Adobe Coldfusion Server Installation Guide

Right-click in the Servers view, and select Add Server. Select Import Configuration From RDS Server, and select the RDS server that you want to add to the Server view from the drop-down list. To modify the RDS settings, specify changes in the Modify ColdFusion Server Setup dialog box, and click Finish. ColdFusion uses the Web Server Configuration Tool to configure an external web server with the modules and settings that the connector requires connect to ColdFusion. You can run the Web Server Configuration Tool through either the command-line interface or the graphical user interface (GUI).

Adobe Coldfusion Application Server

Setting	Description
CF Data Source Name	The data source name (DSN) that ColdFusion uses to connect to the data source.
Database	The database to which this data source connects.
Server	The name of the server that hosts the database that you want to use. If the database is local, enclose the word local in parentheses. If you are running SQL Server locally (or using MSDE), specify 127.0.0.1 for the server name instead of the actual instance name.
Port	The number of the TCP/IP port that the server monitors for connections.
User name	The user name that ColdFusion passes to the JDBC driver to connect to the data source if a ColdFusion application does not supply a user name (for example, in a `cfquery` tag).
Password	The password that ColdFusion passes to the JDBC driver to connect to the data source if a ColdFusion application does not supply a password (for example, in a `cfquery` tag).
Description	(Optional) A description for this connection.
Connection String	A field that passes database-specific parameters, such as login credentials, to the data source.
Select Method	Determines whether server cursors are used for SQL queries. The Direct method provides more efficient retrieval of data when you retrieve recordsets in a forward-only direction and you limit your SQL Server connection to a single open SQL statement at a time. This is typical for ColdFusion applications. The Cursor method lets you have multiple open SQL statements on a connection. This is not typical for ColdFusion applications, unless you use pooled statements.
Limit Connections	Specifies whether ColdFusion limits the number of database connections for the data source. If you enable this option, use the Restrict Connections To field to specify the maximum.
Restrict Connections To	Specifies the maximum number of database connections for the data source. To use this restriction, enable the Limit Connections option.
Maintain Connections	ColdFusion establishes a connection to a data source for every operation that requires one. Enable this option to improve performance by caching the data source connection.
String Format	Enable this option if your application uses Unicode data in DBMS-specific Unicode data types, such as National Character or nchar.
Max Pooled Statements	Enables reuse of prepared statements (that is, stored procedures and queries that use the `cfqueryparam` tag). Although you tune this setting based on your application, start by setting it to the sum of the following: Unique `cfquery` tags that use the `cfqueryparam` tag Unique `cfstoredproc` tags
Timeout (min)	The number of minutes that ColdFusion MX maintains an unused connection before destroying it.
Interval (min)	The time (in minutes) that the server waits between cycles to check for expired data source connections to close.
Disable Connections	If selected, suspends all client connections.
Login Timeout (sec)	The number of seconds before ColdFusion times out the data source connection login attempt.
CLOB	Select to return the entire contents of any CLOB/Text columns in the database for this data source. If not selected, ColdFusion retrieves the number of characters specified in the Long Text Buffer setting.
BLOB	Select to return the entire contents of any BLOB/ Image columns in the database for this data source. If not selected, ColdFusion retrieves the number of characters specified in the BLOB Buffer setting.
LongText Buffer	The default buffer size, used if Enable Long Text Retrieval (CLOB) is not selected. The default value is `64000` bytes.
BLOB Buffer	The default buffer size, used if the BLOB option is not selected. The default value is `64000` bytes.
Allowed SQL	The SQL operations that can interact with the current data source.
Validation query	Called when a connection from the pool is resued. This can slow query response time because an additional query is generated. Configure the validation query just before restarting the database to verify all connections, but remove the validation query after restarting the database to avoid any performance loss.
