Subject: SQL Server Enterprise Manager alternatives?

Hi all,

I know this has come up in the past, and I was wondering if anyone had found
anything to replace SQL Server's Enterprise Manager? I have a client on
crappy shared hosting, and their SQL Server machine has about half a million
databases on it (exaggeration). Enterprise Manager hangs/timesout trying to
get a list of everything on the server. I need to add some tables and I
would really like to avoid doing it the hard/manual way.

Thanks,
Kay.

RE: setting sql isolation levels within cfquery

If in doubt, you can use lock hints instead:

SELECT * FROM mytable (nolock) 

UPDATE mytable WITH (rowlock) set field = value

Etc...  In cfquery blocks it may be safer than isolation level statements...

  When setting the an isolation level on a transaction within a

  page seems a bit contradictory on the subject.
 
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/tsqlref/ts_

  If so, should I just reset the isolation level to REPEATABLE READ at
  the end of the query? Any potential downsides to this?

cfquery datasource=#this.dsn# name=nextEst
SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL SERIALIZABLE
BEGIN TRANSACTION
SELECT * FROM ...
COMMIT TRANSACTION
SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL REPEATABLE READ
/cfquery

The thing I want to avoid is having a connection in the connection pool
stuck on SERIALIZABLE...

Majordomo archives

2003-07-28 Thread Costas Piliotis
I haven't got a clue where to begin on this.  A client of mine wants to get
a mailing list going, and we're leaning towards Majordomo or Listserv.
Problem is that I don't know what the heck the archives look like.  He was
intersted in mhonarc to parse the archives, but that looks to be more
trouble than just building a cf engine to do it (that, and I'm paid by the
hour...)

I haven't the knowledge to do this myself...  I know it'll be just text
files, but what do the look like, and where on the server do I find them?

Thanks eh!

Easiest thing to do is not use MS Access...  Your GAL should be accessible
through LDAP.  Consider using CFLDAP to access instead.  Added bonus is that
you don't have to use two layers...Check with your exchange admin about
using LDAP to access the GAL.

Hey Eric,

It's not SQL it's more for PERL and Regular Expressions. I am not too
familiar with regular expressions in ColdFusion but I'm sure that they are
no RegEx in SQL. Another thing what could do it would be kdb from KX Systems
but again you need to learn k. 

If you can drop me the csv file (please not more than 3 mb). I can have a
look.

Here is the challenge.

Have a table with a column called NAME and the column contains both
names of businesses and individuals. Business names are stored as is , 
example ABC Company. Individuals are stored as last name first name 
middle initial, example Public John Q. I need to get this information 
into another table where the biz name can be stored in the first name 
field no problem but I need to parse and individuals name so I can put 
the individual's first name in the first name column and their last 
name in the last name column. 

Figure it out and I will send you a prize.

With Visio Enterprise, you can create ER diagrams and forward-engineer 
database tables with all their relationships defined.  Regular Visio 
will only reverse-engineer Access and SQL-Server databases, but that can 
be a big help if you need a graphical representation.  I'm not sure if 
you can just bolt onto anything through ODBC, though.  I haven't really 
dug into it that much.

When you signup for Microsoft's partner program you get VISIO and a

variables which behave like temprary tables but are stored in memory, which
further makes them behave more like normal arrays.

RE: Homesite + question

2003-06-26 Thread Costas Piliotis
There's plenty of information on this in the past...  Forta has been quite
vocal on that subject...

Per Forta, MM depracated cf studio because they figured there's no point in
maintaining three web development IDE's.

I recon that MM actually felt that two was too many, although their user
bases differ. Those of us with a gig of ram and a P4 3 ghz may actually
PREFER DWMX...  Those of us who hate waiting for an application that's a
resource pig to load just to edit a text file feel it's overkill for what we
need.  

Here's an interesting fact.  I was comparing CF and PHP a while ago, and
came across some threads.  Most attributed the success of a cf developer to
the excellent IDE that cf developers had.  Now that was an uneducated
opinion, but still holds some merrit.  And now MM phases out the IDE that
really made most of us like cf in the first place.

MM claims they listen to developers.  Lol yeah right.

I've been pretty vocal in various forums about my disappoinment of losing CF
Studio.  And yes, I've been using HS+ and been fairly happy with it.  I
guess I just have this uncomfortable feeling whenever I use it that it's
just meant to be there and available to us 'coders' during this transitional
period.

I don't begrudge MM marketing DWMX, or anybody who wants to use it.  But the
lack of publicity behind Homesite+ (i mean c'mon...it's not at all a widely
known fact that it's included on the DWMX cd) makes it seem that it's not a
product that MM is really 'behind'.

RE: Passing session from .aspx to .cfm and back

2003-06-23 Thread Costas Piliotis
Sorry to jump into this thread a bit late, but why not use client variables
in cfmx, store them in a database, and write a .net object or function or
whatever that parses those variables out into asp.not variables...  And
write another one to pass them back...   Just use cdata / cglobal tables.

And then when you transfer the session back to cf, add the cfid / cftoken
attributes and the session will continue on I recon...

Anyone want to correct me on this?

 That's how it is.
 
 Anyway ...   are Basic Authentication and Digest Authentication the
 terms the .aspx programmer will know it by?

He should know the terms, they are straight from the RFC on HTTP 
authentication (2617).


 And to hand back to the .aspx site a user who's still showing as 
 authenticated, all I have to do is use cfheader to include whatever
headers
 were included with the .aspx page that the user came over with.   Is that
 right?

The idea is that after being initially challenged the browser will 
automatically include credentials with every request to documents on the 
same level or lower in the directory structure of the site. If you use 
Digest authentication, you can even designate other sites (by name) that 
should be authenticated with the same credentials. So you don't start a 
session on both the .aspx and the .cfm side when the user logs in, you 
just start it on one side. And whenever the user hits a page in the 
other language, credentials are included so you can start a session on 
that moment.
cflogin can work automatically with HTTP authentication.

