Looks good. > My questions are: > > What interface should I use -- the CFX custom tag or cfobject? > Is it more likely that a remote shared host would install one or the > other? Customtag. I would expect that this is most usefull in a shared hosting environment, where access to the database with tools like Enterprise manager, SQL+ and psql is restricted and no sane admin would permit cfobject on a shared host. The other option would be to make a nice remotely accessible CFC from it. Then the admin could install it in a separate directory, deny access to it through direct inclusion for other users and make it available as a web service. I imagine some of the more capable Flash programmers could build a pretty cool universal database administrator from it :-) Jochem ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.
