ColdFusion provides a wonderful framework to perform database queries against a database. These database interconnection includes many activities like - authentication, serving content, logging user feedback and much more.

To perform operations in ColdFusion framework, an application developer has to operate the queries. To perform the queries, it is necessary to make a datasource in ColdFusion. A data source provides the best possible interface between the database and CFML administrator.

There are many steps to be taken to make a ColdFusion datasource -

Login to ColdFusion administrator.

click on data source and add new datasource option.

give the name to datasource and driver type.

click to add option and then to show advanced settings.

enter the details of the database and click submit.

After creating the database, ColdFusion checks the connection between the driver and database. If all the details are true, then it successfully establishes the connection.
