Re: zipping and unzipping a string
I'm not 100% sure, but SQL server 6 or 7 (I think, from memory) has a max record size of 8000 bytes or something weird. We had a couple of varchar 4000 fields and all the normal fields on top of that (PK, FKs, etc etc). It was fine till it started truncating info. Much research later and it turned out that the max record length was being exceeded. Hence the text field type and its data pointer goodness... One confirmation here: http://west-wind.com/weblog/posts/207.aspx If your wddx access does not need to be lightning fast, another option is to store it on the HDD and just store a reference to the file in your database table.

The database guy has hatred towards using a text data type and has challenged us to find a way to fit a 14K wddx packet into a varchar(8000) field. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, I would tell your DBA that large data types exist for a reason... large data! What is his reasoning for not wanting the text data type used? What is the purpose of the field, will it be searched? Indexed? Is the DBA familiar with Text In Row (alleviates the double I/O or text retrieval)... etc... Yeah... I gotta agree. You shouldn't change your data because of a personal hatred towards a perfectly usable feature. Does he have actual reasons? Anything that will offset the development time needed (and they completely lack of flexibility assumed) from hacking large data to fit in a smaller field? Look at the data. Use the data type most appropriate to the data. That's really DB 101 there. If you have problems after that optimize, consider kludges, etc. But not to do the logical thing because of a unsubstantiated personal opinion is just plain silly.

Re: 2 Primary Keys
It sounds like you are enforcing a 1 to 1 restriction but storing the link in a 1 to many or many to many db design. If table1 can only ever be linked to 1 table2 record and vice versa, wouldnt it be easier to store the table1ID in the table2 as a field (or vice versa)?

Re: jar launcher crashes randomly
xmlol It really depends on the trajectory you are planning and the type of condiment in the jar. Here in Australia we use Vegemite jars, although the Nutella jar is also popular. The majority of jar launcher crashes occur when the release mechanism is triggered but the jar is too firmly (or not firmly enough) attached to the device. The key is to make sure the lid is tight, and the bottom of the jar is wiped clean of all and any stickiness. A loose lid can lead to instability as the jar approaches escape velocity, causing havoc with the jar launcher's jar release mechanism. Sticky jar bottoms cause a similar problem. Having the correct density of condiment (eg Vegemite or Nutella) also play a major part in successful launches, where as the jams (jelly) and other toppings tend to be either too light or too dense, causing misfires and consequent launcher crashes. A secondary problem occurs when the jar launcher trajectory is too ambitious: any launch really needs to be between 27.5 and 67.5 degrees to the horizon, or the force vectors at the moment of release tend to reach a level of dissonanace that leads to a dirty jar release and subsequent launcher crash. Make sure you have the jar launcher tripod firmly locked into position on a firm, stable surface; have a fresh jar of suitably dense condiment, with the lid screwed on firmly and bottom surface wiped perfectly clean; remember to keep the trajectory angle reasonable and you should be fine. Good luck! /xmlol - Original Message - From: stylo stylo [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: CF-Talk cf-talk@houseoffusion.com Sent: Sunday, June 12, 2005 5:14 PM Subject: jar launcher crashes randomly No one has ever heard of this? ~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.

Re: Typesafe enum design pattern (another go)
Sounds like Taco is reading and learning about patterns and trying to implement / translate them into CF purely for the exercise or sake of doing so. Hence he would like to discuss the implementation / code at a purely theoretical point of view, rather than a specific implementation point of view. Respondents to date seem to indicate that a pattern is basically useless without the associated problem it was intended to solve being present. In a brain-storm session, Stage 1 is every idea is good - I think this is the space Taco is occupying. Once all the ideas are written down, Stage 2 involves picking the best / most doable ideas - looks to me like this is the space occupied by his respondents. I think the pattern porting exercise would be interesting and potentially valuable. This value could be greatly enhanced if a common CF or web-based programming scenario was also invented, for which the pattern provides a solution. Without this scenario, it would be like Mach-II or FB3/4 having base code and documentation, but no example apps. My gut feeling is that there are only a handful of other developers here who would be able to discuss pattern templates or implementations. It may be that another list is better suited, or a new CF-patterns / CF-hardcore list would at least show you through its subscription how many others are interested.

