>From March 2003 until August 2007, I was running ColdFusion on SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 8 & 9. It can connect to any database that uses a JDBC driver. During that timeframe, I had it connecting to both Oracle8i & 9i and MySQL databases. The newest version, ColdFusion 8, also has Apache Derby built in, although I haven't used it (Apache Derby). Also, lots of folks these days are using Eclipse with the CFEclipse plugin as their CF ide of choice. Adobe has even added some step-through debugging capabilities to Eclipse. I'm not going to get into an argument of whether or not ColdFusion is a language. It's really more like a toolbox of utilities for building web applications quickly. It does have a tag based language that you use. Essentially, each ColdFusion tag maps to a Java class on the back end that does the work for you. ColdFusion is a rapid application development platform that runs on top of JRun. If you're already running WebLogic or WebSphere, you can also run CF on those platforms through EAR and WAR deployments, without the need to actually install ColdFusion as a standalone product. This will give you an idea of who uses ColdFusion - http://www.coldfusiondeveloper.com.au/go/top100/ -Dutch
