texte = ColdFusion standard edition comes at $1200 and runs on all platforms and you can connect it to any open source database without problems, plus any commerce database as well. Like I said, ColdFusion is based on Java and thus any JDBC driver will do. Plus you write your SQL only onces and can use any database you want with it. But of course, if you are looking for only free stuff then you can not compete with it. Nitai Bess Ho wrote: > 1. Assuming SM ignore us and do nothing.
