Re: Getting windows explorer to search ColdFusion files

Nope.  However, if a 3rd party tool is okay, SuperiorSearch does okay for me.

And yet it's a common occurrence.  I'm currently being forced through a .NET 
training video that compares a really *badly* made CF application to a .NET 
equivalent to show us dumb yokels why .NET is so much better.  

The .net developers where I work can at least see the light.  I shown more then 
a couple CF-based object oriented applications and gotten "I didn't know you 
could do that in Coldfusion" in return. 

Managers, I think, are hopeless, though.  I've had good success at talking to 
other developers and making honest comparisons between the two.  Higher up you 
go, at least in my experience, the harder it is to break through the "I know 
what I know and don't bother me about details" mindset. 

Or maybe I'm just cynical.  Been known to happen...

Re: Powerbuilder 10 and CF7.01

2006-10-26 Thread Matt Osbun
We've built a large portion of our internal applications in PB6.5, and it's 
worked great for us.  Gonna be sad to see it (and CF) go when we consolidate on 
.NET.

I've looked into this a bit more.  Thanks to whomever it was who suggested a 
GET request- I'll pass that along to the Powerbuilder developer that I'm 
working with.

I took a look at some form dumps now that I'm back from a bout with the flu.  
This app is doing something that I didn't know was possible- there are 
duplicate variable names in the form scope, with different values.  

 shows two enteries for cert_nbr- one with a certificate 
number, one with an empty string (because of the cfparam default to empty 
string).  When I dump #IsDefined("form.cert_nbr")# before the cfparams, I get a 
"No" result, even though the form dump at that point has cert_nbr with its 
correct value in it.  When I dump the form scope after the cfparams, that's 
when the duplicate variable names show up.

Powerbuilder 10 and CF7.01

2006-10-23 Thread Matt Osbun
We are currently upgrading a Powerbuilder application from (I believe)
6 to Powerbuilder 10.  Part of the application involves a set of data
that is posted to a Coldfusion application.  This pairing has been
working for years, up until the migration to Powerbuilder 10.

The CF app params a set of form variables without default values-
therefore those values must be a part of the Powerbuilder post to CF.
Initially, the CF app was throwing the following error:  "The required
parameter FORM.[varName] was not provided.This page uses the CFPARAM
tag to declare the parameter FORM.[varName] as required for this
template. The parameter is not available."

In order to verify the data that was posted, I added default values to
the params, and had the app email me a dump of the form scope.  The
app has no output, so email was the way to go.
When I got the email, the form scope had all the correct data in all
the correct variables, however, the application was acting as if all
of the form variables had the default value (empty strings).  To make
matters more interesting, when I copy the data from the email of the
form dump, and paste into a form that posts to the CF app, I get the
expected results.

I'm thinking that this is an issue with the way Powerbuilder 10 is
posting to Coldfusion, but I've never heard of anything like this, and
I couldn't find anything on Google to help out.  Any thoughts?

cfx_pdf installation help

I'm running into a frustrating problem with the cfx_pdf tag.  Easel2
Software isn't answering their helpline, but promises that I can leave
them a message and get an answer back by mid next week.  Hopefully
someone here can get me a quicker answer...

As the install directions say to do, I've put the CFX_PDF.jar file in
the CFusion7/cfx/java folder and added
"d:\CFusionMX7\cfx\java\CFX_PDF.jar" to the Coldfusion Class Path in
the Coldfusion Administrator.  Then I registered the CFX tag, noting
that the classname is case sensitive and should be uppercase.

The error I receive when trying to use this tag is "CFX_CFX_PDF not
found in the custom tag database", which, according to the FAQ, means
that I have not added the .jar file to the cfx/java folder and added
the path to the .jar file in the Classpath.

