INTRODUCTIONColdFusion can use any database that has Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) drivers. Please refer to your database vendor's documentation for details.Here is a list of the tools and resources that you need to build your Web applications with ColdFusion and to follow along in the book:ColdFusion. At a minimum, you need access to a Web server with ColdFusion installed and your datasources configured on it. Also, a text editor of your choice is required to create ColdFusion templates.ColdFusion Studio. If you intend to do serious ColdFusion development, I strongly urge you to invest in a copy of ColdFusion Studio, a development component much like Visual InterDev for Active Server Pages from Microsoft. Studio uses dialog boxes and wizards to help you write code. All examples in the book were written with ColdFusion Studio.A sample database and database application: I use the Northwind sample database that ships with Microsoft Access as the basis for most of the examples in the book. Northwind is a fictitious specialty foods company, and the sample database contains employees, products, orders, and so on, referenced in the examples. It may help to have a copy of that database handy to add to some of the examples on your own. You will also need the ODBC driver for your database system.Conventions Used in This BookIn addition to clear, concise steps and illustrations that form the heart of this book, you will find special elements such as the Note and Tip icons, which provide additional information about a feature of the program and suggest techniques and shortcuts, respectively.
