Re: CF Query Column Order - Random?

2001-02-09 Thread David Shadovitz

Let me expand on Michael's mention of WDDX.  (Thanks, Michael, for
pointing me in this direction.)

The WDDX packet contains a "recordset" tag which has a "fieldNames"
attribute.  The value of this "fieldNames" attribute is a list of the
fields in the same order as they appear in the SELECT clause.  So you can
convert the query to WDDX, get the correctly-ordered column names from
the packet, throw out the WDDX packet, and then loop over the column
names to output the original query.  (I don't know if that's what Michael
meant, but it works for me.)

Here's some sample code.

1. Make the query
cfquery name="qEmpData"select empID, empName, empSalary as Salary from
Employees/cfquery

2. Convert the query to WDDX.
cfwddx action="cfml2wddx" input=#qEmpData# output='qEmpDataWDDX'

The packet looks like this:
wddxPacket version='0.9'header/headerdatarecordset rowCount='5'
fieldNames='EMPID,EMPNAME,SALARY'field name='EMPID'...

3. Get the "fieldNames" part of the packet
cfset fieldNamesStart = "fieldNames='"
cfset fieldNamesStartPos =
FindNoCase(fieldNamesStart,qEmpDataWDDX)+Len(fieldNamesStart)
cfset tmp = Right(qDataWDDX,Len(qEmpDataWDDX)-fieldNamesStartPos)
cfset fieldNamesStop = "'"
cfset fieldNamesLen = FindNoCase(fieldNamesStop,tmp)
cfset colList = Mid(qEmpDataWDDX,fieldNamesStartPos,fieldNamesLen)

4. Ignore the WDDX packet.

5. Loop over the query rows and columns.
table border="1" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="5"
!--- Header row ---
trcfloop index="iCol" from="1"
to="#ListLen(colList)#"thcfoutput#Trim(ListGetAt(colList,iCol))#/c
foutput/th/cfloop/tr
!--- Data ---
cfloop query="qEmpData"
   tr
   cfloop index="iCol" from="1" to="#ListLen(colList)#"
  cfset colName = Trim(ListGetAt(colList,iCol))
  cfoutputtd#Evaluate(colName)#/td/cfoutput
   /cfloop
   /tr
/cfloop
/table

To be safe, you could wrap step #3 in a CFTRY/CFCATCH block, and if there
is an error, set colList to the ColumnList query property.  You wouldn't
get the nice column ordering, but at least it'd work.

I'm aware of these other methods for getting the query columns in the
right order:

* Parse the SQL statement's SELECT clause into your own ColumnList, and
then loop over that.  This can be tricky, since fields may be designated
in many ways, such as {Employees.empID, empID, empID as ID,
Employees.empID "ID",empID "ID", etc.}
* Use CFOBJECT to get an ADO recordset
* Nate's CFX_QueryColumns tag

 When you make a CFQUERY, the variable queryName.columnList 
 variable returns a list of field names from the query. However, this
 order doesn't appear to reflect the order of columns from the SELECT
 statement, or the table itself. Is there some logic to how its ordered?
 And, is there a way to access the columns in the  order of the
 SELECT statement?

Hi everybody!

I've got this page which works until you have more than 1300ish records, and
then the page comes back completely blank! Not even CF debugging!

The problem occurs in a simple loop:

cfloop query="Q_GetAllCustomers"

RE: Problem with Insert Using Select

You answered your own question in your last paragraph - you _can_ put
constants and expressions in your select statement.

Try something like this:

INSERT into tbl (MyUUID, name, VersionID)
SELECT '#CreateUUID()#', name, VersionID + 1
FROM tbl
WHERE MYUUID = '#form.MyUUID#'

Subject: Problem with Insert Using Select


I want to insert new records into a table which has MyUUID as its primary
key as well as a column, VersionId, which needs to be updated.  Each new
record should be identical to the old record, except for a new MyUUID and an
incremented VersionID.  For example, this old record:

MyUUID:  BT784-PI89
MyName: Smith
VersionID: 1

should have its corresponding new record:
MyUUID:  A622T-U8FF
MyName: Smith
VersionID: 2

I can't use the query syntax:
INSERT into tbl (MyUUID, name, VersionID)
SELECT MyUUID, name, VersionID
FROM tbl
WHERE MYUUID = '#form.MyUUID#'

because that would be overwriting (making non-unique) the UUID, not to
mention the version number.