Here's the rub- this same setup works on my Dev machine and on the
test server.  Same versions of Coldfusion (7 w/ latest service packs),
same OS (Windows 2003 w/ IIS 6).  I don't even know what to try
anymore.  It doesn't help that I don't know much about Java, so if
anyone has any answers, please phrase them simply.  :)

As for the first, Coldfusion 7 Standard.  Sorry I didn't mention that
initially.

As for the second... Mostly because of this:
"java.sql.SQLException: Use of Macromedia JDBC Drivers is restricted.
Drivers can only be used with Macromedia server products. Please check
that your license supports the requested driver.
The root cause was that: java.sql.SQLException: Use of Macromedia JDBC
Drivers is restricted. Drivers can only be used with Macromedia server

Which never seemed a problem before, as the Thin was good enough.  The
vast majority of our CF querying is done with SQL Server.

I'm no expert on PL/SQL, so I'm hoping I'm missing something easy here.
I've got a Oracle 8i stored procedure with two parameters- a varchar IN
and a ref cursor OUT.  

Testing it out, I'm using:







I'm using an ODBC datasource because, according to the docs, you must
use cfprocresult to get a ref cursor from Oracle 8, and can't use
cfprocresult with Oracle's ThinClient JDBC drivers.

The error I'm getting:

2005-09-29 Thread Matt Osbun
Hrmmm... Hadn't thought of that.  Wondered about that >= in your
version.

As you guessed, quoteid is an Int Identity Seed Primary Key,
autoincrementing, sequential and all that.  The conditions you mentioned
aren't an issue *in this case*, as the table is pretty static, but
you're right- the >= approach is a better design.  

Thanks.

Assuming quoteid is the primary key, that will cause issues if you
ever delete a quote (or have non-contiguous values for some other
reason).  Doing a >= won't affect randomness if that scenario doesn't
exist, but if it does, it'll prevent zero-row results.  This is the
main reason for using a separate field, as quite frequently records
get deleted, which makes the primary key unsuitable.

And good call on round.  Did I mention I'm not a MSSQL guy?  ;)  MySQL
defaults the second param to zero if you omit it.

Really close to something I use for a Random Quote Of The Day sort of
thing.

DECLARE @RowId as int
SET @RowId = round(rand() * (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM Results),0);
SELECT TOP 1 author, quote

You need the second parameter in the Round() function to determin

Subject: Re: Every once in a while, I feel smart. A story of displaying
a single random image.


If you don't need perfectly randomized results (and you usually
don't), there are much more efficient ways to do this.  Probably the
easiest is to assign each row a sequential number, index the column,
and then do this:

SET @offset = round(rand() * (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM myTable));
SELECT TOP 1 *
FROM myTable
WHERE sequenceID >= @offset

Not sure that'll run (it's untested, and I'm not an MSSQL guy), but
you get the idea.  The cost, in this scenario, is in maintaining the
sequential number list.  I've found running script to rebuild the
sequence (making sure to remove the index first, and put it back
afterwards), every day or so to work quite well.  The performance is
excellent since no sorting or per-record value generation needs to
take place at SELECT time.

This algorithm also allows you to avoid ever returning duplicates (set
sequenceID = NULL after pulling a record), and weight the different
records (make the sequence use different size steps, rather than
always one).

I create a list from form variables that I want to use in a query.

This is where it fails to delete the records (though the query produces

Delete from optomSitePhotos

The list is: photo1.jpg,photo2.gif or 'photo1.jpg,'photo2.jpg'

to matter.

The single quotes around #qualDelPhotoList# in the query is required or

Any ideas how to make this work?

This isn't the first article from dotnet.sys-con.com that was horribly
written and lifted directly from Microsoft marketing material.  I seem
to remember a CF vs. .NET "Unbiased Comparison" from this site a couple
months ago that was along the same lines.

Keep in mind that this is a .Net Developer's Journal.  Everything
written in it will be from that POV.  I expect actual developers will
continue to do what we have always done (or at least should).  Evaluate
each tool as it comes along, use when necessary, shelve when not.  It's

To Kevin and Matthew --

Thanks for the references.

