RE: Help on Duty Roster
Han WOW, a few years out. Don't know how much help this will be but a few suggestions. I would start with these tables 1) Individual (ID,name, etc) 2) Exemptions (ID, exemption - Leave, Other duty, etc) 3) Dates (IndividualID, ExemptionID, startdate, enddate) ?4) Roster list ( the control number of when Individual last had duty) (Normally high number is up next- could possibly be added to Individual table) There are a number of calendar generators. You need to just find one that fits you best. You would generate the calendar. Loop through control numbers find highest one. Review exemptions if none for the date, place individual on duty (possibly rest to 1 at this time, you might need to have another table to temporally hold the information to accommodate changes). if individual exempt don't reset control number, go to next highest and repeat. When the roster is completed (monthly, quarterly) you could create temp tables to hold each time period. I have manually ran a number of duty rosters, but have never tried to completely automate one.

Evaluate(WHAT?)
For instance Evaluate(surname_Comm) doesn't work
nor does Evaluate(#surname#_Comm)

Makes surnamecomm = to Evaluate(smith_comm) instead of just smith_comm

RE: Efficient Logging Application
Jim I do the following to keep track of hits, monthly to my web pages: I have a table to hold the current monthly web pages info and an identical historical table. I call a tag that checks to see if the page is already in the table if not it creates a record with hits=1 I also maintain a session.pageshit. This is an array of pages that the current user has viewed, so if a user visits a page more than once in a visit, its only counted once. On the first of the month I have a scheduled task (cfm page) that transfers the month just ending information into a historical table and then cleans the current table to start over for the new month. Just one way, hope it helps with ideas Rodney -Original Message- From: Jim McAtee [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, January 02, 2002 11:34 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Efficient Logging Application I need to log views of dynamically generated pages in a MySQL database. We're just going to be logging on a monthly basis, so this means that each page will have one log record per month. A couple of ideas we're kicking around: 1. Every time a page is accessed on the site, we'll call a CF tag that will: Look to see if a log record exists for the page If it does increment the 'views' column else create a new record, with views=1 Since the record creation is only done on a monthly basis, this means that the vast majority of tag calls will simply do an update, yet must still do two queries, the first to see if the record exists. 2. Create all of the log records before-hand, on the first of each month. Biggest problem with that is that new items are constantly being added to the database, so new pages are possible. Since items are pulled from a couple dozen tables, with a couple dozen distinct maintenance applications, we'd need to modify those applications to add log records as new records are created. That's a lot of work. 3. Instead of updating a monthly log record directly, we thought we might just do an insert into a table of a new record for every single page view. At the end of the day, all the daily records would then be 'rolled' into the monthly logs. This way, no SELECT query is necessary. Not too sure of the relative efficiency, however, of an INSERT every time versus a SELECT, then an UPDATE. Any ideas or insights would be appreciated.

Actually, it was working fine until we upgraded to CF 5.0 and moved to a new server. Only the ColdFusion templates are crawling, with even the simplest cfm templates taking 70 seconds or longer to load. I think my adjusting the CFIDE settings has only made it worse. Incidentally, vanilla html pages come up lightning fast. CF Verson: CF 5 Enterprise, Web Server: Win 2K Sp2, two Intel 550 mHz processors, 1 G Ram. Relevant Server settings: Limit Simultaneous Requests to: I've tried 5, 10, and 20. Template Cache Size: 5 KB (up from 1024 - and no real changes - may have made things worse) Cached Queries : 200 Limit cached database connection inactive time to 3 minutes ( I JUST changed this from 30) Maintain DB Connections: UN checked (cleared) All other settings I believe are set as default. Pages which, according to my debug settings, take a dozen or so *milli* seconds to process, take over 45 seconds for me to see in the browser. Our development server is having no problem. It too has CF 5 and, for the most part, identical settings. Our old production server is also having no problem. It is running CF 4.5. We're going primarily against DB2, but also have a few several smaller Access databases. It doesn't seem to matter which db is being hit; if it is *.cfm, it's slow. Our server.log (shown below) indicates that 10 queries took 38 seconds or longer to process in a 7 second time span. I take this to mean that every cfm template is crawling The server experiences about 4000-5000 user sessions daily. DB2 is being accessed via ODBC, but people accessing db2 via ODBC in MS Access are pulling up the same queries very quickly. Is there anything I can do, or should at least try, to speed things up? We also just moved the server behind a firewall and through a pix, but I'm told by networking that this is not a factor. Any help is greatly appreciated. Here's the server.log file sample.

