RE: Looping....again

2004-09-21 Thread Brant Winter
Yep I have done all of that, and thanks to Stephens code I am a lot further
ahead. Thank you Stephen.

As I have stated, I think I need to get this data back into a DB table, and
mark each drug to belong to a unique script number?

The doctors can then logon, and I can again run a query of querys to get the
data out.

Then your data will be out of line with your columns and the CSV will be
invalid. You need those quotes. cfhttp should take care of the quotes for
you automatically. The next step is to use query of queries to re-sort the
data, then cfoutput to loop through the data as Stephen has already
described.

RE: Looping....again

2004-09-21 Thread Brant Winter
Dave - I didn't quite understand your code, but I played round with steves,
and I got the Query of Query working, and I can run all of the loops over
the data.

My CFX_PDF tag don't work inside the loops though :-( so I think I am gonna
have to go back to trying to build this data into another set of DB tables,
but each drug given a script number so that I can then query the data based
on the doctors name, and then build the scripts again, but with a less
complex looping structure, so as to be able to include the cfx_pdf tags.

dynamic maps (GIS and other acronyms)

2004-09-21 Thread Matt Liotta
I need the ability to present maps dynamically as images. These maps would
be of US cities that have vector graphics layered on top of them. I need to
programmatically create these vector graphics on the fly using only GPS
coordinates and/or street address. I am perfectly capable of writing the
code for this in Java, but I am not really sure where to start.

What library do I use to create the vector graphics? Where do I get the maps
I am layering the graphics on?

I have found many Java-based open source projects that seem to do what I
want, but without knowing much about this space it is hard to get started.
If a few pointers are all I need then I would appreciate them. Otherwise, I
could use a consultant to get me started.

Damm - I was told on this list that I should be using a text qualifier as
the drug descriptions have commas in them, thus ruining the delimiter comma.

I can get the data without the quotes, it just took me ages to get them to
supply it with the quotes!

Re: CFC - Web service error handling

2004-09-21 Thread Rick Root
Ian,

ALL of my web services return a CFC object, which at the very least 
contains two items - ERRORCODE and ERRORMESSAGE .. plus whatever else is 
expected to be returned.  I usually populate ERRORCODE with 0 or 1, and 
ERRORMESSAGE with some appropriate error message.. which is sometimes 
cfcatch.message or something like that, and other times it's things like 
"The username you provided was not valid".. ie, not an actual exception.

Doesn't really matter as long as each row is in the same format you can 
load the csv into a query using cfhttp. ie. each row is : medicareno, 
firstname,lastname,medication,quantity,description

Once you've loaded the CSV into a query, you can then use Query of Query 
to reorder etc etc without the overhead of having to insert everything 
into a DB and then requery everything out of the DB.

Don't need to.  CFHTTP will take the first line as the column names for 
the query it generates and insert the rest of the CSV data into the 
query, as long as there are no data errors of course.  If there are 
errors in the data, its not going to matter if you load it into a query 
using cfhttp or parse the contents of the csv into a database, it will 
still fail.

RE: ;amp in my URL's?

2004-09-21 Thread Sandy Clark
If you are using FB4, then chances are that these are coming from relocates
in the circuit.xml.  & is actually the way that they should be written
both in FB's circuit files and in HTML. 

 
Ampersands (&'s) in URLs

Another common error occurs when including a URL which contains an ampersand
("&"):

 

This example generates an error for "unknown entity section" because the "&"
is assumed to begin an entity
 . In many cases,
browsers will recover safely from the error, but the example used here will
cause the link to fail in Netscape 3.x (but not other versions of Netscape)
since it will assume that the author intended to write §ion, which is
equivalent to §ion.

To avoid problems with both validators and browsers, always use & in
place of &:

Subject: ;amp in my URL's?

Im trapping a few errors per day which means probably 1-1000 users (or 
more) is experiencing this problem, and not sure what could be causing it. 

