Not trying to be contradictive here (maybe a little bit) or rain on anyones parade, but I’ve been hearing and seeing loads of fuss from people who are “just waiting” for ColdFusion 9 ORM to be released, or some people who have projects where ColdFusion 9 ORM “would suit just perfectly”.

I’ve just published the last piece of the puzzle. For those who read my last blog post, you should be already familiar with the “a day series”

There’s a few ways to accomplis this task, but lately I found that the easiest way if to use ColdFusion Admin itself, and let it do all the work for you. here’s how I do it, assuming you have ColdFusion 8 multi-server configuration already installed:
