You never did clarify if by flat file you mean text file?
Yes, you are correct about that, sorry. I mean a delimited text file.
Specifically, I am precluded from installing any database, including using
access database files.

Hello everyone,
I have a need to build a site which will not have access to a database.
Instead, the client has specified that I must use a flat file. On this flat
file, I need to be able insert, update, and select
Honestly, I don't even know where to start.
Anyone have any idea how to go
Why can't you use a database?
Is the client just being an idiot, or is there a legitimate reason for
it?
If you're on CF8 or Railo, you can serialize/deserialize your query
objects, so you could store the data as a flat CFML/JSON file, but act
on it using Query of Queries.

Thanks all for the replies.
It sounds like some of you are in a position to fire clients. But since I get
paid by the job, I can't just do that. Maybe someday, but not today. Besides,
the client is not an idiot.
I'm sorry, I can't go into detail about the reasons why we are limited to a
Hi Kym, thanks for the reply.
Very good question. The criteria is really No Database. There is more
detailed and specific language than that, but it pretty much sums it up.
As you pointed out, a filesystem is certainly a database, of sorts. I have
been pondering it. It seems a bit messy
First install CF with the builtin webserver and verify that everything
works correctly, then install the connectors from the command line
with

Thank you for the reply, Jochem.
I can't find anywhere how to install the web connectors from the

Thanks to all for the replies. It really shockes me that a simple mechanism to
change the timezone of a particular app was never added to CF. I'm sure this
has been a problem for many over the years.
Dave pointed me to a simple UDF that did the trick. Thanks Dave!
Regarding the question
Right: east coast server's offset of 4+1 = 5, the offset for the mid-west
client. Well, actually it's -5, but you get the point. :)
If you are getting the offset from the gettimezoneinfo(), that is the
servers offset, not the remote locations offset.

Hi... I'm new here. I've been programming CF for a while but I have never come
across this problem yet. I am really hoping someone here can help me.
I built an application for a client in the mid-west, but serve it on a shared
server on the east coast. The client wants all the times on the
