I little followup here... I've gotten a SQLite JDBC driver and have managed to get it working with CF. I can dynamically create a DSN using the CF admin API, create a database and pre-populate it with data all automatically on the server.

Oh yeah, and there is the matter of securing this file so that any ole shmoe can't download it... -Cameron On Wed, Apr 2, 2008 at 2:09 PM, Leif Wells <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > DK, > > I've heard people talk about this as an option.