To others, particularly Matt, since he's the one who raised the real
issue --

I'm well aware of BD .NET and its advantages. I've had lunch with
Charlie Arehart and Brian O'Reilly. (And for that matter, Brian called
me a few minutes ago because of this post).

But while I wouldn't characterize the situation exactly as Matt did,
it does seem (at the moment) as if the determination is that the CF
code base will be replaced. I intend to discuss Blue Dragon as an
option with this client. But my current guess is that he will choose
to rewrite the applications to eliminate the CFML.

If that's the final decision, then we will need to be writing C#, I
guess.

And if we get to that point -- does anyone else have any other
suggestions for the best books/courses/online resources?

If the issue is that the applications need to use the .NET framework,
then is BlueDragon.NET an option?

Or is the issue is that CIO in question is one who believes that web
applications "Don't really work" and "Aren't really professional" if
they aren't built in ASP...

I guess I'm asking, is it really the framework that's at issue, or is it
a manager who doesn't know to separate the framework from the language

Hi,

We have a long-time client who has a new CIO, and he has decided that
the CF applications which we have built for them over the past three
years will be migrated to the .NET framework.

This isn't a debatable decision, so I'm not asking for ammunition
against the change. It's going to happen.

Fortunately, it appears as if they will allow us to make the
migration, since we know both their business and the existing apps.
Unfortunately, we have not been developing applications using .NET.

So -- what resources would you folks suggest for CF Developers needing
to learn to use the .NET framework? Adam and David Churvis have
offered a class specifically for this purpose in the past, but they
don't seem to have one scheduled at the moment. I'll try to contact
them directly.

Books, online resources (including MS, of course), whatever. What's
been helpful to you?

RE: OT - Security Of Sensitive Data

2005-08-08 Thread Matt Osbun
Here's a link to a whitepaper on the subject of HIPAA's Final Security
Rule.

http://www.hipaadvisory.com/regs/finalsecurity/summaryanalysis.htm

While I don't know one way or another if there's source code mandate in
the Security Rule, under the Technical Safeguards header, it says that
covered entities must implement 

"Policies and procedures to protect EPHI from improper alteration or
destruction to ensure data integrity. This integrity standard is coupled
with one addressable implementation specification for a mechanism to
corroborate that EPHI has not been altered or destroyed in an
unauthorized manner."

In all liklihood, a HIPAA auditor would consider a company in breach of
that clause if EPHI (Electronic Personal Health Information) were in the
hands of a 3rd party vendor, unless the standards in the next header
"Business Associate Contracts" were maintained.  Quoting:

"For relationships where a third party is used to create, receive,
maintain or transmit EPHI on the covered entity's behalf, the Security
Rule requires the business associate to:

* Implement administrative, physical and technical safeguards that
reasonably and appropriately protect the confidentiality, integrity and
availability of the covered entity's EPHI;

* Ensure that its agents and subcontractors to whom it provides EPHI
meet the same standard;

* Report to the covered entity any security incident of which it
becomes aware; and

* Ensure that the contract authorizes termination if the business
associate has violated a material term."

The thing is, if HIPAA is handled the way Sarbanes-Oxley and DCAA
(Defense Contracter Auditing Agency) are handled, what you have is a
broad set of guidelines, and an auditing team that determines whether or
not you are following those guidelines.  I've only gone through one
SarBox audit, but with the DCAA, the standards of what is and is not
acceptable vary wildly from site to site, and from audit team to audit
team.

Just some thoughts.

I am not very familiar with HIPAA reglations, but it sounds like 
they are something like the procedural and technical guidelines 
from the Dutch Data Protection Authority. Those guidelines 
mandate that if you store class 2 or higher personal data (lots 
of relatively harmless data like name and address, or a little 
bit of sensitive data like health records), you need to have 
access to the source code of every piece of software you use to 
process that data.
Does the HIPAA mandate something similar?

