Re: CFMBB 0.81 Released
Rick,
I just downloaded CFMBB and I had a question to ask you. Why do you use varchar as the ID field for your table in the databases? I have been baffled by this when I saw the plethora of usage that is rampant in the CF world. I am more of a DB guy with the bulk of my work on MS SQL 2000 and one of the things I learned about all databases is that they really like numbers over alphanumerics because they have to translate those alphanumerics into something that is readable before they can do any operations. Do most CFers just not dig around into databases or good DB development/admin? Anyway, I will probably end up tweaking CFMBB so that it goes with numbers instead. Plus, I really like using stored procedures and are more efficient than ad hoc queries (in my opinion, of course you will find many who argue otherwise).
