Re: 20USD/Hour Seriously?
Ok just wondering, because this is how I read that post: Hey guys I found a CF job for $20 an hour :( :( :( I can't effing believe that every CF job on Earth doesn't pay AT LEAST 1 Million Dollars per hour. This is stupid right? ColdFusion is stupid now right? But I get that you're sincere. You could always not take that job and look for something $$$ier. I personally know some full time students that work at CF jobs that start at $13 an hour, and some pros that work at salaried gigs that equate to about $70 an hour. Depending on what project you're working on, who you're working for, and your talent/productivity level, your pay will vary wildly. In pretty much every industry and career on Earth. That's just life my friend. If you find that you're not earning as much as you'd like, upgrade yourself. Education, work ethic, a focus on technique. The world is your oyster and so forth!

I didn't mean that you were actually saying CF was stupid. I was trying to just paraphrase your sentiment into a tantrum. Which is what it sounded like. But I get what you mean.

This is stupid right? ColdFusion is stupid now right? I I don't see how you can see that in my post... I'm honestly trying, but I don't follow.. That's pretty much has nothing to do with what I posted. What I was trying to say is that I usually work for $50 an hour. If a company contracted me out to (let's say.. Valve) for $20/hr, I would lower my rate of pay to go work that company (especially when you get every game on steam for it and they have on-call massages available. Yes, I'm being serious). So if $20/hr + perks means I am making more then $50/hr, then I'll take the cut in pay for the extras (and the prestige of working there). I, in no way, think CF is stupid. I just got off a contract for $40/hr. for 6 months. The length of time of the contract helped me decide to go to $40 an hour. CF right now is keeping me working. :) That's a good thing in my mind. You could always not take that job and look for something $$$ier. I'm ALWAYS looking for more work. Even if I'm working for the $50/hr., if someone comes along and offers me $80/hr., I'll take it (finishing up my initial contract of course). I personally know some full time students that work at CF jobs that start at $13 an hour, and some pros that work at salaried gigs that equate to about $70 an hour. As do I. The 13-20/hr.

Re: SOT: Workstation recommendations
Dell and HP here, have had not a single issue with more than 5 systems of each over the last decade except a single broken key on a Dell laptop which they overnighted a replacement for for free with no extra service plan or warrantee service. Dell's refurbished outlet gives you some great deals with identical warranties to their new products. The main reason I prefer Dell and HP systems ( particular models only disclaimer ) is that they're much more attractive than all of the other Windows brands. As far as performance, you can buy any cheap windows desktop with anything i5 or better and 8GB of RAM and throw a PCIE revo drive into it for a few hundred dollars and get better performance than any high end workstation for ColdFusion development. Just make sure you do your research, they've released 4-5 generations of the Revo drive ( a simple SSD Raid 0 on a PCI express card ) in the last few years, you'll want the newest generation that fits your price point.

Re: How do you compose your dev teams?
Two words. Walkie talkies. On Fri, Sep 2, 2011 at 1:12 PM, Nathan Strutz str...@gmail.com wrote: Hi everybody. I have a little management-type dilemma that I can't solve. I'm no manager, so I'm trying to collect info about how other people do it. I work in a small group of CF developers (7 of us) inside a big company (100k+ of us). The way we work is that pretty much everybody owns one or more applications in our group's portfolio of programs (probably 10 apps, 3 or 4 are big important). My manager has noticed that we don't communicate enough and has started threatening drastic measures, moving people around and putting us where we don't want to be. I am not sure of his motivation, but it may be partially the hit-by-a-bus protection, wondering if his apps will be supported if one of us eats a piece of public transportation. So my question to the list is this: How do you organize your teams of developers successfully? Please let me know what you do, or what you have seen that actually works. I'll start us off. I asked my friend Mario, who says they have a team of core developers that do RD at a higher level, overseeing the technical direction of their applications. Those RD projects are flowed out into application development teams, and then they have a lot of other developers who do front-ends and integration work. Regular flow-down meetings help people share ideas and copy adapt similar projects. Mario's team compositon sounds awesome, but he has a lot more people than I do.

