Re: CFQUERY accessing MS SQL DB on another CF server
I might also add that if you are on a MX 7 Ent box this is a great
example of how asynchronous cfm calls can really speed up an app. You
can make an async call to a cfc which would do the remote update, no
delays in your actual page rendering time and no try catch needed
around the call. These async calls are kick butt!

If I understand it right, you only need to have connect strings if the
database name is dynamic. I dont know much about them because I've
never needed to use them.

James, Exactly right. Also, I might add that if the server gets rooted and they get partial access to the file system, hard coding your DB login becomes an immediate target.

RE: CFQUERY accessing MS SQL DB on another CF server
Afaik the vast majority of ISP's aren't doing this. any decent ISP should -- perhaps -- but by and large ISP's don't take the time to really learn about the ins and outs of the server -- they're just trying to pay the rent, so it's a numbers game to them, and they often don't earn enough on shared hosting accounts to want to take the time to expand their knowledge of the server, and/or to take the time to set up a sandbox for each new account, particularly with their target market continually demanding lower and lower hosting fees. I need CF, SQL 200 and unlimited bandwidth - but if you charge $7 and your competito charges $5, I'm going to use your competitor ... it really doesn't encourage them to want to spend more time working on that account. Although there is something to be said for the old addage you get what you pay for. I'm not saying your wrong -- I'm just saying, it's not necessarily as black and white as it might seem.

Re: CFQUERY accessing MS SQL DB on another CF server
Oi... having an internet connection is a security risk. I locked my keys in the car the other night. I had to make a simple tool and slid it down between the body of the car and the top of the door, to hit the electric lock button. It took less than 30 seconds to steal my own car. But it was locked down, in my driveway... but who cares? It's out there and always at risk. Have a patio door? It's a security risk. Ever cross the street? That's not safe. Best practices and due dilligence are the only recourse in an unsecure, open world. So, which is more likely? Getting rooted or parsing someone else's pages? Or guessing at the DSNs of others? I don't know, I really don't (and I don't really care, either). What I do know is this... Having a CF Server (or Java, ISP, Oracle, Apache. IIS, or anything) and a DB that are on the internet are the basic security risk here, because the real jeopardy only comes when putting a system on the internet... so bickering over details is silly. *MY* ISP puts the passwords in the DSN, by default. So my pages have no access credentials in them. That's fine with me. I hate the extra typing, which is really my big motivation and has nothing to do with security... because on this topic, it's an utterly irrelevant issue. Upshot? Keep servers patched, updated, sandboxed, and so on so that WHEN you're broken into (note: NOT IF, but when) you'll at least be able to prove you maintained it as best as could be and shouldn't be liable for damages or losses... And the only way to create a connect-string-based DSN anymore is to use a JDBC connect string in the CFADMIN. If you google for JDBC and your driver you should be able to find syntax easily. I don't think it can be done from within CF these days, but it certainly can be done from the administrator DSN setup page. However, since you put the hostname/ip, username. password, port... why mess with JDBC connections when you can just use the form?

RE: CFQUERY accessing MS SQL DB on another CF server
IMO hard-coding a database username/password in your app is only a
security risk if the wrong people already have access to your file
system, in which case you likely have bigger issues than the database
username in your application code.
Many shared hosting providers don't include the username / password in
the DSN definition in the CF Admin (forcing you to use them in your
code) because that would allow anyone with a hosting account to
theoretically access another one of their client's databases by
guessing the DSN. Which could be a particularly dangerous thing if the
DSN names happen to be formulaic.
but I digress...
The connectionstring attribute of cfquery was (and I'm sure someone
will correct me if I'm wrong) an element of what were referred to as
dsn-less connections. That is, you could connect to a database
without first creating a DSN in the ColdFusion Administrator.
ColdFusion MX and later no longer include the dsn-less connections
feature -- where it got off to, why it got off there and if it will
ever come back are questions to be pondered.
In the meantime unfortunately the only answer is no, you can't do
that anymore.
Well, hard coding your SQL username password is a
security risk and IMHO
bad practice.
You should let the CFAdmin handle that for you.
