Yup, I know exactly what you mean. I tried to connect ColdFusion to Oracle over half a year ago, and didn't succeed either. Actually, I shouldn't say *I* tried to - the effort was actually a combined one by me (a web programmer/developer, ostensibly), an Oracle DBA (generally held to be one of the best ones for about 2,000 miles) and a sysadmin. With a premium support contract from Allaire. ;)

We've since moved on to other solutions...
