This is something that might not come up often, but every once in a while we have to connect to a Sybase database. This is a built in feature in the Enterprise version of ColdFusion. However, if you have the Standard version of ColdFusion you have to manually add the JDBC jar file and build the connection string by hand. This is easy to do once you have the correct information and correct format of the connection string. Finding that […]
So i was upgrading from ColdFusion 11 to ColdFusion 2016 yesterday. Everything goes fairly smoothly and then i find that none of my data sources are connecting. I’m getting a licensing error connecting to my Oracle databases. Seems that ColdFusion 2016 standard does not include the Oracle driver, I have to have enterprise for that. Yes, it’s on me that I should have checked for this but I didn’t because in every other version of standard I’ve used the Oracle […]

ColdFusion documentation has had an interesting journey over the last few years. From a wiki-based approach to an Adobe-unified approach, the docs have come a long way and are ever evolving. Today, we have launched a unified and one-stop destination for all things docs. We have revamped the docs site and made it more centralized. Visit the new and improved ColdFusion User Guide (https://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/user-guide.html). The new layout is user-friendly and makes navigation easier.

ColdFusion, or CF, is a particularly rapid web app development platform which comes with a range of different advantages. This is the main reason for which it’s preferred – because it is able to deliver particularly high performance, regardless of the used language.

With over 20 years of experience in using ColdFusion, […]

This is not associated with or sponsored by Adobe but i would expect that they do pay attention to […]
So on the discussion thread the other day someone asked about links to slides from the ColdFusion Summit. Turns out there was one but it got me thinking about CF.Objective 2017 that happened in DC on July 20th and 21st this year. More info on CF.Objective can be found here. So far there isn’t any news on if it will be held this year but it is still early yet. There are a few links on the site to some […]