Disclaimer: I'm not a lawyer.  I do work in the Healthcare industry,
however, and until recently, my wife did as well.  All in all, this is
my non-legally-binding opinion.

If you are going to use a third-party host, make sure *no* information
is personally identifiable.  ESPECIALLY if diagnosis or diagnosis codes
are involved.  No SSN's, no names, no addresses, etc.

I assume your contract with CrystalTech includes an NDA?  Find out if
that's going to be enough to cover you in the event that a CT employee
reads and shares your data.  I'm *not* implying anything about CT, their
business, their practices, or their employees.  That's merely something
to keep in mind.

Find and talk to a lawyer who is familiar with HIPAA and IT.  That may
take some doing, but it'd be worth it.

If I sound like I'm going just a tad overboard, it's for a reason.  I've
seen (seperately) a large chain of medical facilities (Name obviously
withheld) nearly forced to close its doors permanantly due to HIPPA
violations, and the executive management of an HMO (ditto) mass-sacked
and replaced to avoid a similar fate.  HIPAA regulators aren't screwing
around.

XML Form question

2005-08-05 Thread Matt Osbun
I've recently begun updating one of our web apps- adding some new
features, improving the coding style, and taking advantage of some of
the new CF7 features.

One form was laid out in a nested-table layout, with HTML and CFM
controls mixed in.  I rewrote it using a CF7 XML format with cfformgroup
tags, and execution time went through the roof.  I rewrote the queries
on the page to use cached results, and managed to get execution time
down to about 11000 ms, on average, according to the debug information.

I changed the format back to HTML, and execution time sank to about 250
ms.

I chopped the form down to a very bare-bones layout, but the execution
time increace was roughly the same.

Now, there's nothing requiring me to use an XML format here, so I'll
likely switch to HTML and replace the table layout with DIV's.  The
Label attribute of cfinput and  are convieniences, to be
sure, but not requirements.  I'm just curious to see if anyone else has
seen this.  Is this normal, or is there likely a misconfiguration on my
server?  I'd expect a performance hit using XML format versus HTML, but
the scale I'm seeing seems a bit excessive.

SOT: Full-Text Index

2005-07-29 Thread Matt Osbun
That's trolling as in "Fishing", rather than "Being nasty just to get a
rise out of people" ;)

I have a need to create some sort of keyword-searchable index for a CF
application, so that the user can enter a person's first and last name
into a form and search on it.  I'm not particular as to what kind, just
something better than various permutations of 
"where lastname like '%#form.lastname#%' and firstname like
'#form.firstname#%'..."

The data we get in is from various thrid parties, and is choick full o'
errors- misspellings, lastname in the firstname column, first name
omitted, etc.  Unless someone knows better- and I'm not claiming to be
an expert- a database full-text index or a Verity collection seems to be
the way to go.

Problem is, the data is stored in an Oracle 8i database which, to the
best of my knowledge and efforts, does not support full-text indexing.  

Second problem:  Indexing a Verity collection is taking about 3 hours.
I've only used Verity to index files in a folder, but I don't remember
it taking near this long to do- even with folders with large numbers of
files.  There will be times when the collection would need to be
reindexed over the course of the day- three hours is way too long.

So first of all, here's the query and code I'm using to index the
collection.  Am I doing something incorrectly that is causing such a
long index time?


select id, trim(firstname)|| ' ' || trim(lastname) AS FullName
FROM people 
WHERE level1org=2000 and status='a'




The query returns just over 48,000 rows, and is using an index on
Level1org and status, FWIW.

Barring someone pointing out something I've missed with the Verity
collection or presenting some other method that I haven't thought of, my
only other idea is to schedule a DTS package to import the table into
SQL Server and create a full-text index there.  The DTS Package would
have to run periodically thoughout the day to catch any updates or new
records in the Oracle table, which would also mean reindexing the SQL
Server full-text index.  There ought to be a better solution than that.