RE: CF or .net?

2003-06-20 Thread Costas Piliotis
In general, .net provides you with a whole new way of thinking about writing
web apps.  Lots of xml integration, very object oriented, tonnes of
different language support: C#, vb.net, delhpi, etc etc...  Forget
everything you learned about writing a web app in ColdFusion.  Dot Net is a
whole new game.  It's more like writing a VB app than a web app really.
You have to think in terms of UML, object creation, components, and the
like, rather than spaghetti code like in ASP, PHP, or CF.  In fact, dot net
tries to seperacte code from presentation.  They have this feature called
code-behind where all your code is in a separate vb file.

CFML is more like spaghetti code, it's just nicer looking and easier for the
naked eye to read.  CF has better platform support.  It'll run in Window$ or
Linux, or a bunch of *nix flavours or on OSX server...  With bluedragon,
it'll run on any J2EE compliant platform like Websphere, BEA Weblogic, etc.


Both platforms pre-compile.  Performance differences are neglidgable really.
The biggest performance drain on any web app is the database time anyway.
We're talking about milliseconds of differences between the platforms.

There's some drawbacks to dot net.  Things that took a few minutes in cf are
a royal pain in dot net.  For example.  Let's say you are using the data
grid object to output a recordset, and you wanted to add category headings
so that you'd have output like this:

Group1
Field 1 Field2  Field3
Field 1 Field2  Field3
Field 1 Field2  Field3
Group 2
Field 1 Field2  Field3
Field 1 Field2  Field3
Field 1 Field2  Field3

In asp.net, this is a royal pain.  Took us a few months before we found out
how, and it wasn't pretty.  You can do this in a few minutes in cfmx using
the cfoutput group =... tag.

CFMX is great for Rapid Development.  Sometimes, time to market is crucial
to the success of a web app.  Ebay is one of the many countless examples of
first-past-the-post theory.  How many other auction sites were out there
that failed?

However, if programming in an n-tier enviroment, COM / CORBA integration is
important to your app, then CFMX can get tricky.  COM support in ColdFusion
has always blown goats.  It just doesn't work well for anything complicated.
Too many things you can't do.  You have to get into writing cfx tags if you
want that kind of support.  

If you bill by the hour, dot net is the platform you want.  You'll get paid
for a much longer project than with a CFMX project :)

RE: session variables vs client variables

2003-06-19 Thread Costas Piliotis
Been there.  You'll benefit from all my pains here:

In a nutshell, Crystal uses simple cookies instead of fancy cookies.  Every
report parameter is stored as a cookie.  Real stupid setup if you ask me.

There's a browser limitation on how many cookies a single site is allowed to
set.  There's some good reasons for this.

What you really should do is run reports from a separate domain, and keep
the cookies separate.  Alternatively, you'll need a method to recover the
cfid and cftoken from time to time when crystal decides to eat up resources.


Good luck.

We're having a problem with sessions being dropped while viewing crystal
reports.  Crystal sets a cookie for each parameter passed to a report and
drops whatever existing cookies there are... so users are being logged out
after viewing crystal reports.  I'm thinking about changing all session
variables to client variables and storing them in the database.  I haven't
used client variables before and wanted to make sure first.  Would I just
set it up in cfmx admin and replace all variables scope from session to
client?  Is the timeout mgmt only done thru cfmx admin?  Also... just need
to change how I delete sessions with DeleteClientVariable?  Anything else?

Switching to OLE DB

2003-06-18 Thread Costas Piliotis
Please, help...  Our ColdFusion 5 services have been crashing and restarting
lately, and I've been thinking of converting to OLEDB drivers instead of
ODBC to see if the memory leak is related to the use of ODBC alone.  It's
not much, but it'll help I'm sure.

So naturally, I piced the SQLOLEDB drivers first.  Those are great.  I get
this error: Unknown Data Access Error. every time I try to envoke a stored
procedure.  Pretty uninformative.  I've found little information on this,
and those who had the problem never got an answer...

Fine.  I figured let's try using MSDASQL instead...  Not the best to use an
OLEDB to ODBC bridge, but still, at least it's not just ODBC.  I am
particularly trying to find the source of the memory leaks.  So with
MSDASQL, I get an error message on stored procedures with output variabls:
Miltiple-Step OLE DB operation generated errors.  Check each OLE DB status
value, if available.  No work was done.  

I found this article on that:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;Q269495

Well, the key already exists for MSDASQL, so that kb article does nothing
for me.

I have tried with MDAC 2.6 and MDAC 2.7...

Any thoughts on what to do next?

[whoops, newsgroup users, i posted to only the newsgroup the first time]

When I tried OLEDB, I had a couple of problems.

One, a query would fail for some mysterious reason (a connection
problem) one in, maybe 1000 queries, but I could never get it to fail
myself, nor could I nail down why it was happening. I went back to ODBC, and
it never happened again. Someone else confirmed similar problems.

Two, (my memory's foggier on this one) I could not retrieve more than one
text field per query... terribly annoying when  1 were needed.

RE: Storing Credit Card Info

If I'm not mistaken though, you can adhere to those rules by storing the

that you got the transaction.

RE: SQL

2003-06-18 Thread Costas Piliotis
Hmm...  Correct me if I'm wrong, but are you your reports using a dirty read
from the database?

By default, sql server locks a record from a select statement.  Not good for
reporting.  If you use appropriate nolock commands in the from clause or SET
TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL READ UNCOMMITTED you shouldn't slow the
application down one bit.  Force a dirty read.  

