Re: Embedding Flash Files in CF Page

[Chris Montgomery]

Well, after trying everything I can think of, this isn't working. Could 
there possibly be some mime type issues with the .flv files? I'm testing 
this on my local development box, WinXP Pro, CF8, using the built-in web 
server with CF.

RE: getting min value based on inputs

[brad]

Well, there's always the brute force method.

I believe it would take #plans x #lines tries to complete, but the good
news multiplication and addition are very fast operations even when done
millions of times. :)

I don't think there is any algorithm or equation you can use since there
is no real pattern or method to the different plans.

Searching for the letter "a" on google.

"Results *1* - *100* of about *17,790,000,000* for *a*. (*0.16* seconds) "

But yeah That isn't a MySLQ query. Gmail can be sluggish but I think it
is more of a JS engine issue more than anything else.

The MySQL software bundle is pretty crappy. I stopped using them years ago.
I was never able to get the migration tools to work right.

However, SQLyog, Toad for MySQL and the EMS tools rock IMHO.

Now that is funny.

But yeah, I moved to MySQL cuz it was free and I was a freelancer at the
time. $5k is a lot of beer and donuts.

But at the same time, I have been able to do things with DTS and SSIS that
are pretty stunning. Like import a 25 meg MLS XML file in what I can only
describe as being a blip. That was in 2003 though. I haven't looked at
MySQL's tool set in that respect since then.

RE: Stung by HostMySite price increase?

[brad]

 curious as to why anyone would want to switch from MySQL to MSSQL..
 a quick look at mysql.com/customers showed the following:
 facebook
 feedster
 flickr
 fotolog


Let's be very clear about the different versions of MySQL.  Chances are
when someone says they are using MySQL, they probably have the free
version.  I guarantee you facebook and company are paying the healthy 5
grand per server for the Enterprise version of MySQL which comes with
unlimited tech support, GUI Admins and monitors, etc.  The free version
of MySQL comes with pretty much a set of online docs and a "good luck". 
(Mind you I use MySQL-- the free version-- for my sites and like it very
well).

I'm guessing a lot of people who say they switched from MySQL to MSSQL
probably went from the free version of MySQL to MSSQL.  And if you're a
.NET shop eyeing SQL Server Reporting Services, SQL Server Integration
Services, and the rest of the MS koolaid, there could be a lot of very
good reasons to switch.  I really like MySQL (hey, it's FREE!), but if
money were no object I would be using MSSQL for my personal sites in a
heartbeat.  Well, if my server wasn't Linux that is...  :)

Re: Stung by HostMySite price increase?

[David McGuigan]

There are about 1,000 reasons I can think of, but I only have limited
experience with SQL Server ( just enough to observe these differences ):
Less administration and maintenance.
Less tuning necessary for pureformance.
Exponentially superior performance out of the box.
A single, superhero storage engine ( which itself has about 1,000 other
benefits IMO ).
Way more stable.
Better IDE and tools ( the MySQL enterprise tools, at least the ones I've
used, are all but a joke ).
Significantly lower total cost of ownership for teams and companies without
expert MySQL in-house knowledge that know how to solve all of MySQL's
shortcomings without investing a lot of time in research and scavenger
hunting ).

Companies use open source ( and free ) software for a variety of reasons.
Usually out of either stubbornness or a genetic allergy to Microsoft.

Out of the companies you listed, I've only ever used Facebook, Flickr,
Google, eBay, iStockPhoto, Ticketmaster, and Yahoo.

I'm not saying this is a litmus test, but with the exception of maybe Yahoo
( but I haven't really used Yahoo THAT much ), I have always consciously
THOUGHT as I used every single one of those other sites that their
performance was pretty lackluster. Obviously we can only speculate as to
what their bottlenecks are/were, how much a factor their scale actually is,
etc, but I have felt, and noticed myself feeling, very disappointed with
their software performance. Clearly MySQL is to blame ( kidding ).

Because it has a much richer set of features, perhaps? Because it can
do a lot of things that MySQL can't?

That's nice, but irrelevant. You can find a list of companies using
whatever product you can think of.

