RE: OT - Windows NT source code
How many companies with over 1,000 employees (and PC's) have you been with that ran Linux, FreeBSD or something similar on the desktop? The answer is: Not a whole lot. So, if most business runs MS on the desktop they rely on it. There are enough hacks out there now without the source code causing problems. If somebody had the source code they could cripple industries that relied on the platform rather quickly. Our jobs are time consuming enough without the added pressure of 16 year old kids writing viruses all day aren't they.

RE: OT - Windows NT source code
That sounds like a mile high view of the situation. MS, MAC and others were around before the net was what it is today thus the security dictated that it was closed source. MAC just recently got into open-source with X and eventually MS will as well. I do think that it may make for a more stable environment if it were open-source but I doubt it would make it hack proof at all. I just don't see that as a possibility. As for the encryption, I remember learning that years ago and finding it hard to swallow then as well. If I installed a security system in my house I wouldn't want to be the one to test it. I know where the weak and strong points would exist. That would nullify the test altogether. I would rather have somebody come in (like a robber would do) and try to get in. They may be able to research the system I used but may not be aware of the details of the house layout and what other traps might exist. A true hacker is going to work like a robber and not an insider. They have to piece the puzzle together and seldom have all the pieces (hence the word hacking). -Original Message-the weakness From: Tom Kitta [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, February 13, 2004 12:16 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: OT - Windows NT source code I disagree, open source makes OS much safer than closed source OS. Everyone can inspect the code and point out problems with open source, not so when it is closed. Thus, MS has a problem when its source gets suddenly released -- people will most likely find a lot of holes in it which were long time ago fixed in open source OS. It can be compared to a person that lived in a bubble their whole life getting exposed to the outside world for the first time -- might catch something pretty quickly. Also, security through obscurity is no security at all. One of the oldest principles in encryption states that one should test the system under the conditions where the attacker is assumed to have full knowledge of the system.

RE: OT - Windows NT source code
...and from a business point of view where does the majority of the work happen? Not on a server but rather on some desktop where people key in data to systems (Excel, PeopleSoft, Oracle, etc.). So if the desktop becomes unstable the work is unstable and so on and so forth. I'm not knocking the value of Linux and those like it I just don't see it as a viable option for a world raised on MS. Our users have a hard enough time as it is with MS, asking them to change gears in mid stroke seems kind of self-defeating.

RE: Images - store in DB or filesystem?
Hmm, that's odd I thought that was what InterMedia from Oracle was all about? Of course they just scratched the surface in 8i but in 9i it's all about that. I can search binary data, both clob and blob. They can be stored within the database structure itself or in separate files associated with the db structure. They have little or nothing to do at all with relational modeling. We currently have functionality that allows us to store PDF in Oracle and search the BLOB for content. Now, of course, that won't work with images and more proprietary formats that are not conducive to text searching but it works perfect for us. We even ran comparisons against retrieval and write vs. write/read. So long as you stream output using JSPwe find that the DB is faster than the filesystem most always. Granted our Oracle environment runs on Digital UNIX so I haven't tried this on NT running UNIX. Also If you are on SQL server I am sure the differences may be somewhat less desirable as well. But that's just IMHO regardless. Stephen E.

I can assure you that storing images in BLOB does not bloat a database. They are designed for this very thing. I would agree with you about the choice of the word bloat, but relational databases are hardly designed for storing binary data - it's purely an afterthought at most. Relational databases are very good at storing and retrieving character strings, and SQL is appropriate for searching character strings. Neither is especially adept for working with binary data. In most cases, I've found little or no benefit in storing binary data in a database instead of just storing it on the filesystem, and in some cases, I've found that filesystem storage performs a lot better and is easier to implement.

Your monthly column contribution is useful (along with your papers on www.how2cf.com/), and Brendan O'Hara's Design Patterns series was invaluable (at least, to me). But the magazine overall really is a joke for what you get. You get articles that just barely touch on what I really care about (I want useful topics with meaty code samples as opposed to hello world theoretical statements and the aggravating poorly written code snippets), and the price of the subscription is almost twice what Time magazine costs me (and, oh by the way, Time is a *weekly* publication with a helluva lot more relevant information.

As for relevancy, by the time the monthly issue comes out, most hot topics are outdated, such as hotfix announcements, etc. Honestly, between the numerous blogs at fullasagoog.com, and CF-Talk, CFCDev, and some other mailing lists, CFDJ is a complete rip-off.