Just for the record, permanantly storing the People table in SQL Server
isn't an option, nor is an Oracle upgrade.

Incidently- the most recent  finished up while writing this.

RE: ColdFusion Exam

2005-07-21 Thread Matt Osbun
I gave myself a week, but that was mostly because of a reduced-price
offer for tests that were scheduled within the next week.  But then, I
had been using CF for awhile, and mostly just needed to get a feel for
the types of questions asked, and for the changes between CF5 and CFMX.
I hate to say it, but how long you give yourself to study depends on how
familiar you are with the material already.  A good rule I've seen from
every decent test prep center I've been to is to study until you can
consistently score 90%+ on practice exams.

I used CF Exam Buster and was pretty happy with it.  I kind of looked
through the CF7 version, and the thing that stuck out in my mind was the
fact that the set of test questions I saw covered very little of the
major changes from MX6.1 to 7.  I don't remember seeing anything on the
new capabilities of CFFORM, the CFDOCUMENT tag, or the Report Builder.
Maybe the evaluation question set wasn't well representative of the
whole, I don't know.

RE: Flash form doesn't display

2005-07-21 Thread Matt Osbun
IIRC, the CFADMIN\CFIDE\scripts folder needs to be accessible to the web
folder where your form resides.  The scriptSrc attribute in cfform can
do this, as well as mapping a virtual directory in the webspace.

What your describing sounds like the same problems I run into when I try
to use a Flash form in a webspace that can't access
CFADMIN\CFIDE\scripts

Go a little further into the article to page 8, where ColdFusion and

Or maybe a little earlier in the article, where the author discusses

How would you get a user to input their date of birth when using a flash
form?

Cfinput with a type of datefield would seem obvious but how could you
select the year without clicking back through the months?

In a normal form I would just use drop downs for the day, month and
year with some javascript to check for invalid dates, but that seems
to be out when using flash.

Any suggestions?

Matt,

How exactly have you configured these date/time fields?  The fields I
refer to were created via a cfquery statement, as in


CREATE TABLE myfile (
  ID COUNTER not NULL PRIMARY KEY,
  PostDate datetime NULL ,
  ModDate datetime NULL ,
);


As such whatever happens in the field config has to come about via SQL
and can't be set from within Access (although I would be curious to
hear if thats what it takes).

This is one of the few problems I haven't had with using cfqueryparam
with Access.

With a two-field Access table- an Autonumbering ID field as PK and
TheDate as a Date field:


insert into TestTable (TheDate)
VALUES ()


And


insert into TestTable (TheDate)
VALUES ()


Both inserted correctly and


update TestTable set TheDate = 
where id=1


Updated correctly.

Access will explode on contact with ANY date field when you try to use
cfqueryparam on it.  None of the cfsqltypes work so you have to write

That being said, I can do a lot more than imagine production systems
running off of Access.  I can point to a couple.  Production Intranet,
Online Training/Presentations, Forums, and probably a few other things
I'm forgetting (blocking?).  I wouldn't bother to take them into account
for something like this, but that's me.

WHAT?!?

Actually I shouldn't laugh.  When I saw the first one of these several
years ago I actually called the local branch of the US Secret Service
to report it.  I got about three lines into the description and the
case officer interrupted me with a very bored "Yeah yeah its in
Nigeria, right?"  Followed by "we know.  Don't worry about it."

I'm sure they are still in hot pursuit of that lead.

That's what I used as a prep.  It was pretty good at pointing out a lot
of the changes between CF5 and CFMX- I had never used CFMX before the
test, so that was important.  Good mix of questions, and a large enough
list of questions that it took awhile before I got to the point where I
was doing well simply because I'd seen the questions a few times
before...  ;)

I think the actual test was noticeably harder though, but maybe I just

Hello all,

 

Couldn't really think of a better place to ask this question.

