Howdy, I finally have an opportunity to get my feet wet using client variables and have some questions. I have a Forums app (fbOpenForums) running fine locally, but have a question about the database storage part. Reading thru the WROX book Professional ColdFusion 5 last night, the author states (on page 386):
"There is only one requirement for the client variables database: it must be empty. Create a blank database and call it ClientVariables. It is absolutely imperative that you do not create any tables or objects within this database. ColdFusion will enter the required tables once we are done configuring ColdFusion Administrator to use our new data source." So, before I read this, I had already created the client variables storage tables, using CF Administrator, in an existing database where my Forums app will be integrated with another site. It seems to be working fine. Can anyone explain why the client variables need to be stored in a separate data source and not combined with a pre-existing data source? Also, when I'm ready to go live with the production version on my site, this will be hosted with a 3rd party hosting company. How do they handle the issue of having a separate data source for storing client variables? Anyone know about that?
