Coldfusion & Mysql - Noob Questions

Cold Fusion sets up all it's
Cold Fusion sets up all it's datasources in the Cold Fusion Administrator Panel. There wouldn't be (or shouldn't be) any connection strings in the code itself; They should all be in your admin panel.
For instance, if you set up a datasource and named it "my_datasource" in the admin panel, you could run a query such as:
CODE
<cfquery name="myquery" datasource="mydatasource">
-- my sql statements
</cfquery>
-- my sql statements
</cfquery>
Coldfusion can be confusing, but it is a VERY powerful tool.

Ah, ok...From what your
Ah, ok...From what your saying, I'm guessing the code isn't portable like PHP, where i can just open up a PHP file and edit it.
So if I'm working strictly with coldfusion code only (just the website files, no admin panel or anything) then there's really nothing I can do.

Anyway there is a website that I am working on that was moved from company A to company B. It is MySQL driven and I'm having a time finding any MySQL database connection entries. I have a sneaking suspision that its still using a DB over at company A, but I need to find some kind of connection string to see.
So, in coldfusion, is there any kind of connection string I should be looking for in the code?
Thanks,
