Manage Datasources

There are three commands to manage datasources.

List all datasources

cfconfig datasource list
cfconfig datasource list from=serverName
cfconfig datasource list from=/path/to/server/home

To receive the data back as JSON, use the --JSON flag.

cfconfig datasource list --JSON

Edit an existing or create a new datasource

Add a new datasource or update an existing datasource. Existing datasources will be matched based on the name. Valid dbdriver options are

  • MSSQL -- SQL Server driver

  • MSSQL2 -- jTDS driver

  • PostgreSql

  • Oracle

  • Other -- Custom JDBC URL

  • MySQL

cfconfig datasource save name=myDSN dbdriver=mysql host=localhost port=3306 database=myDB username=brad password=foobar
cfconfig datasource save name=myDS ... to=serverName
cfconfig datasource save name=myDS ... to=/path/to/server/home

Delete a datasource

Identify the datasource uniquely by the name.

cfconfig datasource delete foo
cfconfig datasource delete foo serverName
cfconfig datasource delete foo /path/to/server/home
