After creating a ColdFusion data source, use it to connect to the database in Dreamweaver.

Open any ColdFusion page in Dreamweaver, then open the Databases panel (Window > Databases). Your ColdFusion data sources should appear in the panel.

If the data sources do not appear, complete the checklist in the panel. Make sure that Dreamweaver knows where to find the ColdFusion data sources. In the Testing Server category of the Site Definition dialog box, specify the site’s root folder on the computer running ColdFusion.
