Can't you map the datasource using its IP address? I don't know of any way
to map the SQL Server db the way you wish to, which sounds like you are
trying to treat it as a file based database like Access. Choose the SQL
Server driver, in the connection
box use a host of .xxx.xxx.xxx or the ip name, and then in the advanced
properties set the db and username/password.

In character mode or in X? I find that (obviously) Linux is much faster

I usually run my desktop machine under X (usually GNOME). I use
Staroffice,
  Netscape xnews etc and it is much faster than a higher spec NT box with
 the same memory (128Mb) and a larger processor.

Interesting... definitely completely the opposite of my experiences. Star
Office was very buggy and I have yet to see a decent web browser in X. But
I love Linux for other reasons, and use it all the time. Just not with X.
Maybe I'll give it another go sometime.

 I have been involved in testing a linux box running mySql  Oracle on a
 linux box and its performance is faster than NT - sometimes by a small
 amount - sometimes more.

mySql is definitely faster on Linux.

Erm, I have never come across a situation where you would need to run X on
  linux whilst the web server is running.  Maybe you need X to install
some
 things, but after that it's strictly command line.  Why waste resources
 on a GUI when you don't need it?

That wasn't the question. The poster made a statement that news reading,
web browsing, word processing, etc were faster on Linux. I replied that it
might be faster in character mode apps, but not with X (in my experience).

Has nothing to do with the web server. I don't use X at all anymore,
myself.

That seems like a pretty ANTI-Linux post.
 
I'm NOT anti-linux. I have a number of linux boxes on both intel and ppc. I
LIKE it. In my experience, though, Windows 2000 on the same hardware with
the apps I like is faster in operation than the equivalent X applications
that I have tried. Others I know have come to the same conclusion. The
answer for me was not to dump Linux, but to dump X. Plus, since most of my
linux boxes are servers of one kind or another, it is just a waste of disk
space to have it and a waste of resources to run it, since I can get it all
done from the CLI.

 If you configure X properly, try Xfree 4.01, it
 really runs fast. Just by nature it will
 never be as fast as a GUI done somewhat in
 Kernel (thats a whole another story about
 Windows and im not gonna get into it)

Fair enough.

 That is where the true power of X lies,
 in that you can invoke an X program over
 the net if you had too. 

Sure. I know that. The point that was raised was about common office
applications being faster in X. There is much utility to running an app
remotely, though again I prefer just to use the character apps for that. 

 so it may not
 be as fast as Windows

Which is all I was saying. It has nothing to do with being anti-Linux. I
am, in fact, quite the opposite.

 But you can get the best of both worlds.
 
 Don't run an X-Windows SERVER on your web server. DO use an X-Windows
 server on your desktop machine and run GUI Linux programs displaying on
 your desktop.  Remember, unlike Windows, the server and client in
 X-windows are completely separate apps and can be run on different
 machines.  
 

I don't know how many times I have to repeat myself to get some people to

A summary to help others. My question was, given a table like this:

 userid, course

How to get the user that has taken the most courses and another query to
see which course was taken the most.

Three good answers:

Mark Warrick says to normalize the data. I agree, but in this case it isn't
within my control.

Two different SQL queries (you can see how to modify them to answer the
second question):

- From David Hayes:
select top 1 userID, count(course) from 
group by userid
order by 2 desc 

- From Joe Celko, courtesy of David Shadovitz:
SELECT userid
FROM mytable
GROUP BY userid
HAVING COUNT(*) +1  ALL (SELECT DISTINCT COUNT(*) FROM mytable GROUP BY
userid)

Joe C's way doesn't seem as flexible as David's (to my inexperienced eyes).
Is TOP not Ansi SQL?

Security issues

2000-10-07 Thread Chris Lott

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

I understand how to handle login security in an application... but do any
of you have tips on handling variable levels of security? Up until now I
have always had my normal app for users and then a subsection of that app
(say /admin/) where admins would go to do their thing.

