ColdFusion lets you create dynamic applications to access and modify data stored in a database. You do not require a thorough knowledge of databases to develop ColdFusion applications, but you must know some basic database and SQL concepts and techniques.

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.
