how to use tns entries with macromedia drivers for Oracle

Question

We are currently forced to use macromedia drivers on ColdFusion in order to connect to Oracle databases. The jdbc connection url is like:

jdbc:macromedia:ora         


        

Answer 1

We just figured out that the following syntax works:

jdbc:macromedia:oracle:TNSNamesFile=C:\\Oracle\\product\\11.2.0\\client_1\\network\\admin\\tnsnames.ora; TNSServerName=tnsentry
