Thanks Paul, I wasn't aware that you could do that with MSSQL. Does that allow you to get around those times when CF has still got a DB connection open? The example I gave was just that, an example. There are plenty more such as the ability to dump a database table to an SQL script. That can be handy if you need to send some sample data to another developer. Again, these are things that are handy for a developer. They don't necessarily translate to making it a better DB for live sites, but I still stand by my point that there are times when MySQL will work better for you and times when it won't. The same applies to other options like Hibernate, Prevayler, PostgreSQL, Cloudbase, Oracle etc. Spike -- -------------------------------------------- Stephen Milligan Code poet for hire http://www.spike.org.uk Do you cfeclipse? http://cfeclipse.tigris.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:196332 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
