So Tom, when are you going to include newer MySQL drivers by default, instead of requiring users to manually update the drivers and specify them when creating a DSN? I'm using MySQL 4.1 and even that old of a version of MySQL requires me to manually update the drivers on a new CF install and manually enter all the information when creating a DSN to talk to it.

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. :-)