Is there a way to do the insert with the Select as well as a dynamically
generated uuid?  In other words, to simultaneously use the select for given
columns (MyName) and passed-in values for other columns(MyUUID, VersionID).

I need this to work with CF4.5; any ideas?

Thanks ahead of time,

You could use CFHTTP to do a GET on the URL. If it fails then it's not
valid.. (I'd keep a running log of the number of times, then you can say
after 4 times in a week, then the link must be down.)

I am also working on a site for a company that installed the same

files work fine there. The only difference is they're running IIS and 
I'm running WS Pro. But the tech guy at securepay tested my test 
files on his server with WS Pro also, same version, and it works fine 
for him.

Anyone have an idea why this would be happening?

A question for you.

I have inherited an access db upsized to SQL7 that has some nasty column

the SQL statement using a single quote returns the literal string within the
quote and using a backtick to set it off generates an error in CF.  So how
does one specify the target column name for an alias?

ex

SELECT  `home phone` AS PHONE
FROM EMPLOYEE
or
SELECT   `TBR@40` AS TBR  
FROM EMPLOYEE
produce a syntax error and 

SELECT 'home phone' AS PHONE
FROM EMPLOYEE

RE: Combinations

2001-02-09 Thread Windle, Kevan

If your're doing it in Cf then sounds like you need to do it in the
database. Something like this depending what you're using.
1 Build first query for add direct links and add to a temp table.
2 Then get a query with just the departure and not destination.
3Add these to temp table or query and link by destination-to-departure to a
second query of those with destination and not departure.
4 Add this list to your original temp table.
5 To go down further levels you could repeat step 3 with an intermediate
link
  
(departure only) linked from destination to departure (all departures)
linked from destination to departure (destination only)
  Add these to your original temp table
And so on

Subject: Combinations


I've been struggling a bit with a search function.

Scenario:
I'm trying to build a search function that finds a any combinations of
voyages (seafaring shipping company client) that match the search criteria
of departure and arrival port. There is also some date qualification, but
that will just complicate the description so I'll leave that out for now.
Basically I'm trying to find a way to get combinations of voyages that meet
the search criteria without doing endless looping which has been proven to
not work without timing out.

I have all of the individual voyages in a single table with the
departure/arrival ports and dates. Finding a single voyage that matched the
citeria was simple by using a single query and outputting the results. Next,
I tried using one query to find any voyages that left from the desired
departure port and another to find any that arrived in the desired port.
Then I looped through the first set of results while looping through the
second set inside that loop and using a cfif statement to see if any two
voyages combined matched the requirements and output any true results. It's
not particularly fast, but it works.

Problem:
I tried to continue this logic with another query to get any remaining
voyages with another embedded loop an expanded logic statement to see if any
remaining voyage could connect a voyage from the first set with a voyage
from the second set. This simply times out before it can complete, and
theoretically I need to this process to continue until it finds all possible
combinations that can fit together to meet the search criteria.

It's sort of like finding a combinations of flights that could get someone
from New York to Los Angeles. He could get a direct flight, or a flight from
NY to Chicago then from Chicago to LA. Or, from NY to Chicago, Chicago to
Denver, Denver to LA. etc

I thought the solution could be narrowing the number of comparisons by
embedding a query in the loop that just retrieved possible connections for
each departure and arrival set that it was going to compare instead of
comparing all remaining voyages for a valid connection voyage, but running
that many queries seemed to actually make it slower.

In one example I have about 30 voyages that leave from the desired departure
port and about 40 that arrive in the desired arrival port which makes about
1200 possible combinations to test. That part actually works, but when I try
to compare those to another ~150+ possible connecting voyages the number
goes up very quickly to about 180,000 comparisons and would grow
exponentially as I tried to find multiple connections, but I can't even do
that without timing out.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

CFMAIL on NT

2001-02-09 Thread Simon Halcrow

Hi all

Could we have a quick show of hands for something:

We're using CF 4.5 (SP2) on NT 4 SP6 - trying to send mails using CFMAIL.
When the CF server sends to a Linux-based SMTP server, between the 2
(NT/Linux), it's stripping CR's from the mail, leaving bare LF's (i.e. each
line should end with a CR/LF - but the CR is getting stripped somewhere,
leaving only the LF).