It seems inefficient, but also almost inescapable without turning my neat
code into spaghetti as I am variably displaying/including based on whether
they have admin privileges or not. I can't imagine what it will be like
with three or more levels of user to account for!

I've seen many discussions on cf lists about how to define different levels
of user and what their privileges are, but not much on what to do with
those definitions in the app. Every way I can conceive seems much painful
than it should be. Or is that just the way it is?

Re: Security issues

2000-10-07 Thread Chris Lott

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

 I do it like this...

Thanks... I was thinking more along the lines of what happens on the pages
themselves. For instance, let's say I have an application that lists jobs
waiting to be done. Normal users can list the jobs and edit/delete their
own, while admin users can edit/delete anyone's. 

Would you optionally include a delete link if the current user is an admin
on that page? Or would the admin user be sent to a different job listing
page altogether?

Of course this is simplistic... when you have three or many levels of
access and a number of functions specific to various groups all on the same
page, the amount of conditional processing can become pretty large. But if
I split the application out so that admins go to an admin job listing, job
editors go to an editor listing and users go to their own listing, I have
an enormous amount of code duplication to contain...

There are definitely some interface issues I would like to see cleared

All of the other things being mentioned: unusable deployment, projects

Re: how to nest queries

You could use a tag like threeselects_related that allows one to
populate select boxes in sequence based on previous selections... 

Or you could have a page to choose the client, which would go to a
page presenting that client's projects, which then links to a page
that queries for that projects tasks.

I'm sure there is some javascript/structures/etc trick to do this all
on the same page, but I typically do it on a series of pages or on
frames...

SQL Server performance with CF

2000-09-25 Thread Chris Lott

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Are there ways to optimize the connection between a CF server and an
SQL Server machine? We've just plugged them both into the network
(they are side by side in the same server rooom) and ran, but I
wondered if there were ways to optimize the travel of data back and
forth between the machines themselves, or if this shouldn't be of
concern.

Not being a nethead, it seems strange to me that the signal has to
get all routed around when the machines are physically only a few
feet apart...

http://www.greatgames.co.uk/index.cfm/fuseaction/ACTION
  
 index.cfm is an directory ? how can i do that ?
 I use a fuseaction like a URL paramater not like a directory.

No, you code the way you normall would. The formURL2attributes tag
just converts everything after the index.cfm to the appropriate
variables.

So in your code where you normally write
http://foo.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=runaway

You would make the link
http://foo.com/index.cfm/fuseaction/runaway

(you can even add a .htm on the end if you want)

The formurl2attributes tag converts the /fuseaction/runaway to the
appropriate attributes.fuseaction = runaway

(Since it sounds like you are using Fusebox, then you are probably
using that tag. If you are NOT, then you can write a function
yourself to parse the cgi.query_string variable, which is where the
extra information gets stored.

We have the same problem thanks to fusebox thing.
  I realize some spider doesn`t index de index.cfm page again, no matter
 what fuseaction the url have, always is the same page: index.cfm.
 we had to use directories with redirection and precalculated pages but
 we dont know if this may work. :)

If you are using Fusebox and formURL2attributes, then you can change
this:

index.cfm?fuseaction=foomyvar=bar

with this:

index.cfm/fuseaction/foo/myvar/bar.htm

and it will work the same (if you are using Apache, you have to have the
latest Service Pack). Works like a champ and the search engines seem to
pick it up fine.

If you aren't using formURL2attributes you can write something to parse
the cgi.query_string variable and do it yourself, since that is what the
tag does...

OE is much better than Netscape if you have different mailboxes which
you want to send mail from using different from lines/sigs and you don't
want to have to keep leaving the program and coming back in under a new
profile, etc. OE's filtering is somewhat more capable in terms of
options, though none of them hold a candle to procmail :)

I've also found OE to be less crash prone and better with REALLY large
mailboxes. Your mileage may vary. OE is also quite nice if you do
strange things like dump your mailboxes to SQL servers and such. Less
steps involved.

It is undeniably better when it comes to handling IMAP and large volumes
on IMAP.

Use what you like, forget what you don't. That's my motto!

