<sales pitch> Well, ColdFusion talks to databases using JDBC, the Java equivalent of ODBC or OLEDB. We include drivers for most databases in the box, including a 'native' SQL Server driver. So in that respect we are very much like ASP. CFML is a tag based markup language that is very easy to learn, especially if you know HTML. And we connect to almost everything: SMS, IM, LDAP, POP, COM, CORBA, HTTP, SMTP, JMS, databases, Web services (publish and consume) etc, etc. Plus among other things we have printing (generate PDF with a single tag) and reporting features, including a free report builder tool. We include the Verity/Autonomy K2 enterprise text search engine. The list goes on and one. CF is very cool. :-) Download the free 30 day trial and check it out. http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/ </sales pitch> -- Tom Jordahl Adobe ColdFusion Team ------------------------ Yahoo!
