It is more like following the manual. Not hard, you just have to take it one step at a time. > I hear they are close to full Windows support though in the 8.x branch. The current BETA offers identical features on Windows and Linux. But don't use beta software in production (neither PostgreSQL nor MySQL). > MySQL's command line interface and programming API also are nicer for newer users. > Why in the world do I need to remember to type "\d" to show my tables? Why in the world do I need to remember SHOW TABLES? Why can't the standard information schema work? :-) Command line interface and programming API are pretty much irrelevant if you are using ColdFusion. It is all abstracted out behind a JDBC API (ColdFusion is still at JDC 2), which in turn is behind ColdFusion's API, so unless you go the way of the Java ninja you can't even reach it.
