Hmm I've never heard SQL Server Enterprise Manager as great before. Diabolical is the word that springs to my mind. One interesting thing is that you can use Access as a front end for the SQL Server database, which can be useful (doesn't replace EM but it's interesting). Here are perhaps two of the major difference between Access and SQL Server: SQL Server uses bit instead of a Boolean like Access's Yes/No -- so you need to change any true/falses to 1/0. Now() becomes getdate() and any queries involving date functions will need to be rewritten. > There are other options too, but these 3 prob account for almost all CF > installations. Another popular choice is PosgreSQL. This dbms include really cool geometric data types which would be handy if you're doing anything with land areas or stuff like that. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| 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 This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.