OT: Exporting an Access report
Hello everyone I know this is OT, but I am using CF on the web site ;o} But the powers that be want to gather information from a web site into an ACCESS db and then use ACCESS to create the reports(no problems so far). Now they want the reports to be able to be reviewed using MS Word. After playing around some I can only find out how to export to Excel and then all the formatting is lost as well as the report headers and footers. Is there a way to export ACCESS reports with out losing all the formatting? My guess is that they want this so that the reports can be emailed around while reviewing and some don't have access to ACCESS. Thanks for any help, Rodney ~~ Your ad could be here.

Even if it works when you only have one item per day per person it can't possibly work for multiple items on a day. delete from tbl_person a where date_entered not in ( select top 12 datentered from tbl_person b where b.person_id=a.person_id order by dateentered desc ) - Original Message - From: "Bruce, Rodney (Contractor)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, December 06, 2001 3:46 PM Subject: RE: SQL delete help > I think I see were you are going. > But I didn't give enough information I think. > > the table looks something like this: > > userid item1 item2 dateentered > 11121/1/00 > 11341/2/00 > 11671/3/00 > 12351/5/00 > <--and so forth---> > So if user 11 has 15 records I want to delete 3 of them (oldest) > but if I understand your query correctly, it would delete all but 12 users > from the table?? > I might have 50 user with any number of records each. > > Does this help or just thicken the mud :o? > > Thanks, > Rodney > > -Original Message- > From: Don Vawter [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, December 06, 2001 3:34 PM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: Re: SQL delete help > > > delete from tbl_person > where person_id not in ( > select top 12 person_id from tbl_person > order by dateentered desc > ) > > or something like that.

RE: SQL delete help
I think I see were you are going. But I didn't give enough information I think. the table looks something like this: userid item1 item2 dateentered 11121/1/00 11341/2/00 11671/3/00 12351/5/00 <--and so forth---> So if user 11 has 15 records I want to delete 3 of them (oldest) but if I understand your query correctly, it would delete all but 12 users from the table?? I might have 50 user with any number of records each. Does this help or just thicken the mud :o?

OT: SQL delete help
Is there a way to delete a number of records in one SQL statement? i.e. I want to maintain a history of 12 records per user. Once a month when I run my scheduled tasks I would like to delete the oldest records over the 12. Deleting the oldest record isn't a problem. but if I need to delete 4 records how would I do this with out looping over the query 4 times? using CF5/NT4.0/SQL7.0 Thanks Rodney ~~ Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists

Does anyone know how to work around this with out having to drop all the vars into session.vars? thanks for any help Rodney ~~ Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
RE: Dynamic form fields
Thanks for all the suggestions.
unfortunately I am not at my development server so can't test.
but I am going to change the code to look like this.
If you see anything that will not work please let me know.
On the form:
get ids
On the action page:
get ids
form["name_#getids.id#"]
again thanks for the help.

Subject: RE: Dynamic form fields
First off, I don't know if CF willbe happy with form fields named with
that syntax. I know PHP uses that syntax, but I can't promise it will
work in CF... but... try it. :)
Secondly, please, please, please do _not_ use Evaluate to get dynamic
form fields. Remember that form fields are stored in a structure. You
can rewrite
#evaluate('form.name[#getids.id#]')#
as:
Form["name[#getids.ids#]"]
Not only will the code be quicker, it will also be much easier to read.