Also remember that the authors are not paid for their articles, they are voluntary contributions.With that being the case, there aren't too many people that would do it on a regular basis.I've contributed a few articles, but it's certainly not something I'd like to do more than a few times a year since it does take a lot of time and that's time I can spend doing other things (like earning money). I'll agree that there is a lot more information available for free now than there used to be, but you have to be careful about editorial quality and even accuracy.The vast majority of blogs post small snippets and not full articles like in a magazine, and many blogs post incorrect information.

I used to have a subscription to CFDJ. But for $49 USD/year, it's absolute bottom of the barrel. Your monthly column contribution is useful (along with your papers on www.how2cf.com/), and Brendan O'Hara's Design Patterns series was invaluable (at least, to me). But the magazine overall really is a joke for what you get. You get articles that just barely touch on what I really care about (I want useful topics with meaty code samples as opposed to hello world theoretical statements and the aggravating poorly written code snippets), and the price of the subscription is almost twice what Time magazine costs me (and, oh by the way, Time is a *weekly* publication with a helluva lot more relevant information. The last issue of CFDJ was 52 pages. Of the 52, I think *maybe* half actually had article content. The rest was advertisements and promos that I could care less about. As for relevancy, by the time the monthly issue comes out, most hot topics are outdated, such as hotfix announcements, etc. Honestly, between the numerous blogs at fullasagoog.com, and CF-Talk, CFCDev, and some other mailing lists, CFDJ is a complete rip-off. I like to buy virtually everything associated with CF (books, magazines, training, etc.). But I have to say that, of all the resources out there for ColdFusion, CFDJ is absolutely the last resource I would refer to if I ever needed advice or direction on a particular issue. And don't get me started on their website... Please don't take this as a personal attack, as I have great respect for everything you contribute to the CF community. But if there are people out there wondering if it's worth taking the risk of subscribing to CFDJ, especially when there aren't corporate pocketbooks to pick up the bill, I think my opinion is pretty clear.

RE: Learning .NET (c-sharp) books
Be sure you read books on the Framework and ADO though. I would recommend reading those first as it makes the C# read a lot easier. Generally speaking if you know C++ you should have no problems with C#. The Framework books help you with all of the libraries. The ADO books with the new ADO stuff, it's pretty darn slick. If you are not versed in traditional OOP languages then a book on OOP wouldn't be a bad idea either. Stephen E.

If we were to say ok well since we putting this code into a file and makingthe code in the file is a function that can be called is really not Object Oriented Programming. It sounds like you are trying to describe Reusing Code by modularizing it, which yes, is an aspect of OOP but isn't the full thing. You can''t write object oriented code without an object oriented language. the makes sense doesnt it? you can try and you can call your module, function or code an object, but it really isn't an object because it doesn't behave like one. If I were an OOP programmer using Java and C++ and someone told me that other people could callthemselves OOP programmers simply because they can create objects with HTML. I'd be kinda mad. OOP is a fundamental concept of programming, but you can't program using OOP if you aren't using an OOP language. nuff said -Tim Cantrell, Adam wrote: I have read all the crud where people say CFC's are like OOP but it just isn't true. The middle letter in OOP stands for Oriented. When I think of that word I think of becoming familiar with and somewhat following the general idea of whatever subject is at hand. When I apply that to Object Oriented Programming, I simply think of orienting my code around self contained entities that hide their details and inner workings behind methods - car.drive(). The part that I think is most important is deciding what becomes an object and then how the objects work together, not the syntax and extended features that make it easier to work with objects like inheritance and all the rest. There should be a term to describe this very simple, high-level concept, and it seems like using the term Oriented is right on. Maybe we just need a new acronym to more accurately describe the specific syntax of OOP when it was a concept that was exclusive to lower level language circles, because it sounds kind of silly to say you're not orienting yourself correctly when people are just trying to benefit from organizing their code around objects but might be veering a little from tradition. I hereby submit this new acronym, I hope it's not already taken: SJOCSOCPSAYBNVFTSMFOWHYSADALYAHTMLC, which you probably already guessed stands for Strict Java or C Style Object Conforming Programming Syntax and You Better Not Veer From This Sh*t Mother Fu*er or We'll Hunt Your Stupid As$ Down and Label You a Hyper Text Markup Language Coder.

Ok, first try this:: sp_resetstatus If that does not work you might try the following:: 1. Turn off the SQL Server, 2. Copy the data file to a secure location on the drive 3. Turn on the SQL Server 4. Create a new database, call it foo or something 5. Turn off the database 6. Look in the /Data/ directory (or wherever you place your DB's). You should see the FOO Data and Log files. Overwrite your backup data file you moved earlier in Step 2 and replace it exactly with the Data name of Foo. 7.

