Thanks for the followup, Jason. I installed a copy of the newest ColdFusion which is 11, on Windows 2012 and with it I'm able to connect using sybase.jdbc4.sqlanywhere.IDriver in the driver class.and URL jdbc:sqlanywhere:driver=SQL Anywhere 16 etc etc (I did discover that I needed to run the SQL Anywhere 16 install program on my ColdFusion server.. it wasn't enough to move sajdbc4.jar and dbjdbc16.dll (and a few others I can't now name) over to that server )
Am I correct in assuming this should be better than the JDBC-ODBC bridge?
Once we get thru testing our code on CF11 and moving it up to production, we'll get a chance to see if the connection problems are still there and if we need to try tuning the
Reuse Connection
Connection pool size
Connection pool timeout
parameters
Thanks again
