There's not a file system option I'm aware of. If you check "disable global client variable updates" in the client variable storage in the cf admin, that will (dramatically) reduce the amount of overhead on the db for client storage. Of course, obviously you can also store them in a separate database, theoretically on a different server. If you've got space nearby, even a significantly underpowered machine could handle the load for the client variables and take that load off your primary db server, and as long as you're using it exclusively to house your client db, you shouldn't have to worry (too much) about its performance.
hth Original Message ----------------------- I've been looking at PHP and I really like the filesystem option they have for its coldfusion client management counterpart. Is there some way I can have coldFusion store my client information in the filesystem rather than in the database? I can only assume it would speed up my database response if it wasn't doing selects and updates just to manage state. Also, the registry an session scopes aren't an option since I'm in a cluster.