But I like Dave's suggestion the best...  Copy it of replicate it to another
server and run reports off of that...  That's what we do for some of the
more intense reports...

Exactly.

Basically if people try to generate reports off of the data, the app slows

 If I understand your question correctly you have some large datasets 
 that is in regular use (transactional as in OLTP), but that is also 
 used for reporting and analysis. And since the reporting takes quite a 
 large time, you are wondering whether it is worth breaking the rules 
 of normalization to add some summary tables to the schema, probably 
 maintained by triggers, so the analysis is a bit faster.

 Right?

RE: Switching to OLE DB

2003-06-18 Thread Costas Piliotis
Reason I was thinking that was because of the old MDAC memory leak...  We
restart the services at around 3am to circumvent that memory leak.  You
know, the on Microsoft says isn't their fault and Macromedia says it's
Microsoft's fault...

Anyway, I found that the crash I was experiencing also had people saying
it's mdac related...  Definitely not a database issue.  It's been running
great forever.

But anyway, I found the same thing...

You'll find people on both sides of the fence with this one.  In all the
research I've done it looks like ODBC seems to be the better choice.  I've
heard that OLE can be buggier than ODBC and many of the performance
improvements that some people attribute to OLE are just myth.

Anyhow, I HIGHLY doubt that switching will make any difference one way or
another.  Maybe your problem is DB related - maybe not - but it almost
certainly is not related to your choice of ODBC or OLE drivers.

Subject: Pagination (Next n records) for an inner join and grouped output...


I've got an inner join that I'm trying to make work with paging the records
and I *think* I see what the problem is, but I don't know how to proceed...

The inner joins are working correctly. In fact, when I go to output, I
simply group them by property ID, and I get the right number of Properties,
and the right rates for each property...but the pagination is ALL wonky. I'm
using Dreamweaver's Next N results, which is fairly easy to understand, and
normally works great...

Here's my query:
cfif IsDefined(URL.Bedrooms)
cfquery name=getMyListings datasource=#Application.DSN#
SELECT *
FROM (tblRentalLocations INNER JOIN tblRentalProperties ON
tblRentalLocations.LocationID=tblRentalProperties.frn_LocationID)
INNER JOIN tblRentalRates ON
tblRentalProperties.PropertyID=tblRentalRates.frn_PropertyID
cfif URL.Bedrooms NEQ 'ANY'
WHERE tblRentalProperties.PropertyBedrooms = #URL.Bedrooms#
/cfif
ORDER BY tblRentalProperties.PropertyName,
tblRentalRates.RatesOrder, tblRentalRates.RatesLength Desc
/cfquery
/cfif

My Next N code looks like this:
cfset MaxRows_getMyListings=10
cfset
StartRow_getMyListings=Min((PageNum_getMyListings-1)*MaxRows_getMyListings+1
,Max(getMyListings.RecordCount,1))
cfset
EndRow_getMyListings=Min(StartRow_getMyListings+MaxRows_getMyListings-1,getM
yListings.RecordCount)
cfset
TotalPages_getMyListings=Ceiling(getMyListings.RecordCount/MaxRows_getMyList
ings)
cfset QueryString_getMyListings=Iif(CGI.QUERY_STRING NEQ
,DE(CGI.QUERY_STRING),DE())
cfset
tempPos=ListContainsNoCase(QueryString_getMyListings,PageNum_getMyListings=
,)
cfif tempPos NEQ 0
  cfset
QueryString_getMyListings=ListDeleteAt(QueryString_getMyListings,tempPos,
)
/cfif

Now, here's where it gets wonky. On the query, the actual recordcount is the
total number of rows returned, when I use the grouped output and nest my
cfoutput tags, it works perfectly, but it gives me a wrong recordCount and
that, in turn, throws the next n browsing all to heck and back. I THINK I
should somehow be totalling the number of unique PropertyIDs there are in
the query, and use that instead of recordCount...am I on the right track?
I tried COUNT(PropertyID) AS PropertyCount but that didn't work, it won't
let you use that AND a * in the same query, and when I went to all the
trouble to place all my fieldnames in there, it didn't work either...

Try to log in and it keeps bumping me back to log in page . . .

In particular, check under the Home Directory tab of your site in IIS.
Ensure there is an application name there.  I think that may be the cause...
Just a hunch though really...

No you can't.  When you use aggregate functions in an SQL statement you MUST
put all of the fields you are selecting into the GROUP BY clause.  That
means you will need two queries since you want to select more fields than
you want to GROUP BY.

I wouldn't look down on yourself too much for that.  Two queries is not that
big a deal.  It's when you put queries inside loops that you deserve to be
shot ;)

That's exactly my output...
 
 and you want to outputsay...10 propertyIDs per page?
 
 Without running the SELECT COUNT DISTINCT... you will only be able to 
 use next page and previous page links because you won't know how

Can I somehow calculate that DURING the inner join query below? I tried to
add it to the SELECT statement with disastrous results...

I have a couple of hosting clients who insist on using FrontPage.  They have
great looking sites, until you look at two of them and realise they've got
templates from some site somewhere and just changed the text.   

Then I get emails complaining how slow they are to load, and I see that the
150x50 images are actually 1800x600 images displayed at 150x50 so they
download the whole large uncompressed file.  Add to that all the burden code
they have with fragmented tags, font tags on and off everywhere, empty
paragraph tags, empty font tags, additional and unnecessary style tags etc
etc.. and you can take a page from 150kb down to about 15mb without doing a
lot of thinking.

Oh and  don't try to look at their sites with Netscape.

I do hope this new version is better.

 That would be quite a change. IIRC, during the anti-trust trials Bill

 to only work with IE.

