RE: String to Int
Very Interesting. Maybe one of the Gurus here can enlighten us. I have used the Attribute variables in many SQL queries. Here is an example query I use: SELECT AssetName, ... FROM Asset WHERE AssetID = #ATTRIBUTES.AssetID# AssetID is a select box value in the previous form. This query has never given me a problem.

RE: String to Int
if you're using SQL server 7 you should _always_ use Val() in CFQUERY tags when expecting an integer because if your CFQUERY says: SELECT foo FROM bar WHERE id=#url.id# and someone changes the URL from: www.mysite.com/qwe.cfm?id=1 to www.mysite.com/qwe.cfm?id=1;delete%20from%20bar then what gets thrown to the dB is: SELECT foo FROM bar WHERE id=1;delete from bar and sql server 7 treats this as 2 valid sql statements and runs it You should write: SELECT foo FROM bar WHERE id=#Val(url.id)# Bert > -Original Message- > From: Maia, Eric [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: 31 January 2001 19:21 > To: CF-Talk > Subject: RE: String to Int > > > I think this server is running ColdFusion 4.5.1, and it's > accessing SQL > Server 7. > > > -Original Message- > > From: Maia, Eric [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > > Sent: Tuesday, January 30, 2001 17:07 > > To: CF-Talk > > Subject: RE: String to Int > > > >I now use > #Val(string_variable)# when I > > know I'll need an integer (e.g. inserting into a numeric DB column). ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

Weird ODBC Errors with CF - Stumped
This week we switched our client storage to db based storage and moved it out of the registry. Since then we have been receiving numerous ODBC errors that have even brought the CF server down at times. "ODBC Error Code = 01000 (General warning) [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][TCP/IP Sockets]ConnectionRead (recv())." AND "ODBC Error Code = 01000 (General warning) [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][TCP/IP Sockets]ConnectionWrite (send())." Microsofts site has been of no help and our host has never seen this error before. So I come to all the experts on this list asking for some assistance. The network connection between the Web Server and CF has been tested and is working. We have the latest ODBC drivers from MS. When we revert back to registry based storage the problems go away. I think it is just the increased load do to the session db writing that is causing these errors. Has anyone here come across this error before? Any ideas of things to try?

RE: Windows 2000 Professional and CF Server 4.0.1
Well, I'm not much of an win person... but doesn't the installer keep a log of all system changes made? I mean, an installer can't do anything you can't do by hand. Try exporting the applicable registry tree from the NT4 system, copying any dlls required into the system directory on the 2k system, then do a straight file copy (if you need to make any reg changes for differing drives do so). I'm not sure exactly what's changed between the NT versions that would effect CF, but the system libraries may be newer and slightly (or completely) incompatible versions that effect the functionality of certain tags. If your time and lack of newer features is worth the money you might save, might as well give it a try. -Original Message- From: Jim McAtee [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: January 31, 2001 14:12 To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Windows 2000 Professional and CF Server 4.0.1 Zac, Thanks.

removing whitespace (was RE: Statistics on Toy R Us)
I've found that the easiest way to reduce the amount of whitespace is to remove it from the actual templates once they've been deleloped, though it obviously means your file back up system needs to be pretty, er, well backed up. Here's what i do: 1. develop on one server and use visual source safe. 2. Load the templates up to the test server from VSS 3. use a little app i wrote that uses CFFILE and Lee Borkman's CF_LESSWHITESPACE tag to rip out any whitespace and empty lines from the actual CFM files 4. If it still works (and it hasn't failed yet) then thats what goes up to the live server As i say, it does mean that you need to be _sure_ that you're not messing up your original files, but other than that it seems to work a treat. Removing carriage returns too would be nice, but i haven't had time to make sure any js wasn't messed up. It also has the benefit of discouraging anyone from making changes to the templates on the test or live servers - they're kind of hard to read Bert > -Original Message- > From: Steve Martin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: 31 January 2001 11:48 > To: CF-Talk > Subject: RE: Statistics on Toy R Us > > > > > Apparently the removewhitespace setting only applies to > > > whitespace internal to tags > > > e.g. > > > > > > datasource="dsn" > > > dbtype="odbc"> > > > > I know this is a dumb question, but WHAT F***ING USE IS THAT? > > > The internal CRs do bleed into the generated text so the all new super > snazzy removewhitespace does actually remove _some_ whitespace. > > > ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

