Sorry to disappoint you. Do you have access to the CF Administrator? Can you verify what driver it shows to be in use, whether it's the driver that shipped with it or a 3rd party type 4 JDBC driver (which is what I've installed for MySQL on previous versions)? I wasn't under the impression a MySQL driver shipped with RedSky, although I've been wrong before. :) > Can someone help me make sense of this? > Also, where can I find the *documented* "CFAdmin API" of > which you write?

I don't think it was introduced until Blackstone (CF7) so unfortunately I don't think you'll be able to use it yet.