Has anyone experienced problems with CFMAIL when using CF on an NT box,
connecting to a mailserver on a Linux box?

And, finally - how many people are using NT/Linux in this configuration.

Thanks all.

Simon.

RE: Can I display an image from a database?

2001-02-09 Thread Philip Arnold - ASP

 Is there a way you can display an image from a database in ColdFusion?
 (no need to start with the reasons not to have images in a database,
 I am way past that issue, it really is fine to have them in the
 database in this particular application).

 I want to be able to have IMG tags in my HTML that are like
 IMG SRC="/getimage.cfm?imageid=3" and then have getimage.cfm
 get the binary image data from the database and give it to
 the browser. Right now the image data is stored in Base64
 format in a text type field in the DB. I was trying to use this
 code:

 CFSETTING ENABLECFOUTPUTONLY="Yes" SHOWDEBUGOUTPUT="No"

 CFQUERY NAME="getimg" DATASOURCE="dsn"
 SELECT image from image WHERE imageid = CFQUERYPARAM
 VALUE="#Attributes.imageid#" CFSQLTYPE="CF_SQL_INTEGER"
 /CFQUERY

 CFCONTENT TYPE="image/jpeg"
 CFOUTPUT"#ToBinary(getimg.image)#/CFOUTPUT

 But this gives me this error: Expression result cannot be
 converted to a string. Expressions used inside tags like
 CFOUTPUT, CFQUERY, CFMAIL, etc. must evaluate to a value that can
 be converted to a string for output or dynamic text accumulation
 purposes. Complex objects, such as queries, arrays, and COM/DCOM
 objects, cannot be represented as strings.

In a word - DON'T - you shouldn't get image data from a database for 2
reasons;
Firstly, the OS probably won't have written the file by the time the web
server requests it
Secondly, if 10 people ask for the same file, each will have to be written,
displayed and killed later

It's easier to have a reference to the file and just put that in the IMG SRC

RE: Stop Query From Caching

2001-02-09 Thread Philip Arnold - ASP

 I have a page that calculates the shipping method after a person updates
 their cart. It looks in their shopping cart database table for the ship
 method, recalculates then redirects to the cart page.

 The problem is that sometimes the database gets changed, but the
 query runs
 off of "old" data. IE it's not making a new query.

 How can I force a query to use data from a table and not from cache?

The obvious answer is to not cache it in CF

If you need to use caching in CF, then when it's updated, use
CACHEDWITHIN="#CreateTimeSpan(0,0,0,0)#" and the same SQL - this should
refresh the cache on that one query

RE: SQL syntax for contol characters

2001-02-09 Thread Philip Arnold - ASP

 I have inherited an access db upsized to SQL7 that has some nasty column
 names, obviously won't ouput in CF without an alias.  However is formating
 the SQL statement using a single quote returns the literal string
 within the
 quote and using a backtick to set it off generates an error in CF.  So how
 does one specify the target column name for an alias?

 ex

 SELECT  `home phone` AS PHONE
 FROM EMPLOYEE
 or
 SELECT   `TBR@40` AS TBR
 FROM EMPLOYEE
 produce a syntax error and

 SELECT 'home phone' AS PHONE
 FROM EMPLOYEE

 produces 'home phone' in the field instead of the number

Use square brackets, otherwise it's a string...

SELECT [home phone] as Phone

you need to have a subselect:

that should work...

I want to insert new records into a table which has MyUUID as its primary
key as well as a column, VersionId, which needs to be updated.  Each new
record should be identical to the old record, except for a new MyUUID and an
incremented VersionID.  For example, this old record:

MyUUID:  BT784-PI89
MyName: Smith
VersionID: 1

should have its corresponding new record:
MyUUID:  A622T-U8FF
MyName: Smith
VersionID: 2

I can't use the query syntax:
INSERT into tbl (MyUUID, name, VersionID)
SELECT MyUUID, name, VersionID
FROM tbl
WHERE MYUUID = '#form.MyUUID#'

because that would be overwriting (making non-unique) the UUID, not to
mention the version number.