Yes, we do know about views, but have not yet created them in IQ... although we have created extensive indexes and and yes, it is newer and different from SQL Advantage in a number of annoying ways. We are using IQ for our datawarehouse needs. Hopefully when we get it all working it will be as speedy as we know it has to be. Thanks again. Carol Carol L.

RE: Advanced Security in CF 4.5
During the install of ColdFusion Server, you must specify whether or not you would like to install Advanced Security. If you do not see it listed under "Basic Security" in the ColdFusion administrator, then you have not installed it. Advanced Security does come with ColdFusion Professional. However, the Advanced Security in ColdFusion Professional does not give you the ability to create Security Sandboxes. Benjamin S.

OT:I know NOTHING about Crystal Reports!
Hey all! As is the nature of our business, I had something thrown in my lap yesterday, and I'm just trying to figure out if Crystal Reports will accomplish this or not... Basically, we need a way to allow users to generate reports on the fly via their web browsers (we don't want to install anything on the client machines) based on different criteria. Once the report is generated, we want to dump the report info to Excel so that users can manipulate it as needed. I am looking into Crystal Reports 8 (Developer Ed.), and I THINK it can do this, but I'm not entirely sure. I want to know 100% for sure if Crystal Reports would be the way to do this before we go ahead and hire an outside contractor for Crystal Reports (our skill here aren't strong enough to do this in the timeframe management is asking for)... Any input is greatly appreciated! BTW, we are using CF 4.0, Oracle, and need to design for both NN and IE, 4.X and up. Thanks! Terri ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

RE: Help needed with ODBC Excel datasource problems...
Ok...the link table didn't work. The values still come up as numbers, and
Access won't allow me to change the values. Philip's solution of creating a
new field is likely not feasible with my client, as he'll have toi convince
all customers who create these spreadsheets to make this change, and input
only in the correct field.
However...I did an IMPORT in Access, and that imported perfectly. Does
anyone know of a script or a custom tag that will automate the importing of
an external Excel spreadsheet into an Excel database?

The Excel ODBC driver is notoriously bad - even using a Link table produces
the same problem
Once it decides on a field type, then it forces it into that mode, and the
"other" type (text/numeric) are ignored
The only way to force it is to format a row into text, but not used the Cell
Format function in Excel as that's only visual
Make a cell beside the one with data with
=Mid("'"&D2,2,Len(D2))
Where D2 is the cell to the left
This will FORCE it into text mode... it's what I had to do to get one of our
clients sheets working - they now have to add that every time they upload

Re: Performance question - CFINCLUDE versus writing a cus
Stored Procedures are a database function. I suggest looking in your database docs. I've done some work with Sybase SQL Anywhere a few years back. If memory serves me, they had something called views, which were akin to stored procedures. Don't hold me to that though. I'm not sure what you mean when you say Sybase IQ. New product? Same Product? I haven't kept up on the Sybase product line. Once you have the stored procedure created, you can reference it through SQL or using the CFSTOREDPROC tag.

