Enhanced database exploration
Dreamweaver MX enhances database exploration in the following ways.
• For ColdFusion, you have the option of accessing the RDS server using ColdFusion
data sources.
• When working with connection dialog boxes you can create new types of connections and let
users duplicate or edit an existing connection.
• When you manage connections for a particular table, you can get a list of column objects, each
of which holds the name and type of a column, or you can get a list of columns comprising the
primary key. For a particular connection, you can get a list of procedure objects. For a
particular procedure, you can get a list of parameter objects.
You can also delete a connection.
There are 24 new functions supporting this new feature. Some of these functions handle database
connections and the others handle database access. For more information on these new functions,
see “The Database API” on page 311.
Enhanced external application integration
Flash Integration
Dreamweaver MX lets you determine whether Flash 6 is installed and, if it is, it gets the name of
the Flash editor and its location so you can launch the Flash editor programmatically. For more
information on these two new functions, see “External application functions” on page 441.