CFMX on Cobalt RaQ550

I have a client of mine who has colocated his server, and the colo facility
is having trouble installing cfmx onto that box running the Linux 2.4
Multitasking operating systen as Sun calls it.

They've apparantly installed it on other Cobalt servers, but are having
major troubles with this one...

Has anyone gotten CFMX to work on this appliance?  Anything quirky in the
installation I should be aware of?

 I've been thinking about some ideas on how to stop running scripts, 
 like an ABORT button. This is the first thought I came up with.
 Any other
 ideas? This comes up for me because I have several LONG
 running scripts
 that occassionally, I might want to stop w/o having to
 bounce the cf
 server to do so...

... hrm... I would probably use some sort of progress meter on the 
long-running page you might want to halt -- which will slow it down some
overall also, although probably not a noticeable amount in most cases...
What you really need is a way to interract with the running page from the
client side -- which means, another page load, which is fine, it's just a
matter of figuring out how that is accomplished... The fileexists() isn't a
bad idea -- you could for instance have a stop button that produces a
popup window that says stopping the process, please wait, which then
creates the halt flag on the server. Use cfflush after the button is
displayed and before the long running process begins, so that the button is
visible and then display the progress below the button. When the long
running process sees the flag file it deletes it, aborts the process, closes
the popup window and displays a message indicating that the process has been
cancelled. I wouldn't worry terribly muc

2003-06-06 Thread Costas Piliotis
Actually, for large files, jon hall is correct...  Use DTS, not CF.  CF is
good for samller recordsets.  Eventually the http request will time out or
something...  And end users get sick of waiting.  

Alternatively, and if you hafta use cf, inside the cfloop statement, I'd
use cfflush to create some kind of feedback for the end user about
completion...  Although cfflush slows things down, the feedback to the end
user is quite valuable and can keep them waiting instead of hitting
refresh...  Before cfflush, we'd fake it with an animaged gif or
something...  That worked well too...

However, do NOT do that for very large (50,000+ records) reports. Write each
line at a time. It may be counter-intuitive, but apparently, appending data
to a variables takes exponentially longer as the variable grows bigger...

 don't do a CFFILE ACTION=append, that'll be slow like nothing else.  
 Build the entire file in memory, and then write it with a single 
 CFFILE.  If your memory won't handle it, then break it down into 
 chunks (maybe a few hundred or a thousand records each), and write 
 those chunks to the file, rather than each record.

CFMX currently works on Redhat 8 but verity doesn't work and it's not an
officially supported platform by Macromedia. So if you don't care about that
you don't need to wait for RedSky.

Pete Freitag

  It'd be nice to see that MM catches up to support at least Redhat 
  8...

RedSky (code-name for the upcoming ColdFusion MX maintenance release) 
will support RedHat 7.3, 8, 9 and SuSE Linux 8.

Well, an important caveat of that statement is that CFSearch/K2 will 
not be supported on those platforms, only RH 6.2-7.2 and SuSE 7. For 
some, that's an important consideration, I would imagine.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't all urls now search engine
friendly?  I mean, I know Google's algorithm for spidering sites is pretty
advanced.  It doesn't just index every document, but rather follows links
throughout your site instead...  It doesn't index documents that don't have
a link to them, and the old trick of putting white text on a white
background fails too...  They've gotten pretty clever afaik...

I was about to jump right into the cf_FakeURL way to do it (I currently have

RE: SOT: URL length

2003-06-05 Thread Costas Piliotis
Older browsers only support URLS 255 characters or less.  We found IE, up to
5.0 had this limit.  IE 5.5 or better supports longer URL's.

Not sure about nutscrape and opera though, but I recon the same constraint
applies...

I don't think it's IIS 5 that ignores the url's...  We require on our
internal apps that IE5.5 or better be used.  That's one of the reasons we
did that.  I can list others, but I don't need to get into another browser
debate :-)

RedHat is stopping the support of RH7.x Standard and Pro -- the Enterprise

this is all a plan to move you from the one-time $149 fee for RH Pro to the
$349-$2999/year subscription for RH Enterprise, but that's the cost of the
support.

Or you can do a major OS upgrade every 12-18 months which is the RH X
release schedule.

Redhat 9, Apache 2.0.40 Woes

2003-05-31 Thread Costas Piliotis
Argh...  Caught in RPM hell!  Anyways...  Trying to install cfmx over apache
2.0.40 on redhat 9...  Should be compatible.  Don't even get me started on
my httpd 2.0.43 problems...  
 
Anyway...  can't start httpd.  Keeps giving me an error about mod_jrun.c.
Says it's not compatible with this version of apache.  I've installed the
cfmx updater and it's upgraded succesfully per mm's kb article.  Anyone else
had this problem?  My httpd.conf is pointing to mod_jrun20.so correctly...
Per mm, if I run updater 3, it should be compatible woth 2.0.40.  
 
Argh...  Very frustrating...  I know die hard linux fans will tell me to
rtfm or something, but you know, for those folks who boast about the
superiority, there's a few things that the penguin is a bit of a pain
with...  And yes, I know I can compile from source.  More troubles there.  I
wish there was a FreeBSD port for cfmx...  It'd probably work :)
 
Nonetheless, it's just for development, so I'm gonna run as standalone for
now.  Anyone got any suggestions what I can do to get it to run under
apache2?  Thanks in advance eh...

CFMX U3 requires Apache 2.0.43 or better in the 2.0 series if I remember
correctly

RedHat doesn't release new versions when it upgrades it's RPMs, it backports
the changes to the existing version.  So you'll never get a RedHat RPM for
RH8 or 9 that is newer than apache 2.0.40, even though it contains all the
changes up through 2.0.46.

