Agreed. And in my experience, most small shops using MS-SQL are violating the license by using a 5-user MS-SQL Standard license instead of the *required* MS-SQL Unlimited License, which is around 3k/CPU. So ASP/.NET + MS-SQL Std properly licensed on a 2CPU box is well over $6000 -- which about the same as CF *enterprise* plus a Red Hat/SUSE license plus MySQL/Postgres/Firebird (or even MSSQL Express/MSDE which is more than adequate for most small shops that "need" MS-SQL). -- John Paul Ashenfelter CTO/Transitionpoint (blog) http://www.ashenfelter.com (email) [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------------------------------------- You are subscribed to cfcdev.
