Fwd: Re[2]: IIS 5 WWW-Server and writing of logfiles
Hello everybody, happy easter. Thanks for your answers on my issue here. Due to traffic analysing reasons we don't want to go and observe 45 logfiles or more every logfile representing the same customer. Most likely we will be merging the 45 different logfiles together with dos-commands under a batch-file. Hopefully the created logfile after the merge won't be too big. Thanks again for the ideas what options I have.

Re: 2 Selects killing me
Hi Micheal, I had exactly the same problem and was unable to solve it. It expects something specific from the query. I used their sample table and it works. When I get my query to return exactly the same thing with my table, the only difference being an extra ID field. The only thing I can think of is the the first column must be the primary key.

RE: CF Can't insertinto SQL2K ... the answer ..
Turns out the Sysadmin moved the database to a different ip address. Didn't tell me yet. He assures me he was GOING to! So I was accessing the old database with my Query Analyser, fixing problems, setting up tables etc, but I wasn't making any changes on the database that ColdFusion was accessing. So no matter what I did, thinking I was fixing the problem, I did nothing of the kind. No wonder everything I did made no difference. I'd set up the table in this example with a teensy error in it, and just at that moment the Sysadmin moved the ip addresses to the new location. So I couldn't correct the error, even though I thought I was. Thanks everyone for the helpful suggestions, but I bet none of you had anything close to that in mind!

Help With Query
I have a fish databse. One table contains a Fish Database called FishDB. The other stores the fish per tank FishINV. So if I add three of the same type of fish I get three records in FISHINV records. I did it this way so I can add and remove fish and keep details about each fish. They may have the same ID but the comments about each one maybe different I am williing to remove this feature. My design may be fundamentally wrong but what I'm trying to do is query the FISHINV and get a count of each type. This is the basic query I use: SELECT A.ID, B.CommonName FROM FISHINV AS A, FISHDB AS B WHERE TankId = 2 AND (A.FishID = B.ID); What can I add to count individual fish?

Re: Help With Query
Frank, This definitely sounds kinda fishy. ;) So let's see...you've got FISH and you've got a TANK. Those would each be tables in your db. In the FISH table you could include a field called TYPE to designate "goldfish" or whatever. So a sample db design would be: FISH (FishID, FishType, FishComments, ...) TANK (TankID, TankOwner, FishID, ...) Then your query to produce the same type of fish in each tank would be something like this: SELECT f.type, f.comments, t.tankowner FROM fish f inner join tank t on f.fishid = t.fishid WHERE f.type = 'goldfish' and t.tankid = 2 To count all of the fish in a particular tank: SELECT count(*) t.fishid as fish_count FROM tank t WHERE t.tankid = 2 The inner join query assumes an MS Access db. In answer to your last question, you wouldn't want to store a calculated value in a db field. Best to use SQL to perform your calculations like SUM, COUNT, etc. Hope that helps.

RE: Internationalization
Good list; I have just one more point for Paul to consider. Sales taxes. Paul, you say you are a maker of a commerce site. Consider the ability to put two tax codes and percentages. In many provices in Canada, for example, there is a federal sales tax (GST) and provincial sales tax (PST). That is likely to be true for many countries with a federal structure. dn.

So don't REQUIRE a 5 numeral zip code. (2) Few countries use two characters to name their states/provinces, and some don't have any such divisions at all. So don't make your "state" field a drop down list consisting of only the 50 US 2character state abbreviations. (3). American 1-800 numbers don't work outside the USA. So provide a regular phone number if you're going to put a 1-800 number. (4) Only North America has phone numbers in the format (999) 999-. The rest of the world has a dazzling array of formats, and not everyone has area codes. So don't use that stupid feature in CF to format a field as a phone number field. You're locking non-Canadian and non-US customers out of that field. Not everyone has 7 character phone numbers. Some have 5, some have 10, some have numbers in between. (5) Don't use seasons to describe time. It's common for American companies to talk about something being released "next spring" for example. But not all countries have 4 seasons. In the tropics they only have two seasons (Hong Kong, South East Asia, North of Australia, Central America for example). And anyway when we see this expression here in Australia, we often think "which 'spring' is it referring to - is it ours or theirs?" "Summer" in these parts is December-March. And similarly don't use terms like 1QR or Quarter 2. The financial year in Australia begins on 1 July. IN New Zealand it beings 1. April. Different times in other countries. So does the term "beginning of 2Qtr" mean April, (i.e. beginning of the second calendar quarter) or September (beginning of second financial quarter in Australia) or June (beginning of second financial quarter in New Zealand) etc etc around the world. Don't be lazy, use the month names and everyone will know what you mean. (6) Despite the prevalence of the US Dollar, not everyone wants to deal in that currency, and anyway, it can be very expensive to convert local currency to US. (It costs AUD$15 to bank a US cheque in a Australian bank account for example ) So provide for some way for your customers to pay you in local currency. Or make it easy for them to convert. (7) Remember that when you send your data across the Atlantic, or the Pacific Oceans it might well travel 70,000 km before it arrives at the user's browser. (35,000 up to a satellite and 35,000 down again) So don't put huge files in your site - big graphics etc - just because it runs fast in your home town, doesn't mean it's going to run fast half a world away. Will your prospective customers in Europe and Asia wait to download that fancy flash page that you love but which does nothing at all for the customer? (8) I once tried to download some software from a major international company (who will remain nameless but recently announced a merger with Compaq) where the registration form had a compulsory field that required a social security number for pete's sake. The product was a printer driver - not a US specific piece of software, but for general release around the world. The moron who designed that page hadn't thought for a moment that there might just be people in the world who didn't have US social security numbers. (Like for example ALL of the non-US residents!!) I had to make up a social security number, and tinker around with numbers until I invented one the form liked. I also had to invent an address because it had a 5 character compulsory zip code so I just took an address from a company's ad in a magazine. And this is without even touching the idea of language choices. It's common in Europe and Asia for sites to be built in several languages and you choose on the home page which language you want to see. This is costly and duplicates effort to translate your site into other languages, but how many other customers will you get if you do the translation? These are just some random thoughts.

