I am trying to figure out the technical ramifications of defining the username and password for a specific DSN in a separate text file and how it may relate to connection pooling v. supplying the user/pass directly in the DSN. Once the file is loaded, user and password are passed to cfqueries using application variables.
If the user/pass is defined externally, can connections in the same pool be re-used? If the user/pass is added to the DSN, the user/pass removed from the external text file and the cfquery strings still contain the Application variables for them, what happens to the connection pool? The reason I am trying to wrap my head around this is that our datasource (Oracle) has an increasing number of connections that are never released. Over time, the application becomes sluggish. It also uses stored procs. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;192386516;25150098;k Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:303895 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