There are lots of good reasons to use either product. "Because company
X uses it" is not generally one of those reasons, unless your business
needs are identical to company X.

a quick look at mysql.com/customers showed the following:

facebook

fotolog

and that was just in "f"

also found craigslist, ebay, Google, istockphoto, ticketmaster, webtrends, 
yahoo and the list goes on and on...

I found the switch fairly easy, definitely worth a look as its free to download.

Re: url-write and global error handling

[Dave l]

He did ask this on the railo list, and then got his ass handed to him 
again

Einstein's ? isn't about url rewriting at all which I told him before but since 
we all know how well he listens, I guess when you get stomped on so many times 
this happens.

His ? is how to change/hide the railo admin url location so the public can't 
get to it. The only part of this that's url re-wrting is that's what people 
suggest to do to hide the admin. 

If I was him I would probably want to hide the admin as well since his password 
is probably either "duck duck" or "goose".

1) disable url-write across board for Resin web server
Why on frickin gods green earth would this be a good idea?
Again what you are asking for REQUIRES URL RE-WRITING you twit

2) global error handling
Well it works for the rest of us, maybe you just don't know wtf you are doing.

Getting an email address from an email body

[Pete Ruckelshaus]

I need to automate the process of removing bounced emails from an email
list.  I have a "failto" email address set when I send mail, and I'm using
cfpop to check that account for bounced messages.  I'm getting the messages
as expected, but I'm trying to figure out how to parse the failed email
address out of the bounced message body, which (usually) looks like this:
This is an automatically generated Delivery Status Notification. Delivery to
the following recipients failed. xxxyyy...@msn.com

Where the message body isn't exactly like that, the bounced email address is
usually the first email address in the message body.

How might I go about extracting the first email address that occurs in a
string?

Thanks!

Pete

Re: OT Simple URL Rewrite

[Dominic Watson]

Or indeed:

^/test/www/(\d+)$ /test/www/index.cfm?id=$1

They way we are using *ionic* ISAPI rewrite means that it will always start
from the root of the domain. Perhaps lookup editing your hosts file so that
you can have like:

http://localhost.mysite1/
http://localhost.mysite2/

etc.

Then an IIS instance for each site and so a rewrite ruleset for each site.

Embedding Flash Files in CF Page

[Chris Montgomery]

Howdy,

I've never worked with Flash files before and now have a need to embed 
some in a CF page. The files are in .FLV format, not .swf. Is there a 
quick tutorial on how to do this in CF? I'm on a CF8 server. FWIW, I 
want to do something like what is on this page: 
http://www.phantomscreens.com/content/video.php.

I need to do this pretty quick so I would greatly appreciate any tips. 
Thanks!

This sounds like a variation of the traveling salesman problem:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Travelling_salesman_problem

My comp sci knowledge and math skills aren't really good enough to
help you come up with the best solution to your problem, but you might
take a look at the various approximation algorithms out there to find
a solution.

PLANB   $32.00  200
PLANC   $42.00  500
PLAND   $52.00  750

PLANG   $105.00 2,100
PLANH   $155.00 4,000
PLANI   $210.00 6,000

And given the user's input of say 10 lines and 9500 minutes. Is it
possible to come up with the least costly set up that meets the
requirements? For example. 10 lines 9,500 minutes would be
1 @ PLANI = 210.00 (6000 minutes)
7 @ PLANC = 294.00 (3500 minutes)
2 @ PLANA = 50.00 (0 minutes)
total = 554.00

You'd think it'd be
1 @ PLANI = 210.00 (6000 minutes)
1 @ PLANG = 105.00 (2100 minutes)
1 @ PLANF = 84.00 (1400 minutes)
so that satisfies the 9500 minute requirement
so the other lines would have to go to PLANA
7 @ PLANA = 175.00 (0 minutes)
total = 574.00

Any ideas would be most helpful!

Re: Stung by HostMySite price increase?

