Coldfusion 8 driver for Mysql

Can I just use the driver Mysql (4/5)? And what is the "Driver Class" line?

I don't think you need to specify the driver class when you use the built-in driver, MySQL (4/5). Setting the datasource should proceed like this

Add New Data Source
=====================
Data Source Name: MyDSN
Driver: MySQL(4/5)

Press Add button. It takes you to the next page.

CF Data Source Name:MyDSN
Database: myDatabase
Server:127.0.0.1
Port:3306
Username:CFMySQLAccount
Password:pw4CFonMySQL

Just use the MySQL 4/5 type
