Now...... If you could create application specific DSN's like you can with mappings now......THAT would be a feature to push for in CF9 for sure! If there is one thing that IS a pain in the rear in CF is having to go into the admin to create/manage DSNs Steve -----Original Message----- From: cfaussie@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Barry Beattie Sent: Thursday, 4 September 2008 12:22 PM To: cfaussie@googlegroups.com Subject: [cfaussie] Re: Free Coldfusion For Education/Students etc... picture this: 2003: reluctant IT teacher being dragged kicking and screaming away from their beloved Microsoft product to teach ColdFusion (much humble pie consumed later, BTW) 120 students all studying how to build dynamic websites over seven classes in a single week. the lessons ran twice a week for over 40 weeks 5 different classrooms used as labs for students to go through lessons, as well as other tutorial labs. 4 hour lessons can you imagine what it's like to manage over 120 DSN's on all those (essentially public) lab machines - each with a copy of the DEV edition? it was a nightmare. we _bought_ a copy of CF6.1 professional just to teach those lessons. It should have been Enterprise, sure, but hey IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN FREE ... as it is now... finally. (too late, I've moved on and they teach PHP now) and I've also glossed over the other nightmare: managing dozens of students using Dreamweaver Ultradev and RDS to hook up to the shared server over the network. Premature grey hairs, I swear... and that's not taking into account student projects, a public facing showcase server, etc. see how important this announcement is?
