Yes, unfortunately. There are some advanced features that integrate with the Plum CMS that require triggers, and also some new features we added that also require triggers, so we're going to Beta it on SQL Server until it's perfected (it's almost there now), then release it on SQL Server only at first.
Then we'll look at Oracle, and later on when Plum supports MySQL we'll also look at PlumForums supporting V5.0.2 and later (which has triggers). Shouldn't be that bad to migrate to Oracle, as long as we have someone to help us test it (hint hint!). ;) Respectfully, Adam Phillip Churvis Member of Team Macromedia http://www.ProductivityEnhancement.com Download Plum and other cool development tools, and get advanced intensive Master-level training: * C# & ASP.NET for ColdFusion Developers * ColdFusion MX Master Class * Advanced Development with CFMX and SQL Server 2000 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tim Blankenship" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, April 12, 2005 4:09 PM Subject: Re: [plum] The Plum Shopping Cart Are PlumForums still only supporting SQL Server in the proper Beta?
