Cold Fusion In Hawaii

There is a way to use ColdFusion to find out what MySQL driver you are using. Since MySQL is the main database server used on the Mac this may come in handy, well it does for me.

<cfset MySQL_remote = createObject("java",
"java.lang.Class").forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance()>

<cfdump var="#MySQL_remote#">
<cfoutput>Your Current MySQL JDBC Driver is</cfoutput>
<cfdump var="#MySQL_remote.getMajorVersion()#">.<cfdump var="#MySQL_remote.getMinorVersion()#">

Well I am once again thinking about starting cfhawaii `-`

In the past I tried to start a ColdFusion user group here in Honolulu. After I took a ColdFusion course in the Computer Science department (ICS 415) in the Spring of 2005, I was hooked on ColdFusion and I thought that it would be wonderful to have a user group here, but there was so little turnout about the group I did not pursue it futher. Now I am thinking about it again, thinking that it would just be the greatest thing to hang out with others interested in ColdFusion to hear about what they are working and to just experience learning and help each other, and not to mention having great talks by the experts.

I know we are isolated in Hawaii, but maybe it is possible`-`
