Thanks for the very helpful and almost immediate feedback -- you guys are
great...
Seems concensus is that I should be running MDAC 2.5 with my present CF
4.5.1 and VFP/Access database environment.
Conversly with SQL Server 2000 database backend, I should go to MDAC 2.6
and the latest patches for CF.
Regarding Licensing of SQL Server 2000, I called Microsoft and they
indicated all I really needed was one license of SQL Server 2000 -- since
Cold Fusion is the user as far as SQL Server is concerned (not the 50 or
more users hitting Cold Fusion via the net).
Hence, at minimum, the Standard Edition of SQL Server 2000 (Part Number
228-00782) will do at a cost of $665.00 -- so they said.
The Standard Edition of SQL Server also comes with the Personal Edition of
SQL Server 2000 -- which may be the same version that ships with Visual
Studio (hence free - sorta) and can be managed via Access 2000. Not sure
on this last issue -- especially the how to part. Guess this means you can
install the Standard Edition on your web server that folks in the
hinterland access via your Cold Fusion app and also install the Personal
Edition on your development box -- also for a cost of just $665.
Did this doggie get it right???