RE: OT-SQL Data file issue
Just to verify... You had two files in your originals DATA directory, lets assume the path is E:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\Data Ok, your two original files were Sample_DATA.MDF Sample_LOG.LDF You then deleted the LDF file on accident. Ok, so then you created a new Database, let's call it Foo. You then stop the sql server. You now have 2 new files: Foo_DATA.MDF Foo_LOG.LDF You then deleted Foo_DATA.MDF and took Sample_DATA.MDF and renamed it to Foo_DATA.MDF. Then when you restarted the Db it gave you an error?

RE: SQL: Selecting Max Date Entries
You may want to create a Sp if in SQL or a Package in Oracle to do this.
That way if no rows are returned by the default date you can do the previous
month in code rather than making CF do it with loops and all that jaz. Just
saves the processing baby!!!

If you are trying to get the highest date value in the database -
use this query:

use this query:
SELECT max(DateColumnName)

Selecting an item will display information regarding that item.

RE: Create table ID field
If I am not mistaken UUID is a big string of mess. Now granted a PK as a char or int may not inherently be much to fuss over when the chat gets large it does become a very big issue. I can't see how a large char could ever compete against a small int. At the bit level you can not say that 102031 is the same as parsing 122434TREgh-e-rfwer43 so and an so on. Regardless, comparing int to varchar is measured at the ms level so I wouldn't worry about it too much... Steve http://intranet Stephen E.

(their argument was that they didn't have to worry about another record being inserted in between when the CreateUUID() was called and when the first record was actually inserted into the DB)I questioned them about the impact this has on their joins and a few said they never saw a real decrease in performance (I don't have any proof, but I inherently distrust that statement!) and a few others say that they used that only for creating a unique ID, but that they had a separate ID field in each table that was numeric which they used for joins.This part seemed like overkill to me - surely there's some stored procedure that accomplishes all of this?

RE: Date Errors in MX ?
The date format is wrong...Oracle is specific on how dates are inserted, don't use create ODBC Date just pass in something like 10-OCT-2003 or something similar depending on how dates are set up on the oracle side. Also, put a sequence on that table man, don't use those MAX commands, here is an example of a sequence:: First, put a trigger on the table like this code below:: declare pkvaluenumber; BEGIN select SEQUENCE NAME_seq.nextval into pkvalue from dual; :new.FIELD NAME FOR TABLE THAT NEEDS SEQUENCE := pkvalue; END; CREATE SEQUENCE SEQUENCE NAME_seq INCREMENT BY 1 START WITH STAR_NUMBER MINVALUE 1 MAXVALUE 999 NOCYCLE NOORDER CACHE 20 Just replace everything inside the 's with your sequence name and the field/table to create the sequence on.

RE: Joining the dark side - using DWMX
Fundamental difference between programmers and web developers... I have noticed that programmer like Studio much better than Dreamweaver whereas web site designers like dreamweaver. They may both program in CF but the difference to me is that one is written with a coder in mind and the other was written with a designer in mind. I cam from a programming background, I mean hardcore as in C++ with VI or Emacs...so to me CF 5 is much better... -Original Message- From: Daniel Farmer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, December 19, 2003 12:38 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Joining the dark side - using DWMX ALLAIRE RULES - Original Message - From: Dave Watts To: CF-Talk Sent: Friday, December 19, 2003 12:43 PM Subject: RE: Joining the dark side - using DWMX CFS5 Kicks DWMX ass anytime. It is faster and more stable. I don't care what hardware you are on - the bottom line is that CFS5 is faster than DWMX on any hardware. We're talking about a text editor, not a compiler. How fast does it have to be? On my laptop (which is hardly a blazing machine) Dreamweaver MX 2004 runs well enough that it doesn't slow me down any. In exchange, it gives me a usable design view, templates, an incredibly powerful search and replace interface, and all sorts of other stuff I find very helpful. There are plenty of things I don't like about Dreamweaver, but they're outweighed by the good things in my opinion. For that matter, there were plenty of things I didn't like about CF Studio - it's not like that was God's gift to text editing, either.

Hello all,
I'm trying to use a calendar custom tag (cf_formFieldCalendar) inside a
secure directory.Inside the tag it has a window.open command that spawns
a window.When it does, the browser prompts that you're leaving a secure
area.The tag is inside the secure directory.Can anybody tell me how to
get it so the browser doesn't prompt the user that they're leaving a secure
area?
Thanks in advance,

Wow, someone actually reads these adds at the bottom of group emails! :) I don't know what does this program do (this tag) but to keep your environment safe I think it is OK to run antiviral software on your server and make sure to take extra care of files being uploaded by users. Also, to keep your network free consider running integrated e-mail antiviral scanner (saves on user problems and bandwidth usage).