Just compile apache from source.  It's pretty trivial.  If you specify the
redhat file layout, you shouldn't have to change anything about your server
config, although I can't say that for sure, as I use the standard apache
layout.

 mod_jrun.c. Says it's not compatible with this version of apache.  
 I've installed the cfmx updater and it's upgraded succesfully per mm's 
 kb article. Anyone else had this problem?  My httpd.conf is pointing 
 to mod_jrun20.so correctly... Per mm, if I run updater 3, it should be 
 compatible woth 2.0.40.

 Argh...  Very frustrating...  I know die hard linux fans will tell me 
 to rtfm or something, but you know, for those folks who boast about 
 the superiority, there's a few things that the penguin is a bit of a 
 pain with...  And yes, I know I can compile from source.  More 
 troubles there.  I wish there was a FreeBSD port for cfmx...  It'd 
 probably work :)

 Nonetheless, it's just for development, so I'm gonna run as standalone 
 for now.  Anyone got any suggestions what I can do to get it to run 
 under apache2?  Thanks in advance eh...

RE: PHP Equiv of cfoutput group

2003-05-30 Thread Costas Piliotis
AFAIK I don't think there is one really...  You'd probably just hafta do it
manually:
Something like:

$checkvar = ;
while ($row = mysql_fetch_object($result)) {
if ($row-field1 != $checkvar) {
//This would be your summary row.
$checkvar = $row;
}   
echo ($row-field2);
//etc, etc, etc
}

Forgive me if the syntax is a bit off...  I still write PHP with a book

RE: Hiding JavaScript codes

Okay okay...  I know Dave...  You're right of course...  The browser has to

do anyone any good.  I may have understated how simple it was...

I for one wouldn't go to that much effort to borrow a snippet.  There's so

 Actually, you kind of can I think...
 
 You can use a cfm file as a .js file to emulate a javascript
 file. Change the extension to .cfm... Careful, cf studio 
 won't correctly parse it, but nonetheless it'll work...  
 Just tested it.
 
 cfparam name=cgi.http_referer default=
 cfif cgi.http_referer eq cfabort/cfif at the top.
 
 Then, in your script, just enter:
 script language=javascript src=temp.cfm/script
 
 In THEORY, the .js will come up blank unless it's called
 from another file on your site.
 
 Tweak it as you wish. It should keep prying eyes from
 reading your .js file.

 This isn't 100% bulletproof, but should work for the most
 part. You can of course get more anal on the file and 
 verify the referer more carefully.

If prying eyes are being used in concert with a brain (or just common,
off-the-shelf software), this won't stop them from seeing your Javascript.

 I know, you cannot for sure, 100% hide it... Cgi variables
 can be spoofed. Still better than leaving it wide open if 
 you want to lock it down...
 
 It's like your house. Just because someone can break a
 window doesn't mean you should leave the door unlocked.  
 Nothing is really 100% secure. But it protects you from 
 everyone but the elite hacker.

This is a poor analogy. Perhaps a better one would be locking your door, but
leaving the key under the mat. But that doesn't really do justice to the
situation either. The simple fact is, securing your house is quite a bit
different from securing application code, and you simply can't secure code
that is being downloaded to the client.

Any web developer with a modicum of common sense knows that for your browser
to run Javascript, it has to be downloaded to the browser. If your browser
can get to it, so can the web developer. Knowing this, it's pretty trivial
to figure out how to do this - just send the same message to the server that
your browser sends. (Or, for that matter, just fetch it from the browser
cache.) You certainly don't have to be an elite hacker to do this.

 The only way for one to do this is if they know how to pass
 their own http headers. And then they need to know that you're 
 looking at that particular cgi variable, and they need to know 
 what you're comparing to as well. Too much trouble for a little 
 piece of javascript IMHO...

It's no trouble at all. Again, the developer doesn't have to know what
variable you're checking against - it really doesn't matter at all. All the
developer has to do is send the same HTTP request that your browser sent.
Since HTTP requests are just text, this is a very easy thing to do. Any
packet sniffer or recording proxy will tell you exactly what that text is.
I've recently started using EffeTech HTTP Sniffer for this sort of thing -
it just does HTTP, but it will let you refetch any file automatically, among
other things. But you don't have to spend $40 to do this - you can use free
tools like Ethereal.

Finally, keep in mind that your approach means more (unnecessary) work for
your CF server, and defeats the primary purpose of using external source
files in the first place - caching!

Verity to index sql server.

2003-04-04 Thread Costas Piliotis
Hi folks.  I hate SQL Server full-text indexing, so I have a rather large
verity index on a recordset that I'm having trouble with.
 
I've written a cfm file that'll refresh the index, and am able to envoke it
through a browser.  Takes forever, 
 
Currently, we have a nightly job that goes and refreshes the index.
 
Problem is, the timeout on my site is 100s, and the timeout on the scheduled
task is 1s...  But the task times out with the site timeout...
 
I don't want to raise the timeout on my site, but I'd sure like this
scheduled job to refresh my index...  Any thoughts?  I've tried adding
?requesttimeout=1  and that works from a browser, and fails on the
task...  
 
Thanks for any help...

IE6 disables third-party cookies by default, which is why your cookies would
not be getting set if displayed within a frameset (assuming the domain name
of your client site is different from your own).

You can get around this by placing a P3P header in your IIS configuration to
tell IIS to allow the cookies.  We have to do this on our ZonkBoard web site
(www.zonkboard.com, shameless plug) because the nature of the app is to sit
in an IFRAME on the user's site.  We use cookies within the app to store the
end user's name/url so they don't have to type it every time they post. This
has the added effect of storing the name/url/session cookies across any site
with a ZonkBoard on it.  The P3P header makes it all possible.

Here is the P3P header we use in IIS to make it happen:

P3P: CP=NOI DSP COR OPTa BUS OTC

Google for P3P to find more info and the link to get IBM's P3P policy
editor.  It's pretty neat stuff.

