Connecting to the sample database (ColdFusion)

Connecting to the sample database (ColdFusion)

During installation, Dreamweaver copies a sample Microsoft Access database to your hard disk. This section describes how to create a connection to the sample database.

To create a database connection:

  1. If you’re using a remote computer as a server, copy the sample database to the remote computer. (See Setting up the database (server on a remote computer)).
  2. Create a ColdFusion data source and view the connection in Dreamweaver (see Connecting to the database).
