CF Data Source Name
|
The data source name (DSN) that ColdFusion
uses to connect to the data source.
|
ODBC DSN
|
Select the ODBC DSN to connect to ColdFusion.
|
Trusted Connection
|
Specifies whether to use domain user account
access to the database. Only valid for SQL Server.
|
User name
|
The user name that ColdFusion passes to
the JDBC driver to connect to the data source if a ColdFusion application
does not supply a user name (for example, in a cfquery tag).
|
Password
|
The password that ColdFusion passes to the
JDBC driver to connect to the data source if a ColdFusion application
does not supply a password (for example, in a cfquery tag).
|
Description
|
(Optional) A description for this connection.
|
Connection String
|
A field that passes database-specific parameters,
such as login credentials, to the data source.
|
Return Timestamp as String
|
Enable this option if your application retrieves
Date/Time data and then reuses it in SQL statements without applying
formatting (using functions such as DateFormat, TimeFormat,
and CreateODBCDateTime).
|
Limit Connections
|
Specifies whether ColdFusion limits the
number of database connections for the data source. If you enable
this option, use the Restrict Connections To field to specify the
maximum.
|
Restrict Connections To
|
Specifies the maximum number of database
connections for the data source. To use this restriction, enable
the Limit Connections option.
|
Maintain Connections
|
ColdFusion establishes a connection to a
data source for every operation that requires one. Enable this option
to improve performance by caching the data source connection.
|
Timeout (min)
|
The number of minutes that ColdFusion MX
maintains an unused connection before destroying it.
|
Interval (min)
|
The time (in minutes) that the server waits
between cycles to check for expired data source connections to close.
|
Disable Connections
|
If selected, suspends all client connections.
|
Login Timeout (sec)
|
The number of seconds before ColdFusion
times out the attempt to log in to the data source connection.
|
CLOB
|
Select to return the entire contents of
any CLOB/Text columns in the database for this data source. If not selected,
ColdFusion retrieves the number of characters specified in the Long
Text Buffer setting.
|
BLOB
|
Select to return the entire contents of
any BLOB /Image columns in the database for this data source. If not
selected, ColdFusion retrieves the number of characters specified
in the BLOB Buffer setting.
|
LongText Buffer
|
The default buffer size; used if Enable
Long Text Retrieval (CLOB) is not selected. The default value is 64000 bytes.
|
BLOB Buffer
|
The default buffer size; used if the BLOB
option is not selected. The default value is 64000 bytes.
|
Allowed SQL
|
The SQL operations that can interact with
the current data source.
|
Validation query
|
Called when a connection from the pool is
resued. This can slow query response time because an additional
query is generated. Configure this just before restarting the database
to verify all connections, but remove the validation query after
restarting the database to avoid any performance loss.
