OT: Primary Keys Duplicate Values
Hi, Once again its me. I have a table with 18000 records. There are three fields say field1, field2 and field3. There are no primary keys at the moment. I want to delegate field1 as the primary key in the modified table. When I try to create field1 as the primary key, an error is generated as there are duplicate values in the records in field1. How do I find which values are duplicate in field1. I cannot use the Find and replace function as I do not know which values to look for. Also manually it is impossible as there are too many records to search through. Is there a Cold Fusion custom tag or function or SQL syntax I can use? Any help will be much appreciated.

Yep, your problem is that you have dupes in the column you want to tag as a PK. is Field 1 the only field which is uses dupe values? are the records technically unique or can you safely delete them? -Original Message- From: Srimanta [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 07 October 2002 10:43 To: CF-Talk Subject: OT: Primary Keys Duplicate Values Hi, Once again its me.

I can't do that anymore because I am running CFMX on Mac OS X (Linux), The MS-Access database is running under emulated windows. This is a large Access97 database I can manipulate it OK from CFMX (I know some of the table names). In SQL Server there are system calls you can issue to the db to get table names, column names, column attributes, etc. Can you do a similar thing with MS-Access 2000? For some reason I cannot open the database either in Access97 or Access2000 - It just hangs.

RE: How to get MS-Access Table Column info without cfobject
You need read permissions on table 'MSysObjects', you have to set thee inside Access, once you have, the following query should return table names ok. select MSysObjects.Name from MSysObjects where (((MSysObjects.Flags)=0) AND ((MSysObjects.Type)=1)) order by MSysObjects.Name Craig. -Original Message- From: Dick Applebaum [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 07 October 2002 12:12 To: CF-Talk Subject: How to get MS-Access Table Column info without cfobject I used to be able to get system info from a MS-Access DB using cfobject ADO.

RE: OT topics and posts about OT topics
I apologize for this post but I have to speak my mind on this.. I have an Inbox rule that moves all cf-talk emails to another folder. I'm sure all of us are busy most of the day to read every email that comes in. Every 30-60 minutes, I check the folder and scan the topics. If I see something that interests me, I read it. If it is something I can help with, I read it. If it doesn't interest me, I ignore it. How hard is it for the rest of you guys to do. I know I DON'T have time to click on a link from an email to get rid of it..and why should I. If I don't want to read it, I don't. Some people on this list make such a HUGE deal about some OT posts that it makes me wonder if their job depends on whether or not they read EVERY SINGLE POST that comes in. Some people need to get a life (or back to work) if that's the case. I don't know how much it pay's to read every post, but I don't think I'm qualified. -stepping of my soap box now.

Re: MX and Javamail - Upgrading MX to Javamail 1.3
Jon Hall wrote: Ok then I will... ;) Never one to turn down a challenge, but having no clue what I was doing my first thought was to try brute force...and it worked. So here are the steps for anyone interested. Download Javamail 1.3 from Sun's site. Shut down Cold Fusion. Make backup of CFusionMX\runtime\lib\jrun.jar. Make backup of CFusionMX\runtime\lib\jrun.jar. Read the above two lines again. Using Jar archive manager of choice (I used WinRar), and open both jrun.jar and the mail.jar file from the Javamail 1.3 download. In the mail.jar file, navigate the the javax\mail directory and copy it to the clipboard. Int the jrun.jar file, navigate to the javax directory and paste files. WinRar will do it's thing and write out a file called something like zias.j40. That's the new and improved jrun.jar. Rename it to jrun.jar, and start up ColdFusion again. Congratulations, you now have Javamail 1.3, probably voided all warranties, and gained access to the nifty validate() method! Some example code: cfset objJavamail = createObject(java, javax.mail.internet.InternetAddress) cfdump var=#objJavamail# cfset emailAddress = inv@[EMAIL PROTECTED] cfset objJavamail.init(emailAddress, true) cftry cfset objJavamail.validate() cfcatch type=javax.mail.internet.AddressException cfoutput#cfcatch.message#/cfoutput /cfcatch /cftry cfoutput #objJavamail.getAddress()# /cfoutput This doesn't catch everything a tweaked regex catches, but it does catch a lot, and it gives a very specific english error message. It's also very fast. There are a lot of other handy methods in the InternetAddress class too. You can make it try and correct an invalid email address even. Seems to do a pretty good job at it. Link to docs: http://java.sun.com/products/javamail/1.3/docs/javadocs/index.html I'm starting to think this MX stuff is pretty cool. There is a lot of untapped power built into Java that I can't wait to see exposed in CF. You can also place the Javamail 1.3 jar file first in the classpath of coldfusion. This will amke sure it finds the new version first. This is easier, and will work consistent with updates ~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=listsbody=lists/cf_talk FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

