Re: exporting from a CF Application to MYOB
There is a connector you can get to allow direct ODBC connection between MYOB and a SQLServer (and other ) database. I'm currently building an application where there is going to be nightly transfers of data between a web site (customer supplied info going into MYOB) and MYOB (updated credit limits going up to customer records in the web site) I'm not at my office for another 10 days but if you want i can send you details of how to do it then. If you cant wait that long, contact support at MYOB and ask about a subscription to the connection key for ODBC. (You have to pay something each year to keep the key working). Hope this helps.

What you're talking about here is complicated by the fact that you work in an environment where you've got a bunch of business users in this corporate environment who've all become accustomed to handling their data that way. And part of the reason that they've become accustomed to handling their data that way is likely a result of poor user interface being left poor and having people simply "cope" with it rather than make it good UI. For any given employee (programmers excepted), the likelyhood is that they pretty much work with and share a very small set of actual data (or aggregated reports on larger sets). These very small sets of data however are stored in very massive tables containing the data sets for all the other employees as well, but when they go work on them, the system doesn't make any distinction between "stuff Bob works with most of the time" and "stuff Jim works with most of the time". It just tosses the whole gigantic list at them unceremoniously and says "you tell me what you want". So they've become accustomed to referencing things by number because they're accustomed to searching for things in haystack-needle fashion. Whereas if from the beginning they'd been given "learning" systems that remembered that "Bob uses this property a lot, maybe we shouldn't force him to search through 4-million records (3.9 million of which he's never touched), for a property he uses every other day". Then Bob likely might have acquired a habit of thinking about it as "Wireline" rather than either "property 58" or "Wireline in Richardson, TX on 22 Acatia Avenue". Either of the latter are rather cryptic and given the choice, "property 58" is probably the lesser of evils. But I'd bet that given a system that learns about his habits and predicts them, he and the coworkers in his team would be a lot happier thinking of the property as just "Wireline". So that's my rant and I'm sticking to it. :) -- s. isaac dealey ^ new epoch isn't it time for a change? ph: 503.236.3691 http://onTap.riaforge.org/blog ~| 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:296716 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

Re: CRUD Creation
> I think reading the article will make your mind up either way about > the wisdom of not using 'auto increments' / surrogate pks (I realise > they are not the same thing). This in particular === 2) The definite possibility of historical data contamination. If you leave your company, and somebody else comes in and is assigned your old LAN ID, what will HR do with all of your old employee data, or anything in the database that references your LAN ID? === Is an often overlooked but very important point. It used to be common in ColdFusion (I think possibly before there were easy ways to fetch inserted autonumber values), to determine the id of a record you're about to insert by fetching the current max() of the primary key column and adding 1 to it. Which although it worked, produces a negative-scaling curve (i.e. the bigger your data set, the less it scales). Most of the time the scaling wouldn't be an issue -- even with millions of records you can get the max back reasonably quickly. If you deleted any record in the middle of the stack you were fine too, since it would just create a "hole" say between records 8 and 10. But if you had 10 records and then deleted the 10th and then created a new record, you had a much greater risk of that record being contaminated with information from the previous record that had been there. And it might not even be anything in your system - it might be something as simple as a user having bookmarked a page with that id in the url. They hit their bookmark and viola! Instead of "sorry this record has been deleted" they get different data, and depending on the display, they may not realize until after they'd done something tragic that they were editing the wrong data. Imo poor handling of historical information is pretty pandemic in software in general, I think mostly because we're kind of trained to focus mostly on other contexts where the needs of the domain are somewhat antithetical to the needs of a historical problem domain. -- s. isaac dealey ^ new epoch isn't it time for a change? ph: 503.236.3691 http://onTap.riaforge.org/blog ~| 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:296714 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
Re: CRUD Creation
I used to think that people do not care to see the primary key so in my last big application I did not display them(unique numeric IDs) in most places. After about 6-8 months it was found that the users want to see those keys and that they use them to reference things. For example they rather say property ID 2806 instead of the Wireline property located in Rosharon, Tx on 22 Acatia Avenue.