Are you saying that one of your cores has high utilization and the others none? Your server should use all cores *as necessary* *if ever necessary* *automatically* *without the intervention or management of your application*.

Oops.

I was really disappointed to see that the two frameworks with the most momentum ( impression ) and that I'm most excited to learn about aren't covered in the book ( ColdBox and CFWheels ), while a few less relevant topics are ( Reactor, CFPresentation, CFEclipse ). Any thoughts on this? Was it just because that was the material available? Anyway, very excited for this read! That looks like a great ColdFusion book. Nice work guys!

Re: Stung by HostMySite price increase?
Oh you're totally right, I obviously had it misconfigured. I must've not even thought to research and implement strategic configuration of the MySQL instance itself. Man I wish I had thought of that in the enormous amount of research and testing we had to do. It sounds like such a simple, obvious place to start. Oh wait, that was one of the things we spent the most time on. Or no maybe you were right the second time. It had to do with my attitude. MySQL was particularly bad at certain types of queries because for some reason, that's what I believed in my heart that it would be. I guess maybe the purple dolphin logo triggered some kind of subliminal prejudice in my mind and that's what's been holding MySQL back. Hold on I'm going to go say a little prayer and then run them again. I'm sure that'll fix it. Thanks buddy! We iterated through a kaleidoscope of configuration strategies and were on more than ample hardware ( 2 xeon quads, 16GB ram, a RAID 5 of 15k drives ) but even the ones that should've been ideal on paper, though they did improver performance quite a bit compared to other configurations, could not exempt MySQL from the fact that it is very bad at certain things.

Re: Stung by HostMySite price increase?
I'm not against open source in any way shape or form! SOME of it is fantastic. But that doesn't mean I think that all open source products are great or even decent. Honestly it seems like a lot of them are pretty fruitless, and more the personal hobbies and indulgences of the developers than useful bits of software ( read: a few of my own open source projects that luckily never even went public ; ). MySQL obviously not included. I adopted Firefox literally the moment I discovered tabbed browsing back before IE had it and when any product ( open source or otherwise ) is good enough, I evangelize it like a Jehova's Witness ( that's a compliment, it's pretty impressive that they hit the streets on Saturdays just to spread some church ). Like I said, I've loved and used MySQL for years, and am only now unlocking its deep, dirty secrets. Clearly, it can do plenty of things very well or well enough. So it's great ( or fine ) for a lot of projects / operations. Unfortunately, for the stuff I was doing, it really really struggled ( and was obliterated in comparative performance by SQL Server 2008 ). Unfortunately ( sorry Judah ), I can't go very deeply into the explicit details of what MySQL was struggling with because our implementation is pretty tightly bound to some closed-sourcey commercial / intellectual property even at the database level. I can say that generally speaking some general issues that MySQL exhibited were the inability to correctly determine its own best execution plans, leverage precisely-defined indexes even when explicitly directed to with SQL-level overrides, correctly negotiate certain types of subqueries and not do more work than it needed to ( which was pretty ridiculous, at one point we were using ColdFusion to mitigate MySQL's own self-inflicted overload by feeding simulated subquery results to other queries as parameters by relaying the results to and from CF ), and reliably join to the same table( s ) multiple times against different subsets of its data to create highly dynamic temporary composites. Its raw view performance was also pretty weak at a real scale. Another thing to mention ( since you mention the storage engine implementation in MySQL ) is that the issues we had were almost exclusively with the InnoDB storage engine ( the most popular transactional engine with support for foreign key cascades ), and we used a design that was very driven by automated referential integrity with foreign and composite keys, which some people see as a more contemporary, cutting-edgey approach. After our complete re-architecture ( which now relies on application-server management of most of the things we tried to let MySQL handle automatically ) and a mostly MyISAM table design, MySQL is performing much, much better.