I don't think I've seen this mentioned yet.  Another way you can randomly
order your results is to say:

SELECT *
FROM TABLE
WHERE your criteria here
ORDER BY NewId()

I've found this works well in SQL Server 2000 but starts to slow down if you
have a large number of records.  Still, I've done it on 1,000 records or so
without any problems.

RE: Hiding JavaScript codes

2003-04-03 Thread Costas Piliotis
I know, you cannot for sure, 100% hide it...  Cgi variables can be spoofed.
Still better than leaving it wide open if you want to lock it down...

It's like your house.  Just because someone can break a window doesn't mean
you should leave the door unlocked.  Nothing is really 100% secure.  But it
protects you from everyone but the elite hacker.

The only way for one to do this is if they know how to pass their own http
headers.  And then they need to know that you're looking at that particular
cgi variable, and they need to know what you're comparing to as well.  Too
much trouble for a little piece of javascript IMHO...

However, you can fake the referer value. Repeat after me - you cannot hide
JavaScript. JavaScript is run on the client. Therefore the client (and
therefore the user) MUST have access to it.

 Actually, you kind of can I think...
 
 You can use a cfm file as a .js file to emulate a javascript
 file.  Change the extension to .cfm...  Careful, cf studio 
 won't correctly parse it, but nonetheless it'll work...  Just 
 tested it.
 
 cfparam name=cgi.http_referer default=
 cfif cgi.http_referer eq cfabort/cfif at the top.
 
 Then, in your script, just enter:
 script language=javascript src=temp.cfm/script
 
 In THEORY, the .js will come up blank unless it's called from
 another file on your site.
 
 Tweak it as you wish.  It should keep prying eyes from
 reading your .js file.
 
 This isn't 100% bulletproof, but should work for the most
 part.  You can of course get more anal on the file and verify 
 the referer more carefully.

RE: Learned something today (Oracle)

2003-04-02 Thread Costas Piliotis
From what I know about SQL Server's behaviour, it will allow for that syntax
until it reaches a character then it'll stop.

In our Accpac database, we have invoices stored.  Our older invoices have
INV01 or whatever for invoice numbers.  Now they're imported from the
database I built and the invoice number is an autonumber integer.

Anyway...  I routinely forget it's a char field, and forget the quotes.  I
always get Error converting 'INV01' to integer data type (or something
like that)...  So I suspect it converts each record to int first before
doing the where condition.  

I'd bet Oracle does something similar.  Probably something in the standard
that allows for that kind of a comparison.  

It'd be nice if it did it the other way and converted the where criteria to
char, but that could yield much different results, especially if you use
greater than or less than signs.  So to accommodate for other operators, it
likely does the casting the other way.

 I couldn't understand why some queries on tables selecting using the 
 primary key (orderno) was taking so long...
 
 In this instance the field in the database is a varchar
 field, but it's
 holding a numeric value. (Don't ask me why, that's another discussion)
 
 If I did the query like this:
 
 SELECT FROM orderheader WHERE orderno = 60134445
 
 It took like 40 secs!
 
 If I did the query like this:
 
 SELECT FROM orderheader WHERE orderno = '60134445'
 
 Bam! tiny milliseconds... Like it should be.
 
 I never realized that the (lack of) quotes was the problem.
 What causes
 this slowdown exactly?

Session state / cookies within frame???

2003-04-02 Thread Costas Piliotis
Just noticed that a client of our wants our site within a frame from their
own site.

Normally, cf sets cookies on the client with the site information.  We
already disallow clients who block cookies (Flame on...), but I don't
understand why IE disallows cookies from cross site frames.

I'm now somehow tasked with appending cfid and cftoken to every hyperlink,
every javascript, every form tag, and every cflocation tag.  Argh.

Anyone care to enlighten me why this is so?

Hi Costas,

IE if told to accept a cookie, will accept it
from whereever it comes (banner ads)(think doubleclick.com) 
frames .. 

Only thing I can think of is that they are 
actually pulling your content from there server
via a cfhttp (or lang equivalent) and pulling
your content into a local frame of theirs

is it a standard FrameSet with your URL in the src ?

The licence is for the database server, not the tools from what I

I've never seen a licence agreement from Microsoft for the sql server
database tools...

Here's now I look at it.  I buy CAL's for XP.  I don't get media with each
CAL.  Ergo it's the Licence that's important to own, not necessarily the
software.  If you aren't using the sql server database that you've
downloaded, it's kinda hard to say that's piracy...  You're using the
tools...  It's unclear if you need the licence to run EM and ISQL etc...

 Subject: My First CF Site (Critique Request)
 
 
 Sorry if this is a bit OT, but I was hoping to get some
 feedback on my first CF site:  http://makeover.sllboces.org

For what they're worth:

1) The body and link text is REALLY, REALLY small.  Too small to read
comfortably.

Also you've set your font sizes up in a such a way that the browser contols
for resizing the text do NOT work.  This is most likely because you used
pixel sizes in the style sheet.  Consider either using relative sizes in the
sheet or making mutliple versions of the style sheet available for use by
people that need larger text.

3) I would really consider moving your menu to the top of the page. It's
nice and experimental and all, but is your audience really experimental?  If
(as I think it is) your audience may NOT be advanced computer users make it
as easy for them as possible and adopt a plain vanilla structure: menu at
the top, logo in the upper right, etc.

4) At least on my screens (LCDs) the text of the Of Interest links is
illegible when being moused-over (the green is too overpowering).

5) The logo is just gi-freakin'-normous - but it's very simple.  I would
consider shrinking it down personally. The image of the interested guy is
nice - I would probably push something like that larger before the logo.