This is exactly what the 'respected' Joe Celko preaches and it is clearly dangerous. It can creep up more subtly though as with the situation of the OPer. I have found myself doing these things half by mistake and now conscious of the issue am rectifying where possible. One example is writing facebook applications; I store all my facebook users that interact with my app in a user table and have been using the Facebook userID as the PK, a bigint. Seemed ok enough until I wondered what happens when Facebook change their userIDs from bigints to UUIDs... oops. I have corrected that one since reading the article already. Obvious really, just needed going back to school.

Re: CRUD Creation
Ok, so I did some googling because I wanted to know WHY it was 'best practice' to add a surrogate key to the table and why to rail against the idea of using 'natural keys' as primary keys. I stumbled across perhaps the longest thread I have ever read completely, it starts in November 2001 and the last post was january 2007. I was tempted to post but thought better of it :p It references an article advocating the use of natural primary keys and produced the most entertaining rant and informative series of posts I have read in a long time. The rant starts at the end of page 2 and is by 'quazibubble' who later becomes QB after he gets banned. I think anyone considering using natural keys should read his rants, they are both entertainingly rude and contain the gems of wisdom that the likes of me need: http://www.sqlteam.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=6136&whichpage=1 I think reading the article will make your mind up either way about the wisdom of not using 'auto increments' / surrogate pks (I realise they are not the same thing).

Re: CF8 Image function - get size of text written
You may want to try using TextLayout instead of FontMetrics getStringBounds() for a more accurate measurement. The Font API mentions "The logical bounds does not always enclose all the text. For example, in some languages and in some fonts, accent marks can be positioned above the ascent or below the descent. To obtain a visual bounding box, which encloses all the text, use the getBounds method of TextLayout." ~| 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:296704 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

I've helped a few HTML/PHP people get up to speed with CF (in fact I'm doing it now) and I've found that often people learn best by example, but preferably real world code. So to start with I give them something like a mostly-finished Fusebox circuit for a CRUD app - say, maintaining one type of record - and get them to produce the same for a different type of record. Or I'll write the CFC for grabbing records, and give them an output page with just a CFDUMP so they can see visually see how the data is structured and lay it out (good for HTML peeps). CFDUMP always impresses people used to PHP or ASP too :) Once they've actually generated something that's actually useful - and not a hello world page - they're usually encouraged to expand on what they've done. Of course, I'm talking about people that I'm actively working with.

RE: Barcode Question
I'm not sure if this will work for you but I'll mention it. We recently did a project that handled faxes with 2D bar codes. We used a java library from Java4Less to create a 2D "data matrix" code on a fax cover sheet. The idea was that user would fax documents into our fax number (on an Asteisk server). They would be stored on the drive as PDFs. Using CF8 and the CFPDF tag we created thumbs of the cover page from the fax and then extracted the bar code - passing it to the java4Less library for decoding. The result worked really well. Ryan Stille (the CF Webtools guru who came up with the solution) posted a CFC to use in conjunction with the library. Here's my post on the topic: http://www.coldfusionmuse.com/index.cfm/2007/12/12/fax.2D.barcode.Coldfusion ..8 And here is ryans post: http://www.stillnetstudios.com/2007/12/15/2d-barcodes-coldfusion/ That includes a link to the riaforge project. -Mark -Original Message- From: Ciliotta, Mario [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 16, 2008 2:34 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Barcode Question Hi, I was wondering if anyone could assist me with an issue.

Re: Training a new programmer
I agree. When one of my employers decided to go from CF to .NET, I was given 90 days to get up to speed to beginner/intermediate level. So they told me to pick some light-weight apps that I did in CF then convert them to .NET. It worked. In about four months I was doing some high level .NET stuff.

I don't change the query at all. I re-hit the query while the execution plan is cached. It breaks?

