    Default ODBC datasource not working

    I'm running ColdFusionMX7 and I'm trying to set up an ODBC connection.

    I've manually installed some new ODBC drivers on the server, and I've set up
    the machine ODBC connection (which works fine from that machine - tnsping is OK
    and the TestConnection is OK, so I know both that the target DB is findable and
    I'm using a valid username and password).

    When I try to use that ODBC connection I get the error:
    java.sql.SQLException: [Macromedia][SequeLink JDBC Driver][ODBC
    Socket][Oracle][ODBC][Ora]ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error
    The root cause was that: java.sql.SQLException: [Macromedia][SequeLink JDBC
    Driver][ODBC Socket][Oracle][ODBC][Ora]ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error

    Any suggestions on what's wrong and how to fix it? Thanks!

    I highly suggest using JDBC. ODBC has issues, especially with dealing with long strings and BLOBs/CLOBs. Also, when using ODBC, you're going through one more step (which is an ODBC/JDBC bridge).
