RE: dealing with timezones
Dealing with time zones was a major PITA a recent project I did. Eventually I decided to store all dates in UTC and format them as needed for the current user. This made it much easier to deal with those dreaded daylight savings time shifts, when local time jumps around and offsets just don't cut it. (My project was CF and java, and most of the database reads were done in java. This simplified some things for me, I think.) So, I'd say you first big decision is whether to store dates in UTC or not, and if you are serious about trying to make local time feel right to any user then I'd say UTC is the way to do. Either way you decide, you will probably be frustrated at some point by something that should be easy but isn't.

They're all running the same code which subscribes (in a fashion) to a central application to verify the site's status.

Hey guys, Yup, this is a unique situation, it's a new application on top of an old database built in Pervasive SQL. The Primary key holds ID numbers that aren't auto generated. The legacy app that sat on top of it was Tango 2000, and the way the ID was done was by querying the database, sorting the ID's in the resultset in numeric order, grabbing the last ID number and adding 1 to it.

Best way to do this...
Here is the situation: There is a conference in March. The customer wants to have an application where when the registrants come in they can immediately print out their information, tickets to events (maybe up to 5 events at the most) and their ID tag (name and logo) First of all we need to have a printer that can handle a huge load (most likely 3,000 registrants a night) and of course the logos have to be in color (ugh!) We are trying to figure out the best way to have the layout. I have never done a conference like this before. If anyone has and has any advice for me that would be great. I am sure more information is needed but I wanted to get the general idea of what I was looking for. Thanks in advance for any advice/recommendations.

Re: Dynamic ID's
Yup, this is a unique situation, it's a new application on top of an old database built in Pervasive SQL. The Primary key holds ID numbers that aren't auto generated. I think I see the situation and you're approach is valid but long winded ;). You can insert a record with a new ID with one SQL statement (and select the ID, should you need it, with another). Lets say your table has two columns, ID(int) and Title(varchar 50): cfquery name=qry_newThing datasource=#request.dsn# INSERT INTO thing (ID,Title) SELECT Max(ID) + 1, cfqueryparam cfsqltype=cf_sql_varchar value=#newTitle# maxlength=50 FROM thing !--- then select the id for reference if you like --- SELECT Max(ID) as ID FROM thing /cfquery !--- redundant line of code but you get the point: --- cfset myNewThingID = qry_newThing.ID Dominic ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:295192 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
RE: SQL Full-Text Searching
I think it indexes individual columns only, and treats them as separate fields... It does not combine column1 with column2, so firstname=john, lastname=doe will not match john doe, but [EMAIL PROTECTED] will match. Apparently (with SQL 2000 anyway) you cannot index computed columns (first name + last name) so you may be stuck unless you create a real column with both fields combined (or a row in a different table where all of the fields are combined). I have read that SQL 2008 will have a different interface to full text searching (at least, for defining full text indexes) but I don't know if the capabilities will be different.

Re: dealing with timezones
True, but willing to take the risk. I actually just had one of our systems adjusted for timezone differences and need to see how he went about it. I know he used the Oracle TZ table and some pointers or data from that table stored in one of the applications tables so that queries could then adjust the time as needed. As a rule we do not use CF(or the Java it is running on) for TZ adjustments. We already have time problems with our CF7 boxes because the JVM that adjusts for the TZ changes in the past 1-2 years conflicts with our LDAPS cert which forces us to run on an older JVM.

Re: dealing with timezones
Trust me, the JVM issue has had a lot of man hours invested in trying to fix it and the only solution found was to go to CF8 and that was just more fuel to the people pushing to trashcan CF completely and go to .NET Actually in all reality I do not see us needing to worry about it much since I believe any of our apps that need to worry about this will end up getting retired in less than a years time as Exchange, SharePoint and a whole slew of other MS products are pushed out and CF is trashcanned as quickly as the IT Architects can make it happen. All CF does is display a character from the database, it has no clue that the character is a date/time within that string. CF does collect a time in the form of HH:MI DD-MMM- but it never considers anything in regards to TZ's because really the application does not care about that at all. all of the business logic around the TZ's is done in the database. The database sees what physical location is dealing with a record insert/update and the database looks at its mapping between a physical location and its TZ system tables and then it deals with any manipulation/calculations that need to be done from there. Since Oracle runs on top of Java, I'd imagine they too are on top of things. The nice thing about us relying on Oracle and not CF is we know CF has issues due to conflicts outside of its control, the Oracle boxes have yet to present a problem and if they did I have far greater confidence in the people administering those boxes vs the whoever the contractor is this week for the CF boxes.

