With Client variables, I believe you have to first have your datasource set up and working. THEN you go into the CFAdministrator and set up the Client vars.
It's a while since i set up Client vars, but if i recall correctly, it has to check the datasource when you 'submit' after changing the details of the client vars. One of hte options at that time is to let it create its own CFDATA and CFGLOBAL tables, and I'd recommend letting it do it. Then you know for sure its all going to work. But i dont believe client vars use any tricky sql at all, so it should work on any database that is avlid datasource for CF. It only does SQLinserts, deletes and selects.
