developing database driven website

by mkreuser . Updated 24 years, 9 months ago

Hello —

HTML developer here delving into the database driven website realm and need some help.

Trying to come up with the best combination of technologies to go forward with. SQL Server is probably too expensive now, but getting ColdFusion might be an option if the justification was there.

Here are the options I am exploring, but would welcome other suggestions:

1. ColdFusion/MySQL
2. ColdFusion/Access
3. ASP/MySQL
4. ASP/Access

Any help in coming up with a determinationof which route to go would be appreciated. I have limited ASP programming knowledge, but none using it to access databases. Are the main advantages (response time withstanding) to going with CF that you have more inherent functionality and a quicker learning curve?

Thanks,
Michael