Is there a way to do the insert with the Select as well as a dynamically
generated uuid?  In other words, to simultaneously use the select for given
columns (MyName) and passed-in values for other columns(MyUUID, VersionID).

I need this to work with CF4.5; any ideas?

OT: Thoughs on Macromedia Takeover of Allaire

2001-02-09 Thread Martin Sutton

I've been thinking to day of the different possible scenario's we could face
as CF developers.  One of them struck me as quite amusing.

Since MM are very much into integrating with Microsoft products does this
mean we are going to start seeing "Wizards" in Access which generate CF code
along with bloated xml and the like?  Will there be CF extentions to
frontpage?!

Will CF be an intraverted technology from now on?  As developers are we
going to see our specialism disappear in a puff of smoke as CF succumbs to
the marketing machines of huge coroporations desperate to increase revenue
rather than develop technology with the end user in mind?  Are we to believe
that Microsoft and MM are customer led?  I don't think so, and in the new
age of e-business, thats what counts.  Management led e-businesses are few
and far between, or should be.

I have also heard a disturbing rumour that the ASP (Application Service
Provider not MS ASP!) industry is about to collapse.  It hasn't taken off as
expected at all.  Will this also contribute to the decline of our chosen
technology?

Martin.

Re: weather feeds

2001-02-09 Thread Douglas Jordon

Thanks.  There are several custom weather tags at Allaire. But the
Weather Channel has copy and paste code that's free and brain dead easy.
I'll stick with that unless the client wants a more nuetral look.

There is only one definite advantage that iHTML has over CF (out of the
box), apart from being free with WebsitePro;
It can create images on the fly. don't expect it's textual ones to be any
good, but it does make them

Apart from that, it's just another language that runs on a web-server

We dropped our development with iHTML a few years ago, mainly because at
that time, when it crashed it took the whole server down...

We haven't looked at the tech since then, but I'm sure it's moved on (like
CF has) since then

Re: Cold Fusion vs. Ihtml

2001-02-09 Thread Howie Hamlin

Just a few that I'm aware of (I'm not all that familiar with iHTML):

iHTML runs in the address space of the web server (not as a separate
service).  So, iHTML would be more prone to taking down a web server than
CF.

iHTML does not support COM (not sure if it supports CORBA but I doubt it).

iHTML does not have native clustering.

iHTML does not support template encryption.

Custom tags are almost non-existant.  iHTML supports extensions (iHTX) but
there are no good examples from Inline nor is there a "developer's exchange"
where you can acquire custom tags.  There is a code exchange of sorts,
though.

A few iHTML pluses that I know of:

Multi-platform support (Windows, Unix)

Devoted community (like the CF community)

You get questions answered directly from the iHTML developers consistently
(Inline).

Strong motivation by Inline to support free and open standards (Open ODBC,
MySQL, etc.)

Less pricey than CF.

Fw: Re: CF Query Column Order - Random?

2001-02-09 Thread David Shadovitz

After a night's sleep, I see that it may be simpler to outut the data
directly from the WDDX packet.  So instead of throwing the WDDX packet
away, you'd throw away your original query, and parse the packet.  This
would avoid the use of Evaluate().

Subject: Re: CF Query Column Order - Random?

Let me expand on Michael's mention of WDDX.  (Thanks, Michael, for
pointing me in this direction.)

The WDDX packet contains a "recordset" tag which has a "fieldNames"
attribute.  The value of this "fieldNames" attribute is a list of the
fields in the same order as they appear in the SELECT clause.  So you can
convert the query to WDDX, get the correctly-ordered column names from
the packet, throw out the WDDX packet, and then loop over the column
names to output the original query.  (I don't know if that's what Michael
meant, but it works for me.)

Here's some sample code.

