mysql insert rut roh

2004-08-09 Thread dave
having some troubles inserting, lol
problem is that if i copy and paste(which i have to do) the # maybe like this 06618300 but when its inserted it strips the zero off the front to this 6618300.
its mysql the field is a varchar cause it could also have letters.
its really not a big deal except that i have a check in place to stop dups which that reall messes it up

Tuning CF response speeds

2004-08-09 Thread Micha Schopman
Does anyone have experience in fine tuning CFMX responses? I often have
the feeling the CFMX server, is going into hibernation between requests.
One moment a request pops up at a reasonable response, and sometimes I
just have to wait for 2 a 3 seconds for the same template which actually
does nothing but outputting Hello world. For a user interface made up
with multiple iframes, or files dependent on the cfm extension like
_javascript_ files with embedded cfml, I try to get the best response
speed as I can get.

Re: server-side forwarding in CFMS

2004-08-09 Thread Greg Stewart
Just out of curiosity is it possible to a re-direct to a new
domain/url? something like:

 getPageContext().forward("http://www.somedomain.com/");


I know this doesn't work, but is there an equivalent (idealy using
cfscript) without having to do a client side re-driect?

Cheers

First of all Robert, I only know you're referring to REDHAT because 
you've posted previously.  You need to specify REDHAT, otherwise people 
won't know for sure what you're talking about... I think Suse also makes 
an "Enterprise" Linux.

The startup script for mysql by default in RedHat (all versions) is

	/etc/rc.d/init.d/mysql

Just do this from the linux shell prompt:

	/etc/rc.d/init.d/mysql start

I suggest you get a good book about Linux that focuses on Redhat, and 
read it.  And you might consider posting your questions to a mysql or 
linux specific mailing list, since this question has nothing to do with CF.

There is no Linux Enterprise, Linux is the kernel and the only 
qualifier is the version number. You are probably refering to the 
Enterprise version of some distribution.

Anyway, if MySQL is properly installed "man -k mysql" will give 
you all the manual pages for MySQL or else you would have to 
check the manual of your distribution for instructions on how to 
install MySQL.

cfchartseries y-axis problem

2004-08-09 Thread Uwe Degenhardt
Hi list, we are
having some problems concerning
y-scaling on the y-axes under
cfchart/CFCHARTSERIES. (CFMX 6.1/Windows)
The values which are shown are
representing a value exact 10 times
higher what it should be.
We doublechecked the values with
a normal cfoutput with no errors
at all.

Any clues on this topic ?

Re: Count logged in user sessions

2004-08-09 Thread Raymond Camden
There are a few different ways to do this. There is a ServiceFactory
method that will help. This article,
http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0MLU/is_10_5/ai_109039749,
written by myself, shows code that Sam Neff wrote. You can also do
tracking in application.cfm by doing (pseudo-code)

param application.sessions
application.sessions[session.urltoken] = now();

What this does is create one record per session in an application
struct. It uses the current time as the value. When you count the
sessions, you simply remove any session who has a value more then your
timeout, normally 20 minutes. This will give you the current number of
sessions.

Nope... There wouldn't be any way to implement a method of moving to
another server without going back tot he client, and while it's
possible to have multiple domains on the same server, the CF server
doesn't have any native means of knowing about what domains are on the
current machine, so there's a lack of information that prevents a tool
like that from being possible... at least with the current state of
tech.

Nope, cflocation is a client-side redirection tool as well... It uses
an http header to indicate "document moved" with information about
where it's been moved to which is what the browser uses to go to the
next page. I believe it's "temporarily moved" - there's a separate
header for a "permanently" moved document.

RE: Count logged in user sessions

2004-08-09 Thread Katz, Dov B (IT)
Does anyone know the performance cost of things like the SessionTracker
code? 

 
Without sessionTracker, I wanted to do something similar, but in my
case, I wanted to make a struct for each session, put it in the session,
and in the application, and then access it from both, for some realtime
updates.  I have a site which gets 400K-500K page views a day, and I am
looking to minimize the impact of advanced session management.