Re: Stung by HostMySite price increase?
.16 seconds in 2009 is the equivalent of ~20 minutes in 1990's time. I'm kind of kidding. But are we sure that Google's search ( which is probably its best performing software ) uses MySQL anyway? I thought it used BigTable or whatev ( http://labs.google.com/papers/bigtable.html ) Most of the other Google apps though have seemed really slow to me ( and been down completely more times than I can count on one hand ). I use Gmail, Calendar, their Spreadsheet/Docs, IM, etc. And the only app I've ever really been impressed with of theirs is Chrome ( which is my favorite browser ). I actually really like SQLYog ( save the logo ) and use it in combination with Navicat and MySQL Query Browser ( each one does a few things well, other things horribly, so I alternate for specific tasks ). But once you get into some less-common, complex-ier shiz it struggles pretty badly. Trying to edit compound views derived from composite alphanumeric keys was a total fail for example. The SQL it generated under the hood ( which you can inspect in the history tab, a feature I love ), was totally wrong and would error if I was lucky ( and if not just execute incorrect operations against the d.b. ). But anyway, just as a quick anecdote. In the last few months I have been able to repeatedly, accidentally drop MySQL to its knees with what I'd consider to be basic ( though highly dynamic ), clean, structurally sound database designs and not-that-fancy querying. Even taking a scalpel and microscope and patching every gap with highly designed indexes and directives to MySQL to use them on even an SQL level couldn't make it do what it should and perform even acceptably in certain cases. Popping the exact same tables, data, and SQL into an SQL Server 2008 instance? Instantly, from the very first execution took operations that were taking 15-120 full seconds to execute down to 5 MILLISECONDS. WITHOUT EVEN ADDING ONE MANUAL INDEX AT ALL. That knocked my socks off, and was how I would've expected any modern database system to perform with what I was doing before the MySQL struggle. Granted, there are some things MySQL does plenty well, but scattered all around the feature set are bugs and land mines waiting to go off in your application or development that may or may not affect you depending on what your application does. And you either need the luxury of an infinite amount of time to throw rocks and try to discover and pick off all of the triggers, or to hire a bomb expert last minute ( which I would bet money that most of the high-scale companies that went with MySQL end up doing, which is how it makes its money ) to come in and fix everything and divvy you the hacks and secrets at the rate of 8 million dollars per minute of support. Up until I started developing an application that needed to support thousands of concurrent users with real, instajax performance I'd loved MySQL and never seen any reason to even check out other options. It was free, the IDEs worked well enough, and it seemed pretty popular. But when I did. And development came to a standstill... And I found myself doing more scavenger hunting, experimentation, and research than coding... just to make the software perform its sole function acceptably... everything changed. What a waste of my time. Now I kind of see SQL Server the same way I see ColdFusion. You pay for it because it's better. It saves you time. It lets you focus on what you should be focusing on and producing great applications. Total ROI. This whole thread has actually gotten me kind of excited to move to SQL Server. So thanks Billy!

Re: Stung by HostMySite price increase?
There are about 1,000 reasons I can think of, but I only have limited experience with SQL Server ( just enough to observe these differences ): Less administration and maintenance. Less tuning necessary for pureformance. Exponentially superior performance out of the box. A single, superhero storage engine ( which itself has about 1,000 other benefits IMO ). Way more stable. Better IDE and tools ( the MySQL enterprise tools, at least the ones I've used, are all but a joke ). Significantly lower total cost of ownership for teams and companies without expert MySQL in-house knowledge that know how to solve all of MySQL's shortcomings without investing a lot of time in research and scavenger hunting ).