Is varchar fixed in size? If so the field would not satisfy an arbitrary depth of hierarchy. By dynamically-sized text field I mean any field type that allows an unlimited dynamic length of text, like the memo field in MS Access or DBISAM and is a generic description of what I meant.

Re: In One?
H I was not too serious - hence my use of the word cheat. You did understand my suggestion, but wanted to make it better, by using VarChar. I still fail to see how using varchar would make it better. Having developed a number of databases in my time I am well aware of the improperness of storing lists of id's. The customer wanted to: [store an arbitrary length hierarchy in one table] and [retrieve the path to the root parent] [in one query]. I believe my solution works based on these requirements/deliverables. Heck, I'm going to suggest storing both the ID and the Category name for display purposes :p Didn't say it was elegant, valid, correct or the right shade of blue. No mention was made by the customer of modifying the hierarchy nodes or anything. I can come up with solutions for that too, but it'll cost them extra :) The customer wanted a solution and that's all I was offering. And it's definitely cheating. :-) I've seen many properly designed database projects fail to complete and many home grown syntactically incorrect nightmare RDBMS (MS Access!) designs survive for years in both large and small organisations.

A suggestion: depends how open that client's network is, but you could include a couple of well-placed CFC calls to your own server that validate the license information you also incorporate into the code. If they remove the CFC calls, the app can bomb out - ie make the CFC do some action/return some result that is useful.

But I wondered if anyone on the list had any similar experiences, or any thoughts on securing it to some extent. ~| Special thanks to the CF Community Suite Gold Sponsor - CFHosting.net http://www.cfhosting.net Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:185563 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
Re: CFML vs PHP/ASP functionality [Was: Macromedia gives up on the server market in Australia and walks away.]
Maybe it's a small thing, but implementing CFOUTPUT GROUP= was pretty involved when developing in PHP. I had 3 levels of equivalent CFOUTPUT to deal with, all grouped. Maybe I missed some u-beaut PHP function as I learnt it for one project. If the web is primarliy about displaying information, the CFQUERY + CFOUTPUT tags vs query building in PHP or (I'm guessing) ASP.NET, jsp etc make CF a no brainer choice for me over any competing language.

Re: Primary Key Justification
This sounds familiar - strictly speaking, 3rd normal form databases are typically sufficiently normalised for everyday use. I do not remember all the terminology (dependencies, etc), but 4th/5th/Boyce-Codd (spelling?) normal form would lead to an entity/table design not unlike the one you are describing - each tuple/record can only be described uniquely by the combination of 1 or more fields and no other way. This theory is something we learnt at university, and imo, for 99% of cases in the real world, the theory should be left there. The co-worker is designing a fully normalised database table, but this does not mean it is programmer / web / etc friendly. It is quite possible a throw-back to AS400 / IBM development mentality where things are done the right way. The AS400 hardware is a case in point, they are as old as the hills and still going strong. I have no experience in AS400 development so this is pure conjecture. Neither of you are wrong per se. You have an opportunity to learn elite db design and configuration. In return you can teach your AS400 co-worker about web development and some nifty short-cuts (identity/sequences) that may make his life at work a little easier. Just some thoughts.

A co-worker built a data file (a data table on an AS400) with six fields. The only unique key of the record is the entire record, itself. The combination of all six fields must be used to identify the exact record. This is how it's done, is the reply I get. (I've been building web-based apps using relational DBs for 8 years. I have never used an entire record as the primary key.) I'm not passing an entire record through a URL or in hidden form fields. Imagine the nightmare of maintaining this application... A discussion of the existence of Oracle's sequences and SQL's identity fields did little to sway this person's opinion. This person's entire development background is AS400 with a history of bad database design. Now, I'm creating the table myself to do it right. ;-) Any thoughts?

Hi Charlie If it's a .dll that is called as a URL then you should be able to 1. grab your form vars 2. call the .dll using CFHTTP (or variants), passing the form vars to the .dll (as if the form had been submitted as per usual) 3. receive the results 4. display results or parse and massage the results, outputting them how you please.

