Cold Fusion / MySQL? Which one is better?

[sgtpepper]

I am slowing learning PHP programming. I am building simple databases using php/mysql. I also use Dreamweaver for HTML. I know the DreamWeaver is the editor for Cold Fusion.

Is it possible to make simple databases with DreamWeaver without learning 'code'?

I guess I am asking if DreamWeaver and ColdFusion together create a simple database authoring tool...without the need to know programming to get things done.

Ok...I am looking for an easier way to code databases. There...I said it.

With this said...does anyone know of a place that will give me a test Cold Fusion database?

Cold Fusion sucks ass

stay as far away from it as you can

MySql is the only way to go.

coldfusion is a language, like PHP, ASP, JSP, etc..

MySQL is a database. so you could use coldfusion to access a mysql database. i'd stick to PHP though, if you're looking to play around, as coldfusion costs money to license, and as such is typically not offered in this market (or if so, at a price higher than PHP hosting, etc...)

basically the same depends on how the scripts are written to access these database, but im using mysql.

mysql runs on unix and is a database
coldfusion is programming language on windows server.
