The Connection String in ColdFusion
Michael Stillman gives us this offering, also in part II of Macromedia's series, "Working with Databases." This article discusses controlling ODBC databases with the connection string, a feature that was added to ColdFusion 5 by user request. ColdFusion 5 allows you to specify a connection string for ODBC data sources so that you can pass these attributes as name-value pairs (using the ODBC SQLDriverConnect API behind the scenes). Find out more about this and how to use it in the article below.
