Hi Ted,
With the caveat that I don’t use Oracle (though that’s probably incidental)...

On the contrary, I think you should _only_ use Properties for your connection dictionary. One place, you know where it is, you can potentially override it when you need to (for example, with Properties.dev and Properties.ted).

It’s hard to say what was going on here.

I’d call it voodoo, but if it was me I would press on until I had the connection dictionary out of the model and into Properties, especially if, as you say, the model is in a framework. (How can you set the connection dictionary in the framework and be confident that will be appropriate for every app that uses the framework?)