Re: JREE Servers (was Session Management - sticky sessions)
We use clustered CF servers, most sitting behind F5 switches. We do sticky sessions with Jboss and WebSphere and have session replication with WebSphere. Not being an admin I like jboss as websphere is not easy to admin for a non admin type, its also expensive and heavy. You might note though that as far as I recall Jboss is only offically supported in non-cluster, if I recall this is more due to a lack of testing rather than a statement that it doesn't work. In Feburary we are migrating all our servers to WebSphere, mainly for a cost advantage over Red Hat's support price hike on Jboss. I'm still a huge Jboss fan as Websphere does not supply a good development environment, unless you use WASD ($$ and bloated). The community edition of Websphere is completely different technology so do not think you can deploy to that locally and have the same results in production. For CF development I wouldn't expect it to be an issue but if you are doing Java development as well the Websphere Community edition is no good, for now you are just as well of developing on Jboss. If anyone ever has questions about CF on Websphere or Jboss I'm always happy to help, I'm a big fan of developing on jboss + CF.

Re: Dynamic ID's
cfquery
declare @newid int
select @newid = max(id) from Members
if @newid is null
Oddly enough that's actually more complicated than is necessary if
you're using SQL Server -- i.e.
insert into members (memberid,x,y,z)
values (
(select 1+isnull(max(memberid),0) from members),
valx,
valy,
valz
)
I'm pretty certain that (or some variation) works for SQL Server...
which of course is totally unnecessary on SQL Server if you're using
identity columns. :) But then Rick replied later to say that he's not
using an identity/autonumber capable database with his legacy app...
although if the db has some equivalent of isnull() then the above might
work out fairly well. In failing that, this should work:
cftransaction isolation=serializable
cfquery name=next datasource=blah
select max(memberid) from members
/cfquery
cfquery datasource=blah
insert into members (memberid,x,y,z)
values (
cfqueryparam value=#next.memberid+1# cfsqltype=integer /,
xval,
yval,
zval
)
/cfquery
/cftransaction
The serializable transaction is important to ensure that there's not a
race condition between when the max is retrieved and when it's inserted
into the table. However I will say one other thing about this. There's
another race-condition-esque problem with this strategy that may crop
up. If a user deletes the record which is currently last in the database,
then the next record that gets inserted will have the same id as the
deleted record, which may be confusing if someone has bookmarked a page
with that id in the url and/or may cause some data related to the
deleted record to show up erroneously as having been associated to the
new record if the application doesn't use foreign key constraints (which
I personally almost always use) and doesn't do a great job of cleaning
up the data in those related tables when a record is deleted.
This may or may not be a big concern for you, given that it's a legacy
application and it may not have a huge user database and the likelyhood
of these things happening (or being problematic) may not be very high.
However if you want to avoid that situation, what I would recommend is
as at least one other guy on the list mentioned, creating a second table
just to hold the new id's. The very simple table would just contain two
columns - tablename varchar(x) currentidentity int - and instead of
select max(memberid) from members, you would use select currentidentity
from [identitytable] where tablename = 'members' (or whatever your table
is). You would also need to add a 3rd query in your transaction between
the 2 above to insert or update that row of the identity table, i.e.
cfquery dsn=blah
cfif val(next.identity)
update [identitytable] set currentidentity = currentidentity+1
where tablename = 'members'
cfelse
insert into [identitytable] (tablename,currentidentity)
values ('members',1)
/cfif
/cfquery
Although this does involved 3 queries instead of 2, its performance
won't change as the size of the database grows (as opposed to max()
getting slower as the table gets larger, which, with a legacy app is
probably not a real big issue). If you end up doing this sort of thing for
several tables you may want to create a CFC to abstract this so you
don't have so much duplicated or copy/pasted code.

Re: Dynamic ID's
The database does support autonumber, but this is a legacy app and database. Also, there are many times where autonumber isn't useful because when you delete a record, the database re-numbers everything changing the ID which we didn't want. Oh I misread that the first time...

Re: dealing with timezones
As a rule we do not use CF(or the Java it is running on) for TZ adjustments.

I would expect that also to be true of Oracle, although I don't know for certain. MySQL I honestly would say it's up in the air -- I know MySQL does a lot of things rather differently than other databases, like allowing you to specify a different engine for each table, which I believe was a large part of the reason why it took them so gosh darned LNNN to add support for views. Similarly, their table names were at one time case-sensitive or could be (which was non-standard behavior). That being the case, I don't like to make any claims about what I expect MySQL to do. :P And similar with any other databases, most of which I've had no exposure to. -- s. isaac dealey ^ new epoch isn't it time for a change? ph: 503.236.3691 http://onTap.riaforge.org ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:295226 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

It's really the alt or title tag that might potentially have non-xml safe characters, but still not very often. The 2nd rereplace checks to see if the image has an xml closing and if not then it closes it so that the xmlparse() will work properly. Of course, if you don't want to do the xml thing, once you have the tag by itself, then it's a lot easier to just get the src attribute via regex,i.e. cfset img = rereplace(img,^.*src=([^]+).*$,\1) Although that runs some other potential risks of getting content from a site that's using xml where the author used single-quotes instead of doublequotes (minor change to the above regex I admit).