However, it, like fusebox takes a lot longer to do.
 
Can't we all just get along? Everyone should write however they want to.
Some of us actually find Fusebox much quicker to develop in. Others
don't. That will never change.

I'd personally prefer to see more discussion about different
methodologies, which might help all of us. Many allude to their own
methods, but concrete explanations are often missing. I've tried, and
failed, to make sense of CFobjects, for example. \

These discussions occur not because there is any single best way to
code, but because CF's ease of use has allowed a lot of people who are
not programmers by profession (or nature :) to get into web application
development, and many of us don't have the skills to create a method of
our own. I personally NEED some direction to make better code and look
for the gurus on these lists to help!

For one the more traditional development method

I've really tried to understand the CFOBJECTS method, but could never

I don't think it would change the way CF was viewed, or revolutionize

Actually it turns me off for specifically because it does use this

Many of us are always looking for new, better ways to do things. I'd

A book written on CF using Fusebox as the
  methodology only serves one camp, while the rest of us would be
 only annoyed by having to try and use the examples in our own
 devlopment implementation. Seems better to write books on how CF
 works and how it can be used rather than making the examples
 limited to Fusebox.

Whether Fusebox or not, ANY good new CF books are worthwhile. We are
all using the same tool, heading towards similar places. I welcome
any and all attempts in any methodology to help CF users work more
efficiently, engage team building efforts, etc. A book using Fusebox
methodology serves a particular audience. We need more books serving
particular audience, fusebox and non-fusebox alike. 

In fact, if there is anything we DON'T need, it is more rewrites of
the same CF book over and over :) There are lots of gaps left to be
filled.

I would have crippled as a
  programmer when I moved from a Fusebox to a non-Fusebox
 environment.  Never mind, I probably wouldn't have gotten the
 "non-Fusebox" job to begin with because my programming skills would
 have reflected the
 resulting gaps in my knowledge.

Interesting. I didn't start with Fusebox, nor do I use it all the
time. But I would surmise that using Fusebox gives one the same grasp
of skills as not. Non-structured (NOT non-fusebox) code might be
harder to follow in general, but I am having a hard time imagining
what skills it is you think people who start with a method like
fusebox are missing. After all, outside of the structure of the files
and the way they are called, the language is the same. I don't see
that fuseboxers would be at an advantage, just that I don't see how
they would be disadvantaged.

Unless the suffering of having to deal with spaghetti code just makes
you generally stronger :)

Thanks for the advice. I am working on a completely db driven

that it has helped me in many ways (being the disorganized kind of

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

My new site is related to this thread, so I would like to hear
suggestions about the following issues. The site is largely dedicated
to serving out a selection of poems, essays, stories, etc. I am
trying to bridge the gap between relatively easy contributions and
adequate performance when serving the file (aren't we all?).

1) Should I store the text with HTML formatting? Most of the items
will have formatting needs (bold, italic, explicit line breaks, and
of course paragraph breaks) and short of some kind of custom
shorthand, HTML seems like the best way.

2) How should I deal with the input and splitting of longer stories:
should the user submit the html/text file and then I will have CF
split the file into different database entries using some algorithm
for a word count and then split at the nearest sentence or paragraph
break or ??

3) Could someone explain how I might create tables to handle the
split text? Should I just have a single table with 
title, partnum, text  and then when displaying check if there is more
than one partnum, or should I have a couple of tables?

I'm starting to wonder if I should do this with a db-driven site at
all :) But I've already been tied to doing a CF site with Fusebox,
though the methodology is largely irrelevant.

I have two tables:

I want to select all of the stories and display a list grouped by
genre, like this:

genre2
one
another

I can select everything with this query:

SELECT stories.sid, stories.title, stories.createdate, genres.genre
from stories
left join genres on stories.gid = genres.gid
order by genre ASC, createdate DESC

But how can I group the display? Do I have to do something completely
different, like loop over each entry in the genre table, doing a
separate query for entries that match? That seems pretty
inefficient...

Re: Upload and retrieval of stories?