BrowserHawk Extended Properties - ASP and COM?
I've just got the new copy of cyScape's BrowserHawk. I assume there's a few users of it out there since I've seen people recommend it on this list. I want to take advantage of some of the "Extended Properties" (detection of cookies, javascript enabled, plugins, etc.) which are not available through their CF custom tag, but are through ASP pages. Question is, can I call the ASP pages or the functions in them through a COM object? That way, I can avoid having to send to an ASP and redirect to CF, etc. etc. Thanks, Evan -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Evan Lavidor Circle.com Boston Tel: 617-585-3107 Fax: 617-585-3091 -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ~~ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

Query Search results (nextpage) ... WDDX?
I have a search results page that displays a max of 100 records at a shot. Sometimes the total results exceed several thousand records. In an attempt to speed up the 'next page' processing I no longer use the CFSEARCH using startrow with the CFOUTPUT query using maxrows b/c of the processing time to research all the indexes I have created. I now do the CFSEARCH and use the CFOUTPUT query using maxrow and startrow (which is calculated and passed) the first time into the form. I use WDDX to convert the results of the search and pass it. I am calling the same form over again and determine if this is the first call or a call there after. If it is not the first time, I convert the query from WDDX and run CFOUTPUT query. THE PROBLEM: Sometimes, if there are a high number of result records, there is a long processing time on the results page after the first time. Is this common with passing the results using WDDX or is there a better way to do this type of next page processing for search results? Also, when I process 'next page' more than once the BACK button on the browser is disabled and I can not get back to the original 100 results. a bit of code.FORM is SearchResult_test.cfm some processing.

The Excel ODBC driver is notoriously bad - even using a Link table produces
the same problem
Once it decides on a field type, then it forces it into that mode, and the
"other" type (text/numeric) are ignored
The only way to force it is to format a row into text, but not used the Cell
Format function in Excel as that's only visual
Make a cell beside the one with data with
=Mid("'"&D2,2,Len(D2))
Where D2 is the cell to the left
This will FORCE it into text mode... it's what I had to do to get one of our
clients sheets working - they now have to add that every time they upload

Help needed with ODBC Excel datasource problems...
Hi all-
Got a tricky one for ya. I have an Excel datasource that I need to import
into an Access DB. I've been to www.cfcomet.com (excellent site, by the
way...definitely visit for any issues with accessing MS Office Objects
through CF) which gave me a start, but I've run into a problem I can't find
addressed anywhere.
When creating an ODBC datasource for Excel, you define how many rows to scan
to allow CF to determine what the datatype of each field is. If you have
column headings in your spreadsheet, then they are automatically used as
field names when imported. I have set the number of rows to scan to 1,
hoping to force the ODBC driver to use the column headings as the
determining factor for data type determinination, and that didn't work. I
figured maybe it was skipping the first row and reading the second, so I
added "Do not alter this text" in every field in row two, again hoping to
force the datatypes to strings.
Didn't work. :( I have one particular field which, in some cases:
a) is blank,
b) has a number in it, or
c) has multiple numbers, separated by spaces (ie. 3 5 2)
For whatever reason, CF is importing this field as a number, converting the
3 to 3.0, and dropping the rest of the field. This has me stymied, because
if I can't import this spreadsheet properly, then the project is going to
die very quickly. Any ideas on how to force the datatype of the fields
being imported to strings? Is there some SQL snytax that can define in the
SELECT statement something like SELECT {fieldname} AS STRING FROM "Sheet1$"?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks...
-Kev

Re: CFID and CFTOKEN, client variables, hidden form fields
Thanks to all those who helped.
Allaire's docs do seem a little ambiguous when they say that CFID and CFTOKEN can be
passed as hidden form fields - I now see that URLTOKEN can be passed as a URL variable
to the action page that your form submits to. Interesting post on this at
http://forums.allaire.com/DevConf/Thread.cfm?&&Message_ID=308908&_#Message385663
I also tried the following technique:
if (IsDefined("Form.CFID") AND IsDefined("Form.CFTOKEN"))
{
url.cfid=form.cfid;
url.cftoken=form.cftoken;
}
which I found at
http://forums.allaire.com/DevConf/Thread.cfm?&&Message_ID=569454&_#Message569454, with
no success. Anyone else tried this technique and succeeded? A similar sort of thing is
described at
http://forums.allaire.com/DevConf/Thread.cfm?&&Message_ID=336048&_#Message336048.
In the end, we have decided to use CFID and CFTOKEN on the URL, together with randomly
generated hidden form fields as a further means of identification.

