RE: Serial Number
Okay, now you've asked for it ;-). Here's one I've wondered about for a long time: Is there a good way to negate a _substring_ as opposed to being specific about each individual character? Lemme think of a (lame) example... 1. see jane 2. hear jane 3. watch jane Is there a good way to match 1 and 2, besides doing something like this... [^h][^e][^a][^r] jane or (see|watch) jane (say I don't know about the words see or watch beforehand) I've never found a way to do this with pure regex.Which is not to say that there isn't one.However, there's a workaround I use when I need to do this.It has some limitations, but it's generally useful. AS I am in Europe, Ben Doom usually beats me with the good answers, but here there may be a pure regexp solution if you are on CFMX. You can use negative lookahead: cfscript string = ArrayNew(1); string[1] = see jane; string[2] = hear jane; string[3] = watch jane; regexp = \b(?!hear)\w+\sjane; /cfscript cfoutput cfloop from=1 to=#ArrayLen(string)# index=i #string[i]#: #REFindNoCase(regexp,string[i])#br/cfloop /cfoutput This will match two words, where the second word is jane and the first is NOT hear. Of course, if you want to match only jane NOT preceeded by hear you would need lookbehind, which (sadly) isn't supported in CFMX. (?!\bhear\s)jane On CF5, you can't do all this and Ben's solution will help there Pascal [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings]
RE: Serial Number
On CFMX, you can use negative lookahead to determine if the first part
is NOT only letters or numbers:
REFindNoCase(^(?![a-z]{3}|\d{3})\w{3}.*\d{7}$,str)
On CF5 I would do 2 operations:
Use the regexp provided below. If it checks, extract the first three
digits and see if they contain a letter AND a number.

CFDJ Spell Check Article this Month
In CFDJ this month Darron Schall wrote an article on how to add spell checking functionality to a site with open source Java. He does not, however, reveal the code for the _javascript_ interface that enables a user to replace, ignore, replace all, and ignore all, etc. Does anyone have this code written and available for others? If not, perhaps Ben Forta would be willing to share a portion of his CFX_SpellCheck source code to help us finish the project :-).

Re: CFDJ Spell Check Article this Month
Sorry, I didn't have time to actually write that portion of the code.The article itself was already longer than it should've been, so I just threw that out as an idea of where to go from here. I think I would implement that by having a list of ignored words.The spell check engine reports back the location of the error in the string, so you can see if the word at that location is ignored.. if not, pop up a window and ask if they want to replace it with something.If they chose to ignore all then add it to the ignore words list.. and keep doing that as you loop through the list of spelling errors. -d [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings]
RE: Different query results in Access/ColdFusion
While you are right about cfqueryparam you are completely wrong about preservesinglequotes. PreserveSingleQuotes stops CF from escaping single quotes in the SQL. This would mean that if you use it as below and somebody entered O'connor street for Form.civicaddress, the query would throw an error. There are a few cases where CF doesn't escape single quotes automatically when using vars in the sql, and then you have to escape them manually using Replace(var,','',all). Using cfqueryparam fixes this too.

Re:MS Update broke security
Well for the application they don't have requirements on making sequirty work, it doesn't even really support it. The whole application is based on NT permissions, so when you use everyone it just works normal, so if we wanted security I had to make the permissions based on our NT users and groups and then made a popup for basic authentication so that users would be able to log on. Recently we moved that website to a different url in preperation for a new website launch that no longer uses NT users and groups and goes off of a datbase for authentication. The problem with this now is that a user will be prompted to use our documentation application that still has to use basic authentication. To get by this I was putting the username and password in the url string and then everything just worked. Now my requirements are to find someway, anyway to get Internet Explorer to cache those passwords. I don't care if I encode the username and password in clear text inside a webpage, just anyway that I can get the browser to cache it so a user can't see it. hope that explains it for you.

that's just it I can't use anythign that requires user intervention. By caching passwords I mean being able to pass the username and password to the browser some way to let it know that Im using basic authentication. Once I do that the browser automatically caches the username and password until you end the browser session.

They are their opinions and as such deserve respect as such. When speaking of the below scenario I can see (especially considering the slow pace of mySQL dev in the past [which is no longer the case]) why someone may have thought along these lines. Recently I was looking at evaluating a CF RAD tool under development (no details yet, but I'll let you know if and when I'm able). The tool looked like it would do all the things I wanted, yet I came to find out it didn't support mySQL.

