Ajas, you mention some loving/some hating XML files. I didn't see any reply from you on my note offering yet another alternative (sent 10/24), where I said simply: Or one may find it a little easier to use ini files, and CF's functions to read them (added in CF 6), such as getprofilestring,

Hi Charlie, I did see your suggestion and I like it as well. Thats why I said thank you everyone and I didnt pick any single reply/post. I wasnt aware of using ini file in ColdFusion for config and it was good to know. As always, your input was very helpful. Thanks, On Wed, Nov 4, 2009 at

I use XML (as stated before) but for this single purpose, I agree with Charlie that it would be much simpler and just as affective to use the INI file functionality built into CF. You will use half the lines of code to do that vs the XML option. Still, XML is a nice buzz word and if you want

Let me throw yet another wrinkle into the discussion. WDDX. There are times when I want to have configurations that are represented as complex objects, that an INI file cannot do (or at least without pain), and XML parsing is horrid at (syntactically). With WDDX I can make a read of the file

Good point. I did say I realized that ini files weren’t as “robust or flexible”. :-) But WDDX files are definitely a step above that before making up one’s own XML. They all have their place, so good to be reminded every once in a while. And thanks for the concurrence on INI files, Wes.

On the mac there are a couple of database products which I like. Navicat and also Froq (mySQL, oracle, MS SQL, etc. http://www.alwintroost.nl/?id=82 ). In the past the bad thing about Navicat was it was only mySQL and now they have a premium version which is also Oracle and PostgreSQL.
