Re: Algorithms
While those concepts won't necessarily help you with Cold Fusion, a good grounding in algorithms will make you a better programmer. In fact, the best programming book I have read is called Algorithms + Data Structures = Programs. I am a firm believer that if you know programming theory, you can look up the syntax. That allows you to move between languages or development environments with ease. You might even find you enjoy the challenge and go on to become a real programmer.

Re: Stupid mistake :)
part of the problem is is because even though you are doing 50 per page I bet your query grabs ALL the records each time, which means CF and the database gets hammered by search bots. there are 2 ways round this and to also provide better performance overall.. 1. cache the recordset and use the startrow and maxrows attributes of cfoutput. 2. write a query that only gets the records you need, can be complex in some database systems 3. require users to provide a search filter -- Russ Michaels www.cfmldeveloper.com - Supporting the CF community since 1999 FREE ColdFusion/Railo hosting for developers. blog: www.michaels.me.uk ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:337930 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Re: Any way to prevent storing methods inside of an array
It sounds like creating some sort of 'collection' component may solve your problem. So, instead of having an array of objects available to the application at large, you have a collection object that contains the array as a private property plus a method for returning a read only form of those objects (such as a query). I've only skimmed the answers here so apologies if this is way off. HTH Dominic On 6 October 2010 17:47, Judah McAuley ju...@wiredotter.com wrote: Thank you Dave, that was very succinct and helpful.

Re: report builder similar to ms access
The most dynamical thing I've found so far is using JasperServer. It doesn't quite let you create free-form reports, but it has a lot of stuff you can use that lets the end user configure a report, and can produce reports in like 15 different formats. It is awesome. Eventually I'll get around to writing an HTML-based WYSIWYG JasperReport editor, for use with the cfjasperreport tag, which *will* be a free-form type of deal. The XML used for JasperReports is pretty easy to write, if you need free-form, you could whip up an editor and use the cfjasperreport custom tag. Another solution is to leverage iReport for the actual report design, with the JasperServer plugin. iReport is awesomeness too. :Den -- Madness is rare in individuals - but in groups, parties, nations, and ages it is the rule.

Re: report builder similar to ms access
Probably not ideal but throwing it out there as an option.. One way to do it is to actually use MS Access. If you can create an ODBC data source pointing to a read only account on the database you can do an import and link the tables to the database. You can set the permissions on the database to let the user only see the tables they need to see and create a sample report for them to use as a template. I actually used this sort of set up using MySQL so a company could get a daily report and running of orders placed in real time for accounting and inventory purposes. G!

Re: Any way to prevent storing methods inside of an array
I spent some time trying to expose the methods in different structures with different access layers and it looks like the methods will not show up (as a structure) when returning out as json, web service or any other remote call. So basically, I was concerned that creating instances of objects could pass information about the methods within a cfc (like which ones are remote and what arguments would be accepted) but the only way to get this information is through public or private method calls, in which case it needs to be embedded inside of a coldfusion template after the cfc has been initiated.

Well, I still don't really understand what you're concerned about. If you have remote methods, you can see them via WSDL - that's kind of the whole point: it's a remotely accessible API.

Re: Microsoft rumored to be buying Adobe
Microsoft bought FoxPro 8 years ago, and Foxpro is still alive. That's not living. That's barely existing. From Wikipedia: In March 2007, Microsoft announced that there will be no VFP 10, thus making VFP9 (released to manufacturing on December 17, 2004) the last commercial VFP release from Microsoft. The support of Version 9 is ongoing with service packs that were released December 8, 2005 and October 11, 2007.

No, this is not true. At the time they acquired FoxPro, it was significantly more advanced in many respects than Access. But they significantly slowed down the release cycle for FoxPro - it took forever for VFP 9. At the same time, they incorporated technology from FoxPro into Access.

Re: Microsoft rumored to be buying Adobe
Our company has a lot of legacy FoxPro still running. As I understand it, though, support for Visual FoxPro 9 ended April 2010. It is certainly not a living product, despite the fact that Microsoft did release several versions of Visual FoxPro after they bought the line.

Re: CF9 Paused Scheduled Tasks Still Running
I'm thinking that this is maybe NOT the way things should be. In my opinion, the Last Run column, as the name suggests (and what one would typically want to see, don't you think?) should always display the date/time of the most recent ACTUAL RUN, or execution, of the Scheduled Task, not the last date/time that CF figured it should have been run if it hadn't been paused. In comparison, when a Windows Scheduled Task is disabled, the date/time shown in the Last Run Time column never updates from the last date/time the task was actually executed (or from Never, if it had never been run). I think I'll use whatever formal communication methods are available to send in a soft complaint about this. It's just not right. I think the tasks are still polled to see if they need to run or not. That is probably what is updating the date. ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:337970 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

RE: CF9 Paused Scheduled Tasks Still Running
I didn't say it was ideal (or even true), I just said that I believe that's probably what is happening ;-) Either way, you are probably in a very small group of people who actually care.