[Billy Cox]

SQL Server Express isn't an option due to size limitations, although we 
may scale back from Standard edition to Workgroup. We chose Standard 
initially in order to take advantage of SSIS, but we haven't had the 
time to become proficient with SSIS and have moved our old DTS scheduled 
jobs to CF scheduled tasks.

url-write and global error handling

[Don L]

A couple of things that I'd like to do with local deployment of my web app 
using an open source cfml engine.  FYI, I ran some quick search, unsatisfactory.

1) disable url-write across board for Resin web server
Know exactly how, not looking for something/block on a similar web server

The following code seems to touch on security, a quesion is when then how 
exactly to use this guy to disable admin access other than 127.0.0.1 across 
board?
And a related question, why this option?  vs at web root level, set something 
like if !(#CGI.script# contain "127.0.0.1") cfabort ?  for an application file 
(cfc or cfm)
// pls ignore my spelling and exact syntax 


  xmlns:resin="urn:java:com.caucho.resin">
   
 * 8 * * *
 * 16 * * *
   
 


2) global error handling
in the Adobe coldfusion world, a global error handling template,
called at application level would capture any/all errors if they occur.  adobe 
cf handles three types (request, exception and ? forgot one)
However, it has not been my experience with open source cfml engine, that is, 
identical error handling mechanism(only one type, exception if memory serves), 
the app would randomly or sometimes complained
about "bla bla file not found" despite correct configuration of everything I 
think, directory mapping, customtags mapping etc. this sort of problem is real 
bad for new users, I'm sorry if I'm wrong, loose code, yes, but I would think 
only spotty not across board, and an app shouldn't pay such penality.

Thanks for your time.

Re: Stung by HostMySite price increase?

[David McGuigan]

This link: http://www.microsoft.com/sqlserver/2008/en/us/pricing.aspx
Mentions a Web
edition for $15 per month ( per processor, not core I believe ),
specifically targeted at web apps deployment.

If you end up exploring that and find out that the licensing is just as
simple as that please let us know. I've been repeatedly disappointed with
MySQL and would love to migrate. Thanks.

RE: Stung by HostMySite price increase?

[Mark Kruger]

Yes the proc license is really the only way to go... The difficulty in
switching depends greatly on your code. IT could be quite easy - or require
rewriting every query.

I recently helped a customer go from MySQL to MSSQL and I wrote a couple of
posts on it. It will give you an idea of the type of difficulty you might
encounter.

We recently got a note from HostMySite (now Hosting.com) telling us about a
big price increase in SQL Server licensing. We've had a dedicated server
with HMS for about a year and the mere thought of shopping for a new hosting
provider makes me feel tired.

Has anyone else encountered this?

We have considered purchasing our own SQL Server licensing and I am
wondering (predictably) whether a processor license is the only way to go
for a web app database.

That is a very open ended question. The answer to which could run the gamut
from "Not that hard at all" to "A freakin' nightmare".

It all depends on how you are using SQL Sever. Do you use SSIS? Do you use
any SQL or T-SQL that is particular to SQL Server's dialect?

I moved a bunch of apps to MySQL a few years ago and it was fairly painless.
But then again they were very Plain Jane SQL wise.

There are plenty of tools out there to ease that sort of migration. EMS
comes to mind as does Red Gate.

Re: Stung by HostMySite price increase?

[Judah McAuley]

Like most things, the answer to all your questions is "it depends".

If you have an app that doesn't have a big load, SQL Server Express
might do fine for you. It is free but will only use 1 processor core,
1 GB of RAM and has a 4 GB database size limitation.

Porting over to MySql can be very easy or pretty difficult. A lot
depends on how you write your code. Do you use an ORM like Transfer or
Reactor? If so, then you don't have to worry about the back end db as
it is abstracted and the ORM will take care of the db-specific details
for you. Do you use a lot of TSQL in your queries? If you have
MSSQL-specific code strewn all over, like using SCOPE_IDENTITY() to
get back a newly inserted autoincrement id, then you'll have more work
to do to translate that over to MySQL-specific equivalents.

I'd try setting your app up with MySql. See what breaks. Then try it
with SQL Server Express and do some load testing. See what happens.
That should give you some guidance.

Cheers,
Judah