1. Make the query
cfquery name="qEmpData"select empID, empName, empSalary as Salary from
Employees/cfquery

2. Convert the query to WDDX.
cfwddx action="cfml2wddx" input=#qEmpData# output='qEmpDataWDDX'

The packet looks like this:
wddxPacket version='0.9'header/headerdatarecordset rowCount='5'
fieldNames='EMPID,EMPNAME,SALARY'field name='EMPID'...

3. Get the "fieldNames" part of the packet
cfset fieldNamesStart = "fieldNames='"
cfset fieldNamesStartPos =
FindNoCase(fieldNamesStart,qEmpDataWDDX)+Len(fieldNamesStart)
cfset tmp = Right(qDataWDDX,Len(qEmpDataWDDX)-fieldNamesStartPos)
cfset fieldNamesStop = "'"
cfset fieldNamesLen = FindNoCase(fieldNamesStop,tmp)
cfset colList = Mid(qEmpDataWDDX,fieldNamesStartPos,fieldNamesLen)

4. Ignore the WDDX packet.

5. Loop over the query rows and columns.
table border="1" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="5"
!--- Header row ---
trcfloop index="iCol" from="1"
to="#ListLen(colList)#"thcfoutput#Trim(ListGetAt(colList,iCol))#/c
foutput/th/cfloop/tr
!--- Data ---
cfloop query="qEmpData"
   tr
   cfloop index="iCol" from="1" to="#ListLen(colList)#"
  cfset colName = Trim(ListGetAt(colList,iCol))
  cfoutputtd#Evaluate(colName)#/td/cfoutput
   /cfloop
   /tr
/cfloop
/table

To be safe, you could wrap step #3 in a CFTRY/CFCATCH block, and if there
is an error, set colList to the ColumnList query property.  You wouldn't
get the nice column ordering, but at least it'd work.

I'm aware of these other methods for getting the query columns in the
right order:

* Parse the SQL statement's SELECT clause into your own ColumnList, and
then loop over that.  This can be tricky, since fields may be designated
in many ways, such as {Employees.empID, empID, empID as ID,
Employees.empID "ID",empID "ID", etc.}
* Use CFOBJECT to get an ADO recordset
* Nate's CFX_QueryColumns tag

 When you make a CFQUERY, the variable queryName.columnList 
 variable returns a list of field names from the query. However, this
 order doesn't appear to reflect the order of columns from the SELECT
 statement, or the table itself. Is there some logic to how its ordered?
 And, is there a way to access the columns in the  order of the

the server and I still haven't started to read through the logs to see why
this happened. I'm working to keep this list up and stable with as much
energy as I can. Unfortunately, I'm doing contract for the federal reserve

that reason, I'm going to be leaving that contract as soon as I can either
find a new contract or get a solid job.

that's not exactly true. if you define the timeouts of session variables in

2001-02-09 Thread Robert Orlini

Hello,

This gets me all the time. I created a simple survey form; checked and
double-checked all fields and I still get a "Syntax error in INSERT INTO
statement” error. All the fields correspond in the form CF page, and Access
table.

Is there some kind of bug or trick I’m missing here? Any help would be
appreciated.

RE: Displaying the IP of a server

2001-02-09 Thread Duane Boudreau

You could try to ping cgi.server_name. I think there is a tag by Lewis
Sellers at www.intrafoundation.com that does this.

Native Oracle Driver

2001-02-09 Thread Stefan

Good morning list,

does anyone know of a problem with the native oracle drivers in CF4.5.1
Enterprise? If the native driver is used and dates are selected, only the
day and month are passed to CF. If ODBC is used, everything works correctly.

The system runs CF Enterprise 4.5.1 (no SP) on NT4.0SP6a, Oracle 8.1.5 on
NT40.0SP6a

Thanks,

Stefan

RE: Displaying the IP of a server

2001-02-09 Thread Dave Watts

  What variable holds the IP address of a server?
 
  CGI.REMOTE_ADDR
 
 Umm.. that's looks like my IP. Not the IP of the server.

That's correct. There's no CGI variable which exposes any meaningful
information about the IP address or DNS entry for a server.

RE: CFHTTP Link Checker?

