RE: How can I do this (Query external data source)?
I second Chris' suggestion. I use a stub program that runs on the remote server. it is invoked via CFHTTP It receives a WDDX packet containing only SQL Statements (you probably should not pass the userid and pw) It deserializes the WDDX packet, issues the SQL query, and serializes the record set into another WDDX packet which is returned to the CFHTTP. As a variation, you don't even need CF on the remote machine... the stub could be written in Perl, ASP, PHP, whatever. It is a great tool for migrating a db from one server to another, back-ending one site with another, etc. Dick At 5:35 PM -0400 9/29/00, Christopher Olive, CIO wrote: >why not use WDDX or something like that? > >write a robot like action page (no HTML) that queries the DB and wraps the >results in a WDDX package. then on your internal page, CFHTTP to that >external robot page, grab the packet, decode it, and go nuts. > >chris olive, cio >cresco technologies >[EMAIL PROTECTED] >http://www.crescotech.com > > > >-Original Message- >From: Claremont, Timothy S [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] >Sent: Friday, September 29, 2000 11:13 AM >To: CF-Talk >Subject: How can I do this (Query external data source)? > > >Please pardon the lousy subject line.

The core mail services are extremely efficient as they are (I know, because I have used alot eof MTA's - both NT and UNIC based - extensively), but add those to the power of CF and SQL and anything is possible - and more.

Re: query caching?
Depending on the totality of what you anticipate is going to be happening at any given time, you can: 1) let CF cache the queries... this is especially good if you anticipate that there will be a lot of similar queries as in drill-downs, or several users making identical queries (skewed popularity of certain items), e.g. today's specials, hot items, etc. 2) cache the queries yourself... more work for you, less for the db server 3) spew the recordset to the client (easy with WDDX), then do the drill-down at the client. OK, if the user has the bandwidth, and a fast client machine (you can often assume/dictate this in a B2B application) 4) spew the recordset to the client as JavaScript array: more work for you at the CF server much less bandwith than a WDDX packet much less work at the client Hmmm... 10 seconds to query sounds like some db redesign may be in order. This will vary with the db engine, but there are things you can do. I noticed that your db is denormalized (ProductsCategory, ProductsKeyWords, and maybe ProductsStyleNumber). If you haven't already tried it, you might experiment with normalizng these... & let the db engine do its thing.

RE: DB vs. text file
Why don't you try loading the query into an application variable? In your application.cfm (or equivalent) check to see if the variable is initialized (remember to use a read-only lock for this). If it isn't, do your database read, and then load the results of that query into an application variable (this will require an exclusive lock - but just lock the CFSET, not the CFQUERY). That way, the only time that the query will need to be executed is when the application times out. You will also need to use a read-only lock whenever you reference this application variable, but that shouldn't be too complicated or add too much overhead. If you want to force a refresh of the values, set up a task that simply requeries and reloads that application variable. I'm doing this on a couple of sites with a bunch of queries that populate drop down list boxes and it's working well for me.

Re: query caching?
Yeah. By the way these columns are searched (and named) it indicates that they likely (pun intended) contain multiple values: RecordID #00022 Keywords='this,that,another...' A column with multiple values violates the first normal form: each column should be atommic. or another common approach: RecordID #00022 Keyword1='this' Keyword2='that' Keyword3='another' ... Here the record contains repeating columns of "like" data. as opposed to separate occurrences of a single column in a child table: keyword ParentID record #7 this00022 record #99 that00022 record #2 another 00022 From a performance view, it generally means that the db engine needs to read each record in the db and scan each of these fields for the desired values to, satisfy the query. Here, each record must be accessed and then scanned to determine whether it is accepted or eliminated. With a normalized situation, the target records can be located by manipulating the indexes with no need to scan the fields (unless partial keywords are used). Records which do not contain the desired keyword(s) do *not* need to be accessed, to be eliminated. Most modern db engines are optimized to handle this situation quite efficiently.

Re: Client & Session variables?
Thanks for that Paul. Now as a complete beginner with Session Management (never had to use it). I've followed instructions on the site below, and it's working fine afaik. But how about implementing it straight into a site? For example on one of my sites I have a Members section which they can personalise - they login in using their username and password... So if the user and pass is OK, the rest of the page is displayed. What I'd like to do is after successful validation, use client vars in a DB so that they will be logged in automatically next time.

