Question

Connect to Database

For the past 5 years I been using DSN connections to connect to Oracle in my Cold Fusion. Is there any other way to connect in Cold Fusion MX 7 without using DSN?


<CFQUERY NAME="query_name" DATASOURCE="db_name">

SQL statements

</CFQUERY>


Maybe instead of System admins creating DSN, I can create the DSN in a Cold Fusion template?

Please advise.

    iirc, dynamic dsn has been removed from CF.
    you must create a cf dsn using cf administrator, or the admin API.
