RE: Multiple data sources in one query?
That depends. If for example the datasources point to two different databases on the same server for which the login for the datasource used in the cfquery tag has access to both it is trivial. Or if they are on two different servers joined by a linked server and the user has access to both. Example Database a on server 1 Database b on server 2 both allow login by user bob There is a link set up on the data base server between the two or they are on the same server Datasource x points to database a Datasource y points to database b cfquery name=REQUEST.qSelectFromAandB datasource=x SELECT table1.firstcolumn, table2.firstcolumn FROM a.dbo.table1 AS table1 INNER JOIN b.dbo.table2 AS table2 ON table2.table1ID = table1.table1ID /cfquery IF there is no link on the database between the two you can query the relevant data from each in separate queries and use a query of queries to join them. -Original Message- From: Charles Love [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, August 17, 2007 1:26 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Multiple data sources in one query?

RE: Is cfqueryparam worth it?
That is a false statement. There are reasons not to use it. They come with perils. If the data being sent to the query does not come from the outside then the only risk to SQL injection comes from the developers working on the query, and they have other ways to cause havoc without having to write SQL injection attacks. When you use cfqueryparam the statement that gets compiled uses sp_prepexec. This causes MSSql server to generate the query execution plan for the query before actually executing the query. This can actually end up causing the server to run the query 2x. If you have a very long running query for a report for example that queries millions of records of data against millions of other records of data etc. and takes several minutes or hours to execute you do not want that to happen 2x every call. In theory when sp_prepexec generates the execution plan that is cached and not needed to be created again however on high volume / traffic sql servers it is not possible to cache every execution plan forever. Often long running queries that are executed rarely fall out of the execution plan cache. This can create a huge performance problem for a sql server. I would agree with the statement that you should use cfqueryparam whenever you can and only not use it when you absolutely have to. For the cases like I describe above you can write the bind variables yourself into the query and gain the same benefit without sp_prepexec being called. IE SELECT columnA FROMtableb WHERE columnC = cfqueryparam cfsqltype='cf_sql_varchar' maxlength='2' value='ab' / Could become DECLARE @param1 varchar(2) SET @param1 = 'ab' SELECT columnA From tableb WHERE columnC = @param1 -Original Message- From: Dawson, Michael [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, August 10, 2007 11:18 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Is cfqueryparam worth it?

For data validation, we tend to do something like this: SELECT username FROM user where userID = #int(URL.userID)# the nice thing about this is that if URL.userID isn't an integer, int() returns 0, and the query executes and simply returns no records. For us, this is a far preferable method than what cfqueryparam would do, which is to bomb before executing the query.

I prefer something similar to what James mentioned but with the addition of groups or roles. The groups or roles would have a member table joining them 1 group/role to many permissions.

RE: slow query in cf but fast in Sql2k5 management studio.
How much data is it returning? A few rows, a few dozen, thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions. Sql2k5 just displays the results of the query. CF transforms the query into a java.util.Map which results in processing time on the CF server in addition to the processing time on the SQL server for each query. Also adding an appropriate blockfactor may speed this up as the driver may be sending one row at a time back to CF instead of as much as it can. Are you sure it is the query that is taking a long time or is it the transformation of the query into whatever view you are making out of it? Create a template with nothing in it but a cfquery call with the sql. Do not dump it or anything and see whether the code that renders the query results into something else is the culprit. If you can rule out CF processing as the issue, post the execution plan created. Maybe you are missing indexes etc. Try running the query with out using cfqueryparam if you are and compare the timing. -Original Message- From: Dave Watts [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, January 05, 2007 10:17 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: slow query in cf but fast in Sql2k5 management studio.

RE: cfqueryparam DECREASES performance?
CFQueryParam can indeed decrease performance. If you look at what happens when you use CFQueryParam versus just passing in variables it makes sense. CFQueryParam transforms any passed variables into bind variables. In MSSQL it is the same as declaring a variable, setting it and then using that in the query. IE SELECT Id, Description FROMProduct WHERE ProductID = 2 VS (with query param ) DECLARE @P1 int SET @P1 = 2 SELECT Id, Description FROMProduct WHERE ProductID = @P1 CF then uses a stored procedure spprepexec to try to force the dbms to precompile the sql statement into an execution plan for faster execution on subsequent calls. This is where you lose performance often. If your database does not have enough memory to store all of the prepared statements you will be essentially running the query 2x every time you call it. Once to generate the execution plan once to actually run it. The same thing happens if the query is not called often enough. IE in the case of reports run infrequently. The database will clear the execution plan for your query since it is not used often to make room for other queries. I would recommend writing a custom tag to replace cfqueryparam when used with infrequent long running reports. A query that takes 100 ms to run, is no big deal if it has to be recompiled once and a while. A query that runs for 3 minutes can be a major problem if it takes 2x as long 50% of the time. I wish Adobe would rewrite this functionality to take an optional parameter to specify whether to use sp prep exec. I've attached a custom tag I wrote to replace cfqueryparam in these cases.