Re: Client & Session variables?
I just noticed the URLed article contains the following: Personally, I require cookies on all of my sites, and I then provide adequate security and cookie information to the users who are refusing or unable to accept cookies so they know why we require them. I prefer setting CFID and CFTOKEN to a "session-only" cookie so that the session is destroyed when the user closes their browser: I then detect whether the user is able/willing to accept cookies, and redirect them to an information page if they are not, using some permutation of: === I did some testing recently, and found if the browser was set to NOT accept cookies, that the above session-only/browser-only cookies were accepted.

Re: Authentication
If all you want is CC authorization before adding a record to the db, then you can do it easily with CF and a call to Cybercash (for example). Most ISPs provide this linkage through a custom CF tag. There are some in the tag gallery.

Re: [Re: Client & Session variables?]
Good articles. But it's almost the same as the one in Cold Fusion Journal. I'm not sure which one was written first. Also, some of the query will not work in this article. For instance, those ideas about checking client.LastVisit are wrong. Also, you need to do something to the User on the login page. Otherwise those two tables in CVR DB are wrong.

Re: query caching?
Unfortunately with the large amount of items that the customer has control of, they can add and delete items at will. Letting CF cache queries wont work since there are no static queries (unless..just had a thought, see below). Maybe as we go on and collect some statistics as to what is popular. This will also be a consumer based site, not b2b. So 56k must be taken into account. The data structure as it came from the client was horrible, we have done quite a bit of tweaking, but I liked the idea of indivual keywords per field. That would definately be more efficient, but each item can have many keywords attached to it. These are like that company that does the url keywords for msn...you type it in and you get the products that match that keyword. We have a keyword search that searches all item descriptions also... I had a thought as I was typing this...What if I queried 20 records at a time and displayed only 10. Then took the remaining ten and assigned them to an array. When the user clicked next I could display the contents of the array...seems very doable to me. What do you think?

creating word docs and excel sheets on the fly...
I asked this question a couple days ago and received no responses, so I'm beginning to believe this is not possible. I need to create a word doc or excel spreadsheet based upon a set of queries. I know how to pass raw data into these new documents, that's no problem.

Re: query caching?
CF caches dynamic queries, too. It includes the SQL to distinguish one dynamic query from another. For example, since #REQUEST.alpha# has the value of each of the 26 letters in the alphabet, the following query is chached in 26 different Queries, even though in my CF code I refer to all as REQUEST.GetHeadingsFirstLetter: SELECT Class_ID,Class_Name,Pages FROM YellowPages (nolock) WHERE Class_Name LIKE '#REQUEST.alpha#%' ORDER BY Class_Name In addition, there is no limit on the number of queries CF will cache. (The oft-noted limit of 100 is wrong.) Of course, whether you want to, or should, cache queries in this way depends on many factors such as available memory, use a Structure instead, etc. best, paul At 03:08 PM 9/30/00 -0400, you wrote: >Unfortunately with the large amount of items that the customer has control >of, they can add and delete items at will.

Letting CF cache queries wont >work since there are no static queries The large # of items and the ability to update/insert/delete items at will, does not *necessarily* mean than CF caching wont help... follow me on this: There is an old rule that often applies to parts, inventories, etc... the 80-20 rule. After observing activity against large inventories it was found that: about 80% of the activity was against 20% of the items, and vice-versa You often can apply this same "rule" to query activity. If so, you will have a few high-activity, similar, queries; and many, many low-activity dissimilar queries. drill-down accentuates this, as you will be repeating the high-activity queries. So, if you can let CF cache the queries. The similar, high-activity queries will tend to remain cached. So, you can significantly improve performance of a significant part (80%) of the overall system... even if the components of the queries change frequently (requiring re-caching) Now, the probability is that the "changes affecting caching" will be a small (or zero) percentage of the queries during peak periods... then you *do* have "static" queries... at least for a useful amount of time. I have done this successfully using cachedafter on the queries. set an application variable for each main table (used in all the queries) application.PartsLastUpdatedAt = now() update this each time you add/delete/change anything which will affect the queries reference this variable as the cachedafter designation in all the queries. The beauty of this is that it is sell-tuning. There is much potential gain & very little overhead, Here is the best part, you can easily try this, with a little timing routine, and see if you have enough similar queries to benefit. In a similar way, you can experiment with normalized child tables for the keywords, etc, without affecting the existing db structure... Just create a (bastard) child table (no foreign key constraint) for testing. Populate the child table by extracting the keywords from the parent. Then write a simple query template to time the same query with the child and without. If this gives improvement, then look into the indexing options of your specific database... you may be able to improve it even more. >(unless..just had a thought, see >below). >Maybe as we go on and collect some statistics as to what is popular. > >This will also be a consumer based site, not b2b.

