The Byte Stops Here

Just saw this. MSSQLTips.com was asked: "Is Microsoft SQL Server superior to MySQL or not? What are the pros and cons of using SQL Server over MySQL? Is MySQL mature enough to compete with a big player like Microsoft and Oracle? Can we fairly compare both products?"

Read their answer @ http://www.mssqltips.com/tip.asp?tip=1920&ctc.

Saw this, and it looks pretty impressive.

I hope ColdFusion Builder can take advantage of this!

Just an FYI. I ran CFQueryParam Scanner (latest from RiaForge) on my local CF9 box, and got this error:

Invalid name for user-defined function.
The name Variables.Struct contains illegal characters.
The CFML compiler was processing:
* A cffunction tag beginning on line 4, column 2.
The error occurred in \qpscanner\index.cfm: line 4

I changed the function named "Variables.Struct" to "Variables_Struct" and ran it to get this error:
Variable STRUCT is undefined.
The error occurred in \qpscanner\index.cfm: line 16

This is directly in competition to a service like OpenDNS, which has a lot of value-add. Public DNS seems bare bones, and is based on proprietary DNS software. In the FAQ, when asked if they used BIND, they said: "No. Google Public DNS is Google's own implementation of the DNS standards." Looks like the war to get a faster, better experience surfing and resolution experience and overcome some of the archaic legacy DNS issues has finally begun! Woo-hoo!
