It depends a bit on the relative capabilities of the machines on which CF and Oracle are installed. In our case, we run a Sun E20K for Oracle and the webserver is just a Sun 280R, so I try make the DB do as much work as I can. In many cases Oracle is going to be better at whatever DB data manipulation you want to do than CF, especially if you write PL/SQL to get things done in Oracle.
However, yes, you can UNION in a QoQ if you need to. I'd still prefer to do it in Oracle directly. -----Original Message----- From: Ben Sauer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, 31 May 2005 12:36 To: CF-Newbie Subject: Oracle Versus Cold Fusion I'm new to ColdFusion, but have used Oracle for a while. I need to write a pretty complex statement. It's kind of ugly to write in Oracle but well within my abilities. The question I have is how will the performance compare with Oracle doing all the work compared with having ColdFusion do the work? Can I do a "query of queries" and join two oracle queries? Anybody point me towards a good tutorial for this? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Purchase Studio MX from House of Fusion, a Macromedia Authorized Affiliate and support the CF community. http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=50 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:15:1040 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/15 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:15 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.15 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
