Called when a connection from the pool is resued. This can slow query response time because an additional query
is generated. Specify the validation query before restarting the database to verify all connections, but remove the
validation query after restarting the database to avoid any performance loss.
Connecting to Microsoft Access with Unicode
Use the settings in the following table to connect ColdFusion to Microsoft Access with Unicode data sources (this is a