Re: Serial Number
You mean it must contain 3 each of letters and numbers?I think that,
while it is possible to do this with a really ugly kluge of a regex,
you'd be better off looping over the string using left(), mid(), and
right().
Unless you mean that it must be 3 letters, then three numbers, in which
case it's easy.
I'm sorry, you're just going to have to clarify again.Can you list
examples, too?

Cold Fusion administrator loading blank page
Hey CF Guru's.I was hoping to get some help on this.I have a ColdFusion server that I am building to mirror an existing development server.I started the server and started testing this morning when I realized that the java class path was incorrect, it was not serving up cfx tags correctly.After updating the java class path in coldfusion administrator, I had to restart the server.The server restarted fine, at least it claims to have started fine.The problem is that my ColdFusion server loads up blank white pages.I can't get to the administrator, nor do I receive any error message. Any ideas? MSH [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings]

Re: XML storage
That's just plain wrong - certainly in Oracle 9i, and probably other heavy weight RDMS, there is a native XMLType column, and you can do XPath querys stright to it with SQL. Both SQL Server and Oracle allow you to use proprietary syntax to access data contained in XML documents, but it is not straight SQL as defined by ISO. Remember, ISO defines the SQL standard and currently SQL does not support XML. Which makes that wrong too :-) However in your other reply you go on to talk about databases with a native XMLType, so I'm sure you must have been aware of that. All relational databases process data using resultsets. It doesn't matter what syntactical sugar they add or how things come out at end of a query being executed; all the data used to produce the result was processed as resultsets. That means that the XML too has to be in the form of a resultset in order for a relational database to work with it. There is simply no other way as relational databases don't have hierarchical query engines. Now you can snipe the article all you want, but it was written for IT managers and as such isn't perfect technically. If you really care about these issues then I should you read some of the research papers coming out of Jim Gray's team at Microsoft. Jim Gray was one of the top database researchers in the world before joining Microsoft and his team seems to be doing the most innovation in the relational/XML field currently. You might also be interested in the following. However, it is patented and as such doesn't seem likely to show up in databases anytime soon. http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=640996dl=ACMcoll=portal I'm also of the view that if you are starting to have to worry about one extra disk (or more likly memory cache) read, you need to spend some more money on your database :-) That is flawed logic. Spatial problems in databases can't be overcome with adding disks. Certainly adding disks can help, but there really is a finite limit on how many disks you can add. As such scalability will continue to be a problem as the database grows and you can't add more disks. -Matt [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings]

RE: Please help - Windows XP Virtual Drives.. I need help
Just because it's created doesn't mean the account that CF is running under has permissions to it.Not sure if it would return that it exists or not based on your permissions. You could probably use the command line syntax to max a specific drive as a specific user. Net use Y: \\serve\share password /USER:domain\username Or something like that.Someone else may be able to add more info. I've never used the subst.exe command.

Re: MySQL and CF
IMHO any software publisher that does not support MySQL is not worthy of purchase.This especially as MySQL has evolved into a major player in the Database market. In my case, I originally had a copy of (name omitted) for eStore cart and it had built in support for everyone EXCEPT MySQL.I was forced to hack the application to create MySQL support and once that was done it worked pretty well, that is until several Open Source eStore apps became available for the Linux/MySQl platform. Now, with the later releases of MySQL, it is again considered a major database player, and we have also include support on our Windows servers as well. In my opinion, PostGres is the best of all the open source databases, as being scalable, fast, and stable, but few CF developers target that platform, while the MySQL product is being increasingly requested by clients.Not everyone needs Oracle functionality, including many that are using that platform, and most of the pundits are now saying that MySQL is becoming a real competitor. All this said, while our services include supporting the database product of the client's choice, SQL2K if still by far the most requested. == Stop spam on your domain, Anti-spam solutions http://www.clickdoug.com/mailfilter.cfm For hosting solutions http://www.clickdoug.com == Aspire to Inspire before you Retire or Expire! - Original Message - From: Cutter (CF-Talk) To: CF-Talk Sent: Friday, February 06, 2004 8:56 AM Subject: SOT: MySQL and CF Let me preface this by saying that I don't fault anyone for their opinions.