However, dtSearch builds its search form (automatically) inside of a frameset.left frame is search form/results, right frame is target for search results (click a search result in the left frame, document is displayed in the right). We're trying to do away with the frames and embed the search and results directly into our pages...primarily to maintain our look and feel. I can do the search form itself...but the action attribute of the form is a .dll file (/dtSearch/dtisapi6.dll).This currently presents me the search results (a la Google) on its own page.Problem is I want to embed this into our current page.If I change the action attribute of the search form to 'page2.cfm' (for example), I'm not quite sure how to go about getting the form data to the .dll and embedding the results into the .cfm page. I've got an email into dtSearch (who, FWIW, have been very responsive), but I'm not quite sure how far they'll go to support my desire to use CF and maintain our own look and feel.

Compare this cost to the minimal, diagonal and horizontal cost and you are able to find whether the string is added, modified or removed from the version. The process is very cpu intensive when running on ColdFusion, especially creating the matrix which is len(chars) * len(chars) in length.

MySQL will never use CHAR columns if the table uses any variable-length columns (such as VARCHAR or TEXT).In general, it's irrelevant.From the application perspective, there's no difference between VARCHAR and CHAR, so just let the database do it's thing. The reasoning is that if a table has entirely fixed-length columns, the table can be operated on more efficiently, because you can do simple offset arithmetic to locate rows, rather than having to maintain a lookup table of where each row starts.However, fixed-length columns, particularly character data, are usually wasteful.Say you've got CHAR(20) for a firstname.That's 12 wasted bytes to store 'barney'. The tradeoff is for efficiency of execution versus efficiency of storage.Since the execution speed is reduced as soon as there's a single variable-length column, MySQL knows that the only think it can optimize is storage space, so it autoconverts all CHAR columns to VARCHAR. If you have multiple VARCHAR columns and it's possible to convert them all to CHAR, and not have any variable-length columns (keeping in mind that TEXT is also variable-length), you can do it, but you have to do it as a single statement: ALTER TABLE myTable MODIFY col1 CHAR(10), MODIFY col2 CHAR(20) rather than a series of single statements, because after each statement, MySQL will look and see if it should convert CHAR columns to VARCHAR, undoing the work. cheers, barneyb On Thu, 5 Aug 2004 17:17:08 -0400, Daniel Farmer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have the following column orderbyvarchar(5) I want to change it to... orderby char(5) I've tried this sql but no luck ALTER TABLE slideshow ALTER COLUMN orderby char(5) [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings] [Donations and Support]

Re: Help! - Dynamically Generate Forms from SQL DB - Bad Idea?
So every time a form is displayed, you are going to dynamically generate it from the database? How often does the form change? Aaron - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: CF-Talk Sent: Wednesday, July 28, 2004 11:24 AM Subject: Help! - Dynamically Generate Forms from SQL DB - Bad Idea? Hello List - I am looking to store information about variables nad form fields in a db to conditionally build html forms - Has anyone stored the variable name, and the form type in a database - and built the form dynamically on the fly? I can't seem to find any references to it and am thinking because it must be a bad idea. Basically - store name| type| state LastName text LastName text HowToContactradiochecked Then build components that write the html form- ie -if it's a radio button - cfoutputinput type=#type# name=#VarName# #state#/cfoutput Another purpose is - if I decide to do forms in Flash - perhaps I can have the database spit out an XML document to use to build the flash interface.

Re: HELP. CF and JavaScript question
Do you know how to do _javascript_ arrays? Wrap your _javascript_ array creation code in a CFOUTPUT and create them in CF, the browser will load the page and create the _javascript_ array. rough example: script // create your _javascript_ array CFOUTPUT QUERY=your query somejsarray[#currentrow#] = '#somefieldname#'; /CFOUTPUT /script HTH Aaron - Original Message - From: Kevin To: CF-Talk Sent: Monday, July 26, 2004 7:35 PM Subject: RE: HELP.

