I'm putting together a short Dev Environment Tips list for our next CFUG
meeting. Things like CF mailing lists (this list, CF-Talk), essential URLs,
books, helper apps, etc. that make your development life easier.
Please can you send any tips you have directly to me.
Thanks

Thanks to all for the brilliant input. Finally, a solution has been found:
cfprocparam type=in cfsqltype=cf_sql_integer
value=#InputBaseN(attributes.contentTimestamp, 16)#

Apologies if this topic has already been flogged to death, but ...

When viewing my SQL server database through CF studio on my machine (RDS:
localhost), the databases listed are old ones - some have actually been
deleted, new ones don't show up.
I've tried refreshing the view, installing SP4.5.2, etc and still no joy.
Any takers on what's wrong??
Thanks
