>From a provider's viewpoint. On our shared server, each site is permitted two verity collections set up by the server admin. CFregistry is disabled as a security issue as are several common low level Tags. Developers therefore, must conform their code to a standard that will not only protect the integrity of the server but avoid very long running queries, infinite loops, untrapped errors, etc.
This gives the developer a more restrictive framework than they may be accustomed to on a development machine. It also enforces clean coding and discourages sloppy code, such as never-expiring variables, cookies, no onexit trapping, etc. ===================================== Douglas White group Manager mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.samcfug.org ===================================== ----- Original Message ----- From: "Stephen Moretti" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, December 12, 2002 3:51 AM Subject: Re: Verity Newbie | > | > I've never actually had to use Verity... until now.
