The ## around the DSN are valid, especially if the #dsn# is a variable that
contain the real DSN. This variable could be set just about anywhere, but
is usually done in the Application.cfm (or other similar file) using the
syntax:
<cfparam name="dsn" default="mydsn">
This way, if you ever have to change the DSN, you only have to change it in
one place, as opposed to every single place you used that DSN, if it were
hard-coded. This is generally a good coding practice to follow.