Re:MS Update broke security
Sorry, I'm using the web interface. I'll see if I can fix it up Well for the application they don't have requirements on making sequirty work, it doesn't even really support it.

Recently we moved that website to a different url in preperation for a new website launch that no longer uses NT users and groups and goes off of a datbase for authentication. The problem with this now is that a user will be prompted to use our documentation application that still has to use basic authentication.

Re:MS Update broke security
Bob, Okay, this is pure theory... I haven't actually tested it, so it might not work at all. (1) Change your URLs from http://#username#:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ to http://foo.com/auth/#ToBase64(username : password)#/ (2) Install ISAPI Rewrite (3) Create a rewrite condition that looks for /auth/(.*)/ (4) If authorization info is found, rewrite the URL to omit the auth info, and then set the Authorization header to the base64 string in the original URL Again, *in theory*, you'll end up being able to authenticate without user intervention. -- Roger Benningfield JournURL: http://journurl.com/ blog: http://admin.support.journurl.com/ [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings]

The Alpha build of 5.0 was released this last month. E-week reported in testing that it was incredibly stable and that the new addition of stored procedure support was a major plus. Stored procedures are server wide instead of database wide, so they are unusable in a hosted environment with a shared database server. As I understand it views are to be supported possibly as early as 5.1. 5.0 alpha was released last month. We are about 28 months past the release of 4.0 alpha, and there isn't a 4.1 stable yet. Do your own math, but even if they make it in 5.1 I don't think I would call that 'early'.

Re: MySQL and CF
I agree...MySQL is not a real databasenot just because of the FK issue which is only fixed by using InnoDBit also doesn't have stored procs/triggers/rollback.I'd say rollback is just too scary to go withoutlet's face it...transactions fail and they need to be rolled back to avoid data corruption.Without this feature you just have to code the functionality into your application which means higher cost, more points of failure, tougher to maintain my 2 cents Cheers Bryan Stevenson B.Comm.

RE: MySQL and CF
Not to comment at all on its technical merits, anyone using MySQL should be familiar with their licensing terms. Specifically, MySQL is *not* free for commercial development. If you use MySQL for a commercial product and don't purchase a commercial license, then you run the risk of inadvertently releasing your source code for free. MySQL is released under GPL, unlike Linux, for example, which is released under LGPL. Under the LGPL, if you write an application that runs on Linux you can redistribute that application without releasing the source code. Under the GPL, however, if you release an application that runs on MySQL, then you must release the source code of your application. Here are the relevant quotes from the MySQL licensing page on their web site: http://www.mysql.com/products/licensing.html Regarding their Open Source license, which is the GPL: The Open Source License allows you to use the software at no charge under the condition that if you use MySQL in an application you redistribute, the complete source code for your application must be available and freely redistributable under reasonable conditions. If you don't want to release the source code of your application, you must purchase a commercial license: The Commercial License, which allows you to provide commercial software licenses to your customers or distribute MySQL-based applications within your organization. This is for organizations that do not want to release the source code for their applications as open source / free software; in other words they do not want to comply with the GNU General Public License (GPL). Note that it's not just the MySQL database that's covered under these license terms--they also apply to the MySQL JDBC and ODBC drivers. (This is the reason BlueDragon no longer ships the MySQL JDBC driver). So if you use MySQL--be careful. If you don't purchase a commercial license, anyone can demand that you give them your source code under the terms of the GPL license.

RE: Another CFLogin issue - Roles
Ray, What about a situation where you have certain display elements that only show to logged-in users?Why not wrap cflogin around those elements?I know you're immediate answer is use conditional logic to see if getAuthUser()returns an empty string, but I don't see why one is better than the other.Using getAuthUser() means using conditional logic (yes, I know that cflogin is an explicit conditional check) which is more sore on the eyes and requires a developer to expend more thought in order to figure out what the conditional logic is.cflogin is intended to be wrapped around code to run when people aren't logged in.GetAuthUser() is supposed to return the name of the logged-in user.Right now, getAuthUser() happens to return an empty string when you're not logged in, but that functionality isn't set in stone.If that functionality is set in stone, I still think cflogin leaves less doubt about the intention of the code.Thoughts? ~Simon Simon Horwith CTO, Etrilogy Ltd.