 

I have a friend who is a designer but is interested in beginning to
learn CF.

 

He is pretty quick at picking up new concepts etc and of course I can
help him quite a bit.

 

However, it has been so long since I looked into beginner level CF / SQL
books that I don't even know where to start him.

 

Can anyone recommend some good beginner CF and MS SQL books?

 

Does the CF WACK contain this kind of information?

 

It's important to highlight the fact that he doesn't really have any
previous knowledge of web DEVELOPMENT, so something that is meant for
true beginners is preferable.

 

Thanks everyone!

RE: CFMX: Dissed by Breeze and FlashLite?

2005-05-03 Thread Matt Osbun
Which is kinda my point.  I've seen a general problem with the
perception of CF- not just in one person, or a small group- but the vast
majority of the IT Decision-Making types I've come across regard CF as a
toy that you'd never use in 'Real Life'.  One IT Director was openly
amazed that an Intranet could be build and secured in ColdFusion.
Another IT Manager asked me when we were going to "graduate to the big
leagues" and move to .ASP for security reasons.  These people weren't
just bashing non-MS products- they just had an incorrect view of CF.


The thread (kinda) started out on marketing CF, and in my experience,
this has always been a glaring weakness in how CF is perceived.

They are not. There is an incredible amount of CF use within the Navy,
and I
myself have visited lots of Navy sites briefing them on CFMX7. There
will
always be the occasional voice of doubt and opposition, but in general,
the
Navy is using CF on both public and secure sites (and even on local
networks
running on ships!).

Matt,

I think you are correct about your old boss. He was most likely
referring to
a certification and accreditation process for the server.
Anything that runs on a secure government network must be approved
before it
use. Maybe at that time the Navy hadn't approved CF.

Working for the Department of State (and currently writing the documents
to
get CFMX7 approved for use) it's not a hard task. It's just a pain and
requires alot of documentation.

Right now, only Flash Player 6 is approved for use. However that does
not
mean to say that Flash Player 7 isn't secure. It just means no one has
taken
the time to write up the appropriate papers.

I can also say I personally know that CF is being used heavily in DoD
and
DHS. Heck DoD deployed Breeze to mobile communication units in the
field.
DoD is known for being the first in the government to embrace
technology, so
I'm not sure why the Navy would be any different.

Based on my experience:

One issue that, IMO, can stand some increased awareness is security.  If
I had a nickel for every time I had to sit through a "ColdFusion is
inherently insecure" lecture from some manager with a self-assumed
programming background, I wouldn't be a programmer.  I'd just buy
Microsoft and retire.  *I* know that you can develop secure web
applications in ColdFusion- or insecure ones, if you so decide.  And *I*
know that the mindset of "If it's Microsoft, it's automatically secure"
is a load of rubbish.  This isn't MS-bashing, either.  A web-app is as
secure or insecure as the practices of the developer(s).  Sometimes, I
feel like I'm the only one who's figured this out, though.

I've even been told that the U.S. Navy (I used to work for a government
contracting company) won't touch CF because it isn't Certified Secure-
whatever that's supposed to mean.  Now, that being said, the manager who
told me that had a well-deserved reputation for making stuff up when he
didn't have any facts at hand, or when the real fact contradicted his
opinions, but it sums up probably the biggest issue with CF that I've

To turn this already highly flamable thread into something more usefull,
how do people think CF should grow, do you think it needs more
attention? Does it lack important features or should CF be merely a
"keep it alive" product.
 
Looking forward to the merge where people suggested that this allowed
more marketing of the products and where Kevin Lynch stated CF is a core
business product, and looking at the comments posted in this thread,
would it suit CF to be marketed more? Why would they spend more on CF
with marketing if already other products are marketed more? Should CF
even be marketed, with the chance of losing its type of being a "niche
product" ?
 
Would it fit CF if there was a larger community, maybe with a free
standard version of CF and the enterprise version as the product doing
the sales? 
 