Re: hardaware question for cf local server
Unfortunately, I think the Atom is probably the least-well-suited to running serverware processor there is. You may also struggle to find Server 2003 drivers for it. You might have better luck with a dirt cheap consumer desktop. I would check out dell.com/outlet, you can get super cheap desktops fully capable of running all of your serverware for development purposes ( with significantly better performance ) for netbook price range. And they come with full warrantees. There's a 2.33 Ghz Core 2 Quad w/ 8 GB of RAM for $435, a Core 2 2.8 Ghz w/ 6GB for $350, or a 2.7 Ghz AMD Athlon w/ 4GB for $300 right now, for example, all with large 7200 RPM HDs. Dell's outlet is where I've gotten most of my dev servers over the years and I've been more than happy. They also don't charge a restocking fee if you buy one and find out it can't do what you want it to. My 2 cents. They also offer coupons every other week to cut 10-25% off of the purchase price.

Then, in your search query, you can loop through them like this: cfoutput cfquery name=search datasource=yourDatasource select * from yourTableName where cfloop query=getAllFields cfif currentRow gt 1 or /cfif #field# like cfqueryparam cfsqltype=cf_sql_varchar value=%#form.yourTextInput#% / /cfloop /cfquery /cfoutput That will search every field in your table for a match to the text field contents from the form they submitted. Good luck. On Thu, Jul 23, 2009 at 8:17 PM, Tom Jones tjo...@acworld.com wrote: Sorry, I thin I might not explained my self very well.

Re: Problem installing ColdFusion on my new laptop.
Ian, to administer your IIS sites you go to Control Panel Administrative Tools IIS Something or Other It might be a better idea to just uninstall ColdFusion, make sure you have the IIS 6 Metabase compatibility enabled, and then re-run the CF install and let it configure the IIS connections that way. I've found the web connector wizard thing works most of the time, but sometimes it just seems to struggle after-the-fact.

If you have a set of userIDs you want to loop through, just make it an array: script userIDs = [ cfloopcfif iteration gt 1 , /cfif#item# /cfloop ]; /script Then do the same thing to read the control values.

Re: MySQL IDE on OS X
Charlie! That app is AWESOME. EXACTLY what I was looking for. Better windowing, much more attractive, smart shortcuts, inline quick querier. So slick. Command 1 2 3. So simple and clever. There's even a keyboard shortcut to execute your inline query ( though it's a weird one: Fn + Enter ). Seriously thanks a million.

Re: Standard to Enterprise - load balanced
A single license of Enterprise lets you install and activate on an unlimited number of virtual machines on the same hardware ( up to 2 physical processors, meaning up to 8 processing cores if you've got quads ). I believe that if you've got more than two physical processors on your machine, you need to get one license per 2 CPUs, but I may be wrong.

Re: Newbie ... CFSQLTYPE of CFQueryParam
I've always been curious as to how cfqueryparam works. Does anyone know if it just performs some scanning and filtering on the actual values of the parameters passed to it or whether it somehow signals to the RDBMS that the values are parameters to the query thereby treating an SQLI attack as an escaped string or something? cfqueryparam errors when you try to use it outside a cfquery tag, which limits some of the stuff you can do with it. ( Like using cfsavecontent to have various cffunctions append SQL to a query and then popping that variable inside of a cfquery tag ). Is there some other way to leverage the parameterized safety of cfqueryparam? Can you do it using pure SQL? The database driver?

Re: Newbie ... CFSQLTYPE of CFQueryParam
Actually, it looks like as long as I managed my prepared statement naming manually across the entire MySQL server I'd be ok to just run multiple queries in a row ( because CF8 with MySQL breaks for me if I try more than one statement separated by semicolons ). So it'd play out like this, for anyone curious: cfquery/ prepare statement #appName#_someIdentifier ' select * from ? ' cfquery/ set @p1 := '#userSuppliedValue#' cfquery/ execute #appName#_someIdentifier using @p1 That sure is a lot of cfquery tags, considering you'd need an extra cfquery for each parameter. But I wonder if that would totally break because CF could be executing multiple queries in parallel through the same MySQL connection and the interwoven execution of all of these queries might make them overlap and overwrite each other's values.