Thanks for the tips. I'm still leaning towards some way of splitting
the content because I want to increase readability on the site for
longer pieces by breaking the stories up in to "pages", ala Salon
magazine or the like. Primarily because the site is designed for
online reading...

I will also provide a single page download for printing/reading
offline/reading that combines the pages, but for reading online I
would LIKE to try to find some middle ground between providing just
an intro and the whole text. 

Of course, maybe I shouldn't be bothering with that approach, but as
an online reader I know *I* appreciate stories that are "chunked"

Re: Simple locking question

2000-09-15 Thread Chris Lott

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

I read the Allaire article on locking and am now using locks when
working with session variables. Now I am wondering if I should be using
session variables at all?

In my app, the user logs in and at that time I put a bunch of
information about them (email, username, customerid, firstname,
lastname, etc) into session variables (using Application.cfm), which I
then access all over the place to prefill form fields, do db inserts,
etc.

Of course, I have to put locks around every use of the session
variables, often multiple locks on the same page.

Is this the right way to approach this? Should I use some other scope or
method?

Re: Simple locking question

2000-09-15 Thread Chris Lott

 Personally I use Client variables located in a database exclusively. That
 way my application can easily made to be cluster aware and the database
 takes care of the locking.

So at an abstract level, how does that work? Currently I just assign the
needed information to session variables and access them at all times. If I
store them in a database do I have to keep track of the user across all the
pages manually?

Basically there is just a suite of drivers you need to install and,
depending on which you need, a best order to install them. Worked like a

Filemaker 5's ODBC is still a bit buggy, but seems to work. The big
problem I have with Filemaker is stability. Accessing it with ODBC
cripples it pretty quickly with any kind of load. For that matter, so
does accessing it using Web Companion, but that has always been that
way. I definitely DON'T recommend relying on a Filemaker DB for
anything serious, at least not for use with CF or any other

portable logon scheme

2000-08-20 Thread Chris Lott

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Is there some way to use Application.cfm and session management to
create a security system that will work with multiple subdirectories
and be portable to wherever the application is moved?

For instance, right now in my Application.cfm I check for a variable 
"session.loggedin" and if it is not there, I route the user to a
login page. Here is where the first problem occurs. If my application
is installed on a different server the absolute location in the
cflocation (/foo/bar/login.cfm) won't work, and if I don't specify an
absolute path (login.cfm) then it fails when the user is in a
subdirectory.

Second, I would like to keep track of the page the user was
attempting to get to and, once they have logged in, take them there
instead of to the default page they get routed to if they head right
to the main login first... does that make sense?

Question using structures...

2000-08-20 Thread Chris Lott

I'm building my first shopping cart type app, using the webmonkey
tutorial
(http://hotwired.lycos.com/webmonkey/99/49/index4a.html?tw=programming
), and have a question about the code below. My question is, doesn't
storing the items in the cart keyed to the name lead to a problem if
items have the same name? Wouldn't using an ID, which is presumably
unique be better? Or am I misunderstanding the way structures work?:

cfscript
   if (not(isdefined("session.cart"))) {session.cart = structnew(); }

   // The item structure we are going to use to store the items in
the cart
   // is going to have four parts...
   //   1.  The item id
   //   2.  The item name
   //   3.  The price per unit
   //   4.  The quantity

   tempvalue =
listtoarray('#attributes.id#,#attributes.name#,#attributes.price#,#att
ributes.quantity#');

   // if the item is not yet in the cart, simply add it to the cart
   if (not(structKeyExists(session.cart, attributes.name))) {
StructInsert(session.cart,attributes.name,tempvalue);
   }

   // if the item is already in the cart, update the item quantity
   else {
   
tempvalue[4]=session.cart[attributes.name][4]+attributes.quantity;
StructUpdate(session.cart,attributes.name,tempvalue);
   }

Were you are getting confused is because it uses session variables,
  session variables are tied to that browser connected at that time
 and is unique:-)  
 
 Refer to session, client, cookies for more information on this:-)

I think I get that. What I am asking about is, specifically, this
section:

   if (not(structKeyExists(session.cart, attributes.name))) {
StructInsert(session.cart,attributes.name,tempvalue);
   }

where it checks if the item is already in the cart by looking for the
key attributes.name -- doesn't this mean they couldn't carry two
items with the same name? Is this just an oversight when the cart
should be using attributes.id instead?

