I just naturally assumed that as a CF host, Hostcentric would have a
datasource set up as the default storage method. But that wasn't my
point. If they want to screw up their servers by using the registry
to store variables, that's their right. My point was, that they
didn't know how to set up a maintenance schedule that would keep the
database shrunk and weren't interested in learning how.
Client variables are an integral part of ColdFusion. I would never
charge my customers for SQL Server hosting just so they could use
client variables.
