Already asked charlie. He only wants to debug CF issues.
My needs are more or a environtment configuration than just CF, but
solid CF skills will be needed.
He does not want to do DBA, DBDesign stuff.

You get what you pay for. I think this is best stated by the
productivity difference between a good programmer and a great
programmer, I believe it is 10,000 fold or more. A good programmer
thinks about the immediate future, a great programmer thinks about
the long term consequences of his or her actions. Ther cost
difference between them is, of course, not 10,000X, its maybe 2 - 3X.
Hire a great programmer.
/me looks around for Charlie ;-)

I have decided that the only way I am going to get anywhere is to
have someone get things set up for me in this shopping cart. I
just will never have the time to do this and there is so much DB
layout to do also. I just need a part timer - contractor that can
set things up, get me on track, teach me how to manage upgrades
and go from there but be available from time to time.
We are not flush with money but we are very comfortable in the
spring-fall months. But we have to get our DB reconfigured.
I need to know how I should tackle this.
Should I hire a mid level / high level guy, should I hire a guru?
I need a real quote on what it would take to prep us for growth.
Again the scenario is:
MySQL
AbleCommerce
Upgrade DB table structure to accept more fields without breaking
Able.
Script MySQL and make a restoration routine to allow upgrades of
able (which overwrite some DB structures potentially) to be
reconfigured back to the custom mode.
Build management of upgrades like SVN etc that will reinstantiate
custom internal code to upgrade new Able versions when rolled out.
Thats the big picture and my learning curve is too long and I can
not afford the time or the chance on breaking our production site
to work with these issues.
The CF training was helpful now that I know what it is and roughly
what can be expected of it.
I now have the skills to understand management of the development
of an intranet and theoretical functionality of CF and DB's but
thats enough to be really dangerous.
Can you all help me find the most cost effective solution to get
where I need to be as painlessly as possible?
Thanks.