Which is no longer available in MX because it is no longer needed. Basically, NAME is older than SCOPE, and SCOPE was added to address issues that NAME cannot handle. SCOPE was added to resolve bugs in earlier releases of CF around the shared scope memory corruption problems. That is no longer an issue in CFMX.

CF MX and CFTREE
Hello. We just upgraded our CF 4.5 server to CF MX. However, on one of our applications we have a CFTREE that is used to select files. The CFTREE tag worked just fine in CF4.5, however we are not getting the following error message: Error in__CFTree__myForm__DirectoryExplorer value. We found on the macromedia site technote 22491 and 23150 which also describes this error. We have already tried the 22491 fix using the javascript solution. This solution did not work. The question is, the patch that is mentioned in 23150 for the JavaApplets also go for CF MX? I know that it mentions CF 5. But does that mean the CF MX can be included in this fix. Thanks.

Struct state between pages in an application
OK, I've made this disclaimer before, but it still applies: I'm really new when it comes to CF, so I request that you please keep that in mind as you read this. I don't claim that as an excuse for not searching out the answers on my own, but I've been unable to find an explanation of this behavior in the CF docs so far. So anyway... I've got this form, and I want to use the selected/input values from the form to call a stored procedure that is within a package in an Oracle database for processing. But, before passing the values to the database, I want the user to be able to confirm the selections that they've made before sending the information to the database. So, at the beginning of the page that displays the form, I check to see if the structure is defined, and if it's not, I create it. (I realize that what you're about to read may not make sense if it's not the best way to do this, but it was the only way that I could figure out to do it, so this is how it currently works...I'm open to suggestions) So, on the form page, the action is GET, and on the action page, I first populate all of the properties of the structure with the URL parameters that have been passed from the form, by evaluating their values in the URL. I then display the users selections, by outputting the values of the structure p! roperties. All of this to this point works fine. The fact that it works fine, suggests to me that structures reside in memory on the CF server, and can persist between templates in an application. So, based on that assumption, I also assumed that the properties of the structure would be available on the NEXT page as well. The action page for the form, has two links at the bottom of it, after all of the values that the user has selected are displayed for confirmation...one link is a back button, that allows the user to go back to the form and make any necessary corrections to their input, and the other is a link to another template that actually process the form by passing all of the properties of the structure to the stored procedure in the database for processing. The first thing I do in this template, is check for the existence of the structure, to make sure that it's values can be passed to the stored procedure. This is where my problem comes up.

RE: Struct state between pages in an application
Like any other variable in the local scope, the structure you're creating ceases to exist when the page finishes processing. You'll need to put it in a persistent scope (Session, Client) or in some other way pass it to the next page (serialize it with WDDX and put it in a hidden form variable, deserializing it on the next page; using Uncle Ben's CF_embedformfields tag; etc.) You'll probably want to use Session variables. 1. Remember your CFLOCKs 2. You should probably delete the structure in Session when you get to your processing page so it's not hanging around.