Basically if I look at the cgi.query_string it shows

fuseaction=DisplayNews&ContextID=MSA&ID=4324&GBT=Main

vs. what it should be

fuseaction=DisplayNews&ContextID=MSA&ID=4324&GBT=Main

What would be placing amp; in my URL strings? I simulated the exact steps 
as the user but did not throw an error message. We are both clicking the 
link from same version of lotus notes, launching the same version internet 
explorer external from lotus notes. Im almost sure this is some sort of 
setting in the broswer or on the computer, unrelated to the application 
itself. Any insight would be appreciated.

Thanks,

RE: ;amp in my URL's?

2004-09-21 Thread Casey C Cook

AAARGH!  That foul beast dares rear its head again!?!!  (read with pirate
voice and one eye squinted shut)

I had/have this exact same problem.  The site I work on has two sides: one
that I manage, using CF, and the other that someone else manages, using 
any
number of technologies, including Lotus Notes.  The sign-in/registration
system that I designed runs over the entire site, so the two sides have to
play nice together.  Because the other side doesn't use CF, I had to do 
some
trickery.  This trickery involves (among other things) _javascript_ code 
that
sits on that other side, and which bounces users who aren't signed in over
to my side.  Of course, in doing this, I want to be sure that I can route
users to their desired location after the sign-in.  To do this, I place
their desired URL into a URL variable.  Here's where things fall apart.  I
can't remember exactly which part causes the error, but the idea is that
some bit of it all (the browser, the _javascript_ code, something) converts
those nice & characters to their HTML equivalents (&) and all hell
breaks loose.  As I remember it, the problem was even more complicated in
that even if I got it through the first step, it might get fouled up at 
the
second step (when I send the user back). 

Bottom line (ugly bottom line): my solution was to stop trusting the 
various
bits that were converting the ampersand character into its equivalent and
back.  At the very start of the process, I replace all ampersands with the
lovely string QQQampQQQ.  At the very end of the process, I reverse the
process, replacing QQQampQQQ with ampersands, and redirect to that 
address.

I readily admit that there must be a better way.  That said, I caution you
against spending too much time finding it.  As I remember it, the reason I
went this way was that--while I could get it to work in one scenario--the
various possible cases got rapidly complicated, and it was much easier to
convert the string immediately into something that would be preserved
regardless of which automatic conversion it was going through.

All that said, can I help you at all?  I would make sure I know the 
process
from end to end: where does the URL begin its life as a variable, and 
where
does it end that life.  If you can't figure out an easy way to fix it, do
the ugly trick above.

HTH,
Matthieu
--

Thanks for the responses, we are still looking into the issue. So far we 
have potentially found a workaround with the code below. In the event I 
cant find the exact cause the work around should work, I guess I will find 
out soon enough. Hopefully the error reports disappear when I come in 
tomorrow morning. I still have some users to talk to tomorrow, hopefully 
our discussions narrow the search.

You shouldn't be getting an Access Denied message unless you're not allowing
anonymous users.  (If the other website is open to the public, then
anonymous access should be allowed).  If you do need to login with a domain
username and password, then use the username and password parameters in the
cfhttp tag.

My guess is that the other box doesn't allow anonymous access to the URL in
question. Have you tried accessing it using USERNAME and PASSWORD attributes
within CFHTTP? CFHTTP supports Basic Authentication.

I like to use wget, but there are lots of these things out there.

I'm not absolutely sure about the internals of CF, but I can tell you that
CF doesn't just point IIS to the file. There is significant overhead to
using CFCONTENT to return files, beyond the overhead of a web server
returning those files.

There are all sorts of approaches you might consider, such as the use of
non-anonymous logins in IIS combined with filesystem permissions on the
files in question which can be set from your CF program in various ways, or
the use of temporary symbolic links to directories that aren't usually
web-accessible.

RE: Coding question ?

2004-09-21 Thread Mark W. Breneman
This is not exactly what you are looking for, but it may work better,

 
Build a data base to hold a local temp version of the data from the remote
server. Then have a Scheduled Task run every minute or so to update your
local version of the data. 

