Thanks Paul and Jochem

Thats the answer I was hoping for. We have a hosted server running 
PostgreSQL/PostGIS/Mapserver running at www.gis.bush.org.nz hosting by 
limelyte. But no inhouse experience with even installing PostgreSQL.

We use MSDE2 inhouse but it has a 2GB limit. Being able to integrate CF with 
mapserver would be fantastic.

Paul - are you querying ArcSDE with CF directly. ESRI have donated  ArcSDE so 
....

where is the boundary between CF and mapserver and flash

yeah, it's pretty slick. i've been a long-long time user of commercial 
GIS database products (mainly arcSDE) and to be able to use cf to run 
spatial queries is pretty freaking fantastic:

<!--- find the province this point lies within --->
<cfquery name="findProvince" datasource="postGIS">
  SELECT provinceName
  FROM provinces
  WHERE CONTAINS(the_geom, GeometryFromText('POINT(100.65 13.85)')
</cfquery>

and to top it off it can output results as SVG.
