Adding Data Sources for ColdFusion
The process for adding a data source in the ColdFusion Administrator is the same,
whether you use an ODBC, OLE DB, or native driver. The following procedure adds
an ODBC data source that uses a SQL Server driver.
To add a data source to ColdFusion:
1Open the ColdFusion Administrator.
2 Under Data Sources, click a link to specify a type of data source to add:
ODBC
OLE DB (available only on Windows NT/2000)
Native
The Data Sources page displays Data Source Names (DSNs) of that type that are
available to ColdFusion:
3 Enter a name for the new data source and select a driver from the drop-down list.
Note
Do not name a ColdFusion data source Registry or Cookie; these words are
reserved for use by ColdFusion.
4Click Add.
