I seem to recall that CF writes those files on exit, so if you changed it while CF was running (and then restarted after saving), it's possible that it got reverted. That's just a faint glimmer on the edge of my consciousness though, and I don't have CF7 anywhere to test. Phil,

CF8 ships with the Connector/J drivers, so no need to futz around with it on that version. Phil,

When I add a new MySQL datasource using MySQL as the type it still uses the old driver class as org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver It seems that new MySQL datasources added after editing the xml file are being ignored and just using the default. Am I missing something else? OK I've edited my neo-query.xml file so that the MySQL driver class is using com.mysql.jdbc.Driver and restarted CF

It seems that new MySQL datasources added after editing the xml file are being ignored and just using the default. Am I missing something else?

They're portable (unlike ODBC), they're native Java (no context switches), and they come from MySQL AB. Walker,

I'm looking for reasons why to upgrade to J Connectors. Would it improve Selects and Inserts? Hello, Are the J Connectors faster than the 3.5.1 ODBC connector I have installed?

Would it improve Selects and Inserts?
