ColdFusion is an ISAPI/CGI-based scripting engine. It competes with Active
Server Pages (ASP), PHP, etc.
ASP is free with NT Server 4.0. Yes, MS SQL is worth it's weight in gold.

Subject: M$ SQL Server or Cold Fusion? Need opinion
Date: Tuesday, July 15, 1997 8:41 PM
I'm looking for an Internet Database solution. In the left corner I have
M$ SQL Server weighing in at $2999.00. In the right corner I have Cold
Fusion Pro weighing in at $995. Is SQL worth 3X the weight in gold?
My key areas I'm looking at are:
Scalability
Simultaneous Connections
Administrative Costs
Programming Ease or rather difficulty.
I already know IDC/HTX so SQL leans a little in favor, but at 3X the cost I
think I could learn Cold Fusion.
I would appreciate opinions and experiences.
Please, no ear biting between team M$ and team anti-M$.
Thanks
