In the example I specified, a datasource variable.
First you have to put it into an application variable, so code similar to
this goes into the Application.cfm :
<cflock>
<cfif isDefined("Application.dsn")>
<cfset application.dsn = "mydatasource">
</cfif>
</cflock>
Now you have to lock all your query statements every time you reference
the variable:
<cflock>
<cfquery datasource="#application.dsn#">
</cfquery>
</cflock>
In this case, you have added additional locking code, which takes
additional processing time, with no real added benefit for storing the
datasource information in an application variable.