RE: Bank of America estores, cfhttp, http_referer, troubles
Check the archives for Bank of America, but in a nutshell: BofA requires that you have a list of trusted referrers.You'll find the BofA server is going to ignore your header assignment.So add the BofA server as a trusted referring server and everything will magically work.Nice security, huh?I did this as a temp workaround until BofA tech staff came back with the same solution; making it permanent. Don't they have an XML-based system now that doesn't require this malarkey?And if you are on CF 6+ you should be able to use their COM-based system (assuming COM works, of course).I was running CF 4.5 at the time so I couldn't go there.

RE: Another CFLogin issue - Roles
Ray, What about a situation where you have certain display elements that only show to logged-in users?Why not wrap cflogin around those elements?I know you're immediate answer is use conditional logic to see if getAuthUser()returns an empty string, but I don't see why one is better than the other.Using getAuthUser() means using conditional logic (yes, I know that cflogin is an explicit conditional check) which is more sore on the eyes and requires a developer to expend more thought in order to figure out what the conditional logic is.cflogin is intended to be wrapped around code to run when people aren't logged in.GetAuthUser() is supposed to return the name of the logged-in user.Right now, getAuthUser() happens to return an empty string when you're not logged in, but that functionality isn't set in stone.If that functionality is set in stone, I still think cflogin leaves less doubt about the intention of the code. Thoughts? In my mind, cflogin should not be used as a login check. It should only be used to manage the login system as whole. Sure it _acts_ a bit like a conditional check, but that is not its true purpose. This to me is enough to say that getAuthUser is better than cflogin for determining if a user is logged in. Why do you say GetAuthUser() is not set in stone? That can be applied to _any_ function. Even if MACR changed it so that users not logged in returned XXX or somesuch, you could use use it as a way to see if the user is authenticated. As a side note, you _can_ use cflogin to determine if the user is logged in. For a site where logins are optional, you can have this in Application.cfm: cflogin cfset request.userisloggedin = false !--- normaly code here o handle potential log ons, and set the request var above to true if need be --- /cflogin someotherfile.cfm: cif request.userisloggedin . /cfif [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings]
RE: Another CFLogin issue - Roles
I'm trying to trace the error and one main thing I find is that if there's 2 CFLOGIN tags on the page, the second one always assumes that your not logged in. You mean 2 blocks of cflogin tags? I'd consider that a bug, but also non-standard usage. There should only be one cflogin block per request (imho). It is non-standard, but something that popped up as I'm testing this. Basically, using the CFLOGINUSER inside the CFC causes some strange results and that double CFLOGIN issue may be one of them. I'm still looking. The bottom line may be that its better to leave the CFLOGINUSER outside the CFC. I've always said this. ;) To me, cflogin user is a application specific implementation. Your CFC should be more vague and simply handle the authentication. Let the app handle how to remember that the user is logged in. But we disagreed about this before. :) Please log a bug about the N uses of cflogin. I still say it shouldn't be used like that, but certainly it needs to work correctly if it can be used more than once. Also, the IsUserInRole() function will not take more than one role where the docs says that it can take a list. Yes, it will take more then one role. This works fine in all my tests. However, do not forget thatit will do an AND check. So if you pass A,B it will only return true if the user is in both. Ah, the docs imply an OR case. I've tested it and it is the AND case as you say. One of these days I'm going to rewrite There is a CFLib function that will do an OR check for you. I believe it is called IsUserInAnyRole.

RE: Please help - Windows XP Virtual Drives.. I need help
This is basically a repost but I really need a solution and there have got to be other developers dealing with this problem... here's the problem - It seems Windows XP (probably Windows 2003 Server too) does not see my virtual drives. I'm having the same problem with Apache. By virtual drives, I mean network mapped drives or local mappings I create with subst. Take a look at this source code where I try to create a Y: drive and then look at the result I get I'm totally stuck and I need help!!! The problem seems to be that services in Windows XP can't see the damn virtual drives. In my code sample below, it looks like CF is spawning a DOS prompt that runs as the logged in user rather than the service. I've tried setting the permissions on both the virtual drive and the physical source directory to be open to everybody. I've also tried setting the Coldfusion Application Server user role to run as the local account and the administrator of the machine. I've also tried toggling the interact with desktop option. Nothing seems to work. By default, CF runs as SYSTEM (the local account you mentioned), and neither SYSTEM nor the local Administrator account have rights to network resources. If you want CF to be able to access network resources via Windows Networking, you'll need to run it as a user with the appropriate rights. This isn't specific to XP or Windows Server 2003, either, but is true for all versions of Windows NT and its descendents. You probably don't even need to map the drives, either; you should be able to use the UNC paths directly, once you've configured CF to run as a user with the appropriate rights.

