# 1.Application.cfc

The following are vanilla configurations for enabling the ORM in ColdFusion:

```
// Enable ORM
this.ormEnabled       = true;
// ORM Datasource
this.datasource          = "contacts";
// ORM configuration settings
this.ormSettings      = {
    // Location of your entities, default is your convention model folder
    cfclocation = ["models"],
    // Choose if you want ORM to create the database for you or not?
    dbcreate    = "none",
    // Log SQL or not
    logSQL         = true,
    // Don't flush at end of requests, let Active Entity manage it for you
    flushAtRequestEnd = false,
    // Don't manage session, let Active Entity manage it for you
    autoManageSession = false,
    // Active ORM events
    eventHandling       =  true,
    // Use the ColdBox WireBox Handler for events
    eventHandler = "cborm.models.EventHandler"
};
```

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://coldbox-orm.ortusbooks.com/v1.x/active-entity/1.application.cfc.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
