The try/catch vs cferror page - it's really about what works best for you, what is more manageable, and what gives the best results for you. Try/catch isn't really made for wrapping whole pages, but it won't cause errors or problems. It's just not as manageable as cferror.
Same with multiple cfoutputs and over-usage of #'s. When it gets translated down into java, it really doesn't matter anymore. If there is a performance benifit, it happens when the page is parsed (once per template, until it is modified next or the service restarts). The real issue is what is most readable and manageable for you, the developer. As for your servers, make sure your server is all patched up and has the latest database drivers, otherwise, it's a little hard to say from the info you gave us -nathan strutz http://www.dopefly.com/ On 12/29/05, Reed Powell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello all - I've googled the heck out of this topic, and there are more > opinions than I can count!