RE: MySQL and CF
The Commercial License, which allows you to provide commercial software licenses to your customers or distribute MySQL-based applications within your organization... So then, is an app that uses mySQL based on it?Is an application that can easily support various platforms, of which one is mySQL, based on mySQL?While I'm no lawyer it seems to me the two are not the same animal. Now, for something like BD and CF, where to offer mySQL functionality (which is an 'application' in and of itself) then your use of the jdbc connectors to provide db connectivity does clearly meet the based on standard.However, unless an application is genuinely written to run only on mySQL (which would include the use of any mysql-specific feature, anywhere in the app, where no alternative in the code is provided) then it seems to me the app is not based on mySQL and doesn't meet this standard for licensing. Worth looking into:mySQL used to provide an express 'out' for commercial ISP's; exempting them from buying a license.I'd have to read their licensing over again to be sure its still there.

I guess what I don't understand is why you think cflogin
should not be used as a log-in check.That's exactly what it
is (and that's all that it is).GetAuthUser(), by
definition, returns the username of the current user.You
happen to be able to use both to determine whether or not
someone is logged-in... I'm not sure whether there's any
performance difference between the two (I'd think cflogin

the difference would never be significant enough to matter

thing.I use both... if I'm in the display layer, I like
cflogin.If I'm anywhere else, I generally use
getAuthUser() primarily because so much of my code is cfscript.
I don't think I quite made my point clear. I'm not saying cflogin
shouldn't be used as a login check - obviously you can use it to force login
when a person isn't logged in. My feeling was that it should not be used
PURELY as a conditional, ie,
cflogin
display stuff here for non logged in users
/cflogin
It should be used as a conditional check for login that _also_ handles the
login of the user, potentially aborting the process. etc.
Obviously a nitpicky difference and something I don't expect others to agree
with. ;)
So, someone go to the Macromedia forum and request for a real
isAuthenticated() function.
Btw - as a side note (I blogged this before so sorry for repeating myself) -
be careful when writing security related UDFs. As you know, getAuthUser()
returns an empty string if you aren't logged in. You may be tempted to write
this UDF:
function isAuthenticated() {
return getAuthUser() neq ;
}
However, if you try to call it (there is no bug with just declaring it), you
get:
Function isAuthenticated is not supported in ColdFusion MX.
Why? IsAuthenticated() was one of the old Advanced Security funcitons. AS
was removed in MX. However, instead of just removing the functions, CF
actually has a hook in it so even if you define your own UDF, you can't
call it. (And yes, I've already reported this. :)

Re:MS Update broke security
Its time to focus on a solution to solve the problem. From a solutions perspective, the best long term solution would be querry off of Active Directory LDAP server and use that to determine users and roles however, what I suggest below is more of a short term fix that can be impemented today and buy time for the permanent solution using Active Directory/LDAP. Step 1: Have the person login in using basic authentication Step 2: If you are using IIS, two CGI variables will be created: cgi.auth_user and cgi.auth_password. Step 3: Create a database table containing the username and password. If there is not a record, run a querry or a stored proceedure to insert the record. If the password has been changed then, use the cgi variable to change the passwrod. Step 4: Set a session variable noting the person has logged in.

RE: Another CFLogin issue - Roles
well, I'm not sure why you think it should also handle logging a user in
whenever it's used, but it's not a big deal either way.I take back what I
said about it purely being a conditional check tag... obviously it does a
little more if you think about it's attributes, but I don't think it's a big
deal one way or the other.The fact that there is no longer an
isAuthenticated() function, as you mention, is a much bigger deal (and it's
re-introduction would put this debate to rest as well).

