When creating a datasource in CF Administrator, under the advanced settings,
there is a check box where you can select "maintain database connections, etc."

But your friend is wrong anyway.

  Subject: Understanding/Defending Coldfusion connections

  OK so a friend of mine at an office I used to work at
  is having trouble defending coldfusion over dot net

  he tells me that this voice of 'authority' (its
  strange that a man that speaks with confidence is
  never questioned)

  "said cold fusion ****[is no good] because it keeps a
  database connection open all the time and that slows
  down the program/app and server"

  This particular web professional is converting all his
  CF to dot net, because of this defense.

  I've been briefly looking around so that I can
  understand database connections better and respond to
  him with the voice of reason (also to possibly
  optimise the performance of the access back end I have
  been stuck with on my current contract).

  But I keep coming up with help files on configuring
  datasources instead of information on how cf connects
  to datasources.

  Anybody have a good reference I can point to.