 
This should greatly speed up any page that relies on a query that could take
5 seconds.

 
You could also could also cache the data from the remote database in a
session var. Or look into query caching.

OT: JS Gateway Question

2004-09-21 Thread Tangorre, Michael
I am still in search of a solution to a problem I had a few weeks back.
This is OT for the CF list, but I am hoping someone here has used the JS
Gateway from www.pengoworks.com. 

 
I have a form with a bunch of select boxes on it that I use qForms to
populate, etc (from a DB.. use ColdFusion to loop etc...). I also use
the JS Gateway for two of the select boxes; lets call them "A" and "B".
When the page initially loads everything works fine.. "A" populates fine
and when a user selects something in "A", "B" populates fine (using
Gateway). The issue I have is that when the user comes back into the
form after saving the form, how can I get "A" and "B" populated since
they rely on the Gateway for initial population as well as obtaining the
values for "B" from "A"?

 
I have tried everything from setting the value for the "A" select after
the loadOptions() method loads the options etc, but I keep finding
myself in this infinite loop or getting out of memory errors etc. Do you
know how I could accomplish getting "A" populated and set with the value
from the DB then get "B" set based on "A", finally setting the value of
"B" set with the value from that comes from the DB (if there is one of
course). I have come back to this problem many times, always failing to
find a solution.

 
Anyone using the Gateway and have some suggestions? In case it helps,
the following are the Gateway functions that are used:

Thanks! 

-Mike

 
// Gateway Init() function
function init(){
 objGateway.>

I have a reseller account with HostMySite and my initial account is the
Ultra Developer. Their support is awesome (24/7 phone and live chat).
Their servers are nice as well and I have never had any problems with up
time. Their DB servers are limited to the number of DBs on them, etc...
Which is good! The prices are good, not the best, but their support
makes up for the couple dollar difference when compared to their
competitors. I highly recommend them, although I am eager to try out
cfdynamics after speaking with them at the FB 4 conference.

RE: Coding question ?

2004-09-21 Thread Patrick McGeehan
Maybe a bit more complex a solution then you are looking for.  But you can
simulate a forked thread by putting the query in a separate page that runs
the query and stores it as wddx packet, then call the page using cfhttp from
another ColdFusion page.  The calling page can wait a give amount of time to
see if the cfhttp.filecontent returns

 
I could go into more detail if you really wanted to try something like that.

Re: CFCONTENT

2004-09-21 Thread Andrew Dixon
Hi.

I believe, but I might be wrong, that it simply changes the HTTP
Header to make the returned CF page appear to be an attached file
instead of a HTML page and then pipes the files to the browser a
binary object. I don't believe any temporary file is returned, but
neither is the actually location of the file.

Subject: CFCONTENT
To: CF-Talk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

I'm looking to use CFCONTENT to provide the various files on my
 website as I am finding hotlinking a bit of a problem at the moment
 and want to stop it.

 I'm hosting on a Windows 2000 Server with IIS5 and CFMX (6.1) and plan
 on using CFCONTENT to check the referring page to make sure it came
 from my own site, the implementation of the code is not a problem, I
 know how I'm going to do that, however my questions concerns how the
 CFCONTENT tag actually works at a low level.
 The files I have on my site vary from 0.5MB to 20 or 30MB so I want to
 be able to estimate what kind of extra overhead I will create when I
 have 20 to 30 files being downloaded at any one time.

 Can anyone explain how the tag works?
 Does the tag create a temp file and tell IIS to return that file?
 (creating more drive access overhead and longer CF execution time)
 is the data to be returned piped to IIS instead? (creating memory
 usage overhead and longer CF execution time)
 or, does CF point IIS to the file that I want returned? (which should
 be the same resource wise as just directly linking to the file in the
 first place)

 Any help on this would be very useful.

