My last post might have been a bit vauge, here goes round 2:

- I have CF8 installed and working great on a RHEL5 server
- How do I enable ODBC through the Data Source option?

Thank you,

~ Jon

Hi Jon,

I don't think you can enable ODBC throught the Datasource Option for CF in Unix(flavor) Environment. It is only available on Windows.

Just curious, why do you want to use ODBC? Previous test shows that it is much slower than the JDBC Drivers provided in CF. What DB are you trying to connect it to?

We are having a problem with unsigned bigint values being converted into scientific notation when grabbed from MySQL via JDBC...I was hoping ODBC might be a good workaround.

Thanks for the input,

~ Jon
