In the vast majority of cases I didn't have to touch my code at all. First, let me say that it's great that you're bringing certain compatibility issues to light that we might not have otherwise run into, because of course everyone writes code differently. So this is very much appreciated. To say OpenBD isn't production ready, however, is a rather ridiculous blanket statement. In one of my apps in particular (heavy XML processing/PDF generating app) I moved from CF to OpenBD and the processing runs 15-30X faster than it did on CF, and uses a heckuva lot less memory. How's that not production ready? Again, that's my perspective based on my experience. Main point I want to make here is that we really appreciate you being diligent about sharing the things you're running into because it's very helpful to the project, and I understand that it's frustrating when you run into these things. Rest assured we'll look into each and every one of them, so your detailed outlines of the problems you're finding are not in vain.
