data source if a ColdFusion application does not supply a password (for
example, in a tag).
cfquery
(Optional) A description for this connection.
A field that passes database-specific parameters, such as login credentials, to
the data source.
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.

ColdFusion MX establishes a connection to a data source for every operation
that requires one. Enable this option to improve performance by caching the data
source connection.
Enables reuse of prepared statements (that is, stored procedures and queries
that use the
cfqueryparam
application, start by setting it to the sum of the following:
• Unique tags that use the
cfquery
• Unique
