Folks, I just wanted to put in a little plug here to ask you to consider signing up for the talk I'll be doing at Adobe Max (San Francisco) on "Using Apache Derby, the Open Source Database Embedded in ColdFusion 8".
If you've not signed up for your sessions and are free for the slot on Tuesday, Nov 18, from 4:30 pm - 5:30 pm, please consider signing up, to show support for CF topics, and myself in particular. CFers are notoriously slow to pre-register for Max events (since few but the hands-on sessions tend to sell out), but the Max organizers do use the registrations as a measure of interest in a topic. I think very few know much (if at all) about the built-in Derby DB. I know many have lots of questions, because I answer them a lot in various places. No, it's not a single-user DB. No it's not "development-only". Yes, it is production-capable. It has the advanced features you'd expect in any quality DBMS: stored procedures, triggers, views, referential integrity constraints (including cascading deletes), multi-user capable, cost-based query optimization, transactions, savepoints, schemas, encryption, and much more. I realize some may be tempted to ask more questions here. It would be better to take them up on my blog, where I have various entries addressing the tool. See the category at http://carehart.org/blog/client/index.cfm/derby. But if you've not yet signed up for your sessions at Max, or even if you don't want to sign up for them all but would sign up for this one while you consider the rest of your slots, I'd appreciate it. You create your session tracker here: http://max.adobe.com/na/register/login/, Thanks. /charlie ------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, manage your profile @ http://www.acfug.org?fa=login.edituserform For more info, see http://www.acfug.org/mailinglists Archive @ http://www.mail-archive.com/discussion%40acfug.org/ List hosted by http://www.fusionlink.com -------------------------------------------------------------
