I have CF 5.0 on my Linux box, and my SQL2000 database on another box running Win2k. Using the ODBC driver that comes with CF, I am able to connect to the SQL database and it works very well. I even set up a custom port which side-steps all the port 1433 scans that seem to be the norm these days.

The database will be sitting on a different server, so the server will only be used to host the front-end application. | | I'd like to hear peoples thoughts and experiences on the pros and cons of using either one of these platforms for a ColdFusion environment. | | Thanks, | | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.