Just some food for thought, please discuss this with arguments.

2005-04-29 Thread Matt Osbun
Expanding a little: (And somewhat off topic...)

"If you are not annoying somebody, You're not really Alive"

That is logically equivilent to If ~B Then ~A (If Not B, Then Not A) Or
"If you're not not really alive, then you're not not annying somebody"

Removing the double negatives

"If you're really alive, then you're annoying somebody"

If A Then B is NOT equivilent to If B Then A so 

"If you're really alive, then you're annoying somebody" is
Not equal to "If you're annoying somebody, you're really alive"

So, if Sean is annoying you, it does not logically follow that he is

Dunno if it will meet your needs or not.  It's mostly meant to be an
online shared calendar, but you can make events private to certain
groups or individuals.

IIRC, you can download the encrypted CF templates free, or pay 39.00 USD
for the unencrypted source code.  I paid for the source code about a
year ago for a project that eventually got indefinitely shelved.  It
didn't look too bad, though.  Might take a little custom work, though,

Having some fun with getting CF5 set up on Windows 2003.

Followed the guff in the following MM technote
http://www.macromedia.com/go/tn_18689 to get things underway but the
problem I've got is that the CF service won't stay running.

Attempting to start it just tells me that it starts and then immediately
stops.

Server log gives me the following, which is about as useful as a kick
in the teeth
"Error attempting to start the service."

If I try to start the service as an application rather than a service,
I get the following message
"Error occurred while trying to initialise the service: A problem was
encountered trying to access the system registry. Error number 2
occurred - The specifed registry key does not exist"

Anyone seen this, know how to sort it (other than with a hammer)?

Yeah, kinda sorta.  

Keep in mind, I'm not advocating this as a solution.  I've used it, and
finally decided to merge the databases into one, eliminating the Access
database.

But anyway, for awhile I was in a situation where employee information
was kept in Oracle and employee Intranet accounts were stored in Access.
I ended up creating a link table in Access to the Oracle DB, using an
ODBC reference, and building queries out of the Access tables and the
link table.

We ended up merging the account information into Oracle, though.

Hope this helps.

RE: SQL prob

2005-04-05 Thread Matt Osbun
Can't say I really took it as a "You-Might-Not-Be-Smart-Enough" sort of
thing.  And even if it was, it really wouldn't bother me much.  For one,
generally speaking, I'm pretty careful about my table joins.  For two,
specifically speaking, I can point to a couple instances where I've
annoyed the heck out of a DBA by forgetting to join a couple of million+
record tables before running the query.  

Point is, mistakes happen and if a particular method can help prevent
them, that's worth keeping in mind.  Should it be the only concern?
Certainly not, but other factors being more or less equal, I'm all for
something that will keep a minor mistake into becoming a larger problem.

Anyway, thanks for the responses, all.

Once again, someone pops in with this reason for doing something. It
troubles me that this manner of thinking is so prevalent, as it most
certainly means it's come about from actual experiences dealing with
people.

I don't feel that this sort of because-you-might-not-be-smart-enough
type of argument is a good reason to do anything one way or another. I'm
not taking a shot at you here Dave, far from it, but it seems that every
time someone asks "why shouldn't I do x this way," someone points out
that a good reason has to do with the fact that people won't be able to
do it right or won't be able to understand... Are people getting LESS
capable out there or are we just accepting their (I should say "our" to
include myself or just drop the possessive altogether) inadequacies more
willingly or what? On the other hand, I suppose we could be ascribing
inadequacies to people unfairly, though I rather doubt it.

My argument on these type of things is always along the lines of "do it
the way it works and performs best and if someone else isn't
smart/good/experienced enough to 'get it' then they should learn more."

