Zuni (Jason) wanted me to drop by to let you all know that we're on top of what caused the recent outage. It's related to SQL7 and Jason will be looking into it tomorrow so there may be a brief outage during the day as well.

Thanks for your patience.

Take care,
Anand

It's always good when the boss comes around to clear up any misconceptions, confusion, withdrawal symptoms, etc ;)

Lol Pretender! I know the feeling, I did not think I was going to make it for a while there... ;)

Tommorrow too? My gosh, I think they are trying to kill us! :p

I've been having serious withdrawal problems. I thought I could quit any time, guess not.

I had to play CS...and I still suck at it. Although I actually got more kills than deaths for a few minutes.

Thanks Jim. Unlike you, the outage forced me to actually go to sleep at a reasonable hour for once, and now I feel fresh as a daisy ;)

Probably won't read this Anand,

Does fusetalk only run on NT/2000?

Can you use Oracle as a data source?

Unix with oracle combo will run better.

Locutus, anand wouldnt know since he doesnt work for e-Zone media who made these forums. Anand is simply a client of e-Zone media's who runs fusetalk.

Fusetalk runs on NT/2000/Linux/Solaris Platforms
Fusetalk runs on Oracle/SQL/MySQL/Access database platforms

No Unix/Oracle is not better. ColdFusion for NT/2000 is a much more mature product than its NIX counterpart and performs better. Oracle is not faster than SQL running these forums, we have doen so much testing on this it would make someone ill. Despite the what the oracle TV commercials tell you SQL is a very high performance database server. Once the NIX ColdFusion platform matures I'm sure it will improve. The next versions of ColdFusion are rumored to run on the Java platform so performance will probably improve and so will cross-platform support. Java portability is excellent for that.

Hope that helps.

Thanks Zuni.

Gives me more thought to:

I am still learning IIS/NT Apache/NIX.

You have given me food for thought, since across the board:

NT/ColdFusion SQL 7 backend runs mo' stuff better. (SQL 2000 supposedly even better) I am hearing it more and more.

Will play around some more. :D
