RE: Cached query with execution time?
Well.. what one of our former developers did was create this master query and have quite a few sections of the site reference it. Of course this ran for a couple years and we never noticed it until now when a few of the pages starred to run slow. Turned on debug output and boom.. there is was. We are working on the table to speed it up. I always though the execution time would be close to 0 with cached queries, but I understand now that with a large query this may not be the case.

The 672ms time likely has something to do with the 100,000+ records in the query being loaded into a variable. Otherwise you are correct in that the times for small cached queries should be close to 0. I think that query is too big to put into ColdFusion's cache. It might be faster to execute every detailed query against the database. With the correct database index, such as an index on release date, company and title, you might be able to get that detailed query down to 30ms without the cache, rivaling what you are seeing with the QoQ in CF. If that query is taking more than four seconds it likely means that the database is doing a complete table scan because it doesn't have a good index to use. -Mike Chabot On Mon, Dec 19, 2011 at 6:50 PM, Jacob ja...@excaliburfilms.com wrote: It this right?

Keep all your resources in the cloud - use a hosted bug tracker / version control system. Use IM a LOT. Use Skype (with video). Use iChat (chat, audio, video, screen sharing - Mac rocks!). 4) How do you overcome the hesitancy of potential customers who are uncomfortable with a remote staff. Seriously?

Re: Query Var Disappears
As I stated previously, if the SELECT INTO clause returns more than one record, the database will throw an exception. If the SELECT INTO would not work, then it would not exist in the SQL specification. :-) Just a minor clarification, even though it might not solve your problem. You said you can't do a select into when the select returns more than one row. However, in your original SQL statement (in your very first message) you have insert into myTable (fields) select To be clear, this is not a select into...those are two different things. You may be aware of this, but for those following along in the thread I wanted to clarify. But just in case you are actually referring to an insert into myTable select ..., you can in fact grab more than one row in the select and SQL Server will insert them just fine. I have not closely followed all of the messages in this thread, so if you are talking about something completely different, feel free to ignore me. ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:338604 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

I know that you can't trust the mime type that is sent from the browser, because it varies depending on the user agent, as you found.

Re: cfinsert/cfupdate
How does Coldfusion manufacturer the queryparams? It must inspect the database to determine field types... I wonder if that's a performance hit... I don't know the deep technical details, but I do know that many people argue that using query params actually gives you a performance benefit over plain SQL (although a lot of people disagree). Regardless of the debate over which method is faster, the way it works is if you query param ALL of your variables (including values in the SQL that don't come from CF), ColdFusion will create what is called a prepared statement (sometimes called a parameterized statement, or bind parameter). From what I understand, the way this works is that ColdFusion compiles your query down to machine code that the DB just executes. If you don't query param every value, the DB has to compile the statement, which includes syntax checking and all that jazz. That said, this does not work if you don't use cfqueryparams for everything. For example, this query would NOT be a prepared statement (from what I understand): cfquery name=bday datasource=#myDSN# select birthDate from familyGroups where child = cfqueryparam value=#form.children# cfsqltype=cf_sql_varchar and stillMinor = 1 /cfquery The reason that it would not be a prepared statement is because of the stillMinor = 1 part. Even though that is a static value that never changes, you still want to cfqueryparam that if you want your sql to be compiled to a prepared statement. Otherwise the DB server will still have to do the work when it receives the SQL query from ColdFusion. At least, that is how I understand things. If anybody sees a flaw in my explanation, feel free to jump in and correct me. ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:337408 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

I used to think that ORM was just a crutch for people that hate writing SQL (because they never took the time to properly learn SQL). While I still believe that is the case for some ORM users (I won't name names, but I personally know a few developers that would fit this description), I have since come to realize that there are many SQL gurus out there that like to use ORM because of it's convenience, as well as how tightly it can integrate with OO techniques and frameworks. Personally, I am not one of those people, but I won't say that ORM is bad and nobody should use it. To each his own. :) ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:337416 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Everybody else has given good advice, but I wanted to show you some code to do what you originally asked for. I searched for a small bit of code that Sean Corfield posted to his blog, and I can't find it. But he did add URL rewriting to his FW/1 framework. I'd wager it's close to the same code that he had separately posted earlier.