Does this bother anyone else, or is it just me? It could easily be just
me; I've had it up to here with people in general this morning. If it

One advantage of explicit JOIN syntax is that it eliminates the
possibility
of an accidental Cartesian product or cross join. If you have a query
with
three or four tables joined within the WHERE clause, you might forget
one of
your joins and the query will run successfully, but will fetch a
Cartesian
product (which you typically don't want, and which will typically annoy
your
DBA). If you use explicit JOIN syntax, you will get an error message if
you
forget a join, which is a much better result.

Personally, I prefer explicit JOIN syntax because I find it a bit easier
to
read, although admittedly I used to find the old syntax easy to read as
well.

RE: SQL prob

2005-04-05 Thread Matt Osbun
Why?  Not a challenge, but a question.  Using *= or (+) always seemed,
at least to me, quicker, easier, and easier to read afterward.

Now, I admit that I mostly got into the habit because, until fairly
recently, I was stuck on an Oracle platform that was too old to use
INNER JOIN/LEFT JOIN, but how much does it really matter?

This is the OLD way to perform a join - it should be avoided.

Another way

SELECT r.eventID, d.title
FROM Events r,EventDescription d
WHERE d.eventID *= r.eventID

You are using an INNER JOIN - you need to use a LEFT JOIN I believe.


SELECT r.eventID, d.title
FROM Events r
LEFT JOIN EventDescription d
ON WHERE d.eventID = r.eventID

SQL Server 7.


 SELECT r.eventID, d.title
   FROM Events r,
EventDescription d
  WHERE d.eventID = r.eventID


This query only returns rows from "Events" table that have eventID
present in "EventDescription" table. I need to return ALL rows from
Events table whether thay have a description or not.

As ever, thanks in advance,
Dave

RE: Flash Form woes

2005-03-30 Thread Matt Osbun
On Mike Nimer's advice, I ran 

Remove_ALL_connectors.bat
IIS_connector.bat

Out of the %cfusion%/bin/connectors folder, and the problem went away.
Apparantly CF wasn't properly talking to IIS.

Thanks again, Mike.

The cursor always being the clock and the data not populating are the
same issues I'm having on one of my servers. It's driving me insane.
I've installed and reinstalled to no avail. This is all working on my
dev and staging boxes, but not on my production machine. Also, it's
working on ONE of the websites on my production machine, but not the
others. (yes, the cfide folder IS available from them.)

Subject: Flash Form woes

We just installed Coldfusion 7 on one of our webservers, and I've just
started using the new form capabilities- specifically Flash format and
the  and  tags.  I've been copying example code
from various locations (CF docs, cfform.com, etc) and running them on
our server, and I've noticed that the forms do not act the same when the
code is run on our server.
 
Specifically:
 does not actually display the text.  For
instance, Pets: does
not display the text "Pets".
 
 is ignoring  tags.  When I tried to use Ron Pasch 's
Flash "Slush Box", the code  

Sue Hove
Simon Slooten
Ron Pasch

created a multi-select box, but did not populate the specified values.
 
And to top it off, the cursor on the form is always the Clock- as if
something else is trying to load, but can't.  Which is leading me to
believe that either something is misconfigured on the server, or just
plain not installed, but for the life of me, I can't figure out what.
 
What am I missing?

RE: Setting up MySql Data Source

2005-03-28 Thread Matt Osbun
I ran into this problem a few months ago, unfortunately at a previous
job, so I don't have access to all my documents/notes/DL'd files for
fixing this.
Basically though, if you are using a version of MySQL later than (I
think) 4.0, you may need to download a different connector than what
CF6.1 provides pre-packaged.  
Try downloading the lastest from
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/ and following the instructions
at http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_19170

Hope this helps

Actually I checked the port at 3306 and that appears fine. I am using

and even created the database I will be using. I am trying to set up a

do I have to change the port?

Rick- yes, there is a Javascript For Dummies.  

I first encountered JavaScript using Thau's JavaScript Tutorial at
Webmonkey.  Might want to give it a try- it's a good first brush kind of
