You don't say what DB you are using but every DB can be password protect,
now in a shared hotsing environment the directory you have your files should
be that you are the only one who has access to these files to read anyway:-)
So setting variables in application.cfm or somewhere else, then using
cfquery name="search" datasource="#datasource#" username="#username#"
password="#password#"> would stop the values of username and password from
being displayed.

Subject: Password Protecting a DB/DSN
In a shared hosting environment with critical data, how can you be sure that
your database(s) are not accessible by anyone else via CF, CFQUERY, etc?
How can you password protect a DSN/DB so that data is not allowed to be
pulled from the DB without supply the password in your code, etc... we don't
want anyone quering our DB and getting our data do we? It seems like if
they knew our DSN name, they could do pretty much whatever they wanted. :-)
Thanks and let me know,
By the way, I'm wondering how to do this with ACCESS2k.
Jake
