Introduction to Database Tools
Studio’s visual database tools support application development using both local,
network, and remote data sources. Access to data sources becomes transparent when a
server is configured in Studio.
Studio's database tools support:
•
Remote database development
•
Data source schema and data browsing
•
Visual SQL statement building
For a full discussion of developing ColdFusion applications using data sources,
including requirements for native drivers, see Developing Web Applications with
ColdFusion.
Registering Data Sources
A 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 register a data source:
1. Open the ColdFusion Administrator.
2. Select the ODBC or native drivers page under the data sources heading.
3. Name the data source, select the appropriate driver, and click Add.
To test the connection, click Verify. A help message displays if the test connection fails.
For more information on managing data sources, see Administering ColdFusion Server.
Accessing Allaire Spectra data sources
Allaire Spectra data sources registered in the ColdFusion Administrator are viewable in
Studio. Select a data source from the dropdown list in the top pane of the Database tab
to see the database schema.
The SQL Builder, available on the Tools menu, gives you a visual interface for selecting
tables and writing and testing SQL statements for your applications. You can copy
completed SQL code blocks directly into your applications or insert them as part of a
CFQUERY tag.