Re: What happened to this list?

 Recently I posted a question I had to the list
 and no one responded. Not a big deal, everyone
 has a life. Today the owner of the company I
 work at brought me a copy of an email he
 recieved from someone on this list... it
 basically said that the programmer he had hired
 was unable to accomplish a minor task like the
 one I mentioned, and he had, out of the goodness
 of his heart, searched out the company to offer
 his skills

Wow, that's pretty harsh. I've been approached backchannel by people on
other lists who, having been lost in the sea of cf-talk, have written me
directly for advice since they associate me with CF evangelism :). In a
recent instance someone asked for help to do something in CF that a
developer had declared to be "impossible in CF" and then demanded that they
switch to ASP. I tried to be objective, explained how it could be done, and
indicated that their current developer needed to do a little more studying
about CF before dumping it. I even worried about saying THAT, since it could
have been misconstrued.

megabytes is just too much in my opinion... that's as much as all the other

Re: WebHosting

2000-04-14 Thread Chris Lott

I've had a couple of small domains with Halfprice hosting for a while. The
response time for tech support as of late has not been great, but nothing
like the three months someone else was experiencing. It took a day to get
SQL Server accounts setup. Speed has been adequate, though nothing special.

They do have cffile and cfregistry disabled (and cfcontent, I understand).
I've mentioned to them the possibility of using the CFX versions of cffile
and cfcontent, which will allow for protection for them, and they are
checking into them now. Perhaps that will help.

At this point for my own site I'm using them because I have a good deal:
once you have one domain you get all the rest at half price. If I could find
someone who would give me cffile, 500 megs, a few pop accounts and SQL
Server access for $25 per month, I'd be there! But I'm not about to pay
anymore for hosting a site that has a small personal site and my class
materials for teaching...

Re: Fusebox or not Fusebox that is the question...

2000-04-13 Thread Chris Lott

 Can't all of that be done by establishing standards for a project or all
 projects.  Why does it have to be Fusebox?  I have been looking at Fusebox
 and I guess that I am a bit confused as to what it is and why I should use
 it over some other set of standards?

Which other set?

In addition to that, the more people using a standard the more likely it is
to be helpful across development efforts. OF course, any standard will work
to help achieve the same ends as fusebox within a particular development
effort, project, or company. But the real strength of finding some common
standard (and if something about it doesn't work for you, explain what it is
and get something in the spec that will!) is when you start moving apps
between developers, companies, etc. A fusebox app will easily plug into
another fusebox app without many problems. Another methodology may achieve
everything else, but when you decide to plug your calendar into John's
client management app, the fact that you both used your own internal
methodology won't matter a whit.

Which isn't to say that Fusebox is perfect, but it is actively evolving, has
a good recognition in the community, etc. If you can use it, why not? If you
can't, is it something that could be worked into the spec?

And if the anwer to that last question is NO, then no harm, no foul, right?
It's certainly something worth considering...

Re: Fusebox or not Fusebox that is the question...

2000-04-13 Thread Chris Lott

 Only if you want to dictate how the world codes...
 A methodology should fit the design standards and goals of a team/company
 only.

The bottom line here is that if Fusebox can be used, if it fits the needs
for a project, then why not use it when it is the one standard that has some
baseline of acceptance? This can only open the doors for further
extensibility. If the method doesn't fit, then don't use it. But the fact
that finding an agreed upon standard allows for more transfer between
developers is certainly not a bad or bigoted thing, nor does it dictate that
the world should code that way. On the other hand, if doing so will open
doors for using the code elsewhere more readily, why not?