Sometimes, we just make CF code changes, but we do make changes to our database with some regularity. It sounds like the only time this is a problem is under the following circumstance: alterations to an existing DB table where a related execution plan is stored in memory. If we create a new table, or if (by luck) no referencing execution plan isn't stored in memory, then we're okay. I'd say we make changes like that as often as a few times a week? There might be a week or so that goes by where we don't make a change like that, and then a week will come along where we make a host of such changes. Is this really the exception rather than the rule? I would think that most sites are under constant evolution, database included. I suppose I'm trying to get a sense of how the community at large deals with these issues. Do people take databases offline when making structural changes, or make a habit of cycling the SQL service (which would probably clear the cache, but I'm not sure), or do people routinely call the SQL procedure you highlighted above? I'm mostly annoyed that this doesn't "just work". Maybe that's unrealistic of me, but I don't think it's unreasonable of me.

Re: cfqueryparam, cached execution plans, and changing table structure
Even when we have updated a schema in the past the execution plan is trashed and a new one is prepared and we do not experience any problems. Why would a schema change multiple times in a day, there is agile and there is ridiculous that seems to be treading on ridiculous. I've never experienced an issue with local development either which I could see the schema going through rapid changes during spikes.

Re: cfqueryparam, cached execution plans, and changing table structure
Thanks, Jochem, for the reply. I glanced at that call just briefly; does it clear *all* stored execution plans, or just a specified one? It seems like the only way it would be useful in this context is if it cleared them all, since we have no way of knowing which plans are cached. A larger question is this: isn't this a huge headache for everybody? We update our site a lot--sometimes several times a day--and if having around means we need to add an extra step to our process of getting stuff out to our production servers, that just seems like a big pain.

Problems with CFDOCUMENT and load balancing
The situation stands as such. I have an application hosted in my environment that uses the cfdocument tag. Our servers are clustered at the JRun level. We also have a hardware load balancer in front of the servers. When calling the page containing the cfdocument through the load balanced URL, the process fails 99% of the time. Looking at the stack trace in FusionReactor, it looks like it times out at about 60 seconds and gives up (we time out requests in the admin at the 60 second mark). However, if you go directly to the machine (bypassing the load balancer), the page request returns correctly. Has anyone else run into this?

Re: cfqueryparam, cached execution plans, and changing table structure
Hi Ben, In the ColdFusion administration there is an option for caching or keeping the connection open... I can't remember what it's called. If you disable this option and then re-run the query you can re-enable the option.

Re: cfqueryparam, cached execution plans, and changing table structure
Tom, Thanks for the reply, but I don't think that would solve the problem. The issue is that the execution plan itself is cached, and so it doesn't know about the underlying database changes. If I run a different query, it won't affect this execution plan. And even if it did, that's still not a solution I would run with. That would mean that for every database change I make, I would have to be the first one to hit the associated cached query. Our site has enough traffic that it's very likely a user would hit one of these queries before me, and would therefore see an error.

Re: Ajax CFgrid in cf8 help
OK, you have your grid object, 'mygrid', now you can do a bit more
before your .reconfigure(). Create your paging Toolbar. First you need
to get your grid footer:
var gridFoot = mygrid.getView().getFooterPanel(true);
After this you create a new PagingToolbar:
var paging = new Ext.PagingToolbar(gridFoot,ds,{
pageSize:25, //number of records displayed in grid
displayInfo:true,
displayMsg:'Displaying records {0} - {1} of {2}',
emptyMsg:"No records to display"
});
Somewhere after this is your mygrid.reconfigure(ds,cm), which will
reload the grid with the changes.

