This one comes up from time to time. The best way to do it is with you chosen database's own development and management tools. If you use MS SQL Server Management Studio, they have integrated tools to copy a database. If you use Toad, they have something too. I have always had... let's say "limited" luck with those, but if you can get by with that, you should
Now, if you wanted to do this in CF, it probably means work. I actually have a semi-functioning model of downloading one database and applying it to another, even works across database engines (e.g. download from oracle and apply to derby). Plus it takes snapshots so you can save versions of the database, including basic schema snapshots that you can import into another database, too. Then I got distracted, lost interest and have a 75% finished program. I'd open source it, but like I said it's not fully functional (not even fully baked), and I don't know that there's a real market for it. Umm, I can probably hook you up with a copy, no promises that it will even compile. nathan strutz [http://www.dopefly.com/] [http://hi.im/nathanstrutz] On Fri, Feb 18, 2011 at 12:32 PM, Rob Voyle <robvo...@voyle.com> wrote: > > Hi folks > > What is the best way of downloading web database to a local desktop > machine. > > clients register for programs and the information is on the web database. > I want to use coldfusion to update my local desktop database > > Thanks > Rob > > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:342443 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
