Hey guys, For some reason I thought this could be done already in cfquery. I was hoping to make an app that didn't need a DSN or one created for it through the admin api. I was planning to do something like below. Of course the cfquery attribute collection would have all the necessary data for a dsn-less connection like user,pass,host,dbname, and port.
<cfquery attributeCollection="#application.globalDS#"> </cfquery> Is there any serious reason we don't have this type of functionality in OpenBD? In most cases I would prefer a DSN, but why should it be an all or nothing type thing? I think it could be useful for people on hosted accounts. I've used several coldfusion hosts in the past and creating DSNs is usually a pain. Also I see some work arounds online for this type of functionality through cfscript or custom tags, but this is something I think should be incorporated in cfquery itself. I wouldn't feel comfortable using custom tags for queries all around my app. So what do you guys think? -- online documentation: http://openbd.org/manual/ google+ hints/tips: https://plus.google.com/115990347459711259462 http://groups.google.com/group/openbd?hl=en