Re: Best way to do this...
Lori, Here's my thoughts on your problem: 1) Have the static elements of the tickets and ID's printed professionally by a printer on blanks - it will be much cheaper than paying for ink outright. It will also take less time to print. Maybe a perforated blank with the ticket on once side and the badge on the other.I know this is what SXSW does, for example. 2) When the registrant arrives, send their information to the printer where the blanks are pre-loaded and print their personal information, logo, and picture out on the blank. A separate color logo (which I am assuming is what you mean) throws a wrench into the whole deal, because it means the printer hardware is much more costly as is the cost - per - print job. I might suggest doing a cost breakdown for the customer on color vs. greyscale logos factoring the cost of ink and hardware capable of handling both color printing and an acceptable page per minute rate for registering 3000 applicants in a single night.On an event of that scale the difference probably runs into the thousands. Another option would be to print the badges out in advance and file them and then just use blanks for the tickets where the printing will only be done in B/W. Pull the badge from the file and print the ticket out at check-in. HTH, Jon On Dec 20, 2007, at 10:22 AM, Lori Stone wrote: Here is the situation: There is a conference in March.

Even if each registration only took 20 seconds it would take over 16 hours to register everybody if there were 3000 people. Sounds like you want to have SEVERAL printers. ;^) But it does lead you to a good place to start: determine your registration process and how long it will take (padding high). Multiply that by the number of people you expect - that's how long your registration time will be. You need to weigh that value against the amount of time you'll be accepting registrations (taking popular times into consideration) and determine the number of stations/printers you'll need to provide service... then add 20%. Assuming you want portable then I think most high-capacity, high-speed printers are out of the question. Consumer level printers (if there's enough of them and if there's somebody to do basic maintenance like change ink and load paper) should do fine. course the logos have to be in color (ugh!) We are trying to figure out the best way to The best bet here, if at all possible, would be to print black and white over pre-printed color stationary. The printing will be MUCH faster (and much cheaper). Cheap black and white laser (or even inkjet) printers would do fine - anything you can find today can print at least several pages per minute in BW. Printing color on the spot adds a lot of complexity to an already complex process. Think about the conferences you've been too: none of them print in color - they all print in BW over color stationary. A redundant set of cheap printers is probably going to be more reliable overall than a single monster printer. If a big printer goes down you're stopped dead but if a cheapy dies you just replace it or close that one station. You should also ask the venue - many places that support large conferences have this kind of gear already - you pay extra to lease/rent it but they tend to know their stuff.

I'm tired of writing code once that can be accessed from anywhere. I want to write code that only gets deployed on Windows and only works in IE. Screw this write once, run anywhere, access from anywhere crap. It's too much power! I'm not Spiderman, I can't handle this responsibility! Sigh. It'll be great to become a .NET developer.

Re: Want to move into .Net?
the take the next step professionally certainly could be taken at a promotion of .NET over CF... OR as a reference to the fact that anyone who's applying to his post is taking the next step, professionally. That is, after all, what you do anytime you change employers or careers, isn't it? Adam, I've got to say I was fairly shocked by what you wrote. Not for what it said so much as because it was you who wrote it. It's not surprising where your thoughts on the matter would be, given your employer and position there, but that's also what makes the aggressiveness of your response so surprising. I love CF, I don't think anyone would ever question that, but I would never berate a company or developer for using one technology over another. Sometimes there's good reason for using what you use. Yes, even when it's not CF. When there isn't a good reason and CF would have been a better choice, that approach doesn't do anyone any good - it certainly doesn't change anyone's decision to use a technology. What's worse, this is a guy posting employment opportunities. He may be a 3rd party recruiter, a manager, an HR employee, or any number of folks who could care less whether the position is .NET or CF... they may not even know the difference between the two. Either way, attacking the job poster certainly isn't going to make the company stop using .NET. I'm not sure what you hoped to gain? I also think it's worth noting that the position was for someone who knows CF but wants to learn .NET as that's the technology being used for new development. What's wrong with posting that position on CF-Jobs? Why would any CF developer NOT want to learn another skill? I wish I had the opportunity to learn more about tons of languages besides CF - I know I try my best to do so whenever the opportunity presents itself. That's how I grow, how I stay fresh, how I continue to become more marketable. What was is Sun Tzu said? Something like Keep your friends close and your enemies closer. Knowing more about different languages also gives me a better perspective of and appreciation for ColdFusion. just my $0.02 ~Simon Simon Horwith Adobe Community Expert Adobe Certified Master Instructor http://www.horwith.com Jesse B wrote: So you think I am a tool, your intitled to that opinion but no where in the original post does it mention .Net is better.