6) If you shrunk the logo and moved things around you might then consider
taking the Quick Links out of a single select box and using multiple boxes
(one per group).  This would allow people to eliminate a lot of the
scrolling needed in that box (right now there are 10 screens of links
within that select box).  Also the text for that select is also REALLY,
REALLY small.

Also you might link to a single, plain HTML page with all of those links for
those that like to see all their options in front of them.

I also wouldn't repeat the quick links in two different places as you have.


For the inner pages:

1) I would drop your back link.  It's cute, but completely redundant and
doesn't offer anything - again I would REALLY consider moving the menu to
the TOP of the page.


That's about it off the top of my head.  Damn I'm a picky bastard.

Consider trying Apache on win2k pro instead.  That's a MUCH better work

  I am setting up a web server with CF 5.0 on a win2kpro
  box and I read in the CF 5.0 installation manual that 
  win2kpro is not recommended because it only allows 10 
  concurrent TCP/IP connections. This means that only 10 
  concurrent users can access the website right? Or are 
  there connections used for internal things that would 
  limit concurrent users further?
 
 Database connections, SMTP connections, FTP connections,
 management connections, backup connections etc. etc. etc. 
 all reduce that number. If you run DNS even that reduces 
 the number during zone transfers.

Actually, I don't think this is true. I think you can have more than ten
concurrent TCP/IP connections. You just can't support more than ten
concurrent authenticated or SSL connections through the version of IIS that
comes with Win2K Pro.

I'm not 100% sure about this, though, and don't have a machine handy to

Doesn't SQL server support sequences? In that case somefunction would be

RE: OT: MM Suprises Wall Street - Can more be done?

2003-01-24 Thread Costas Piliotis
While I appreciate the fact that ASP.Net is a pretty decent platform, I have
to disagree with certain ideas.

First, ASP.Net has been slow to adopt.  ASP developers are forced to
re-learn everything.  There are a lot of things that only took a few minutes
in Asp that are downright tricky in .net.

Take for example a data grid you output.  Let's say you wanted to do
groupings of the table you're outputting.  Something very simple to do in cf
using the cfoutput group=foo tag.  In ASP it's simple too.  Has anyone
actually tried to do something like that in asp.net?  It took us months to
find a straight answer on how to do that.  It seems that there is a lot of
things you have to do WAY differently, and that has met a lot of resistance.

I can't see ASP.Net creeping up and taking over.  I'd worry about PHP before
I'd worry about asp.net.  PHP from what I see is the most popular
server-side scripting language in use today.  And is a heck of a lot more
flexible than asp.net.

I very much doubt that. I think we may see an increasing divide between 
Windows and Unix in terms of ASP.NET and Java - I don't really see 
ASP.NET spreading out onto Unix much, even with efforts like MONO etc. 
Also, because of ASP.NET's indigenous nature on Windows, I don't see 
Java eating away too much there.

A lot comes down to whether you want to use Windows or Unix. Here at 
Macromedia, we use Windows and Mac desktops and laptops but on the 
server side we're mostly Solaris. The SF-hosted portions of the website 
(all the static content, the current BroadVision-powered Online Store 
and Macromedia Exchanges etc) are all Solaris (Apache, Oracle). The 
Newton-hosted portions, inherited from Allaire, are all Windows 
(webforums, the current DevEx system, the events system, the partners 
system and the knowledge base). The Newton-hosted portions are powered 
by ColdFusion (a mixture of versions from 4.5 up to MX with a couple of 
Spectra systems). We are developing a new website, powered by 
ColdFusion MX, and hosted mostly here in SF on Solaris. I can't too 
many details yet but I'll be talking about the new site at MXDU 
(http://www.mxdu.com/).

We're hosting a 6m page views a day website so our choice of platform 
may not match yours and we already had most of the Solaris hardware we 
needed - to switch to Windows would have been prohibitively expensive.

If we were starting from scratch, I suspect we'd look more closely at 
Linux. I think Linux is a very interesting price/performance 
proposition: cheap hardware, lightweight / high performance O/S, lots 
of free software tools, great community support.

 seems that every where I go , clients want to do in in ASP/ASP.Net,
 while CF
 gets less respect. It seems to me that CF is not as ubiquitous as
 ASP/ASP.Net. It would be nice to see CF get the press coverage more
 frequently ..  Any ideas???

Write articles about CF success stories and submit them to magazines. 
Seriously. Explain to your potential clients how much more 
cost-effective a ColdFusion solution will be than an ASP.NET solution.

RE: updating large verity collection

A good start would be to view the estimated execution plan in query

are it's not the right query.  Make sure it isn't doing a table scan...
That's usually what slows it down...

So how do you guys handle updating very large collections?

From a query (I'm using MSSQL Server).

CF 5.0

As I understand it, I can update incrementally, without overwriting the
previous updates, but I'm not sure how to do it.

CFQUERY has a Maxrows attribute, but apparently not a startrow/endrow pair.

I thought I would try something like this:

SELECT  ARCHIVE_ID
blah,
blah,
blah,
FROM table
WHERE ARCHIVE_ID BETWEEN 1 and 1

i.e. between #form.startrow# and #form.endrow#

But in query analyizer, this query takes FOREVER to run.

What are my other options?

RE: SOT Javascript Navigation

So for browser detection, it's pretty easy.  Just use the variable
http_user_info.

Here's a list of all the possible values (not including spiders):
http://www.zytrax.com/tech/web/browser_ids.htm

Thing is, you can use CONTAINS and DOES NOT CONTAIN to pretty much determine
OS and Browser.  Write a UDF or Custom Tag to get that pretty easy, or there
are plenty of them already available, although they may not return exactly
what you're looking for...

