>- see footer for list info -< Perhaps I should clarify. Store the content in a database yes, and any changes are made in the database. But the page itself does not need to pull the contact form the database everytime. You just generate a new flat time whenever the content is changed.
You are then reducing the chance of failover by a lot. If the pages are dynamic, the site will fallover if eitehr CF or the database fails. If pages are static, then you are only reliant on the web server. So the only thing that will stop working is the CMS itself, which just means you can't update the site until the coldfusion or database problem is resolved, which would be the case anyway.

You should always use a database. If content does not change, just leave it static or CMS it and cache it if need be. Do any of the major CMS's out there offer both options? I haven't come across any. At the end of the day is just using a database for what it is built for.

It is probably down to the content on each document; some will change regularly so "frying" a page with DB calls will be more efficient than creating a static "baked" page. Others will rarely change, so baking now and again may be more efficient then constantly frying 'em up. Ideally then, use (or develop) a CMS that offers both options on a document by document basis. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Duncan Cumming Sent: 18 August 2005 16:19 To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [CF-Dev] CMS >- see footer for list info -< >>> "Kerry" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 18/08/2005 15:08 >>> database = yuck, storing that amount of text in a db and then pulling it down the pipe repeatedly That's how any database driven site should work... storing your content in hundreds/thousands of files and either reading them or cfincluding them isn't going to be more efficient than querying a db. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Allan Cliff Sent: 18 August 2005 15:02 To: Coldfusion Development Subject: [CF-Dev] CMS >- see footer for list info -< Me again, I am about to embark on a small CMS project and am contemplating the difference between creating directly htm pages or save the data to the db and create the page everytime. I did think about Farcry but I remember the last time I wasted 2 days work trying to get the damn thing to work. It kept asking to create some containers or something like that. I just gave up in the end. Not intuitive at all and bad documentation. Any other easier to use free CMS options or shall I write my own? Also opinions on the above, whether to write to db and create on the fly or write to htm directly. Allan P.S. Can anyone tell me if I should use a trigger or an sp?
