During my investigations into CFML idiosyncracies for the purposes of my blog I've tried t stay platform-neutral as much as I can (although my day job is ColdFusion), however increasingly often I'm finding code I write works fine on both ColdFusion and Railo, but find "oh... OpenBD hasn't implemented that yet". If I wrote code that - inadvertently - only ran on ColdFusion I'd "neutralise" it to run on all three, but if it runs on two of the three, I don't feel so compelled to make it work on the third, instead thinking "well it should bloody keep up...". OpenBD is always the odd-one-out here. It is seeming less and less relevant to me, I'm afraid. To the OP: If you're just starting out, I'd lean towards Railo rather than OpenBD. -- Adam -- online documentation: http://openbd.org/manual/ http://groups.google.com/group/openbd?hl=en
