Introduction to Databases and SQL

Macromedia ColdFusion MX lets you create dynamic applications to access and modify data stored in a database. You do not need a thorough knowledge of databases to develop ColdFusion applications, but you must know some basic concepts and techniques. This chapter contains an overview of many important database and SQL concepts.

This chapter does not contain a complete description of database theory and SQL syntax. Each database server (such as SQL Server, Oracle, or DB2) has unique capabilities and properties. For more information, see the documentation that ships with your database server.
