DataDirect JDBC driver and Oracle Database

[Cecil]

Hi Guys.

I friend of my is have an issue with DataDirect JDBC driver and he has email me the following error. I know nothing about JDBC and DataDirect products. What could cause and error like this?

From Verfication

Connection verification failed for data source: hq_oracle2
java.sql.SQLException: [Macromedia][Oracle JDBC Driver]No more data available to read.
The root cause was that: java.sql.SQLException: [Macromedia][Oracle JDBC Driver]No more data available to read

Obviously he should upgrade to Progress

That a very typical Microsoft answer. "Technically correct but absolutely useless."

The problem might be due to the incompatible of DataDirect and Oracle Linux.

DataDirect for Oracle free? Because it was bundled in with ColdFusion.