Re: Hackers and Painters - Applied to Cold Fusion
In my opinion, the idea and the implementation are far more important than the language used, when looking at developing a killer app. Plus I did Lisp at uni half a life-time ago and you don't want to go there :) Aaron - Original Message - From: Chuck Mason To: CF-Talk Sent: Monday, July 26, 2004 11:57 PM Subject: Hackers and Painters - Applied to Cold Fusion Was undecided about posting this here versus CF-Jobs-Talk but since it involves a technical question versus being job-related, decided to post to CF-Talk. I've recently read the book Hackers and Painters (by Paul Graham) and it was a very exciting book to read for those of us involved in programming who one day dream of building the next best software product.As Paul Graham speaks of superior programming languages and targets LISP as being the one, this book got me thinking about CF. I've been a CF / Visual Basic guy for the past 6-8 years and know nothing of LISP and/or whether it would be reasonable to study it in terms of designing a Web software product (Viaweb, which sold to Yahoo as their shopping card builder, was programmed in LISP).So to the bottom line ... for those of you Web software developers planning on designing the next best application - one which outperforms all others in it's class (shopping cart builder, lead gen app, etc.), - is Cold Fusion truly the language to focus on?Other contenders are of course Asp.net, PHP, Python, Perl, (and Lisp?).I have found programming Cold Fusion to provide rapid application development over the years but have recently been directed into the dark side (Asp.net) and ... using VisualStudio.net to program Asp.net apps is quite nice impressive, though I miss programming in Cold Fusion.

VMWare installs a networking driver on the host machine for this which I've found sometimes interferes with other network settings, plus getting a VMWare VM to work on a local network can be a major PITA. -Virtual PC VM's are very, very, VERY slow to install. VMWare formats virtual hard drives so fast you hardly see the progress bar. Virtual PC takes longer than a real hard drive to do the same thing, and then Windows takes nearly twice as long to install as it would on a real machine. - I've had problems running out of virtual hard drive space on Virtual PC, even though the drive was set to expand automatically. I never had that problem with VMWare. Given the price difference (and the fact that we got 10 Virtual PC licences with our last Action Pack) we now use Virtual PC, but if you disregarded that and weighed them on their individual merits, it's hard to pick between them. -- Kay Smoljak http://kay.smoljak.com [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings] [Donations and Support]

Re: keyword 'Where' error
Yes, you cannot specify a where clause in an insert. If you are updating a row then use update not insert. You can't have a where clause on an insert statement. Firstyl, you can't insert using a where clause are you wanting to do an UPDATE??? :) It's late and I feel mischievous, so I will respond to these assertions. You can do inserts using a where if you select values from a table, as follows (MS SQL Server-specific, possibly other DBs also): INSERT INTO TABLE (FIELD LIST) SELECT FIELD LIST FOR VALUES FROM 2.TABLE WHERE WHERE CLAUSE Clearly the syntax of the original post is incorrectly using the WHERE clause, I just wanted to point out that it CAN be used in the right circumstances. In the hope it may help someone down the track! The syntax above will potentially insert multiple records based on the SELECT.

Back in my day we had pedals under the desk hooked up to a generator to generate sufficient electrickery to power the hooziwatsits that read punch cards that we had to manually create with a pair of sharp scissors. Our database was a sturdy box holding the punch cards in correct order, and filtering or sorting was all done by hand. User output was handled by copying the cards and posting them to all our users...

Uploading large files
Morning all I have a client who would like to upload very large files ( 2 MB) into a system developed over a number of years now. The connection between sites is not always the best in terms of speed. I find the page times out regardless of the requesttimeout setting, these files are videos and presentation files/pps/pdf etc. Has anyone had experience in solutions for this? They are using bog-standadrd IIS/IE.

They are using bog-standadrd IIS/IE. Use FTP? Is this something you have done? ie the application is a project tracking/management system with a public and a private documents section. If a file is uploaded then CF is in control so to speak, and saving the document against a project is a straightforward task. Retrieving the document and displaying it as part of a project are also simple tasks. Saving the document as a private/public one is easy, as is moving documents between the two categories. Once we step outside the CFML realm (eg using FTP), the process for linking documents to projects, nominating destination directories, indicating private or public status on the document are all things that need to happen. And we are not necessarily dealing with tech-savvy or computer literate people, so as simple a process as possible is preferable. The majority would not have a clue what FTP is, for example. I have considered developing a purpose-built (desktop) application with FTP built in, that will do all the project linking, directory selection etc etc transparent to the user. This would allow me to do resume uploads etc also and make it all quite functional. This application would have a browser built-in (IE COM), so they could use it for all system access. I would appreciate a little more information on your proposed solution. My preference would be a soution through CFML/browser. Any other takers?

