Connecting to Oracle R3 (8.1.7), Oracle 9i
Use the settings in the following table to connect ColdFusion to Oracle R3 (8.1.7),
Oracle 9i data sources:
Setting
Description
CF Data Source
Name
The data source name (DSN) used by ColdFusion to connect to the
data source.
SID Name
The Oracle System Identifier that refers to the instance of the Oracle
database software running on the server. 'ORCL' is the default.
Server
The name of the server that hosts the database that you want to use.
If the database is local, enclose the word local in parentheses.
Port
The number of the TCP/IP port that the server monitors for
connections.
Username
The user name that ColdFusion passes to the JDBC driver to
connect to the data source if a ColdFusion application does not
supply a user name—for example, in a
cfquery
tag.
Password
The password that ColdFusion passes to the JDBC driver to
connect to the data source if a ColdFusion application does not
supply a password—for example, in a
cfquery
tag.
Description
(Optional) A description for this connection.
Maintain
Connections
ColdFusion establishes a connection to a data source for every
operation that requires one. Enable this option to improve
performance by caching the data source connection.
Timeout (min)
The maximum number of minutes after the data source connection
is made that you want ColdFusion to cache a connection after it is
used.
Interval (sec)
The time (in seconds) that the server waits between cycles to check
for expired data source connections to close.
Disable Connections
If selected, suspends all client connections.
Login Timeout (sec)
The number of seconds before ColdFusion times out the data
source connection login attempt.
CLOB
Select to return the entire contents of any CLOB/Text columns in
the database for this data source. If unchecked, ColdFusion
retrieves the amount specified in the Long Text Buffer setting.
BLOB
Select to return the entire contents of any BLOB/Image columns in
the database for this data source. If unchecked, ColdFusion
retrieves the amount specified in the Blob Buffer setting.
LongText Buffer (chr)
The default buffer size, used if Enable Long Text Retrieval(CLOB) is
not selected. Default is 65000 bytes.
BLOB Buffer (bytes)
The default buffer size, used if Enable binary large object retrieval
(BLOB) is not selected. Default is 65000 bytes.
Allowed SQL
The SQL operations that can interact with the current data source.