CF execute HELP
I have never used cfexecute before and could use a few pointers before I suffer early hair loss. Here is what I am attempting to do. I would like to run Access from the command line opening a database with a linked table in it that will be copied to another datasource using an autoexec macro which has a copy object call as it's action. The reason I am doing this is my financial package (MAS90) uses illegal characters in its database table naming that Access can handle, but not CF. So I am attempting to create a new table everytime I open the test.mdb. It works fine in windows 2000, but not in a CF template using the following parameters. This is an intranet app. cfexecute name = C:\program files\microsoft office\office\msaccess.exe arguments = c:\inetpub\databases\test.mdb timeout = 100 /cfexecute If anyone can show me the correct method to accomplish my task I would greatly appreciate it.

RE: Struct state between pages in an application
I don't think you can store complex objects like structures in the client scope without first serializing them into a wddx packet... ( which would be similar to passing it in a form, just different management of the packet )... however... I think Al's right, sessions are probably your best bet... I'd change the action in your form from GET to POST and put this on your intermediary action page: cfif isdefined(form.myrequiredfield) cflock scope=session type=exclusive timeout=10 cfset session.mystruct = duplicate(form) /cflock cflocation url=#cgi.path_info# addtoken=nocfabort cfelse cflock scope=session type=readonly timeout=10 cfif structkeyexists(session,mystruct) cfset mystruct = duplicate(session.mystruct)/cfif /cflock /cfif cfif isdefined(mystruct) ... output the structure and the form to go to the next page here... cfelse ... custom error message ... /cfif The reason for using POST instead of GET is to insulate the data from a mangled or over-long url for whatever reason. If it sees your required form field, it coppies the data into the request scope, then relocates to the current page without the form, so that if the user refreshes the page, they won't get the annoying do you want to repost the form message. It then grabs the data from the session scope and if everything is okay, they can hit the next button and on the following page, you can grab the data from the request scope again, as in the else clause above. hth S.

(I realize that what you're about to read may not make sense if it's not the best way to do this, but it was the only way that I could figure out to do it, so this is how it currently works...I'm open to suggestions) So, on the form page, the action is GET, and on the action page, I first populate all of the properties of the structure with the URL parameters that have been passed from the form, by evaluating their values in the URL. I then display the users selections, by outputting the values of the structure p! roperties. All of this to this point works fine. The fact that it works fine, suggests to me that structures reside in memory on the CF server, and can persist between templates in an application. So, based on that assumption, I also assumed that the properties of the structure would be available on the NEXT page as well. The action page for the form, has two links at the bottom of it, after all of the values that the user has selected are displayed for confirmation...one link is a back button, that allows the user to go back to the form and make any necessary corrections to their input, and the other is a link to another template that actually process the form by passing all of the properties of the structure to the stored procedure in the database for processing. The first thing I do in this template, is check for the existence of the structure, to make sure that it's values can be passed to the stored procedure. This is where my problem comes up. Every time I click! the link to go to this template for processing, I get the me! ssage that gets displayed if the structure does not exist (it's a message that I've inserted to let the user know that there was an error, due to the fact that the structure cannot be found, and processing cannot continue). What am I doing wrong? Why is the server not finding this structure? Am I not defining it properly to be

Hey everyone, Maybe someone can give me an ideas as to what may cause this. We have 2 different websites, on the same server, one uses a Verisign Digital Certificate and the other uses a Thawte cert, I know Verisign owns both. I get a small amount of people who when they go to the secure part of our site can't see the page, they either get a dns lookup error, a undefined variable error or just a blank page. But if I have them change the url from https:// to http:// they can see the page fine. Has anyone else run into this type of problem?

As long as the subscription starts immediately upon payment, you can charge the card. If the subscription starts next month or at some future point in time, you have to wait. Basically, you can grab the cash as soon as you deliver the contract, whether it's for service or material goods or subscriptions.

You could do a second update as follows: Update survey Set hot = 0 Where SID not in (10,17) A warning though: A not in query only runs well on well-indexed or small tables.

