RE: OT: Paid by a percentage of the gross?? Anyone?
Why not an option for you to choose? How about this: Keep track of the hours you spend building the site. Multiply that by some rate...suppose $30/hour for the sake of discussion. That is the your minimum fee. If the site hasn't generated $XX of profit in 6 months, you get your hourly rate fee. If it does meet or exceed the profit goal, you get a percent of gross. -Original Message- From: Alex [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, September 08, 2002 10:01 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: OT: Paid by a percentage of the gross??

RE: I need a host. Intermedia testimonials
I have a Shanje account and it's marginally OK. If you have a low volume site and don't mind it being offline briefly twice per day when he re-sync's his servers, and don't mind not being able to install CFX tags and don't mind sharing a box with 13,000 domains that can give 4000-5000 ms query times with Access databases, and don't mind not having SQL server, then it's OK. (Remember I said LOW volume web sites). For development with Access, it's great. For email, it's normally OK but I've had reports of people trying to send me email that gets bounced. Overall, you get what you pay for. If you can live with these restrictions, then it makes sense. It's really great for domain parking.

RE: Reliable Host
I have a dedicated server with them and have two clients that still have contracts with their shared hosting. The last four of five emails I've sent to support we never answered. I ended up having to call them on the phone. Once I was speaking to someone, the problems USUALLY were resolved. One problem is their "dedicated server guy(s)" don't work at night so no one can touch my box when I'm working on it at night. That was a minor annoyance. Overall, I'd give them average marks for customer support but certainly nothing higher than average.

Re: Avoiding using the MAX function
In SQL server, you can do this:
CREATE TRIGGER GetMax_ID ON mytable
FOR INSERT
AS
SELECT mytable_ID FROM INSERTED
When you run your query to do the INSERT, the trigger will
fire and return the mytable_ID of the inserted record for you.

Re: Cold Fusion-based email server...?
We use a Linux box on a separate machine for our intranet running RedHat 6. It's extremely fast to send/receive mail and EXTREMELY reliable. It's the only machine in my server room that can run for months without rebooting.

Re: cheating: Time Zone rules
Eric, We have that data in a program called "Andromeda" by camp-sys. They might be willing to sell you the data. One other consideration is Europe switches daylight savings time 1 week off from the states. I don't know about other continents, but that's something you don't want to forget. Our flight schedulers for my USAF organization do everything in Universal time (ZULU) and convert it to local for the customers with the data from Camp-Sys. If you have access to the Flight Information Publications (FLIP), the IFR Supplement has time zone information in it. It's an unclassified publication. My guess is you can buy a copy of it from the National Image and Mapping Agency (NIMA). Let me know if you still need help.

Oracle vs SQL server
Hi everyone. We're using SQL server 7.0 and it's working great. The DoD recently purchases a site license for the entire DoD for Oracle. My question is should I move my SQL server DB to Oracle? I tend to say no just because everything is already working, including some stored procedures and triggers. Has anyone had to do this migration path? What are the Advantages of Oracle over SQL Server?I've read some great things about SQL server 2000 and wonder if any advantages Oracles has at the moment will be gone with SQL Server 2000 is released later this year. Any other thoughts?

RE: return value of Identity Column
There's another way with SQL Server using a trigger: CREATE TRIGGER GetPK_MyTable ON MyTable FOR INSERT AS SELECT MyTable_ID FROM INSERTED When you do your CFQUERY and perform the SQL INSERT, SQL server will return the inserted ID via the trigger!!! Using the @@IDENTITY variable isn't guaranteed to be correct under heavy load from my understanding.

I just read the recent discussion on the forums (http://forums1.allaire.com/DevConf/Thread.cfm?&&Message_ID=504660&_#Message504660) about this. I had the impression the @@IDENTITY function returned the last identity value used by the SQL server, regardless of user. This was wrong. It's the last identity value used by that connection. As mentioned in the thread by Paul, there are several ways to do it with SQL server. I agree the best way is using a SP. Thanks Paul!

RE: When should I use CFLOCK?
Ben, After reading the Allaire KB article on locking, I put CFLOCK's around all instances of any session or server variables.

