Re: CF clustering with Standard version vs Enterprise version
We always had good luck with hardware load balancers from Coyote Point, managing connections to 4 or 5 clustered web servers. For apps that needed to maintain seamless persistence, we used client vars (stored in the central DB), which allows the application to keep a running connection to a user even when the server they were on gets dropped from the cluster. There is some overhead with client vars, like having to WDDX non-simple variables, but it really worked very very well. ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Re: How to display LARGE amounts of Data in a Timely Fashion
If you're putting the data on 10 different tabs, then only call or render the data for the first one and use DHTML / Ajax to load the each other tab only when a user clicks on it. Basically, it's slow right now simply because the size of the HTML document being returned to the user is probably over a MB of data ... simply takes time to stream it from the web server and assemble it on the desktop. If you only render 1/10 of the table (i.e., one tab), the overall file size will be much smaller and you should notice a significant improvement in speed. Then each tab click can just call an Ajax function to populate the new tab with the right data and the user will only have to wait for that 2nd 10th of data to be rendered. ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

re: selecting different template based on file name
The error means that InvoiceTemplateType_Key is a column in both tables, so you have to let the database know which one you actually want. Use your table aliases: cfquery name=qgetcreditnotetemplate datasource=#request.dsn# SELECT IT.InvoiceTemplate_FileName, IT.InvoiceTemplateType_Key, I.Invoive_Key FROM InvoiceTemplate IT, INVOICE I WHERE I.IINVOICE_Key = #url.invoice# AND IT.InvoiceTemplateType_Key = 1 /cfquery Looks like you're not JOINing your tables either, which could be pretty bad in both performance and results, and please be sure you're using CFQUERYPARAM in actual code to screen that URL variable.

Re: (ot) SVN Question
Totally agree with Cameron on this. One of the great benefits of version control is that you can continue to monitor development changes while still only pushing updates to production when the whole set of changes is ready to go. I may have a set of changes that takes several days to code, for example, but I don't want to go home each night with today's work living *only* on my hard drive, so I commit to SVN every day (or several times per day). That way, I get my backups and change history, but I can still refrain from pushing to production until the new functionality is entirely complete and tested. That's one of the core benefits of version control, IMHO. ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

re: Quick question on cflock...
If you are on CF8+, then my understanding is that locking READ functions is no longer required.

Or was it is CFMX 7 that made the READ lock less important? ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Re: Quick question on cflock...
Thanks for the clarification, Charlie. Something in the back of my mind was hollering CF7 at the end of that last post, which is what made me post that last caveat. Your point about the race conditions is the key, definitely. In most of my apps, the chance of a race condition within the SESSION scope is nearly zero, but in an app that might set session vars in an iFrame or with an Ajax call, there could clearly be a chance of a race on read/write, and that's where a lock would be invaluable, no matter what version of CF. ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

RE: Quick question on cflock...
On CF8, following Charlie's response earlier, you do NOT need a READ lock, unless you think there could be race conditions (a pending Ajax call that writes the var you're trying to read, for example). If you DO need to lock, then, yes, the lock would go *outside* of the CFIF statement, since the cfif arrayLen(session.var) is a READ function. ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

re: CFC's.. Why use them?
Just a quick thought: If, for example, you are building reusable, singleton components (sorry for the OO buzzwords, but it is descriptive terminology), then you can load those CFCs into Application scope and have them exist in memory only once but still be used across all requests in the app. An include, by contrast, has to be rendered anew each time the outer template is called. In other words, using components makes it easier to encapsulate functionality, but there is otherwise little *functional* difference. ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Re: CFTRANSACTION with MS Access Database
try / catch is still the right way to capture errors, but if it's inside the transaction, then the TR won't fire. if this isn't working, though, then I gotta question whether Access supports transaction locking at all? It's been years since I used it, so I can't vouch one way or the other ... ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

re: Invalid parameter binding - again!
Don't put ' marks around CFQUERYPARAM ... it already handles that for you. Also, you were missing pound signs around several of the params.

Re: Alternatives to multiple 'if/else if' statements
cfswitch / cfcase is the way to go ... except that it won't do a CONTAINS for you, only a string or list element match. That being said, if you can do a string match (instead of a partial string match), then a single cfswitch has better performance than 30 cfif tests ... ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Re: Encrypt/Decrypt error
Your example shows the same input for decrypt as you used for encrypt ... hopefully that was just a typo, otherwise it's probably your issue. (decrypt) decrypt(FORM.password,request.seed,request.algorithm,request.encoding) In other words, I would expect something more like this: encPwd = encrypt(FORM.password, request.seed, request.algorithm, request.encoding); pwd = decrypt(encPwd, request.seed, request.algorithm, request.encoding); decrypt() is expecting string which is already encoded with the requested algorithm. Just a thought. ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Re: cfif, cfifelse problem... Invalid token 'apos;'...
Just because I can't help myself, you may find the whole thing more readable, and easier to maintain with a CFSWITCH statement in place of all those ELSE's. Also probably more performant with only parsing the string once or twice per loop. cfoutput query=Recordset1 cfset route = Invalid cfswitch expression=#mid(current_route_id, 1, 2)# cfcase value=01 cfset route = Phoenix /cfcase cfcase value=02 cfset route = P /cfcase cfcase value=03 cfset route = M /cfcase cfcase value=04 cfset route = S /cfcase cfcase value=05 cfset route = T /cfcase cfcase value=07 cfset route = X /cfcase cfcase value=08 cfset route = PU /cfcase cfcase value=09 cfset route = UPS /cfcase cfcase value=10 cfset route = G /cfcase cfcase value=11 cfset route = Inactive /cfcase cfcase value=A0 cfif listFindNoCase(A01,A02,A03,A04, mid(current_route_id, 1, 3)) cfset route = mid(current_route_id, 1, 3) / /cfif /cfcase /cfswitch !-- Outputs the variables in Recordset in a table -- /cfoutput ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

re: cfquery
I think you want it this way, using a CASE statement for the leadmgr column. I also moved all your subselects into left joins, which should give a bit better performance. cfquery datasource=askseaton name=getOffices result=varibles select s.address + ' ' + s.address2 + ' ' + s.address3 + ',' + s.city + ',' + s.state + ',' + s.city as office_address, leadmgr = case when (lm.user_id is null) then lm.lead_note else lm.first + ' ' + lm.last end, amr.first + ' ' + amr.last as director, sn.first + ' ' + sn.last as SDIRNDIR, vp.first + ' ' + vp.last as VICEPRE, fm.first + ' ' + fm.last as FASTMGR from sourcebook_1 s left outer join user_info lm on s.lead_mgr = lm.user_id left outer join user_info amr on s.area_mgr_rdo = amr.user_id left outer join user_info sn on s.sdir_ndir = sn.user_id left outer join user_info vp on s.vice_pre = vp.user_id left outer join user_info fm on s.fast_mgr = fm.user_id where active = 1 and office_id not in (36,37,38,73) order by office_number /cfquery ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Not a surprise, really.

Re: Comparisons - Your thoughts
I have long been in the habit of using EQ and NEQ (and now moving to == and !=)
for numbers in all cases, since there is no such thing as 'sort of equivalent',
like there is with strings ('foo IS FOO' etc). For strings I use IS, unless
case is important, and then I use CompareNoCase().

Re: aggregate query problems
I think you need an outside table that has just your 4 language_groups in it, and then LEFT OUTER JOIN to ensure you get at least one record for each language, with the COUNT()s that can be zero.