 I had looked at Apache as an option for the server to use the
 .htaccess files to prevent hotlinking, however the server also needs
 to run several ASP applications which I've had difficulty getting
 going under Apache.
 Of course if anyone knows of another way to prevent hotlinking, I
 would be grateful to hear it :)

CFC - Web service error handling

2004-09-21 Thread Ian Skinner
I have recently written my first, simple webservice and once I learned the importance of white space, ie have none; in any application.cfm file located in the same dirctory with the webservice CFC, all went well.
My question is what is the best pratice to handling errors in a webservice? Other then have none, of course!  It seems to me, on first glance, to be a bit of a tricky subject?  What information, if any, about an error do you provide to a consumer of the webservice.  And if you do provide information, how do you do this, if you are specifing the return type to be something incompatable with returning useful error information?

Re: FB4.1 ETA?

2004-09-21 Thread Barney Boisvert
The UDF-based parser (and consequently custom lexicon verbs) was my
project.  Related was exposing the info from the fb_ struct required
for custom lexicon verbs in a defined way, using a fb_.verbInfo
struct.  That'll let us change the way the fb_ structure works without
affecting custom verbs.

CVS is the way we're going.  I've been running a server internally for
a few weeks, but before we actually start using it as a team, some
changes need to be made.  And, of course, the process of coalescing
all the changes that were made this weekend.  I'm hoping to have that
up and running today, though it will be controlled access for
everything, no anonymous access, at least initially.

I need to stress that 4.1 does NOT include custom lexicons in any
supported fashion.  The code to allow it is include in the cores as a
preview of things to come in 4.2 (or whatever).  So expect that your
custom lexicons will occasionally need slight modifications until 4.2
(yes 4.2) is officially released.

One problem with BD was it's different handling of variable names, in
particular 'return'.  CFMX will let you name a struct member "return",
but BD won't.  We renamed the attribute (on the INVOKE verb) to
'returnVariable'.  The other was that BD won't let you assign a
structure to one a key of a nested structure, even though this is a
perfectly valid thing to do conceptually:




Hopefully we'll get the new core files with the BD fixes out this week
(as Beta 2, most likely).  The UDF-based parser will most likely not
be included, as we need to do some further testing on it to make sure
nothing changed in terms of functionality.

cheers,
barneyb

RE: ;amp in my URL's?

2004-09-21 Thread Cornillon, Matthieu (Consultant)
>Im trapping a few errors per day which means probably 1-1000 users (or 
>more) is experiencing this problem, and not sure what could be causing it. 

AAARGH!  That foul beast dares rear its head again!?!!  (read with pirate
voice and one eye squinted shut)

 
I had/have this exact same problem.  The site I work on has two sides: one
that I manage, using CF, and the other that someone else manages, using any
number of technologies, including Lotus Notes.  The sign-in/registration
system that I designed runs over the entire site, so the two sides have to
play nice together.  Because the other side doesn't use CF, I had to do some
trickery.  This trickery involves (among other things) _javascript_ code that
sits on that other side, and which bounces users who aren't signed in over
to my side.  Of course, in doing this, I want to be sure that I can route
users to their desired location after the sign-in.  To do this, I place
their desired URL into a URL variable.  Here's where things fall apart.  I
can't remember exactly which part causes the error, but the idea is that
some bit of it all (the browser, the _javascript_ code, something) converts
those nice & characters to their HTML equivalents (&) and all hell
breaks loose.  As I remember it, the problem was even more complicated in
that even if I got it through the first step, it might get fouled up at the
second step (when I send the user back).  

 
Bottom line (ugly bottom line): my solution was to stop trusting the various
bits that were converting the ampersand character into its equivalent and
back.  At the very start of the process, I replace all ampersands with the
lovely string QQQampQQQ.  At the very end of the process, I reverse the
process, replacing QQQampQQQ with ampersands, and redirect to that address.

