Registering Data Sources  
 
 

A basic set of ODBC drivers and sample data is installed with all versions of ColdFusion. Native database drivers are installed with the Enterprise version and OLE-DB drivers are installed with the Professional and Enterprise versions. To work with your data sources, you must first register them with ColdFusion Server. To do this, open the ColdFusion Administrator and select the ODBC or native drivers page under the data sources heading. From there, you simply name the data source, select the appropriate driver, and click Add.

For more information on managing data sources, see Administering ColdFusion Server.

To test the connection, open the Verify Data Source page, select from the drop-down list and click Verify. A help message is generated if the test connection fails.

When these steps are completed, you can move to Studio to access the data source.
