The password (16-character limit) that ColdFusion MX passes to the

(Optional) A description for this connection.
Determines whether server cursors are used for SQL queries.
The Direct method provides more efficient retrieval of data when you
retrieve record sets in a forward-only direction and you limit your SQL
Server connection to a single open SQL statement at a time. This is

The Cursor method lets you have multiple open SQL statements on a
connection. This is not typical for ColdFusion applications, unless you use
pooled statements.
Specifies whether ColdFusion MX limits the number of database
connections for the data source. If you enable this option, use the Restrict
Connections to field to specify the maximum.
Specifies the maximum number of database connections for the data