 
Example pseudocode:

 
( Application.cfm  - extra code to support being logged in multiple
times )
param application.allUsers default=structnew()
IF I am logged in
    update my username struct (which allows me to have multiple sessions
per username )
    ( application.allUsers
[session.myUserName].[session.urlToken].lastAccess=now() )
END IF
   
( in post-login success code )
 
    myStruct=new CF struct();
    myStruct.lastAccess=now();
    IF (session.MyUsername is NOT a key in application.allUsers)
application.allUsers[session.myUsername]=new cfstruct();
    END IF
    application.allUsers[session.myUsername] [
session.urlToken]=myStruct;
    
    // this struct holds other realtime info, but since its not a direct
session var, it will get orphaned when a session dies, and cleaned up by
my cleanup loop run periodically...
    session.myStructRef=myStruct;

 
Now I can loop through Application.allUsers, and loop through all child
structures, to clean it out, and count user instances, etc...

Re: Count logged in user sessions

2004-08-09 Thread Ewok
Thanks. This is what I ended up using...


 
  function getSessions(appName) 
  {
 var tracker = createObject("java","coldfusion.runtime.SessionTracker");
 return tracker.getSessionCollection(appName);
  }
 

 
 

 
 

 
 
  
    
  
 
 
 


the nSessions holds a count of ALL sessions and nLoggedIn holds a count of all users logged in. This works well enough. The nLoggedIn value is always accurate if users actually use the logout buttons, else it has to time out when they leave.

The nSessions is usually NOT accurate since it has to time out for everyone. I've tried a couple different things for killing the session or dereferencing it when the browser is closed but no luck.

In the MM forums I read this would do it if i dropped it in the application.cfm





but it seems to clear the session on evry page load or refresh

I also tried this in the application.cfm as the livedocs suggested


 
 


but this was even worse, not only did the session not die when the browser was closed, it started a completley NEW session when the browser came back (weird)

RE: Count logged in user sessions

2004-08-09 Thread Katz, Dov B (IT)
I know it keeps track of sessions.  The problem with using that is

 
(1) we have no guarantee from MACR that it's going to always be there
(its like using the "com.sun" classes in java)
(2) I still have no useful metrics on how accessing sessions from that
factory/tracker might affect performance.
(3) you cannot access inactive sessions to potentially remove stale
data. The tracker suddenly has no reference to them, and that's all you
get.

 
Do you know of any of these?  I'd love not to reinvent the wheel.

It's worth pointing out that you can just use the FILE attribute of CFHTTP,
rather than having a separate CFFILE tag.

You should check cflib.org first, there are plenty of date-related UDFs:

RE: Calendar data structure

2004-08-09 Thread Alistair Davidson
Read up on the iCal / vCal formats - they're attempted / de-facto
standards for transfer of calendar data between applications, and they
handle repeating events in a fairly straightforward manner. Last year I
had to completely re-write a massive international calendar app from
scratch, and the iCal / vCal formats were a very helpful starting point

From: Burns, John D [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Subject: Calendar data structure

I'm looking for some advice on what sort of structure I should use for
making a calendar app.  My main question is about storing the dates.  To
accommodate multi-day events, is it better to do a startDate column and
an endDate column or is it better to do a single eventDate column and
insert multiple events multiple times?  I will need to output this data
as "today's events", "this week's events", and a monthly calendar view.
Along the same lines, any suggestions for a CFC or custom tag that can
organize into a calendar view (or tips for writing my own) would be
helpful.  Thanks to all in advance.

dump query before execution

2004-08-09 Thread George Abraham
Hi group,
Does anyone have an idea of how to dump the contents of a query before
it executes? Say I have a query named getThisUser. All I want is the
contents of the select statement before it actually is passed to the
database. I am having a problem with a long query (with lots of cfifs
and cfqueryparams) and I want to see why it is hanging up/timing out
on me. I know I can just remove the cfquery tag and have it output out
on the screen, but I was looking for a more elegant (?) way of doing
it on a consistent basis for other queries as well.

TIA,
George

Re: looping over dates?

2004-08-09 Thread Joe Rinehart
John,

Re-reading your post I realized my solution was all wrong, it's
definitely Monday around here...

Just use the dateAdd() , adding a month each time, until you get where
you need to go.  It'll handle the year etc. for you.

If you enable CF debugging through the cf administrator site, you'll
be able to view the SQL passed to the DB in the debugging information.