Re: Shorter URLs - How?
However this is really best left to URL rewriting via the webserver. I would also argue that it's not really bad to do URL rewriting within CF instead of in the web server. Sure, there may be high traffic situations where you're trimming miliseconds, but for most cases CF URL rewriting is a perfectly valid option. And many people would prefer to have all of their application configuration in one place, instead of needing to go to multiple places to maintain app level settings. Also, say you need to move the app to a different server or host. If you use web server URL rewriting, you'll need to set that up again on the new server. If you do it in CF you just need to drop your code on the server and your done. Personally I think it's a personal preference thing, not a This is the written in stone way that you should do it. :) ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:337273 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: Shorter URLs - How?
Sure it's personal preference I guess but I generally try to use the right tool for the job. Data processing is best left to databases. URL rewriting is best left to the server. And ColdFusion server can be left to serve out ColdFusion pages. I won't disagree. I just think that there are cases where it makes sense to do URL rewriting in CF. And especially in this case, where we have a Flex developer that is learning CF...maybe it's not the best idea for him to go try to learn yet another technology when he can just use CF? Also, his app might be on a shared host which would make using web server URL rewriting difficult if not impossible. ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:337276 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Re: Removing new line from CSV?
In Windows a line feed is actually #chr(10)##chr(13)#. However, if you remove those you will probably remove ALL line feeds in your file instead of just the double line feed that is causing you problems. This can be tricky, but you will probably want to look for #chr(10)##chr(13)##chr(10)##chr(13)#, or something like that. Line feeds can be a real pain in the butt because different software will give you different line feed combinations.

Re: An instance of CF 7, CF 8, CF 9 on single pc
You will want to install CF9 first to make sure you get the most current JVM. Install the Multi-server version of CF. In your new CF 9 Admin, add a new CF9 instance in the Instance Manager. Then install CF8 and CF7 as J2EE EARs. Finally, you can add the CF8/CF7 EARs as instances in your CF9 Instance Manager. If you wish, you can add the instances to your web server to avoid having to use the ported sites.

RE: meta tag location
Fresh, unique content and quality backlinks... that is 98% of the battle. -Original Message- From: Dave Watts [mailto:dwa...@figleaf.com] Sent: Thursday, January 07, 2010 8:22 AM To: cf-talk Subject: Re: meta tag location From my research on several large commerce websites I have worked on, Google does not even use the Meta Description, page Title or URL for page rank or position. In my own experience, the title is used for page rank, but I can't tell if it affects relevance. Page rank and relevance are, of course, the two factors that determine which search results you see (and which you see first). So, I don't rely on any forms of SEO to be a magic bullet, These things do help them categorize, (title, h1, h2, h3 etc..) but good content and relevance is the only silver bullet.