Re: Variable locking
On Monday, Oct 7, 2002, at 01:38 US/Pacific, Kola Oyedeji wrote: I'm joining this thread late. Can I just confirm what you guys are saying: In CFMX named locks should be used in place of scoped locks and locks are only needed When a possible race condition could occur? The last part is relatively easy to answer: yes, you only need locks when a race condition could occur. The first part is slightly harder to answer: in general, named locks allow finer grained control over locking and therefore will cause fewer lock contentions between requests. Consider a couple of variables in server scope: in CF5 (and earlier) you had to use scope=server to protect access to such variables so any code accessing one of those variables would block any code accessing the other variable. In CFMX, it is safe to use a named lock instead, with a different lock name for each variable: !--- page1.cfm : CF5 scoped lock --- cflock scope=server type=exclusive cfset server.a = 42 /cflock !--- page2.cfm : CF5 scoped lock --- cflock scope=server type=exclusive cfset server.b = 77 /cflock While page1.cfm is executing, page2.cfm would block. In CFMX you can do this: !--- page1.cfm : CFMX named lock --- cflock scope=server_a type=exclusive cfset server.a = 42 /cflock !--- page2.cfm : CFMX named lock --- cflock scope=server_b type=exclusive cfset server.b = 77 /cflock Now the pages won't block each other (obviously multiple requests to page1.cfm will block each other but page2.cfm wouldn't be affected). That's easy enough for application and server scope because the name is easy to figure out. For session scope, you need a name that is unique to your session which may be harder to invent (you could perhaps use a user ID if it exists or a per-session UUID). OTOH, race conditions within session scope are probably going to be rarer because they can only occur if you have multiple windows or frames open with the same session data (frames are evil, in my opinion, so I'm not very sympathetic to people who get into a session integrity mess when they use frames! :) If it's too hard to come up with a unique name for your lock, using scope= may be the easiest solution for you. Since the shared scope corruption problem is no longer an issue in CFMX, there are many cases where you safely omit the lock altogether (for example, if the assignment is 'atomic' and all request would store the same value - or it doesn't matter which request actually stores the value, e.g., the application just needs *a* value in the shared scope variable). Hope that helps clarify?

I've been trialling CFMX now for 18 days using our existing development applications, which ran on CF4.5. I have yet to experience a single day without (several instances of) either the CFMX services hanging or the JDBC drivers dropping connections and ceasing to function, or simply being unable to access any sites being served by CFMX. This is totally unacceptable for a production environment. Can someone please tell me these problems are rare and only I am experiencing them as opposed to being the general rule of thumb for CFMX installs. I'm running CFMX on Win2k Server SP3, IIS 5 and MSSQL Server 7 TIA, Dave ~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=listsbody=lists/cf_talk FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm

Unfortunately, mailing lists like this (and the webforums) are typically where people come when they have problems so things seem worse than they are - we don't see legions of people piping up and saying It works just fine for me!... I've been trialling CFMX now for 18 days using our existing development applications, which ran on CF4.5. I have yet to experience a single day without (several instances of) either the CFMX services hanging or the JDBC drivers dropping connections and ceasing to function, or simply being unable to access any sites being served by CFMX. This is totally unacceptable for a production environment. That sounds unusually unstable. Perhaps applying the Updater will resolve some of your problems but it sounds to me like something else is wrong in your environment. Hopefully folks here can help you resolve it. Can someone please tell me these problems are rare and only I am experiencing them as opposed to being the general rule of thumb for CFMX installs. We have CFMX running on Solaris backed by Oracle for some applications in production (ColdFusion Examples app, various Flash / Flash Remoting / CFMX examples, PetMarket) and these have been running just fine for months without needing any attention (except when we upgraded to Apache 2.x and broke some connector mappings - but that was our bad!). We have been running CFMX internally for many, many months and have experienced very few stability problems (we had a badly-behaved Java tag library that occasionally hung JRun but not much apart from that).
