I've been trying to figure out why Macromedia discontinued providing a text driver with ColdFusion after version 5. All the documentation pointed towards accessing textfile databases in a different way, perhaps using the CFHTTP or CFFILE tag. But it's foggy at best, or at least what documentation I have found is unclear. I have tried setting up some 3rd party JDBC textfile drivers, but they are incredibly unstable and very slow. Unfortunately I dont control the text files, otherwise they would be in an oracle database, but also I need to access the information in these files in a timely manner. In some cases the information will have to be accessed and dynamically posted to a webpage. Does anyone have any suggestions for a reliable textfile driver or info on how one can query the info in a textfile database?
