No, it's not true. Flex 3 will be able to query a local SQLLite database when deployed as an AIR app. But regular Flex (web) apps will not have this functionality. No other database engines will be supported.. just SQLLite. And only on AIR. > Also, I have been told that even with Flex2 there is a way (using a Java > JDBC driver) one can connect to a database and do the job. Is that really > true? Any tutorials for this ? Don't know where you heard that. Flex runs inside the Flash Player, which has no ability to load any java classes, certainly not JDBC drivers, because it's not Java. You absolutely have to have some kind of server running a server-side language (coldfusion, asp, php, java, .NET, etc) in order to do this kind of thing with flex rick -- Rick Root Check out CFMBB, BlogCFM, ImageCFC, ImapCFC, CFFM, and more at www.opensourcecf.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Check out the new features and enhancements in the latest product release - download the "What's New PDF" now http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/coldfusion/cf8_beta_whatsnew_052907.pdf Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/Flex/message.cfm/messageid:4584 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/Flex/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.37