They are common practices and really work well on getting the job done within development teams. In regards to the development/staging/production environments, you should make sure that only one maybe two people are responsible for pushing code to at least production. Too many people pushing code could really screw something up. I noticed that you said your application is somewhat modular. This can play to your benefit as you can separate a large task by assigning a person to take care of front end work, while another can take care of back end work. It keeps the team talking with one another as well as can keep toes from being stepped on during the development cycle. Basically you work on this and you work on that and let it come together in the end. -Pat On Tue, Oct 20, 2009 at 7:26 AM, Cutter (ColdFusion) cold.fus...@cutterscrossing.com wrote: There are several things that I would suggest, in moving from a single developer to team development dynamic: Source Control is critical (personal pref - VSS doesn't cut it, go to SVN or Git) Developers should/must setup/maintain their own development environments Development and initial testing should be done locally (on user's desktop), QA and final testing on a centralized staging server, then finally deploy to production Local, Staging, and Production environments should match each other as closely as possible Establish a good set of Coding Guidelines, that everyone on the team must follow going forward Write standardized naming conventions (in your Coding Guidelines) of variables, directory and file structure, db architecture, HTML id's and classes, etc. Steve Cutter Blades Adobe Certified Professional Advanced Macromedia ColdFusion MX 7 Developer Co-Author of Learning Ext JS http://www.packtpub.com/learning-ext-js/book _ http://blog.cutterscrossing.com On 10/20/2009 8:13 AM, Eric Cobb wrote: A friend of mine originally asked this question on LinkedIn's ColdFusion Programmers group but didn't get much response, so I told him I would post it here to see what you guys thought.

RE: Mail problem
Good luck with Yahoo. We had the same issue for over two years now. We have issues with emails in regards to customer orders, membership questions, and support information. No newsletter or anything like that. We try to email the customer, only to find out that they did not get our email because they call us. We have followed every suggestion Yahoo recommends and nothing works. Then, some of the emails would be deferred, some not. When we had the same issue with AOL, I was able to actually communicate with some via email to help resolve the issue. Not some template email like Yahoo sends out. We just tell our customers that Yahoo is incepting their emails, reading them, and not allowing you to receive them. Then, the customer will call us the same day with their email address change. -Original Message- From: Al Musella, DPM [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 14, 2008 1:25 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Mail problem I send out an opt-in medical newsletter.. that adheres to all of the rules.. recently yahoo blocked the from address from sending mail - no bounce backs - not put in spam folder - just deleted, for ALL mail going to yahoo.com.. from this email address. They do this occasionally, and I fill out the form to remove me from the blacklist, and a week or so later, it works again for a while, then they block us again. I get a lot of complaints from people who don't get it.. I found a strange work around: apparently, that one email address is blocked. Not the domain name. I changed the FROM and the mail gets through. I am wondering - what would happen if I sent it from a different address each day? or even perhaps a different address for each email? I know not having that specific FROM address in their address book might make it go to their spam folder, but at least they could find it there. As it is now - they have no hope of getting it. On a related note - I have a feedback loop set up with AOL. I get a handful of people every day hitting the this message is SPAM button. I then email them to tell them I removed them from the mailing list, and they usually say they didn't intend to be removed - they were just trying to delete it after they read it. Can people be this stupid? I then tell them they will be permanently banned if it ever happens again.

RE: HELP! SQL Injection Attack!
Any recommendations for web app firewall? I have worked with Netscreen network firewall for years. -Original Message- From: Dave Watts [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 07, 2008 9:01 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: HELP! SQL Injection Attack! I'd like to know how I can stop the requests from ever hitting the web-server. Can anyone point me at a resource for a firewall solution? I've seen some isapi filter solutions, but they all seem to just clean the querystring and then forward the request on -- so it's still hitting CF. I'd really like to stop it before we get to the web-server at all (let alone the CF application server). You'd need a web application firewall for this.

RE: Money datatype in SQL Server
Well... I use the money datatype in SQL server for our prices. I have had not issues. When we output, we use #dollarformat(queryname.price)#. Works for what we do. -Original Message- From: Charlie Griefer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 10, 2008 9:23 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Money datatype in SQL Server Is there any bottom line recommendation on using the Money datatype in SQL Server? I've googled and found a lot of folks say not to use it because of accuracy issues (and of course, the fact that it's proprietary), but I haven't seen any that suggest a better alternative. My understanding is that Money is exactly the same as Decimal(19,4)... so if there are accuracy issues with Money, wouldn't those same issues exist with a Decimal datatype? I saw one link that suggested that Floats would be the most accurate... but I thought floats were inherently *not* accurate. Can anybody shed a bit of light? Thanks!