2001-02-09 Thread Jeff Sarsoun

You could pull all http, mailto, ftp links that are submitted, submit them
to a table then run a scheduled task to

1. (4.X) use cfx_http to get the response header that is returned.
2. (4.5) use cfhttp to "get" the "CFHTTP.StatusCode"

Beware- both techniques have returned errors on certain urls, which stops
template from processing any more urls.  The cfhttp tag has a timeout option
but doesn't always seem to catch server problems.

I have a beta cfx tag that is written in java that seems to by-pass some of
the above problems.

If interested in experimenting with the tag, email me off-list and I'll send
it to you.

Is there any way to check for the validity of HTML links by using Cold
Fusion. If so, any resources to explain how would be of great help.

TIA.

RE: User history..where are users coming from?

2001-02-09 Thread mherbene

For your purposes this is probably fine, but readers should realize this is
not guaranteed effective; the browser can send whatever it wants as the
referer, and I think there are some "privacy-oriented" and other customized
browsers that don't send anything at all.

If your site is www.site.com then you could do something like:

cfif findnocase("www.site.com",cgi.http_referer) is 0
   cflocation url="www.site.com"
/cfif

 I have been searching past posts and our reference texts looking for this
 but I cannot seem to find anything.
 I want to be able to ensure that visitors to certain parts of our site are
 actually arriving there by browsing our site. We have outside vendors
 linking to product manuals and downloading them from their site. When this
 happens I would like to bounce them to our home page and deter vendors
from
 using our site to provide services to their customers. It is ok if someone
 surfs our site and downloads the manuals.

 We have considered using session variables but that would require
 restructuring the existing site. I seem to remember a variable
http_referrer
 but I can't find anything on it. Am I close? Any suggestions are
 appreciated.

 Thanks in advance,

 Tony Gruen

Dynamic Image Resizing

2001-02-09 Thread National Camps \(Alan\)

Is there a way to dynamically resize an image other than custom CF tags?

I have a site that builds a dynamic web page for each member.  Image URLs
are stored in the database and are called to the page.  Some of the stored
images are larger that I would like and I trying to get any image over 400
pixels wide to resize.

Any help would be appreciated.

Stop query caching UPDATE

2001-02-09 Thread Josh R

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

(Technical info - Using CF 4.5.2 to query MS Access 97 SR2 database for a 
text field and date field for unknown number of recordnumbers)

OK. I have flushed the query by making a dynamically changing query name 
(I.E. cfquery name="shipments#uniquefield#") and made the page reload using 
both unique html calls (I.E. updatecart.cfm?ID=#uniquefield2#") and
(meta http-equiv="pragma" content="no-cache")
(META HTTP-EQUIV="Expires" CONTENT="Mon, 06 Jan 1990 00:00:01 GMT")
codes.

It even loads itself into a second page with the exact same code with all 
NEW uniquefields. There is no way (that I see) this query can get "old" 
data.

BUT, that's exactly what it's doing. It grabs the data previous to updating 
the database (even though the database has been verifyably updated before 
this query.)

I've even rewritten the query to see if it was just how the query was 
written. It still occasionally grabs "old" data.

In short, grabbing this particular information sometimes grabs "old" data 
instead of what is verifyably in the database.

This problem does not occur on ANY other queries throughout the entire site.

Original Query

(cfquery name="shipments#uniquefield#" datasource="mine" dbtype="ODBC")
SELECT  shipdate, shipmethod, Count(*) as totalCount
FROM shopcart
WHERE MyCart = '#url.cart#'
Group by shipdate, shipmethod(/cfquery)

Different Query asking for same

(cfquery name="shipments#uniquefield#" datasource="mine" dbtype="ODBC")
SELECTshipdate, shipmethod
FROM shopcart
WHERE MyCart = '#url.cart#'
(/cfquery)

Both Queries often come out with "old" data.

Why is this data stuck? Why is this only happening with this info? Why am I 
being tortured like this?

HELP!!

Multiple conditions in a single CFIF statement.

2001-02-09 Thread Arden Weiss

So far I've only used single CFIF statements - hence don't know syntax for 
multiple conditions and haven't been able to find an example in the books I 
have.

Can someone give me a hint or example of the CF syntax to do state the 
following condition:

CFIF mTEST1 EQ "ABC" AND mTEST2 EQ "DEF"

without using nested CFIF statements???
