I'm writing a very light intranet app myself using BD (and MySQL). Don't think I'm missing anything, but there's a table of differences from CF somewhere on the New Atlanta site (or maybe in the download docs)

I'm strongly leaning toward using Blue Dragon. What is the eligibility criteria for the free edition? The website seems to suggest that non-SSL use is free. The only tag I would miss with the free edition is cfdocument, but it's not a deal breaker. Are there any other things that I am likely to miss in wandering outside of the CF server green zone? I've pretty much settled on SQL Server 2005 Express, although I will have to use CF scheduled tasks for automation instead of DTS (SSIS). Thanks all. -----Original Message----- From: John Paul Ashenfelter [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, September 07, 2007 12:47 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Light-duty CF intranet server?

I've got a client that's repurposed their "main" application for a couple of very small state agency clients using a similar setup. Their big version runs on a 2 member cluster of CF7/Win2k3 Web Edition/Apache2 with a MSQQL2000Std/Win2k3Std db server all on medium-sized configurations of Dell 1850 racks. The small installation of the same software uses a Dell 740 rackmount (P4, SATA RAID1) running Win2k3 Web/Apache2/MSSQL2005Express all on one box. That's a glorified rackmounted desktop machine :) Cost for the box+os was something like $1200 when purchased a few years ago. As an aside, the only serious limits for MSSQL2005 Express are the 4gb per database limit and potentially the 1 CPU limit (keeps the server cheap though -- no need for dual proc since you can't use it directly, though the 2nd proc will help CF). And the best news is you can implement this on a fairly vanilla desktop to get started assuming you can deal with the whole data redundancy issue (a nightly backup may be good enough if you don't need sophisticated RAID reliability). -- John Paul Ashenfelter CTO/Transitionpoint (blog) http://www.ashenfelter.com (email) [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.