What are you using instead of IDENTITY?
In Joe Celko's book "SQL for smarties", he blasts IDENTITY and other
Generator Functions as "a horrible, nonstandard, nonrelational
proprietary extension that should be avoided whenever possible" (p 63 if you
have the book)
I wrote Joe about this with this reply:
===
>> You don't mention why or alternatives. I work with SQL server and the
topic of the @@IDENTITY variables comes up over and over. Some say use it,
others like yourself say avoid it. What arguments can I bring to the table
against using @@IDENTITY ? <<
Not Standard, not portable, and has a lot of weird side effects and
behaviors (scan the UseNet and other postings from people having problems
with it).
For fun, build a table with one column that is an IDENTITY column, then try
to insert, update and delete from it. You'll find out that it is not a
table because it does not behave like a table.
Conceptually, it is non-relational. If I insert the sequence {a, b, c}
into a table with the IDENTITY column, they get the numbering ((a,1),
(b,2), (c,3)), but if I insert the sequence {c, a, b} into a table with the
IDENTITY column, they get the numbering ((c,1), (a,2), (b,3)) instead.
Suddenly, ordering affects the attributes of an entity, in violation of a
basic relational principle that says we are using (unordered) sets.
For a data modeling viewpoint, why is a number associated at ransom with an
entity? What does it mean? It means that you could not think of a good
way to identify one entity from another and in desperation, you faked it!!
Timestamping rows at least marks an event.
--CELKO--
===
The question to the group is: "What are you using instead of IDENTITY?"
Perhaps you are using it and disagree with Joe Celko. What are your
thoughts?
Tom

What are you using instead of IDENTITY...Part II
Continuing the dialog with Joe Celko, here's more fuel to the fire. New questions raised by Joe's latest email: * Has anyone looked at ORM? * I personally love ERwin. What better alternative is there? * The next step is to ask Joe Celko if he ever recommends a surrogate key. Tom Nunamaker [EMAIL PROTECTED] = >> If I have a table with repeating information, suppose a city field in an employee table for example, to normalize it you would break the city into a separate table. If I used the city name as the primary key for this "city" table, then it wouldn't accomplish anything to put it in it's own table. << That is a bad example. Each city in a Personnel table (remember use a plural or collective noun for table names) is probably going to be part of a different address -- mailing address, his/her doctor's address or whatever. Try a Personnel table with columns called kid1, kid2, and kid3 for his dependents. Clearly having a Dependents table is much better design -- it beats the heck out of requiring everyone to have three kids or to kill one if they have over-breed. >> I could create an INTEGER field in this city table and reference the integer in the employee table. That would certainly take up less space overall. Are you saying it's better to NOT to do something like this? Instead, just put the repeating city name in the employee table and forget the city table? << I would use the SAN (Standard Address Number) if I were in the book trade. It is a number for all the bookstores and publishers in the US. This is because the set of addresses can be treated like an entity in that model. I am saying look at your model. If Addresses are a serious part of the business model and appear in multiple places, then I would also have a table for (zipcode, city, state) and assemble the addresses from this and the street address line. ZIP codes get changed more than people think. If the addresses are not reused much, then put them with the table to which they belong. What you save in space with a separate address code, you will lose in doing JOINs. >> I've 'faked it' using IDENTITY fields but I'm willing to use a better approach if I can. How do you handle situations like this? I see "identifier" fields in the book "Data Modeling with ERwin". I know LOTS of developers using it. << I know a lot of developers who do it, too. I bill their employers $1500 to $2000 per day to fix that kind of code. Oh, ERwin is a bad tool. It has planar graph problems, cannot show constraints, returns only one schema, etc. You might want to look at ORM modeling methods. --CELKO-- -- Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ 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.

I just copied and pasted the email Joe Celko sent to me. To be honest, Joe had me doubting my database modeling technique. I'm still open to better ways. Perhaps ORM is better. I am just discovering it now. So far, it seems very similar to the ER diagrams I can make with ERwin. Little apparent benefits so far. I had the same feeling that Joe was being a good politician and avoiding my question. I was going to ask his thinking about surrogate keys, but I'm happy with the way I do things now (WITH surrogate keys). At the least, Joe's comments stirred up quite a good discussion.

RE: CFCACHE in Static Pages
There was an article a few years ago in the CFDJ about a caching tag that essentially stores the cached HTML in a memory structure with controllable timeouts.

RE: How to model "all" in a many-to-many
Hi John, I wouldn't add an "All foods" in the intersection table. You certainly could have an all food boolean in the persons table (note: table names are normally plural since they contain a set of information) You could write a stored procedure to delete all entries for a person and add an entry for each food type for that person in the intersection table. I would think that's the purist way to handle is as your counts would always be correct. If you added a food, just run that stored procedure to update anyone with "All foods" after the new food type is created. If you delete a food type, you'd of course need to delete all entries in the intersection table first, then delete the food type most likely in one transaction and/or stored procedure. That's how I'd do it.

