONG DATA TYPE.
As per DataDirect, they don't support BLOBs because DRDA restrictions(??). So I tried with CLOB. Now inserting
is fine but when I retirve data using ObjectInputStream.readObject() I get error: java.io.InvalidClassException:
java.util.Properties; Local class not compatible: stream classdesc serialVersionUID=4112578634029874751
local class serialVersionUID=4112578634029874840.
Now my question is, can we use CLOB for storing serialized
objects? If not, what data type I can use for this to work or what are the other solutions.
Any help on this is highly appreciated!!
thanks in advance,
dw

i have the same problem. when i try to insert a binary on a blob colum says:
"LOB col cannnot be selected by DRDA "
(?????? help!). what does it means ?
when i used other drivers (hit db2) tell the same message. what is the problem with db2?? anyone ?
anyone has a example that insert a blob in a blob colum with sucess in db2 ??
thanks

DataDirect DB2 drivers (jdbc) exception: end of stream on read

Using the DataDirect version 3.4 drivers against V8.1 of DB2...
Having trouble establishing a connection to DB2 with the com.ddtek.jdbc.db2.DB2Driver class:
SQLException: [DataDirect][DB2 JDBC Driver]End of stream was detected on a read.
The url is as follows:
jdbc:datadirect:db2://sadbarkprodtest2:6789;databaseName=INFRA
Used the default JDBC port number (which has been verified) and the user/password are set as arguments in the Connection initialization. Not sure why the exception is being thrown. Has anybody use had the same problem?
/Matthew Young

Running DB2 V8.1.5 on a Solaris machine (sparc)...
On the client side I am using jdk 141_03 from Bea and the DataDirect JDBC drivers (version 3.4). Sample code looks as follows:
public class Test {
private String url = "jdbc:datadirect:db2://sadbarkprodtest2:6789;databaseName=INFRA";
private String userid = "xxx";
private String password = "xxx";
public void connect() {
    try
      Class.forName("com.ddtek.jdbc.db2.DB2Driver");
      connection = DriverManager.getConnection(url,userid,password);
    catch (SQLException sqle) {
       sqle.printStackTrace();
    catch (Exception e) {
       e.printStackTrace();
public static void main(String[] args) {
    Test test = new Test ();
    test.connect ();
}I get the same "End of stream was detected on read" error with the Bea DB2 7.*,8.* drivers. Assuming the problem has something to do with the version of DB2.

Trying to use OCI Jdbc driver

I'm using OC4J v2, with JDK1.3.1 under Linux
what libs / configs are required to use OCI Jdbc Drivers ?
thanks
N.

Debu, I spent much time searching this forum for answers to the ocijdbcX.dll problems in OC4J. I finally found my answer on Metalink. Apparently this is Bug# 1918517. The recommended fix on metalink for this bug solved my problem and is probably the problem that everyone else is experiencing. Setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH and ORACLE_HOME had no affect on OC4J.

Upgrade 10G to use 10G thin jdbc drivers- OCI

This is wierd...
If I upgrade 10G app server to use the 10G thin JDBC drivers, and set up a data source to use the thin drivers, is there any way that I could score a[b] ORA-01010 invalid OCI operation error when I'm not using an OCI driver?
Anyone else seen this...again, it makes no sense...

You can not and should not use JDK 1.2 with 8i drivers.
If you want to use JDK 1.2 drivers, download the 8.1.6 SDK
from external site.

Oracle 8.0.6 JDBC Drivers download

We are working with an Oracle 8.0.6 Database installed in a Sun Solaris machine.
Now we need to execute a batch program in a Windows 2000 PC. We wanted to know if we can use the JDBC Drivers used in the Sun Solaris version or we have to download another class files.
Thanks a lot.

Ok i have solved the problem. I tried playing with the URL string, and started getting a Refused error along with the other erros. I noticed that i was not using the oracle user/pwd instead was using unix user/pass. I was also using the wrong tnsname that didnt match the IP.
I changed that and
String url = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@<database>";
where <database> is
@IP:portno:tnsname
and wooolllaaaa it worked.

