RE: Reactor For CF Access help

I’m pretty sure I’m not going to be killing myself to implement this.   Doug   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jared Rypka-Hauer Sent: Monday, February 20, 2006 1:01 PM To: reactor@doughughes.net Subject: Re: Reactor For CF Access help   I've never been able to... you CAN if you get a Linux ODBC distro and want to buy drivers, but I've never heard of anyone doing something that silly when Postgress and even Firebird are available for Linux for free.   So yeah, you CAN. The *key* question is "Has anyone ever done something that silly?" :)   And there's no GUI for it, so Access applications don't work, it's just an ODBC-based relational flat-file thing. ;)   ------------------------------------------------ Jared C.

The Access/ODBC driver doesn't support it. It appears to be optional.   I wonder if I couldn't use some COM objects to do this? (Though that would be os/platform specific.)   I don't know that many people will be using access with reactor anyhow, so I'm not too worried.   Doug -- Reactor for ColdFusion Mailing List -- reactor@doughughes.net -- Archives at http://www.mail-archive.com/reactor%40doughughes.net/   -- Reactor for ColdFusion Mailing List -- reactor@doughughes.net -- Archives at http://www.mail-archive.com/reactor%40doughughes.net/