 
I readily admit that there must be a better way.  That said, I caution you
against spending too much time finding it.  As I remember it, the reason I
went this way was that--while I could get it to work in one scenario--the
various possible cases got rapidly complicated, and it was much easier to
convert the string immediately into something that would be preserved
regardless of which automatic conversion it was going through.

 
All that said, can I help you at all?  I would make sure I know the process
from end to end: where does the URL begin its life as a variable, and where
does it end that life.  If you can't figure out an easy way to fix it, do
the ugly trick above.

Subject: CFX Tag no longer working - help!
To: CF-Talk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Gretings all,
I have been using the CFX_Printreport tag to launch the Crystal Report
engine and print highly formatted reports for many years now. It has
worked really well but recently the servers were upgraded to W2003 and
now the tag does not work on the production machine but does on the
backup machine. Both are running CFMX 6.1 and Windows 2003 Server,
both have the same version of Crystal Reports installed. One works,
the other doesn't, the appliation code is identical. I believe it must
be something to do with permissions, authority or perhaps availability
of ports but I don't know how to confirm or investigate these things.
Does anyone have any ideas about how I can figure this out.
Thanks in advance for any help

Julian

Re: MM deprecates ODBC on CF5? was: OT- Hosting Recommendation

2004-09-21 Thread Matt Robertson
Thanks very much for the info Sean.  

I checked the registry and it says the MDAC is 2.53, which I would
assume is 2.5 sp1 or 2.5 sp2.  Should I upgrade it?  Haven't had to
mess with this on any server for quite some time, but 2.53 doesn't
seem too far out of date.

Found out what those characters ascii codes are, and replace them with 
more acceptable substitutes using the Replace() function and the Chr() 
function.

are actual users I talked to on the phone and walked through all the steps 
to reproduce the error. They throw the error when clicking the link and I 
do not. There is something different about their browser settings or

I have been able to insert a file into an image field in a SQL 2000

I found that I had to use the built-in (Merant?) SQL Server driver

Does anyone know of a reason why I can't use the built-in SQL Server

the JDBC driver?

A coworker built a similar page in ASP and his pages insert a binary

It's a best practice to disable RDS on production servers for obvious
reasons. I've never heard anything about disabling it in multiple-instance
configurations beyond that, though. You can run RDS on each instance, and in
fact, that's the default I think.

However, you can't install ODBC services for additional instances beyond the
first installed. That might be what you're thinking of.

CFX Tag no longer working - help!

2004-09-21 Thread julian
Gretings all,
I have been using the CFX_Printreport tag to launch the Crystal Report engine and print highly formatted reports for many years now. It has worked really well but recently the servers were upgraded to W2003 and now the tag does not work on the production machine but does on the backup machine. Both are running CFMX 6.1 and Windows 2003 Server, both have the same version of Crystal Reports installed. One works, the other doesn't, the appliation code is identical. I believe it must be something to do with permissions, authority or perhaps availability of ports but I don't know how to confirm or investigate these things. Does anyone have any ideas about how I can figure this out.
Thanks in advance for any help

Julian

Re: WWOT: OS X for Intel?

I fully agree with you (Jim). Your comments on linux and Firefox are
very accurate as well.

Anyway, as I see that this has gone way off the original topic of this

or resources involving User Interface Development/Design that you
would recommend. I have read a book called "Inmates are Running the
Asylum", which was very good, but I would like to see some more
applied examples, etc.

If you would like, e-mail them to me off-list or let's start another

and on par with discussions that we have on this list.

I still say that overall they seem about the same to me.  There are so many
 aspects to working with the OS's that you spend months coming up with lists
 of "good and bad" for each.

 For a brand new user my only suggestion is always to just pick the one that
 your friends already use so that you can hit them up for free support.  ;^)

 As an aside this is exactly where I think that Linux is failing: so far we
 simply don't have any Linux Distros that even approach the consistency and
 usability of the big two.  To a lesser extent I see the same problem with
 FireFox - it's a gem wrapped in brown paper and that's a shame.