Configure OC4J with other JDBC Drivers

I want to add ability for OC4J to use mySQL JDBC drivers.
Normally in the J2EE RI you would copy the driver and then use the j2eeadmin tool.
Does anyone have info on getting this to work in OC4J (so I can test EJBs that use that DB).
Note: I did get mySQL working for the JDeveloper9i IDE to get it to work in the IDE I just added a line to C:\jdev9i_902\jdev\binjdev.conf:
AddJavaLibFile C:/mm.mysql-2.0.14/mm.mysql-2.0.14-bin.jar
Thanks

Check out the following doc

Is the 'jdbc.drivers' system property official?

Hi, i've just read the Java Technology Fundamentals Newsletter, June issue. They mention a way to load a JDBC driver using the 'jdbc.drivers' system property. But i wonder if this is an official system property because i can't find it in the docs (JDBC specification, API docs). Does somebody know, where this system property is specified?
Thanks in advance.
Markus

This is an extract form JavaDocs on java.sql.DriverManger:
public class DriverManager
extends Object
The basic service for managing a set of JDBC drivers.
NOTE: The DataSource interface, new in the JDBC 2.0 API, provides another way to connect to a data source. The use of a DataSource object is the preferred means of connecting to a data source.
As part of its initialization, the DriverManager class will attempt to load the driver classes referenced in the "jdbc.drivers" system property. This allows a user to customize the JDBC Drivers used by their applications. For example in your ~/.hotjava/properties file you might specify:
jdbc.drivers=foo.bah.Driver:wombat.sql.Driver:bad.taste.ourDriver
A program can also explicitly load JDBC drivers at any time. For example, the my.sql.Driver is loaded with the following statement:
Class.forName("my.sql.Driver");

Use of Macromedia JDBC Drivers is restricted

We are building a new CF9 server. We installed the developer version and things appeared to work OK. When we set our single-server license (single server, not Enterprise) we get this message when trying some of our queries against a SQL Server database (did not try against Oracle, we only use SQL Server for this application).
Error Executing Database Query.
Use of Macromedia JDBC Drivers is restricted. Drivers can only be used with Macromedia server products. Please check that your license supports the requested driver.
One of the other threads here indicates that JDBC drivers are only enabled for the Enterprise version. Another thread however seems to indicate that we would need to reinstall and make sure that the correct drivers were selected during the install process. This part *did* work during the developer period (which I believe enables all Enterprise features).
Can standard version support JDBC? If not, can we use something else than JDBC? We don't want Enterprise.

First, yes, CF Standard supports JDBC. All CF database connections, regardless of version or license, use JDBC. The difference between Standard and Enterprise with regard to JDBC drivers is limited to the bundled Oracle driver included with Enterprise, Developer and Trial - this is not available for Standard.
Second, there's no relevant option for which JDBC drivers you get during the install process, regardless of version. There is an option for the JDBC-ODBC bridge, SequeLink, but that's not relevant to this.
Now, to fix your problem. First, make absolutely sure you're not using the Oracle driver! I know you said you're not, but better safe than sorry.
After that, the easiest approach would probably be to just completely uninstall CF and reinstall it with the correct license - at least, that would be the quickest without doing additional digging. However, I'm sure with a bit of tinkering you can fix your problem without uninstalling - I'm just not sure on the direction and amount of time that tinkering would take.
Alternatively, you could open a support ticket with Adobe, although honestly it would probably take you less time to just uninstall and reinstall CF.

Upgrade from CF 8 to CF 10 Enterprise or Standard?

Trying to decide whether to go with CF10 Enterprise or Standard. If we were to develop our web applications using the additional features that only Enterprise provides and a client wants to host the site on their own server, would they have to be licensed for CF 10 Enterprise to be able to use the added features of our application or would they be able to run the cheaper CF 10 Standard version?
