Coming from a Clipper and FoxPro background, I bought and installed
Advantage Database Server but never got around to getting it setup with
Cold Fusion (client decided to go with SQL Server).
But, talking with the folks at Extended Systems (vendor for Advantage
Database Server), they assured me that it will work via their ODBC driver.
However, since the ODBC driver is not in the CF Admin ODBC picklist, you
will probably have to configure it like I did with MySQL and its ODBC
driver.
I gave a paper at the Annapolis Cold Fusion User Group meeting May 24th on
what I did to get MySQL Database Server configured with CF. Follow that
analogy and I think you will be able to get Advantage Database Server
configured. The Extended Systems Folks said they would help, but I never
got around to asking them for assistance. Their 800 number is 800-235-7576.
If you would like the paper, it will be up on the Annapolis User Group Site
soon http://www.ancfug.com/meetings/ or just email me back and I will send
it to you -- it's about 900mb so I didn't want to send it out via my 56k
line until I am sure you are interested.

Subject: CF with Advantage Database Server ? Anyone?
I am faced with a customer that is needing a coldfusion powered site, but
his company uses a database I've never heard of called "Advantage Database
Server". It does have OLEDB and ODBC capabilities, but am unsure as if
ColdFusion could handle this project.
I thought I'd ask everyone here and see if anyone has had experience with
this database and if it could be done.
There is more information on this database at:

ODBC/OLE Support at:

Please reply if you can help.
Thanks!
