your database doesnt have to be on the same box as CF. i have a solaris CF box hitting a NT/SQLServer DB and it works fine. but anyway if youhave to have both on 1 machine MySQL works on both.

I have been developing CF on NT using SQLserver and Access, but now I have to build an application that will be hosted on a solaris box. The box doesn't have anything yet, so ideally I'm trying to find a database that I can develop on my NT development server and publish to the unix box. Any suggestions on a good cross-platform database solution? :--)) Rob -----Original Message----- From: Alex [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, February 22, 2001 1:30 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: [OT: Cheaper Alternative to SQL Server 2000] postgresSQL "Jason Larson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Sorry about the OT post. I was wondering if someone could give me some feedback on a cheaper alternative to SQL Server. I am on a limited budget to create my own webserver and I have only experience in developing with CF and SQL Server. I really can't afford the $5,000 that Microsoft wants for SQL Server 2000. Anybody have any suggestions? Thanks for your time Jason Larson [EMAIL PROTECTED] 406-728-4422 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.
