Here's my situation. The client wants support for disaster and fail over
on both the web server and database side.
Specifically, they want the cold fusion app to be able to dynamically point
to the backup database if the primary one is down. The snippet that was I
given as a sample polls the databases in the Application.cfm file as follows:
Run test query on primary database
if query is successful
set application.dsn to primary
else
run test query on secondary
if query is successful
set application.dsn to secondary
else
return error message
endif
endif
My concern is for the efficiency and load implications of this. Will this
slow my app down substantially? Would running this snippet every minute or
so as a background task be better? Is there a better way?
Thanks,
Noel Rappin
