Using the Data Sources Options

ColdFusion uses data sources to interact with databases. ColdFusion supports ODBC and OLE-DB data sources, as well as native drivers for Sybase and Oracle. ODBC data sources are typically created and managed using the ODBC applet in the Windows Control Panel. However, as the Windows Control Panel is inaccessible from remote computers, the ColdFusion Administrator has its own interface for creating and configuring ODBC data sources.