 I think that mac osx is a bit higher scoring on the UI because things
 seem to be more readily available. Quite the opposite of the cd burner
 icon complaint. With windows you have to drill down for everything -
 from the start menu to the open file dialog everything is hidden (the
 exception being the actual desktop). While mac has that too, the
 launching docker and the 4 pane file opening dialog make it seem
 easier to find / organize things - it just seems more fluid, less
 hidden, and better organized.

Computers are way too stupid to do anything on purpose, so you can count
that out.

If you catch different exception types, they may contain different things.
This is especially true in CFMX, where the exception object is essentially a
wrapper of some Java object. There are some articles about this on Sean
Corfield's and/or Brandon Purcell's blogs, I think.

Setting the two values to be the same increases performance in so far
as it eliminates the need for the JVM to resize itself based on the
resources being used. This can be an expensive process, which might
cause a degradation with regard to your application performance.

You may have a problem with memory though ...you may get Java out of Memory

RDS, multiple instances, and DWMX2004

2004-09-21 Thread Douglas Knudsen
Ok, I got a box with multiple CF instances running.  Per the docs, I
have disabled RDS on all but the default CFusion server.  DW can hook
up and all except I can't get it to see the DSNs on the other
instances!  No  RDS!  a conundrum.  Now, is it really best practise to
disable the RDS servers in multiple server instances? I've only seen
this mentioned on MACR site somewheres.

RE: BLOB

2004-09-21 Thread Robertson-Ravo, Neil (RX)
Says the DB minx ;-) if you have the RAM, the processing power and the file
space to run with BLOBs then go for it...I personally and have always been
warned off using them from various sources...they are not user friendly true
that may be changing but in essence there really should be a need for them
..if you can use a pointer to a physical object).

There is a saber to everones foil on this issuelike someone mentioned
and maybe I was a tad strong and single minded but I do think BLOB's are a
just not good for such things as Web Apps...and using with CF

multiuser, continuous data, data integrity, transactions, business rule
implementation, centralized storage and management, not having to manage
millions of files, etc. pretty much every reason why you'd use a db in the
first place. the whole GIS industry is running its enterprise databases on
modern BLOB (spatial) technology. ibm, oracle, ms, esri, mapinfo, etc. have
all spent a bundle on this technology. even freebies like postgres (postGIS
is actually pretty slick) & mySQL are on the bandwagon.

RE: Web Application Development using Cold Fusion in a Team Environment (Draft)

Hi Don

 
I wasn't been cheeky, just pointing to the resources that I have seen
that seemed to fit in with your question.  You should have a look at the
book and the coding guidelines, I got a lot from them anyway :)

 
A few times I've found it heartening that what I kinda taught myself has
been what the pro's on the list advocate (still, it's a small drop in
the ocean compared to the new stuff I've learned :)

 
Anyways, cheers and good luck with the doc

That reads anti-BLOB to me. But reardless, I'm just saying its not as
clear cut as that. There are legit reasons to storing large objects in
databases.

Clustering and data integrity to name a couple reasons. If I have say
6 clusters worldwide supporting my application. A record in an

piggy-back the database replication to move the files rather than
create and/or use a seperate system for replication.

Now I don't endorse putting every little thing into a database, and I
don't recommend it should be used as the primary storage. I belive it
was Jim Davis who wrote about a hybrid solution between database and
file-system. In the application I mentioned above, the files are
replicated across all the databases and CF pulls down new and/or
updated versions to store in file system. The application uses the
file-system for primary storage and retrival.

As for bloating the database size, it's pretty insignificant in the
grand scheme of things. (Of course I recommend you cap file sizes
regardless) Plus we now have the ability to perform a full database
backup without having to run backups on the file-system. At any point,
the database and source can be deployed as fully operational version,
without losing the files associated with the data.

I'm sorry if I was a bit blunt before, but like clockwork, if anyone
asks anything about BLOBs on this list, there is the immediate
criticism of "You shouldn't do that", rather than offering assitance.

