Installing updated Oracle JDBC Drivers

If you need to install an updated Oracle JDBC driver (i.e. Oracle 12g), 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 (odbc6.jar for Java 1.6 or odbc7.jar for Java 1.7) and uploading the file into your "jars" directory (next to your htdocs directory). Once the file is uploaded you'll need to restart your Coldfusion instance using the Hosting Dashboard.
