A data source is a complete database configuration that uses a JDBC driver to communicate with a specific database. In ColdFusion, you must configure a data source for each database file that you want to use. After you configure a data source, the ColdFusion server is then capable of communicating with that data source through the JDBC driver.
You configure data sources in ColdFusion by using the ColdFusion administrator. Configuring Your Development Environment discusses how to configure the sample data source file that is supplied for use with Part II of this book. For more information about configuring a data source in ColdFusion, see Installing and Using ColdFusion MX or Developing ColdFusion MX Applications.
