Are there any systems in existence where two separate systems can share the same RAM? What is wrong with using Client Variables for this purpose? >3. Support for all the normal operators!

I don't understand this request. cfquery is a tag that sends SQL text to a datasource and creates a query object (I.E. an array of structures). It doesn't have anything to do with the display of data. It is easy to make a 'forward next' interface for scrolling through data lists if you need to, and ColdFusion provides features to do this in the cfoutput and cfloop tag. I do not know how they would implement a way to update a database without executing a query. It's like asking me to modify a text file without accessing the file in any way. >5.

If I could code CF in it I would. They upgraded Studio about a year ago. There were not a lot of new features, but did constitute an update. I suspect that Macromedia will concentrate their efforts on Dreamweaver, although time will tell. >7. CF applications certified by Macromedia?
