ODBC Error, think it's bc of Application.cfm

Question

Ok I'm working on a small e-commerce project and it's been
about a year and a half since I've done programming with CF, so I'm
doing a lot of re-learning, basically everything and only remember
a very small bit, so basically I'm noob again.
OK I built my project, I'm using MySQL as my database
container. Everything runs perfectly fine on my local machine
server but when I go to upload it to my hosting provider. I get the
following error when I try to access the database on the hosting
provider.
Error Diagnostic Information
ODBC Error Code = S1000 (General error)
[MySQL][ODBC 3.51 Driver]Access denied for user 'ODBC'@'my IP
address' (using password: NO)
The error occurred while processing an element with a general
identifier of (CFQUERY), occupying document position (1:1) to
(1:54).
OK, my guess right now is that it has something to do with
the user and password authentication, and if that's the case, but
to be honest I have no idea whats going on, cause this problem
doesnt occur when I use PostgreSQL. I hope someone on here has been
through this and knows what's up.
Here's the code in my Application.cfm file
<cfapplication name="joecool-ecom" sessionmanagement="yes"
/>
<cfset Request.DSN = "joecool-ecom" />
<cfset REQUEST.BasePath =
GetDirectoryFromPath(GetCurrentTemplatePath())>
I'm completely lost and have been trying to figure this out
for a solid 7+ hours. I'm hoping that it's just something really
really lame and stupid that I'm doing wrong on my side and that it
can be fixed very easily, but part of me questions if my hosting
provider just plain sucks and that I may end up having to switch
providers or something.

Answer 1

well i found a solution and yes it was a b***...
It turns out it had something to do with ODBC on my hosting
provider and MySQL. I ran a test on PostgreSQL and it worked fine,
so I just redid my entire database into PostgreSQL and then changed
all my boolean crap in my code from 1 to TRUE and 0 to FALSE. It
sucked, but at least it works now.
If anyone has any experience with using ODBC with ColdFusion
for MySQL, if you have any ideas of why this error would occur,
please let me know. It has to do with it trying to login
anonymously and not using a PW, but I have no idea how to fix that
on a hosting provider. Talked to them and its just a bunch of
foreigners that don't know anything about computers so....
whatever.
Also if anyone knows any good hosting providers that keep
their ColdFusion current, please let me know. I'm getting away from
mine once my subscription runs out in a few more months. They're
still using ColdFusion 5, which sucks
