Re: SELECT DISTINCT in Access ODBC truncates MEMO field?
Replying to my own post: Now that I've thought about it a bit more, I guess this behavior makes sense.

Re: SELECT DISTINCT in Access ODBC truncates MEMO field?
Thanks for the clarification. Makes perfect sense. The only reason I put the distinct in there in the first place (not realizing the consequences) was that the data being given to us was so flaky.

Re: Oracle... ODBC error messages different than native drivers?
Just an additional bit of info: If I send a malformed query to Oracle using native drivers, and the error occurs *after* the column headings are returned by the query (this happens with certain types of errors), the CF server evidently believes the query is still executing and therefore *no* error is returned to your browser. It appears as if the server was hanging at this point. This was driving me crazy until my server guru set the maximum query timeout on the CF server from 0 to 60 seconds. If I run the same query in SQL Plus, Oracle returns the column headings with an immediate error message, so anytime I have a questionable query I always test drive it in SQL Plus first.

Processing multiple selections from a select list box
How do I process multiple selections from a list box? My list box is populated with values from a query (see code), and I want the user to be able to select one or more values. I then want to insert the values selected into an Oracle table, along with the user's ID, which is determined elsewhere. Sorry if this is a newbie question, but I can't find ANY info on this topic.

pre-selecting items in a multiple list box
I'm using a CF template that attempts to pre-select several items in a list box based on values returned from 2 queries. If a match occurs, that entry in the list box should be selected. There will almost always be more than one match. Specifically, the list box should list all possible delivery locations (from the get_del_locn query) and highlight/pre-select those locations that a user has a record returned for in get_usr_del_locn. What the code below produces *almost* works - all possible delivery locations are in the list box, but only *one* of the user's specific locations is selected even though they might have 4 or 5 locations tied to their usr_id. So... Why doesn't this code work? select user_del.dlo_id from del_locn, user_del where del_locn.dlo_id = user_del.dlo_id and user_del.usr_id = #usr_id# select dlo_id, dlo_locn from del_locn order by dlo_locn #get_del_locn.dlo_locn# #get_del_locn.dlo_locn# ~~~~~~~~ Ricq Pattay <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Univ of MN College of Veterinary Medicine -- Archives: http://www.eGroups.com/list/cf-talk To Unsubscribe visit http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists&body=lists/cf_talk or send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with 'unsubscribe' in the body.

Re: Client and session variables same thing different
Is there any way to "refresh" a session variable's timeout countdown so that when a user accesses a page the timeout is reset back to whatever I had it set to in Application.cfm? For example, my session variables timeout is currently set to 30 minutes for security reasons. But I have some users who use this site all day long. I'd like to prevent having these power users from having to log back in every 30 minutes. As long as they access any page in the site within the 30 minute window, I'd like the 30-minute countdown to reset back to 30. Possible? I suppose I could create a duplicate CF directory with its own application.cfm for these special users, but of course that gets kind of messy... ~~~~ Ricq Pattay <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Univ of MN College of Veterinary - Original Message - From: Chris Evans <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, May 11, 2000 7:38 AM Subject: RE: Client and session variables same thing different > Session variables are unique to each user, time out after a period of time, > and are stored in RAM.

Drop Down Combo Boxes Disappearing in IE

On some computers in IE 5.5 the drop downs don't appear when the page loads -- there's only a white space where the drop down should be. Other form elements (text boxes, submit buttons) appear normally. Netscape seems fine but with only limited testing from me. Any ideas?

Re: javascript thumbnails
Try the low resolution attribute of the IMG tag. Your low rez image can be a "Please wait" image and the regular image will be the actual image. I've not used this personally but NS and IE are said to support it even though it's not standard HTML. If you don't specify the height and width then the size of the low-rez image is used for both.

multiple queries tie up web server
I have a CF page that contains approx 7500 queries against an Oracle database via an Apache web server. Of course this page takes a while to load (3 minutes or so), but my user is ok with that because she does so only a handful of times per day. What is not ok is that, while this page is loading, all other users of any CF app on that web server cannot access any page -- they will receive Apache's "server is too busy to handle request" error message. Any ideas on how to work around this? Reducing the number of queries from 7500 isn't really an option, unfortunately.

Re: multiple queries tie up web server
Thanks for the responses so far. More info: We're running CF Server 4.51 Enterprise, with the Oracle 7.3 native drivers. And *all* requests to the web server are refused, not just those to the same datasource. So this sounds more like a web server problem (as Robert said). The page in question isn't a report, but a dynamic grid of enrollment counts for multiple courses held at multiple times. Each course/time combination has 4 queries associated with it, 3 of which are "select count(user_id)..." Each course/time intersection has javascript pop-up windows associated with it so my user can add/drop/move students to/from other intersections on the schedule grid. I can't really cache the query because there's 7500 of them! :-) I don't know enough yet about writing stored procedures to investigate this route. Maybe this is a good time to learn? But would using SP's even help if there are so many little queries? - Original Message - From: "Edward Smith" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, February 05, 2001 1:10 PM Subject: Re: multiple queries tie up web server > We've had problems with Oracle drivers being single threaded-like.

Scheduled Event (was: multiple queries tie up web server)
To avoid running those pesky 7500 queries, I'm investigating creating a static page that refreshes once a day. My user seems sorta ok with this approach. This is my first attempt with scheduling a CF event. So why when I set up a scheduled event in the CF Adminstrator do I always get a "connection failure" notice? The URL is correct, no username or password is required, request timeout is set well above what the page usually takes, no proxy, publish is checked, publish path & filename are valid, resolve URL checked. Actually I get a connection failure even when trying to run a simple page with ONE query and passing no parameters to it, so this sounds like a configuration issue...(?). The scheduler log looks ok: "Information","TID=3402","02/06/01","13:05:52","Scheduled action vcross_test, template http://bozo.umn.edu/schedule.cfm?year=2001-2002&rotation=2&type=rotation submission initiated." "Information","TID=3402","02/06/01","13:08:05","Scheduled action vcross_test, template http://bozo.umn.edu/schedule.cfm?year=2001-2002&rotation=2&type=rotation submitted successfully." but the resulting .htm file consists of the one line "Connection failure." If I select "Run" from the CF Admin scheduling page, the scheduled page always times out, even the simple test page with a single query that normally takes 1 second to run if loaded directly.

SurePay
Anybody using SurePay? How difficult was it to set up in CF? Has anyone ever used the "SurePay Tag Pack" custom tag -- if so, how was it? Any input would be appreciated.

OT: Max Credit Card Expiration Date
If this is 2001, what is the highest expiration year I'll ever see on a customer's valid card? I'm populating an order form's select box with expiration years and don't want to put any more years in there to choose from than are necessary. So if the max year is always "X" years from the present year, I can of course dynamically populate my select using that info. Thanks.

Re: How to get a list of all tables in a given datasource - and how to combine queries
If you are the Oracle owner of the tables in question, you can use "select table_name, table_type from user_catalog".

Re: Debug output
Just change the font color as the last line in your template, like so: Be sure NOT to include a closing tag. The font color you set here will carry over to all the CF debug stuff at the bottom of the page.

Re: cfqueryparam error w/ oracle
That almost fixed it -- I tweaked the quotes in the VALUE param and now it
works, *thank you!*. If I do VALUE="#trim(x)#", I get the same error. But if
I do VALUE="#trim("x")#", it works.
But wtf? The user_id field is Oracle field type number(6). It looks like
Oracle is misinterpreting #x# as a string (STR?). There can't be any
spaces/nulls in a number(6) field!
So... this works:
select * from v_user
where user_id =
