mySQL can run on the Mac, priobably PostgreSQL as well. I remember seeing a Mac version of the Nusphere/Firepages LAMP package. That's what I use as webserver for my PC.

I'll still have a Win2003/SQL 2000 server on the network. In terms of developing on a mac, I know I can run CF in developer mode, and use cfEclipse as the IDE, but what about databases? I've worked with MS Access and SQL Server and have to maintain sites based on those. Does Tiger natively have a SQL Server OBDC driver? If not, what are people using? What about Access databases? Can they be read and manipulated on a mac (I know the software itself won't run)? Or must that db also reside on a networked machine? And if so, where is the driver to make that connection? Thanks for any tips, suggestions, leads on this. -- Regards, Bob Haroche OnPoint Solutions www.OnPointSolutions.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