Re: parsing help for a slow learner
Hi Seamus You have a few people helping you already, but I thought I would share how I would do this for a different perspective: basically, I ask myself how would I do this manually, then map the process to code. I guess it helps to be able to think like a computer, but I digress. An alternative to the dynamic SQL generation is provided using [ ] instad of . Step 0: Get access to the file CFFILE ACTION="" VARIABLE=inFile etc etc Step 1: process each line This step includes recognizing that each piece of information is on a separate line (Chr(13)Chr(10)), and that on each line we have the metadata (BOOS, ANAM, TNAM, etc), separated from the data with a | character. NB: I treat things (everything!) as a list. I don't/can't do regex in my head, I do lists. [CFSET Record = StructNew()] CFLOOP LIST=#inFile# DELIMITERS=#chr(10)# INDEX=aLine Step 2: recognize records: This step includes grabbing the metadata for subsequent use Start = BOOS| End = BOOE| CFSET Meta = ListFirst(aLine, |) Just for fun (to handle a simple potential problem of missing fields/data), we will dynamically create the insert SQL statement as we go. To do this we will need 2 strings - the field list and the value list. We may as well initialize them at the start of a record. NB: to keep it simple, we are also going to treat all fields as string. You can modify this process as you see fit. CFIF Meta EQ BOOS CFSET FieldList = CFSET ValueList = [CFSET junk = StructClear(Record)] If it's the end of the record, we should insert it into the database... CFELSEIF Meta EQ BOOE CFQUERY DATASOURCE=etc etc INSERT INTO Books (#FieldLIst#) VALUES (#ValueLIst#) /CFQUERY [Do your data insert here, using the key/value data from the Record struct] Step 3: recognize fields We have tested for start and end of record, everything else is assumed to be a field: build up the field and value lists accordingly... CFELSE CFSET FieldData = Trim(ListRest(aLine, |)) CFSET FieldList = ListAppend(FieldList, Meta) CFSET ValueList = ListAppend(ValueList, '#FieldData#') [CFSET junk = StructInsert(Record, Meta, FieldData)] /CFIF /CFLOOP That will pretty much do want you want.

Re: Text file problem
[Non-cf suggestions] Not sure what database you are using but 77k record parsing/insert sounds like a prime candidate for Stored Procedure processing - take it to the database and let the database server do its magic. CF is obviously not built for / handling that kind of processing. Hmmm if memory serves, some databases also have the ability to do inserts directly from a CSV file. The details escape me for now [maybe something like INSERT into TABLENAME (#fieldlist#) VALUES (SELECT * FROM 'PATH TO CSV FILE')] but your database may have specific help regarding this ability. Another possibility is to treat the uploaded CSV file as an ODBC datasource (Microsoft Text Driver (*.txt, *.csv)). Again, your O/S is not mentioned, but if you're on windows, this would allow you to do the INSERT mentioned above treating the file as a second datasource - do a QoQ (do they let you do inserts?) and the O/S ODBC driver handles the file access for you... HTH Aaron - Original Message - From: Pete Ruckelshaus - CFList To: CF-Talk Sent: Friday, May 21, 2004 12:36 AM Subject: Text file problem Hi, I'm writing an application that allows our client support reps to import customer files of a predefined format into our database.The CSR uploads (form via CFFILE) the tab-delimited text file to the server, and then I loop through the file contents and insert the data into the database.So far, it has worked great. Well, we're getting bigger clients and we just got a 77,000 record file to import, and my import script died at about 52k records.In debugging it, what I found was that I was bumping against the max JVM heap size (we have it set at 512MB for all of our servers, and we came to this number after a long and painful period of performance and reliability testing of our application); if I bumped up the max heap size on my development workstation, the import script worked fine.Unfortunately, that's not an option for our production servers, and I also expect that our import files will keep getting larger. So, my thinking is to split the really big import file into a number of smaller files, probably 40-50k records per tab-delimited file.However, I'm trying to figure out what the most elegant way is to split these big files into smaller ones, and do it without killing performance.Has anyone done this?