Subject: RE: Another CFLogin issue - Roles
I guess what I don't understand is why you think cflogin
should not be used as a log-in check.That's exactly what it
is (and that's all that it is).GetAuthUser(), by
definition, returns the username of the current user.You
happen to be able to use both to determine whether or not
someone is logged-in... I'm not sure whether there's any
performance difference between the two (I'd think cflogin
would be quicker in determining if someone's logged-in, but
the difference would never be significant enough to matter
anyway).So I guess it's really just a personal preference
thing.I use both... if I'm in the display layer, I like
cflogin.If I'm anywhere else, I generally use
getAuthUser() primarily because so much of my code is cfscript.
I don't think I quite made my point clear. I'm not saying cflogin
shouldn't be used as a login check - obviously you can use it to force
login
when a person isn't logged in. My feeling was that it should not be used
PURELY as a conditional, ie,
cflogin
display stuff here for non logged in users
/cflogin
It should be used as a conditional check for login that _also_ handles the
login of the user, potentially aborting the process. etc.
Obviously a nitpicky difference and something I don't expect others to
agree
with. ;)
So, someone go to the Macromedia forum and request for a real
isAuthenticated() function.
Btw - as a side note (I blogged this before so sorry for repeating
myself) -
be careful when writing security related UDFs. As you know, getAuthUser()
returns an empty string if you aren't logged in. You may be tempted to
write
this UDF:
function isAuthenticated() {
return getAuthUser() neq ;
}
However, if you try to call it (there is no bug with just declaring it),
you
get:
Function isAuthenticated is not supported in ColdFusion MX.
Why? IsAuthenticated() was one of the old Advanced Security funcitons. AS
was removed in MX. However, instead of just removing the functions, CF
actually has a hook in it so even if you define your own UDF, you can't
call it. (And yes, I've already reported this. :)

Re: MySQL and CF
That post may be somewhat misleading.If you are using the open source version of MySQL, you are under NO obligation to reveal the source code of the application you develop which uses the database.The only reveal obligation you will have is if you modify the MySQL source code itself. That is a reasonable requirement of the license. This little thing was omitted from the post on CF-Talk, and I caution anyone to takes the post literally to mean that your application which uses the database is automatically open source as well.It just ain't so.

RE: MySQL and CF
It seems there's some disagreement about what the GPL means.MySQL is distributed under the GPL, so MySQL AB can't add any restrictions on use beyond what are already in the license.If you need to do things that the GPL doesn't let you (like distribute MySQL as part of a non-GPL software package, or distribute a modified version of MySQL under non-GPL license), then MySQL AB also provides commercial licenses for your use. In general, as long as you're not distributing software, the GPL is very thin on limitations.And even if you are distributing something that is based on or derived from MySQL, you're not limited to a GPL license for that software as long as it can be considered reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves (from subsection 2 of the Terms section). Someone pointed out that as long as your app is not strictly bound to MySQL-specific syntax (LIMIT clause, for example), then you're safe from licensing restrictions.Even if your code uses MySQL-specific syntax, that doesn't necessarily bind it either.As long as your code can be considered it's own separate work (and is distributed separately), then you're fine. On the flip side, if you have purely non-MySQL-specific application code, but you distribute it bundled with MySQL, then you ARE bound by the GPL, even though your app is totally independent of MySQL.

RE: RE: MySQL and CF
You mean that you just created CFML application that uses mySQL as a backend and sell that application, right? Then as long as you don't distribute mySQL with it (for any small app 99% of cases you would not) I understand that GPL does not require you to show your code to anyone you don't wish to show it too.

This is for organizations that do not want to release the source code for their applications as open source / free software; in other words they do not want to comply with the GNU General Public License (GPL). Note that it's not just the MySQL database that's covered under these license terms--they also apply to the MySQL JDBC and ODBC drivers. (This is the reason BlueDragon no longer ships the MySQL JDBC driver). So if you use MySQL--be careful. If you don't purchase a commercial license, anyone can demand that you give them your source code under the terms of the GPL license.

RE: RE: MySQL and CF
Only if you distribute MySQL as part of your application. If the application runs on your server then you don't need a license.If you distribute the application for clients to install on their servers, and you require that they have MySQL installed to run you app, then it's kind of grey, but I would say you probably DON'T need a license, especially if the binding from your app to a MySQL database is minimal (no native function libraries, etc).If you distribute an installer package that installs your app and MySQL in one fell swoop, then you definitely need a commercial license. Note, I'm not a lawyer, just a code monkey.However, I'm quite confident my interpretation is very close accurate. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, February 06, 2004 9:59 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: RE: MySQL and CF But if I create an application that uses mySQL for profit, I must obtain a mySQL commercial license, correct?Or not?