Re: dump query before execution

Joe,
I tried that and the problem is the query just times out and CFMX pops
out a Stack Overflow error. I guess you'll get to see SQL in the debug
information, only if it is passed to the DB successfully.

ANN: C# & ASP.NET for ColdFusion Developers

2004-08-09 Thread Adam Churvis
Presentation and sample code

We just finished giving our ".NET Eye For the CF Guy" presentation to the
Atlanta ColdFusion User Group, and now have the presentation online.  We
built two identical apps -- one in CF and one in ASP.NET -- that run
side-by-side in frames so you can play with both at the same time, and the
code is available for download.  Both presentation and code are on
http://www.ProductivityEnhancement.com.

Intensive training

Also, we finally have our new C# & ASP.NET for ColdFusion Developers
training course scheduled.  It's a 5-day, 8AM-7PM intensive course designed
specifically for ColdFusion developers to segue into developing ASP.NET
applications using C#.

If ColdFusion is your only web development language (or close to it), you
really should consider adding ASP.NET to your repertoire-- it's a great way
to create more opportunities for you.

We're pricing this course lower than our others, plus there's an early
registration discount.  The details are posted on
http://www.ColdFusionTraining.com.

Seminar

There's also a one-day seminar that covers the same material in a more
compact and superficial format that serves as an introduction to the topic.
If you like the seminar and then decide to take the intensive training
course too, we'll apply your seminar fee toward your training tuition.

If you have any questions then contact me offlist and I'll be happy to
reply.

Respectfully,

Range in SQL

2004-08-09 Thread Mickael
Hello All,

I was wondering if someone could help me with an SQL statement for Sybase.  I need to do an update using on SQL not CF.  What I would like to do is the opposite of TOP sort of.  I have a query that returns lets "x" records and I would like to not update 125 records and have my statement update the rest what ever that is.

Sort of like leave the TOP 125 alone and do the update.

How do you do this in SQL?

Mike

You can do that in CFML:

OT - CSS Talk and Class Announcment

2004-08-09 Thread Sandy Clark
Just an FYI for those out there, I will be speaking at the NYCFUG tomorrow
night (Tuesday) on CSS. Hope to see many of you there.

I am also offering a class in CSS in October, this will be a 4 days, hands
on class.  It is appropriate both for beginners and those who really want to
delve more into what CSS has to offer.

When: October 11 - 14th
Where: Teratech, Rockville, MD
Cost: $1399

Have you been hearing all the hype about Cascading Style Sheets and just
don't get it? You know you should be using them more, and you just know you
could be doing better? Learning CSS properties isn't enough, knowing when to
apply them, how to select for them and the underlying rules which govern
their behavior is critical to being able to pull yourself into the web
standards age. 

In this 4 day, hands on class, Sandra Clark, will unlock the mysteries of
CSS. This class is not a design class, rather it goes into the hows and whys
of how selectors, properties and browsers interact. You will learn what to
do, but also why you do it. Hands on labs help you to explore your
creativity, as well as how to design HTML and Style sheets that are easy to
read and maintain. 

This class is limited to 12 participants. Sign up early to guarantee
yourself space.

For more information, including a syllabus see
http://www.teratech.com/training/oc_classes.cfm#css

Re: Calendar data structure

2004-08-09 Thread Ewok
I have done this a couple of times and from experience I'd suggest this...
one table to hold the event information, what where who etc...
anopther table that holds dates with an EventID to tie it back to a particular event

Also, in The Date table, I'd try something like DateID, SingleDate, StartDate, EndDate
single dates would hold a onetime date , start and end dates would hold ranges.
or even just StartDate and EndDate.. if it is a single date, put that date in BOTH fields

I had a compnay tell me it was absolutley going to be 4 day events so all they needed were date ranges... Once it was written to do just that... they needed to exclude days in that range making it just 3 single dates (or a 2 day range and a single day) and it was a pain to change! If I had just done it this way to start with, it would have been fine.