If fusebox doesn't fit the need, don't use it! Or participate and help shape
it to make it fit the need. Or use something in-house and reap the benefits.
You just won't have the benefits of those apps easily plugging in with those
using another internal methodology. Many of us like the idea that our apps
will be more immediately understood and, more importantly, more reusable by
choosing a coding method that has some number of users already.

For those who are programming without any method, I'd definitely
recommending either finding one or creating one. If one would like to be
able to plug apps together, then fusebox represents one readily available
standard that at least helps to that end. If compatibility with others isn't
an issue, then why worry about it.

The fact that each job has a different standard does not necessarily have to
be the way. Companies might choose that route, but there is no reason that
they MUST, as you imply. It could certainly be argued that choosing a
mainstream methodology can be of great value to a company.

stupid cfx tag question

2000-04-07 Thread Chris Lott

If I need to use a CFX tag on a site hosted by a remote CF ISP, is the only
way to use such a tag to have it registered directly in the administrator?
Is there any other way to use them? (ie, if they say "we don't do custom
tags for you" then am I outta luck?)

 If they won't install it, you're outta luck.

I had a feeling that was the case. So the second question is, how can I
convince an ISP that a CFX tag, like CFX_checkemail is safe? Is there good
reason for their reluctance?

Re: Is HomeSite Soon To Be History?

2000-04-06 Thread Chris Lott

The fact is that as technology progresses, some things that it was important
to do by hand become less so. Using SQL Server is a good example of this. A
good admin needs to know more than the new wizards in SQL server 7, but that
doesn't mean that the wizards are all bad, are necessarily inferior, or even
that there is a compelling reason to know how to do by hand what some of the
wizards do. If they do the job properly, that's what matters. You simply
bypass those that don't. And THAT is the key!

Similarly with visual editors. I still use Studio for the most part, but I
sometimes use Dreamweaver. There are many operations that are just much
faster with a visual editor and if you know what you are doing, then you
don't have to worry about bad code because you won't be making it (unlike
Frontpage where you can't stop it). Take tables: it is much faster to move
columns around and generally manipulate tables in DW than in Studio, so I
often pop in there to do it. I have no idea what a previous poster was
talking about: DW never inserts lots of empty rows or anything else.
Fireworks creates shim rows when it outputs HTML tables to split graphics,
but I've never had DW do that.

On the other hand, outside of particular things that I find quicker to pop
into DW to do, I still code by hand using Studio or TextPad. Knee-jerk
ignorance of the tools will no more benefit a developer than knee-jerk
acceptance. They have to be evaluated and used properly if they are used at
all. But I guarantee that there are many operations which, by dropping into
a good visual editor, I will complete faster and with equal quality, than
anyone using a text-based editor-- and no one on the receiving end will ever
know which is which. As long as that is the case, it's a good thing.

Re: CFStudio

2000-04-03 Thread Chris Lott

I have a similar problem with Studio 4.0.1 -- at home on my laptop (win 98)
when I swtich directories the file list below pops right up. At work on a
much more powerful system running SCSI drives (NT) it takes much longer,
displaying the "Accessing..." message below. It is the same when accessing
all the help documentation. It's not quite ten seconds, though it can be
close. I just chalked it up to an NTFS thing and never worried about it, but
it definitely is there...

Re: Objective and/or subjective reviews of MySQL, MS SQL Server and other SQL products...

2000-03-24 Thread Chris Lott

In my experience, MySQL has been a great server... very fast, very stable.
However, it is missing functions that many rely on with when using MS SQL,
etc. To be fair, the MySQL developers are very up front about what is
missing and when each feature might be implemented, they are very responsive
for support and requests, and there is a lot of user support for MySQL that
rivals anybody.

Except for dabbling, all of my experience has been with MySQL running on
Linux flavors.

If you need what they've got, I'd go with it anytime. If you need the
missing features, it just won't work... Check out their online docs and info
for details.

 Probably a typo but actually its the opposite:

 listfind('4,13,43', "1") returns 0 (false) and listcontains('4,13,43',
"1")
 returns 2 (true)

Yep, I mixed it up. The above is correct!