This is the first time I've heard about this product, from the Ad at the end of one of these messages. PrismAV for ColdFusion is a custom tag that allows you to scan for, and repair, virus-infected files from your ColdFusion environment. It is the first and only anti-virus solution designed specifically for ColdFusion applications. I'm a little confused. They say it is an Antivirus package for Coldfusion Applications. Does this mean we can integrate Antivirus scanning into our coldfusion applications using this tool? For example to scan file attachments for a file management system or a CF based webmail system?

JS Popup browsers are called like this:
window.open('http://www.mydomain.com/pagename.html','windowname','[attribute
s]');
This code is in the code of your custom tag. You must adjust this code
to say https: instead of http:. If the tag calls the popup page as a
relative link rather than an absolute path then you will probably have
to change it to an absolute path. Hope this helps.

Need to add some param defaults and the such. ... cfoutput cfcontent file=#DirectorySet##Evaluate(FileVal)# type=application/pdf deletefile=Yes /cfoutput In my experience, this would return a PDF in its entirety to the browser. This isn't the same as byte-serving a PDF, in which case the client receives a page at a time. On an unrelated note, you don't need the CFOUTPUT tags there, since you're not outputting text to the client, and you don't need Evaluate, since you can just refer to FileVal directly.

Nulling or reseting password in MX 6.1
OK, I forgot my Admin password on my MX 6.1 box, does anyone know how I can NULL it or reset it. I seem to remember some XML doc you could modify to do this but have since forgotten it's name and what to change.

JRUN/JSP and Cold Fusion are about to kill me....
We had this pretty app that used a JSP page to display BLOB data from Oracle running on MX 6.1 and O8i. It was working perfectly on box A, then I moved it to box B which has the exact same settings in the CF administrator and uses the exact same classes12.zip files (et all) and it is FUBAR. Sometimes I get the Server Busy message, sometimes I get raw PDF output and sometimes I get a PDF document. Now the funny thing is this went from a PIII with 128 Meg ram to a Dual P4 2.0 with over 2 Gig of memory and a RAID drive system. I checked the event.log in the runtime folder and keep getting a lot of java.lang.IllegalStateExceptions. Anyone got any clues as to why this may be happening???

RE: CF Certification
I've been in this industry for about 14 years and nobody at any job I have ever had (including ones I was the boss at) has ever asked or cared about those things. Granted I have a degree in CS Engineering but even at that they have never even bothered to contact my school to check it out (well at least on my last 3 jobs). I guess it's assumed that after 14 years I should know at least the basicsboy do I have 'em all fooled.

Access Opened Exclusively Problem
Does anyone know how to: I am reverting back to access for the first time in like 5 years. Anyway, the file is in Access 97 format. I am running MACR CF 6.1. I can create a DSN connection through ODBC at the system level (on the NT Server). When I go into MX 6.1 to create the ODBC Socket connection I get a opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view its data. I do not have the Access mdb open at this time in Access and don't see a record locking file on the server for it either where the original mdb is located. To note, this is also a mapped drive. The actual access file does not reside on the MX box in question. Thanks, S [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings]
RE: ListFind() weirdness
Hmmm...something to ponder -Original Message- From: Dave Watts [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 25, 2003 10:00 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: ListFind() weirdness Wouldn't a list, by nature of it being a list, need more than 1 value to be called a list? No, I don't think so. A list is simply a string of characters, and strings can have a length of zero, after all. Admittedly, that list probably wouldn't be especially useful.

RE: Access Opened Exclusively Problem
Next time I'll proof... My bad:) I'll try these out and see what happens. I am almost positive I have CFMX running under a local account.

I don't want you to take this the wrong way, but this is one of my pet peeves - you don't revert back, you just revert, the fact that you're going backwards is implicit.

By default, CFMX (and previous versions as well) run as SYSTEM, which has no rights to network resources. You'd have to run CF as a specific user with rights to the remote share, and if you wanted to use a mapping (instead of just accessing the share via a UNC path) you'd have to create the mapping while logged on with that user account, or you'd have to create a mapping that all accounts can see by doing so while logged in as a domain administrator. I'm a little hazy on that last part, actually, because it's been a while since I've wanted to do that.

RE: Access Opened Exclusively Problem
I was in the process of reverting when I realized I had already reverted to the previous state. Now that I have reverted I found the solution by reverting back to this email. You are correct sir! When I stopped all of the MX services and reregistered them to run under my domain account the datasource worked as expected. Thanks.