Re: Newbie ... CFSQLTYPE of CFQueryParam
Well from what I read today it seems like the performance is improved for reused prepared statements, which may not be how cfqueryparam is implemented. Prepared statements are stored and reused by name, passing in the values for the parameters. So if cfqueryparam is using prepared statements (which my guess would be that it's not), cfqueryparamming all of your variable values would improve performance because the statement itself isn't being re-sent to the RDMS on each subsequent query, only the values. But if it's not, it could actually slightly DIMINISH performance ( because the SQL generated is more verbose because of the variable declarations and binding syntax ). Any experts out there that can enlighten us? On Thu, Apr 16, 2009 at 12:33 PM, Dominic Watson watson.domi...@googlemail.com wrote: Just a little thing to add here is that I believe you should parametize all values in your query, whether user generated or constant values or whatever. This is not for security but performance. So: SELECT fu FROM bar WHERE barId = cfqueryparam cf_sql_type=cf_sql_integer value=#id# / AND live = 1 Should be: SELECT fu FROM bar WHERE barId = cfqueryparam cf_sql_type=cf_sql_integer value=#id# / AND live = cfqueryparam cf_sql_type=cf_sql_bit value=1 / The reason (and someone please correct me if I am wrong) is that prepared statements can perform better because the db engine caches their execution plan much in the same way as for stored procedures. By parametizing and supplying the type of each value, you help this process. Indeed I suspect that I have read somewhere that it will not cache at all if it finds values that are not parametized. This is my rough understanding of it; please somebody who knows more clarify or correct the point (I do know that db performance always goes by the rule: it depends though).

Re: Newbie ... CFSQLTYPE of CFQueryParam
Ah, thanks guys! What I didn't realize is that you can use unnamed / unstored prepared statements through the driver. That makes so much more sense now. So ColdFusion uses dynamically prepared statements which are implemented in the JDBC driver, which is a totally different ballgame from using the pure SQL interface, which requires you to register them by name and then reuse or overwrite them per call. So if I can hunt down the driver syntax for calling that stuff directly can I just use the Java commands from within my dynamic SQL in a cfquery tag? It looks like CF probably uses java.sql.PreparedStatement with syntax like this: PreparedStatement pstmt = con.prepareStatement(UPDATE EMPLOYEES SET SALARY = ? WHERE ID = ?); pstmt.setBigDecimal(1, 153833.00); pstmt.setInt(2, 110592); Does anyone know how I'd just pop that Java into a CFQuery tag? Or can I probably not because cfquery itself is what handles all of that and will already be either a Statement or PreparedStatement object depending on whether it detected any cfqueryparams? If so, does that mean my only option is writing a custom tag to simulate cfquery and having it handle all of that stuff the same way cfquery does? ( Retrieve the datasource info from the adminapi, create and manage the connection, call all of these execution methods and then translate their results to a CFML query object, etc. What a hassle. This is worse than the fact that you can't use cfform controls outside of a cfform tag in CFC cffunctions. Thanks again.

CFQUERYPARAM builds a JDBC prepared statement. Using CFQUERYPARAM may improve or degrade performance, depending on additional factors. The SQL being more verbose is not one of those factors.

Re: Newbie ... CFSQLTYPE of CFQueryParam
So my real issue was that I wanted to super dynamically assemble the SQL and then either execute it or do a variety of other things with it ( which I won't go into ). If you try to use cfqueryparam outside of a containing cfquery, ColdFusion breaks. So, cfsavecontent ...cfqueryparam... /cfsavecontent if something do something else with it else cfquery it errored. By hacking cfquery, I mean that it suddently occured to me that you can do this, instead of the other options: cfquery cfsavecontent ...cfqueryparam... /cfsavecontent if something select false else #cfsavecontent# /cfquery if something return cfsavecontent else return queryName Note that you'll still need to not use cfqueryparam in cases where you won't be executing the query ( and swap in the unprocessed values or placeholders ), but in my case that still dramatically reduced the code necessary to support the multiple channels ( solved my problem ). It's very hacky, but worked like a charm.

cfset This.Name = {application_name} /
cfset This.CustomTagPaths = /tags /

Possibly that's also something worth checking: that you have the code
