Coldfusion/MS Access |
|---|
| message from pullover on 24 Jul 2004 |
hi,
1) i'm planning to use ColdFusion MX as my server application. Do i have to
build my pages in .cfm? i have created all my previous pages in html so do i
have to convert it to .cfm if i plan to use coldfusion? if yes, how can i
convert html to cfm?
2) i'm using MS Access as my database. how is MS Access compare to MySQL?
i heard that MS Access has lots of limitation but can you highlight to me
what's the limitations? i'm trying to build a dynamic website with login,
register functions and also to showcase my products catalogue. so is MS Access
capable of handling hundreds of products pic/info management and will there be
a limit to how many login user info can Access handle.
Thanks for help.

You can mix html with cfm pages if you wish. However, any time there will
be Cold Fusion tags in use, it will need to be a cfm page. If it's not, the
cold fusion tags will not be interpreted.
MS Access can handle lots of records. It's when you get to simultaneous
logins that there can be a problem. If more than one person hits the exact
same piece of data at the same time, the second person would be locked out
of the record.
MySql does better in this regard; however, there is a steeper learning curve
for MySql. If you are going to use it, read about the administration
programs to manipulate it .. many of them are showcases on the mysql site at
http://www.mysql.com
