Hi,
ColdFusiontraining.com has a one week class that sounds like it would be
exactly what you are looking for. It's called Advanced Development with
SQL Server, Oracle, & ColdFusion 5. I've been considering taking it myself
(Although I'll probably end up using that money for some self-indulgent
reason).
Also check your local colleges and you'll probably find a database design
class as part of their Computer Science / Information
Technology majors. Usually this is a high level course, but as a
professional (I.E. someone who gets paid to do stuff like this ) you may be
able to sneak in without taking the 4 semesters of pre-requisites.
I heard it said (Perhaps on this list? ) that good database skills were
more important for ColdFusion development than knowing CFML.
