- This differs from Coldfusion 9 due to the fact that Adobe does not officially support Oracle 12g database connections with their delivered Oracle drivers.
- Our initial testing does show the delivered Oracle drivers can work with Oracle 12g databases, however we have not fully exercised the drivers nor can we provide support if issues are found when connecting to a 12g database with the Adobe delivered drivers.
- Customers will need to download the Oracle driver for oracle.com (file name ojdbc7.jar for Java 1.7 support). We would recommend the ojdbc7.jar file for Oracle 12g databases since all hosted Oracle databases will be upgraded from 11.x to 12 in the coming months (Cornell Stack comes with the ojdbc7.jar file already installed). Please contact dba-support@cornell.edu for more information on when you Oracle database will be upgraded.

- The Cornell Stack provides the ojdbc7.jar in the Coldfusion path for customers to use.
- To If you want to install a newer Oracle JDBC driver (i.e. Oracle 12g)than what we provide, you'll need to upload a "jar" file that contains the updated driver to your hosting environment. This can be done by downloading the driver from Oracle's website (odbc7.jar for Java 1.7) and uploading the file into your "jars" directory (next to your htdocs directory) via your webdav client. Once the file is uploaded you'll need to restart your Coldfusion instance using the Hosting Dashboard
- When creating your DSN for the Oracle JDBC driver you will need to specify the "Other" Data Source when configuring Coldfusion via CFADMIN
- In CFADMIN, go to Data & Services then click on Data Sources
