They're in the non-GAE edition of OpenBD, and New Atlanta BlueDragon as well. I'll probably be a bit fuzzy on the exact explanation since I never use client variables, but these are both related to client variables. If you're familiar with how ColdFusion does things, the equivalent in CF is the CDATA and CGLOBAL stuff. When you use client variables and store them in a database there are two tables created, BDDATA and BDGLOBAL. My understanding (and again, apologies if this isn't quite accurate but as I stated I never use client variables) is that bdclient_APPLICATIONNAME would be used in conjunction with client variables that are stored in the BDDATA table, which would be data that is specific to a particular client and a particular application. BDGLOBAL is used in conjunction with the BDGLOBAL table, which basically tracks hit counts by storing the timestamp of the last visit by each client. Note that you can disable global client variables in bluedragon.xml by adding <clientGlobalUpdatesDisabled>true</clientGlobalUpdatesDisabled> under the <cfapplication> node. -- Matthew Woodward [email protected] http://blog.mattwoodward.com identi.ca / Twitter: @mpwoodward Please do not send me proprietary file formats such as Word, PowerPoint, etc. as attachments. http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/no-word-attachments.html -- Open BlueDragon Public Mailing List http://www.openbluedragon.org/ http://twitter.com/OpenBlueDragon online manual: http://www.openbluedragon.org/manual/ mailing list - http://groups.google.com/group/openbd?hl=en