RE: Getting the value or innerHTML of an FCKEditor field using DOM
I ran into the same issue. Here are a couple javascript functions used
by another window that is opened and updates that field. You could
probably modify it to work for you.
function getEditorContent(instanceName) {
editor_frame =
opener.document.getElementById(instanceName+'___Frame');
editor_source =
editor_frame.contentWindow.document.getElementById('eEditorArea');
if (editor_source!=null) {
return
editor_source.contentWindow.document.body.innerHTML;
} else {
return '';
}
}
function setEditorContent(instanceName,newContent) {
editor_frame =
opener.document.getElementById(instanceName+'___Frame');
editor_source =
editor_frame.contentWindow.document.getElementById('eEditorArea');
if (editor_source!=null) {
editor_source.contentWindow.document.body.innerHTML = newContent;
} else {
return '';
}
}

RE: cfqueryparam DECREASES performance?

With which driver did you observe this behaviour? For which version of MS SQL Server was that? ISTM that a more efficient approach would be to use sp_executesql or SQLPrepare and I am surprised that a driver would choose a strategy that would force an execution for every recompile.

RE: user accounts and passwords
Use something other than the email address as the username. Offer to mail them their username if they forget it and enter their email address. Then the drunken co-eds would need to know a user name in order to mess with them. Or only allow one reset per week / day / month etc. Make them call someone to have it happen more often. -Original Message- From: Richard White [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 20, 2006 9:56 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: user accounts and passwords actually i have just thought of something that could happen with this method. My target audience are students at university. If someone has forgot their password and the system is designed for them to enter their email address, it will reset their password and send them the new password - then i was thinking that some students may get drunk and find it funny to keep entering their friends email addresses (or people they don't like) and continue to get them reset. do you guys use any way to get round this problem - maybe asking them a security question or something like before resetting their password thanks ~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.

RE: Mock Objects for ColdFusion
Do we need a EasyMock for CF or CFMock version of JMock now? -Original Message- From: Jeff Chastain [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, December 04, 2006 12:55 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Mock Objects for ColdFusion Jeff, At this point there really isn't a *mock object* solution, per se for CF developers in the form of any particular framework developed to create Mocks. Really, the simplest way at this point is to create them by hand. Also, are you sure you want mock objects that will fully behave like Reactor or do you just want to stub out that layer to satisfy the Reactor dependencies? I just ask this because mocks are a perhaps the most difficult, tedious and brittle form of stubbing out a component or set of components. If you have already considered a simpler approach and decided you need mock objects, then nevermind. Otherwise, I recommend you do. Paul Paul, I have two cases (beyond the Mach-II objects) that I am running into issues on. First is with my data access layer and the objects that sit right on top of Reactor. I have an enrollment object which accepts form data from an enrollment application, validates that form data, then creates an enrollmentRecord from Reactor and saves it. How would you test this type of object? The second case is dealing with a web service. The web service acts as a gateway and takes three parameters - the name of the object for it to create, the method on that object to create, and the parameters (struct) to pass to that object. In other words, based upon the parameters passed to the web service, it will perform different functions and return different data. So, how do you test the object that makes use of this web service ... in other words, how do you stub or create a mock object for the web service since its functionality is so fluid? Thanks. ~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.

RE: select * (star) caching
No but I suspect it has more to do with the way execution plans are cached on the database server than caching in cf.

That is not a good reason. It does not let anyone else reading your code know what you are doing. I am not sure if this is a coldfusion problem or the fact that if you use cfqueryparam the db driver uses sp_prepexec on SQL servers which caches an execution plan for the query, and uses bind variables. This may cause SQL server to return the exact same results for the query even if the table structure changes.

RE: Inner Join Across Two Data Sources?
You can create Linked servers in ms sql. I'm not sure if you could do that to a fox pro database. The caveat is linked severs suck performance wise.
