Just want to make sure everyone is on the same wavelength here… ColdFusion is an application server, not a database.  You can have ColdFusion running with SQL Server, MySQL, Oracle, etc…  ColdFusion can take advantage of this feature if you database will handle it.   Although I’m not on the ColdFusion team, I agree with Tom.  ColdFusion is an extremely easy to use and productive server technology and it integrates very well with Flex.   -Andy   _____________________________________ Andrew Trice Cynergy Systems, Inc. http://www.cynergysystems.com   Blog: http://www.cynergysystems.com/blogs/page/andrewtrice Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Office: 866-CYNERGY    From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Tim Hoff Sent: Monday, July 17, 2006 5:09 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Flex and Server-Side Technology Recommendations   Hi Tom, Thanks for the info. This is more of a CF question, but the CF-Flex connection should afford a little bit of room here. Does CF support what is called, "distributed partitioned views" like SQL Server? This allows you to create several small databases with the same structure that can be viewed as a single master database if desired. This is an essential feature for me. By segregating customer data into separate databases, the performance, by not having to weed through the entire database, is dramatically increased. In addition, for top level functionality, all of the customer databases can be queried as one. The reason that I ask, is that several of my master tables can have multi-million records. Add to that a couple joins of these tables and the server has the potential to crawl. If CF has this feature, I will definitely consider switching; due to its tight integration with Flex.