One bigger browser-server connection may be faster than many smaller browser-server connections. This is especially significant when the network is congested & it could take 2-3 seconds to establish each connection. Also you would not need to repeat the queries for drill-down. For example, your code indicated that you would return a max of 500 rows. If each row required 100 characters to be transmitted to the browser that's 10-20 seconds for the largest query. (and no additional browser-server connections to do the drill down). >The data structure as it came from the client was horrible, we have done >quite a bit of tweaking, but I liked the idea of indivual keywords per >field.

If you have the disk storage to afford a child table, the db engine can process this much more efficiently. Try it...

Re: storing CF code in a database
Sure. It's easy. Just use a query to store it and later retrieve it and run it with evaluate(variable).

Reading a file one line at a time with CFfile?
I have a text file that is 1315 characters wide, which is an exported Cobol database that I reed to go through one record/line at a time and do some mid() calls to retreive certain fields and insert them into an Access table. I am unsure how to walk thru the file line by line. I do know how to use mid() though. I could sure use some help here.

If they don't have cookies enabled, then I believe a new cfid and cftoken will be created on every click since CF won't know that it's the same person clicking.

So to summarize, as long as they have cookies enabled and come back before the client variables are deleted from the database, then yes, your method will work. If they don't have cookies enabled or come back after the data is purged, it won't. -- Bud Schneehagen - Tropical Web Creations _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ ColdFusion Solutions / eCommerce Development [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.twcreations.com/ 954.721.3452 -- Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ To Unsubscribe visit http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists&body=lists/cf_talk or send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with 'unsubscribe' in the body.
Re: Reading a file one line at a time with CFfile?
With CFFILE you're only able to read the entire file into a variable. Treat the file contents as a list, using carriage returns and/or line feeds as delimiters. Because of the way CF handles lists and delimiters, the following code works regardless of whether carriage returns, line feeds or any comibination of the two were used between lines. ...

Re: Client & Session variables?
Right. New cfid/cftoken every click (in IE). However, if the user selects the following in Netscrape: "Accept only cookies that get sent back to the originating server" Then state is maintained from one click to the next (and I assume no cookie is set on the users machine). best, paul At 05:46 PM 9/30/00 -0400, you wrote: >If they don't have cookies enabled, then I believe a new cfid and >cftoken will be created on every click since CF won't know that it's >the same person clicking.

Re: Client & Session variables?
Well, there are cookies. They're in the browser only, and not set on the user's machine.

Upsizing Problems using access 2000 to sql
I am trying to upsize some of my tables that are full of data upsized fine according to the upsize report whilst other tables with little data did not table one table as an example Properties Categories it has 2 fields in it an id field that is the primary key and a category field the id field is auto number (and yes I have converted it to just number and still not go same error) and the category field is simply a text field in the upsize report it says table was skipped or upsize failed in comparison I then have a guest comments table with around 15 fields that has around 40 records in the table its id field is set to auto number there is a data/time field as well along with plenty of differ text fields in the upsize report this table "guest comment" upsized perfectly. your words of wisdom would be appreciated also does anyone know a url link where I can download enterprise manager. As I do not have a copy of sql server I was wanting to admin the sql database via the access 2000 front end without having to buy sql and also learn a new database package Kind Regards Claude Raiola (Director) AustralianAccommodation.com Pty.