The JRE has a HTTP part in it that can mimic CFHTTP in some regards. You may have to specify the use of third party pieces though. Is it all do-able? Yes. Can it be done to look as nice as CF? possibly. Will it need a lot of custom code included that may slow down the entire application? probably. Will it allow you to write something fast and easy in CF and move it to Asp quickly? Yes. Will the final product need to be rewritten and optimised? Definitely. The power of CF is exactly as you stated, speed and clear reading code. With enough time and effort, a lot of asp could be 'hidden' to make it look and act like CF more. Same could be done to Perl. It's all a need thing. If you really need it, get someone who knows the languages in question or can do some great research and pay for it to be done.

I've only ever heard two answers to this:

2. Multiple file input fields, followed by looping over cffile.

Will it allow you to write something fast > and easy in CF and move it to Asp quickly? I generally agree with all the above! The last point, IMO, is the most compelling reason for a translator like defroster... we often have no choice in the language for programming a target site. If we already have a similar app written in CF, why not use a translator or sift program to avoid recoding from scratch... I'm for it (with qualifications, see below) > Yes. Will the final product need to be rewritten and optimised? > Definitely. In my experience, here is the real downside... I agree that a rewrite of the translated code is almost always necessary. But, for reasons of time and cost, the rewrite seldom is done,,, The translated application takes on a life of its own, and we have a bunch of "manufactured" code that is largely uncommented (or carries over cf comments that have limited meaning in ASP). Now, over time this translated, un-commented, un-optimized program(s) gets modified by one or more programmers... it eventually degrades to an un-usable, un-maintainable, un-godly mess... Y2K was a recent example. An alternative would be to write an ASP (or php, or whatever) program that reads CF templates and emulates them in the target language... at least you preserve the readability & maintainability of the CF code. This certainly would not be as efficient as a translated, rewritten, and optimized program,,, but realistically, that isn't going to happen anyway, With technology ever advancing, we can address the efficiency with increased memory, gigahertz and bandwidth.

This is definitely what MM is doing with Java for NEO. One could say that it is what they did for past versions of CF using NEO. One could even say that it is what ASP did for [whatever language ASP was written in too]. One could even say that the Windows API does this for Assembler Language. etc.. etc.. etc..

Re: Defroster
For a very good reason. To create the system I described is simple to do and the results will be just that; simple. To have a true integration of technologies, especially when one of them is a technology to make coding easier (CF), takes time and effort. In the long run it pays off handsomely. CF MX (already mentioned under that name in press releases) is not just CF slapped over Java but a true easy to use 'portal' into Java.

If MM can truly provide a 'portal' into Java (programming and facilities) and, at the same time, hide the complexity... then they will have really accomplished something notable! It would be analogous to server-side programming what Swing has done for the Java GUI. Sigh... I wish there were a comparable 'portal' for stand-alone (desktop) Java programming.

HTML within forms - specifically a textarea tag within a textarea element!
Hello, I have a text area form element which allows a user to enter html. If they enter a textarea tag within their html, and the form is then shown pre-populated with their data (which contains the tags), my textarea ends when it encounters THEIR end textarea tag! I can't simple use htmlencoded because this would submit incorrectly formatted html data with the form. Has any one had this problem before? Should I simply treat the textarea as a special character and replace it when displayed with the htmlencoded equivalent. Or is there a solution which would catch all html tag related issues within a textarea display? Did that make sense? :) Brook __ Your ad could be here.

OT: database design question re:product price changes
Hi I have a table which holds orders. The productid and the quantity of items purchased are held in this table amongst other things such as the order date, customer id etc. Orders are calculated by getting the product cost and multiplying it by quantity. Its occured to me that if the price of items changes,because the total of an order is always calculated the order total for previous orders will change. IS there any better way to store orders and price info or should I also store the current price of each product when the order is made in the order table - wouldn't this lead to data being duplicated? Thanks in avance Kola __ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

Re: OT: database design question re:product price changes
You conceptually have 2 different prices 1 The Current Price usually stored in the Product File 2 The Order price (The Current Price when this order was filled) usually stored in an order item file along with Qty (extended Item Amount Optional) 1. is a status field and can change at any time 2. Is a history field and "Never" changes * + Order adjustment transactions (separate transactions) are used to correct errors in 2 (and preserve an audit trail) If you store completed orders in the DB the order items should carry price 2 HTH Dick On Sunday, March 31, 2002, at 04:38 PM, Kola Oyedeji wrote: > Hi > > I have a table which holds orders.

Re: database design question re:product price changes
Hi Kola Oyedeji, You Can Store the Product Price in orders table as it will save you from making joins which is more overhead then querying same table and having the prices in it.