If you want to remove whitespace form non-display areas of the template, either build the code in CFScript or use CFSetting Using CFSetting does add some overhead to the template build time... but not much... You can theoretically build a white-space-less template, but it takes a LOT of work... I'm not that worried if my output has a row of returns every now and again, it only adds slightly to the total page size...

RE: Statistics on Toy R Us
I've got the remove whitespace setting applied on CF server and it doesn't seem to make any difference to the size of the completed template, I still get pages that are filled with whitespace. The only way I found to get rid of some, was to put CF comments in, this reduces the Tabed indents to a single CRLF, but theres a trade off, parsing speed against page size. In testing I've found that it reduces pages by upto 20% (depending on the page layout).

Just as a point on this - removing white-space only reduces the time that it takes to send the template to the user - using CFSETTING a lot will actually slow the server down (slightly) It's therefore a payoff as to whether you want the pages to be built faster or sent to the user faster - remembering that if you can turn more pages around on the server, then you can serve more visitors - people are willing to wait an extra second or so, but if you've got a busy site, then you've got to weigh up which one you prefer...

Re: SQL Stored Procedure Syntax help
I am not a sql guru but check out http://www.4guysfromrolla.com/webtech/010600-1.shtml There is a lot of asp examples, but the sql stuff is great. Below is a code example I grabbed from their site. The if exists() tests to see if a record has been returned. If it has, The sp returns a 1, if not it returns 0. The else could be a query or variable declaration or whatever... CREATE PROCEDURE sp_IsValidLogon @UserName varchar(16), @Password varchar(16) As if exists(Select * From Users Where UserName = @UserName And Password = @Password) return(1) else return(0) Go For anyone interested (I know your out there... ), the above is equivalent to checking a login and password in your cfquery then checking if the recordcount is greater than 0 and logging the user in if so. With this code: SELECT Username, Password FROM Users WHERE Username = '#username#' AND Password = '#password#' User Exists New User So how would one call the SP and why? How first... First I added a table called user into the stock NorthWind database that comes with SQL Server with two columns (username,password) and added one record with the username as "test" and the password as "test". Then I added the SP into sql server with a quick cut & paste. Finally below is the code that does exactly the same thing as the above CF code. User Exists New User Why would one do it with an SP? No code hunting if you change a db field later on, just change the stored procedure and any cf page using it will go on without one change. Keeping your queries in one place is nice too. Who cares though, it's speed that matter right? How about performace? Well this one surprised me. The is quite a bit faster with one record in the db! In very unscientific tests, I looped each bit of code 1000 times and the cfquery came in consistently around 1500 ms and the cfstoredproc came in at around 2000 ms. Ok, I said, there must be a reason. So I decided to add more records. I added 88 more records, which consisted of me alternating between banging on the keyboard and hitting tab 176 times into the table to approximate average internet users ;-) Quite fun... Any way, with 89 records the cfstoredproc barely budged, maybe up a few ms on average. The cfquery however now averages 1750ms! Well more banging ensued. Now I have 463 users. cfstored proc is hanging is there not budging a ms, it's still at 2000 or so, but the cfquery page is now at 2700ms. Aha! Speed... Well, I still wasn't satisfied. So I deleted the user "test" record so that neither query would return any results. Guess what? The cfquery stuck to it's guns going up a little to 2900ms this time, but cfstoredproc skyrocketed to an average 3400ms. I then inserted the test user back into the table as the last record. Nothing changed. Inserting the test user back to the first record and the speed record goes back to cfstoredproc. I suspect the reason behind this is the way I am determining if the record exists. If the sp only returned a recordset it would probably be faster in both cases, but since this post started out with demonstrating an if in SQL (2.5 Mountain Dews ago), I'm not going to verify it now. Perhaps someone in the know could enlighten me? Generally though, the more complex a query and the more records it returns, the larger the performance gain with stored procedures...
