Pointing your Coldfusion code to an external SQL Server/IP?

    Hello CF gurus! Need help quick!

    So right now I have a cf server set up on this crappy provider that only allocates 300mb max. I have this new code that needs to import a lot of data and I'm pretty sure that it will be definitely over 300mb. So my options are limited now, though I do have a secondary coldfusion server that has about 2 gigs of space (I don't use it because it's expensive to maintain).

    So what I did was I called my 300mb CF server company , the crappy one, to see if they can point an extra DSN to this external 2gig server/IP, and they said no of course....so now the question is....

    Is there a way in CF to point my data by way of an external DSN that is sitting on this 2gig server? If you guys can help it'll be great!!:)

    Thank you,
    Tasha

    Tasha,

    Couple questions? Is the server shared or dedicated? What platform are you using?
