Multiple datasources on Application.cfc file

Question

Is it possible to list multiple datasources on a
Application.cfc file? If not would I just have to create a sub
folder, create another Application.cfc and then that will control
the folders below it?

Answer 1

quote:
For instance I set my datasource in the the application.cfc
<cfset REQUEST.dataSource = "mydata">
REquest.dataSource is just a variable name, you can have as
many
variable names as you like to define datasource strings.
Hard Coded Variable Names:
<cfset REQUEST.dataSourceOne = 'aDSN'>
<cfset REQUEST.dataSourceTwo = 'bDSN'>
Array Variable:
<cfset request.dataSource = arrayNew(1)>
<cfset request.dataSource[1] = 'aDSN'>
<cfset request.dataSource[2] = 'bDSN'>
Structure Variable:
<cfset request.dataSource = StructNew()>
<cfset request.dataSource.firstDSN = 'aDSN'>
<cfset request.dataSource['secondDSN'] = 'bDSN'>
A list:
This would really suck. I can not think of any good reason to
use this
horrible method.
<cfset request.dataSource = 'aDSN,bDSN'>
You would then access these values like this.
<cfquery
datasoruce="#listGetAt(request.dataSource,2)#"...>
Define as many Datasources as you need and use them in your
code. Its
just data.
Go whole hog and build a CFC that has methods that you can
pass a
parameter into and it will return the DSN.
<cfquery
datasource="#myCFCvariable.getDSN(aValue)#"...>
OK! This one is probably overkill.