I'd suggest doing it this way just to save you the headaches for when it happens... and it will

as for a calendar app, I have no suggestions for thridparty apps since I havent used any but if you decide to write your own, here is a VERY basic tutorial to get started with that I wrote way back when but dont tell anyone  : )

I know that, and thought about "planting" this sort of code in multiple templates and have them compiled, however, it's not an elegant solution, because when you want to remove them, it becomes messy.  And you don't want to do it at application.cfm because you leave it editable to the customer.

pathname, HELP :(

2004-08-09 Thread Metzy Martinez
Hello everyone,

I'm trying to create a tree structure, i'm using coldfusion 5 on a unix box. I'm forbidden to use CFTREE and parent child relationships. all i have is a pathname column that i have to parse out to create a hierarchical visual representation of a directory structure. I'm having a really difficult time trying to figure out how i'm going to accomplish this.
Also in this table there is no concept of folder, meaning a folder exist only if a document exist :(

the records can look like this 
doc_id path_namefile_name
1  test1/test1.1    file1.pdf
2  test1/test1.2    file2.pdf
3  test2/   file3.pdf
4  test2/test2.1    file4.pdf
5  test2/test2.1/test2.1.1/ file5.pdf

ps. i've found several wonderful examples on alternatives to cftree. but nothing so far that parses a pathname. 

Thank you,
Metzy

CFMail

I need to send an email to our customer base - currently about 2800 and
our hosting company will only allow sending 250 at a time, and they must
be at least 30 seconds between each mailing. I was trying to use a Perl

Has anyone built a mailout app in CF that would send out the 250 at a

another language?

You should be able to pass parameters within the URL of the CFC request:

http://yourserver/your.cfc?param=value

For obvious reasons, this will only work with simple values. Honestly, I've
never tried this approach, since my use of CFCs has been limited to more
traditional components and SOAP web services.

Matt Robertson's link should help.

You could also use a table to store queued recipients, and a scheduled

RE: Count logged in user sessions

2004-08-09 Thread Jim Davis
I do this with a custom framework.

In there I create CFCs to supplement CF's native application framework:
there's an Application.cfc, Session.cfc and Request.cfc.

The application.cfc has, as a property, a collection of session.cfcs and the
session cfcs are linked to the user's session and to the collection.  The
session cfc stores things like the pages visited, user agent information,
resolution information and whatever else I'd like to dump in there.

When the user's session (the CF session) times out the session is (of
course) unlinked from there.  However it still exists in the
application-based collection.  I can use that collection to determine the
number of logged in users, see the pages that the users have been visiting
and control the users experience (if I want to).  Since I know the user keys
I can easily add "personal messages" on a whim (although I've never done
this) that they would see on their page request and so forth.

Since the session information persists longer than the session itself this
also allows me to work with the data before it's destroyed: in other words
it makes end-of-session processing simple.  The collection has an expire()
method that's run on a schedule.  Session that have timed out are dissected
and their information stored in the database then destroyed.

This definitely means a performance hit on the page, but not at all an
extreme one.  You can see session counts and page times (as returned from
getTickCount() in light grey text at the bottom of DepressedPress.com
(hosted at CrystalTech. I'm not sure of the exact hardware anymore, but it's
decent, mid-range hardware).

Those pages are doing a lot more than just session management (the
navigation is all dynamic, the clickstream is dynamic, the layout is all
dynamic, security permissions are being checked and so forth).  A general,
content-only page takes between 100 and 200 ms to run.  But if I display a
"blank page" that's only running the basic framework elements page times
head down to 40ms or so.

I'd still like to improve that, but it's definitely not too slow for a
lightly hit site like depressedpress.com

If you'd like to see the code let me know.  I still consider it "beta", but
so far it's working okay (although I've still some bugs track down).

and in the application, and then access it from both, for some realtime
updates.  I have a site which gets 400K-500K page views a day, and I am
looking to minimize the impact of advanced session management.

RE: dump query before execution

2004-08-09 Thread Burns, John D
You could just write your query in a  block and then you
sql would be saved as a variable that you could put in a  block
or  block and do what you'd like with it.  Maybe put
conditions around the  block to output it only at certain
times.

That's what I do ultimately. I was just wondering if someone had a less
time-consuming way of doing this.

Thanks though,

Re: Transaction Log Size

2004-08-09 Thread Dan O'Keefe
In my experience, here is what happens.

start:
log is 2 MB
daily activity increase it to 3MB
backup, log remains at 3MB but is empty

daily activity increase it to 45MB*
backup, log remains at 45MB but is empty

daily activity = 3MB*
backup, log remains at 45MB but is empty

* typically a lrage update or insert of data causes this 

So the log size is 45 MB, and it will always use that space for the
fist 45 MB of logged transactions, and increase if it has to, but
nothing ever shrinks it.