Well yes and no, it's not just my opinion its also good SQL practice,
Storing data in BLOB's and CLOB's is not good full stop. It leads to
overgrown database systems and unnecessary storage of binary data.  You have
to see it from this point of view, SQL and Databases per say are a data
manipulation language/design when you have data in a BLOB what are you doing
to do with it? It can't be modified or altered via SQL, so in essence its
pointless. If you have the file to insert into a BLOB then  just store a
reference to that file object.

If you can give me a valid business case of storing data in this matter
which overrides the fact its bad practice then I am all ears.

Re: Web Application Development using Cold Fusion in a Team Environment (Draft)

2004-09-21 Thread Don
DC,

It seems that my "quickie" write-up of my understanding of Web application development with Cold Fusion in a team environment is the "natural" (logical, might be a bit self-congratulating) outcome based on my years and years of CF experience (way before ASP etc. came along) and a relatively open mind (the point is along that line).  FYI, I haven't even browsed BF's certication book (not that I shouldn't), as for MM Coding Guidelines, maybe I've read that long time ago.

Thanks for the comment.

It should also be noted that DBs have come a _long_ way in handling
binary data. I'm not talking about Access here. For instance in Oracle
you can use PL/SQL or Java to modify the files within the database.

Another note about the size, again I'm speaking about Oracle, only
small files are actually stored in a table. Usually only pointers are
stored into the tables.

RE: BLOB

2004-09-21 Thread Robertson-Ravo, Neil (RX)
Not at all, I am not anti-BLOB...just storing file objects etc is not
goodWhat if your DB is taken down.?

Clustering and data integrity to name a couple reasons. If I have say
6 clusters worldwide supporting my application. A record in an
application can have multiple files associated with it. I can
piggy-back the database replication to move the files rather than
create and/or use a seperate system for replication.

Now I don't endorse putting every little thing into a database, and I
don't recommend it should be used as the primary storage. I belive it
was Jim Davis who wrote about a hybrid solution between database and
file-system. In the application I mentioned above, the files are
replicated across all the databases and CF pulls down new and/or
updated versions to store in file system. The application uses the
file-system for primary storage and retrival.

As for bloating the database size, it's pretty insignificant in the
grand scheme of things. (Of course I recommend you cap file sizes
regardless) Plus we now have the ability to perform a full database
backup without having to run backups on the file-system. At any point,
the database and source can be deployed as fully operational version,
without losing the files associated with the data.

I'm sorry if I was a bit blunt before, but like clockwork, if anyone
asks anything about BLOBs on this list, there is the immediate
criticism of "You shouldn't do that", rather than offering assitance.

Well yes and no, it's not just my opinion its also good SQL practice,
Storing data in BLOB's and CLOB's is not good full stop. It leads to
overgrown database systems and unnecessary storage of binary data.  You have
to see it from this point of view, SQL and Databases per say are a data
manipulation language/design when you have data in a BLOB what are you doing
to do with it? It can't be modified or altered via SQL, so in essence its
pointless. If you have the file to insert into a BLOB then  just store a
reference to that file object.

If you can give me a valid business case of storing data in this matter
which overrides the fact its bad practice then I am all ears.

Your opinion doesn't necessarily = good practice.

Storing data of this type in a database is not good practice, it should be
avoided at all costs...

I'm trying to do the same thing, with little success.  I can't get the
binary data inserted into SQL, however, I can use ToBase64() and insert
it, but that's not really what I want to do.

I am able to get binary data (jpgs) from a database, but I'm not able to
insert a binary file.

I hope someone can shed some light on this for us all.

Thanks

How do you add a file (e.g. PDF) to SQL Server as opposed to
creating a row that you convert to a URL that links to it.

I want to create an application that includes student dossiers
so I don't want them to be locatable or downloadable by anyone or
anything other than application users. Security is at application level
and managed by the application, not directory level.

Is this the best or recommended approach.
