I have heard a lot of good things about CF and if I had to work on
an NT platform I think I would use CF.
But if I were on any unix/linux platform I would use mySQL (or
msql) and perl and DBI. And I would see that mod_perl is
installed;not that I have used it yet but from what I have read and
what everyone tells me, it is the best way and as far as I know you
lose no functionality.
Cost:
mySQL: Free
msql: under US$250 or free last time I checked
Perl : Free
DBI: Free
mod_perl: Free