There may be a better way, but a qucick scheduled template to check
the size after the backup and alert you via email when it is larger
than XMB, can be an alert for you to shrink it.

OT: Why is Flash so slow on OSX?

2004-08-09 Thread Damien McKenna
Does anyone (Macromedia folk particularly) know why Flash is so slow on 
OSX versus Windows?  I've got a 1GHz G4 and it is usually slower than a 
co-worker's 266MHz PII Thinkpad.  That just doesn't make sense.  Is it 
a conspiracy or are Macromedia just using extremely sub-par compilers 
for OSX?

That sounds workable, other than the problem with using cfqueryparam

That's just the point:

works from a browser

but,

wget  
http://localhost/cfusion/mycfmxapps/myWS.cfc?

does not work from the command line:

Here's the cfc:

CFX Tag help

2004-08-09 Thread Ketan Patel
Hi All,
I am using CFX_google on one of the application I am working on. I have
downloaded the tag from CFDEV website
http://www.cfdev.com/xml/soap/google/

 
It comes in open source so you can pretty much change it. I want to know if
any body can help me to change the max results in the class file and the
generate the JAR file for me. I have no knowledge at all of JAVA so any help
is appreciated. I want to retrieve up to 1000 results instead of 10 which
come standard with the downloaded version. Thanks in advance.

If it can be done from a browser, it can be done using wget. Perhaps your
server is configured to require host headers, or something like that?

When you say it doesn't work, what exactly happens? Are you unable to
capture output? If you're running wget on Windows, you'd have to use the -O
parameter to specify an output file, since
"myWS.cfc?method=echoString&input=Hello" isn't a valid file name, I suspect,
but you shouldn't have that problem on Unix systems.

Re: OT: Why is Flash so slow on OSX?

2004-08-09 Thread Dick Applebaum
Mmmm

Maybe that explains it!.

I have been quite vocal about Flash performance and resource 
consumption (mainly CPU cycles).

It is especially noticeable when you have several browser windows open 
to pages containing Flash swfs.

But, others seem unconcerned or do not notice the performance hit.

At one point, I commented that the Flash RIA was Rich, Reach and Retch!

I have Macs only -- and Flash performance was so bad that I never 
bothered to try it under VirtualPC emulation.

Could it be that the Flash plugin implementation on OS X is at fault.

One simple test it to fire up the OS X  Activity Monitor.  Then open a 
browser with only one window.

After the browser's home page is loaded, CPU % will stabilize at 1-3%.

Now go to http://www.macromedia.com/,  cpu will stabilize at 8-15%

now go to 
http://www.macromedia.com/software/flex/?promoid=home_prod_flex_111703#

and select the Flex Code Explorer -- a window will popup -- In the menu 
tree open up a bunch of subfolders so the menu scrolls

Then close the top folder -- it shudders and stutters as it closes the 
folder hierarchy.

while doing this browser CPU % spikes to about 50%

Now open another browser window and o=point it to www,macromedia.com

CPU % goes to 35-50%, then stabilizes at 20-35%

Conclusion:  2 Flash browser windows and 1 Flash popup are consuming 
1/4 to 1/3 of my CPU (when they aren't doing anything (and aren't even 
topmost on the desktop).

This really detracts from other Desktop applications.

I agonize, whenever I need to go to the MM site (dloads, livedocs, 
blakstone info, etc), because it really is a performance hog.

BTW, 1 GHz, 1Gig RAM, G4 with fast DSL connection.

It would be really REALLY nice if this can be resolved by optimizing 
the OS X Flash plugin (and the player, too).

Dick

Re: mysql insert rut roh

2004-08-09 Thread Barney Boisvert
Are you putting the value in quotes when you insert?  If you're not,
then you're telling MySQL to insert a number, and number don't have
leading zeros.  Behind the scenes, MySQL is then coercing the number
to a string to put in the field, but it starts as a number.  If you
wrap it in quotes, then MySQL will never interpret it as a number, so
it'll retain it's leading zeros.

cheers,

That's nothingtry loading a Flash animation that uses alpha transitions for fading effects and moving gradients.