I'd not worry too much.  Remember, eye candy should be used to only enhance
a site, not become the basis for it.  Have an alternative navigation system
for those who are Browser Challeneged or something too, so that way you

IE 5.1 or Netscape 4.7 the entire navigation menu shows up half way down 
the page from where it's supposed to be positioned!

Either I need to know how to fix the code if that's the problem, or how to 
detect someone viewing the site with a Mac and IE or Netscape

Also, if ANYONE has AOL  (MAC AND OR PC)  please also look and let me know 
if the nav menu on the left is positioned just below the Advanced Search

cfqueryparam.

this contains the mail id, the person's id and a checksum digit

Server side is a url rewriting mechanism that changes the link to

Shouldn't really cache though if UserID is different for each time the
beacon is called should it?

Make it unique.  For example, add some unique value to it like:
IMG

 How do you stop proxy servers and browsers from caching the beacon? e

RE: Issue: Change row color on mouse over in Netscape 4.7

2002-12-18 Thread Costas Piliotis
I actually think it's getting to be a good time to force them to upgrade.
There was a time where websites started coming along that had a minimum
Nutscrape 4/IE 4 requirement.  Why not take a moment and raise the bar to IE
5 / Nutscrape 6 /Opera 6 / Mozilla 1.0...  Makes sense to me...

You won't get it to work, NS 4.7's CSS and DHTML support is very weak.

I'm also real sure that you can't use an onMouseOver event on a TR or a TD
in 4.7

However, from a philosophical perspective (and I don't mean to get OT or
cause a furor), if your users are about average as far as browser stats, I
wouldn't even bother to offer anything beyond a basic, presentable layout in
NS4.x since they are a very small minority (5% on our site).  But that's
just me, I love browsers with solid CSS support :-)

 Hello Everyone:

 I've spent too many hours on this I hit a wall. I'm using the code 
 below to alternate row color for my table and when you mouse over each 
 row it should change the background color for the row. It works in IE 
 5+ and Netscape 6+ but I can't get it to work in Netscape 4.7 any 
 ideas?

 TR valign=top
 bgcolor=###iif(currentrow MOD 2,DE('BFCCE6'),DE('D8DFE1'))# 
 onmouseover=this.style.backgroundColor='##FAF7B8'; window.status='My 
 Window Message';return true; 
 onmouseout=this.style.backgroundColor='###iif(currentrow MOD 
 2,DE('BFCCE6'),DE('D8DFE1'))#'; window.status=''; return true;


 Bonus Question: I'm working within a framed page it possible when the 
 user mouse's over the row to send a value to a window.status for 
 Netscape 4.7?

 Regards,
 James Blaha

RE: refresh iframe

2002-12-18 Thread Costas Piliotis
Just reload like you would a normal window...  Make sure you use the id
attribute of the tag, not the name attribute of it.

iframeid.location.href.reload();

Yes, it's src, not href...  Although an iframe is also a window, and a
window has the href attribute, so I think you can use either...

If I remember correctly iframes have an href property you can set to
change/update the page. Like an image.

i.e.
.matchList.href = 'blah.html'

this is just off the top of my head though so I could be crazy wrong.

Have 2 iframes in a page: iframe names are matchList and matchDetail. When
making certain updates in a matchDetail template, want to refresh the
template in matchList. Have done this in standard frames with something like
the code below in the main frame to refresh a list in a side frame: Script
  parent.List.location=myList.cfm
 /script

Is there something similar for iframes? Tried
script
matchList.location=myList.cfm
/script
but that didn't do it.

Thanks for any suggestions.

RE: mySQL equivalent of MS Access Money fieldtype?

2002-12-17 Thread Costas Piliotis
If I'm not mistaken, there's a float or decimal data type in mysql...
Trying to remember off the top of my head.  Use that data type.

Also, try this:
#val(Form.UCPaymentAmount)#

It will remove all unnecessary formatting and convert the form value to a
number each time.  Should work fine for what you need.

Just make sure you round your numbers off consistantly all the time...
That's the real place you need to be careful at.

Subject: RE: mySQL equivalent of MS Access Money fieldtype?


I'm running into some of the very problems you mention.
I tried Decimal as the field type, but 100.5 gets rounded up to
101.00...not good.

I tried Integer, but when, for example, 100.50 gets entered into a
formfield, then inserted into the db, it gets truncated to 100.  How do I
set up Integer to retain 2 decimal places?

Also, I'm trying to setup the mySQL db fieldtype and CF processing such that
if a user inputs $100.50, which is not a number, mySQL won't reject it. I
tried setting up the CF input line with various combinations of functions,
such as:

cfqueryparam cfsqltype=CF_SQL_INTEGER
Value=#LSCurrentFormat(LSParseNumber(Form.UCPaymentAmount))#

but I haven't been able to find the right combo to allow users to input
either 100.50, 100.5, or $100.50 and still get the right number into the db
without rounding or truncating and back out for display on the CF page.

Clues?

Rick

Integer is the safer way to represent money - as pennies - because that way
you avoid rounding errors. Financial applications should never use floating
point to represent dollars (or whatever). If you take 0.00 and add 0.01 a
hundred times, you're quite likely to get something which does not equal
1.00 because of inherent inaccuracies in floating point representation.

RE: Issue: Change row color on mouse over in Netscape 4.7

2002-12-17 Thread Costas Piliotis
I'm not sure, but does nutscrape 4.7 even support dhtml?  I'm not sure it
supports the onmouseover/onmouseout events...  

Why bother?  Nutscrape 4.xx users are fast on the decline, so if you make it
look okay for them and great for everyone else, don't worry about it...

There's a tonne of sites that forego features when nutscrape users hit their
sites.  Just the way it works.  If you use a crappy, four year old browser,
you don't deserve the right to see the eye candy.  What's next, rollovers in
Lynx?

Let the flames begin!