Ajax CFgrid in cf8 help
Hi, I have been using the CFgrid tag in CF8 (format HTML, bound to a
cfc), and i have got it do almost all that i need it do (see below).
Except that i don't know how to get access to the TOTALROWCOUNT figure
that i can see in the debugger returned from the CFC , and also be able
to display that figure either on the bottom of the grid itself (using
ext.toolbar???), or even above it on the page using another ajax method??.
I need to do this show the user amount of records returned from his/her
search. i.e 'your search returned x number of records.' From reading Ray
Camden's blog I know i have to use the underlying Ext library that the
cfgrid tag is based on, and i have used his solution to format some
columns in the grid (nice one Ray). But i am not really getting anywhere
(hopelessly bamboozled) with the records returned figure.
If any kind person would like to me help me i would be indebted to them.
myf = function(data,cellmd,record,row,col,store) {
return "£ " + data;
}
formatgrid = function() {
mygrid = ColdFusion.Grid.getGridObject('ad');
cm = mygrid.getColumnModel();
cm.setRenderer(3,myf);
cm.setRenderer(5,myf);
mygrid.reconfigure(mygrid.getDataSource(),cm);
}

Re: CGI parameters
Well before that i had CF8 (developper) installed as a war app above tomcat (apache wasn't involved) and it was already giving me this problem. I read something about a proxy redirecting the requests - i don't think that it's the case. It's very strange. If anyone has something to suggest? :) Ben On Jan 16, 2008 8:05 AM, Tom Chiverton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Wednesday 16 Jan 2008, benjamin schwartz wrote: > > No. :) I thought of that. > > And it's a normal CF8 install via Apache ?

CGI parameters
Hi, I just installed CF 8 Standard (running on os X - with apache serving the files). Here is the problem when i try to get a client IP address using #cgi.REMOTE_ADDR# i get the ip address of the server. I was reading a thread on here about a similar problem and someone suggested using #CGI.HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR# #CGI.HTTP_X_FORWARDED# #CGI.HTTP_FORWARDED_FOR# or #CGI.HTTP_FORWARDED# but they don't come back with anything and indeed if i do a cfdump for CGI i don't get those variables. Would anyone know why my server is behaving like that?

Glad to be of help. -Original Message- From: Don L [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 15 January 2008 16:32 To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: beat a dead horse? Many thanks, Will, this is exactly what caused the problem which initially I did not expect, I wished I checked this thread first 45 minutes ago. One problem with FF2 remains though, that is, the following code would return a full window instead of current window (what size it may be) To everyone else, many thanks as well.

ColdFusion 8 Report Builder on Vista Home Premium
Hi, I would like to know if anyone had encountered this same problem on Vista when using CF 8 Report Builder: - cannot import/export styles. On the Report Styles window, click "Export Report Styles", the save dialog window will be displayed, then enter the filename and click save button. The problem would be that the file you had just created cannot be found in that directory! I'm not sure if Vista is preventing the Report Builder in creating files. But then, even the import functionality is not behaving properly. The new styles are not present in the report. BTW, my account is an administrator, though i'm not using the administrator account itself when i'm using Report builder. I wil have to try that later, but I have to report now my experience regarding this matter just in case someone can lead me to a fix for that.

I searched google and also the following site http://www.bennadel.com/blog/877-ColdFusion-Calendar-Event-Scripting-Inspired-By-Peter-Bell-.htm This site is really good but doesn't cover the part which I am looking for. My approach is following - PatternbaseTable --- Pattern Id--> 0,1,2,3 Pattern value --> daily,weekly,monthly,yearly EventTable - Pattern Id, Start time end time start date end date isRecurence --> which indicates if it is recur event or not. no_of_occurence counter --> to keep track on number of recurrences which are over EventPattern Patternid Primary value secondary value -- 0 [ Daily ] 2NULL --> This row means event is daily and will recur every 2 days 0 [ Daily ] NULL 1 --> This row means recur every weekday 1 [ weekly ] 2 MTW --> this row indicates recur every 2 weeks and the days are M [ monday] T [ tuesday ] and [wednesday] 2 [ Monthly ] xxx --> I am not clear on how to fill for monthly 3 [Yearly ] xxx --> Not clear So i want to know if my approach is clear.If yes then what values should I fill for monthly and yearly. For monthly I am having the options like "The first sunday of every 3 months" For yearly I am having the options like "The first week of march" The values "first" "sunday" are shown in the drop down list. So any expert suggestions.