Surely someone on here has thought about this before: Imagine you have a table of Person and a table of Food, and you have a PersonFood table that models which people like which food using two foreign keys, such as PersonID and FoodID. Simple enough Now, that's great if Sally like apples, and Billy likes apples and walnuts, and Joe likes tacos. But what should be done about BigBob, who likes *all* foods? If we just mark off BigBob as liking all the foods using the PersonFood then any time a new Food is added , BigBob will be out of date (he really does like *all* foods!). Yet if we create a special food called "All Food" and mark BigBob with that then the "count" of how many foods he likes (which is really just the count of all Foods) is equal to one instead of the actual food count, and it's still possible to mark BigBob as liking "All Food" as well as "apples" and get a food count of 2! ugh. And it's just as wrong to say "well anyone who does not have any records in the PersonFoods table means that they like all foods" because then you have no way of showing a Person who really like zero of the Foods.

RE: How to model "all" in a many-to-many
Isn't that what John was suggesting with an "all foods" flag? The problem with that is illustrated with your example however. Suppose you do have the "all foods" flag and you setup a SP to automatically add that person to the intersection table for any new food. You later discover he doesn't like those octopus thickshakes and delete that from the intersection table. Carrying the example further, you add frog legs to the food list. When the SP is run, it would reset the octopus thickshakes association with your user. One solution could be two intersection tables. One for foods the person wants and another for foods they don't want. You could have the "all foods" Boolean flag in the people table and modify the SP to add all foods except the ones listed in the " don't want" table. Only foods in the "want" table are valid. The second intersection table would only be used for people with "all foods" to specify foods they don't want.

RE: How to model "all" in a many-to-many
Joe Celko would also disagree with your idea of singular table names. Tables contain a set of data. What's in a table describing people? If you ONLY store one person, then it is a person table. If it stores more than one person, it is storing people. Typically, tables contain more than one record; hence they typically should be named as a plural Tom -Original Message- From: Taco Fleur [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, January 25, 2004 7:32 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: How to model "all" in a many-to-many There is just no way this would work correctly, if for some reason you don't trust my answer maybe should be asking the question in a DB mailing list or forum? The only CORRECT way of doing this is to store an entry for each food in the foreign table. And I'd suggest you stick non plural naming anywhere, because as soon as you start to use plural naming you will have to start thinking "now what did I use there, food or foods?"

RE: IIS and MX and Multiple Sites with one IP
Just to speed things up, here's the important text from that link:
Tom
//
Web servers using ColdFusion MX that use multiple host names with
different document roots ("multihomed" servers) must change the
cacheRealPath option of the ProxyService to false. Otherwise, if two
sites have a script with the same name relative to their web roots (for
example, /index.cfm), the web server might incorrectly render the
scripts. This setting might cause slower performance; this is why the
option is set to true by default.
Edit c:/cfusionmx/runtime/servers/default/SERVER-INF/jrun.xml and change
the value of the following option from true to false.
true

RE: Pointing multiple sites to the same IP
Sounds reasonable. I don't think you can virtually host multiple domains with SSL that are using multiple certificates. Tom -Original Message- From: Mark A. Kruger - CFG [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, June 26, 2002 4:41 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Pointing multiple sites to the same IP Ok - here's a thought based on a reading of your article. I think it works for me because I have a server that has multiple sites all "virtually hosted" but only ONE of them uses SSL (I have only installed one cert). The article refers to multiple certificates and the web server being unable to determine which one to use. But that is not the case if I only have one cert - right? I think that is why my "virtual" site works. Mark -Original Message- From: Mark A.

It's a pretty straightforward setup and there are several tutorials available on the web... go to your search engine of choice and do a search for Host Headers Setup and the name of your webserver application. You can also have mupltiple IP's point to the same machine and assign each IP a distinct domain name... I haven't had any perosnal experience with that option but I know that it's available. The one downside of host headers is that older browsers... say from Version 3.x and before of IE/NS don't support them. They don't send the domain with their GET request. The web server doesn't know what site to point to and will redirect to the default site, which always has to exist.

RE: Clustering and CF variables.
Neil Client variables can't store complex data types like arrays and structures. However, you CAN convert these to WDDX variables and store the WDDX data as client variables. Session variables are handy to time someone out of an application. You can do this with Client variables but you have to roll your own timeout mechanism. Either refine the CFID/CFTOKEN as cookies that expire when the browser closes or set a date/time client variable and check to see if the desired amount of time since the last access has been exceeded.

RE: 360 Review
You can issue you random numbers on pieces of paper, like drawing from a hat. Explain that they are unique numbers that can only be used once.

RE: Parsing an Email Line By Line
A lot of email programs wrap text at certain lengths.
Why not read the email body into a variables. Replace all chr(10) and
chr(13)'s with
nothing ('') (ie...eliminate them), then split the text up the way you want
to?
There's a nice UDF at cflig.org for taking the left 'n' characters but not
splitting words apart.

That doesn't work. As we said before the chr(13) comes in at about 77
characters so CFMAIL or the mail server or something (don't know which) is
putting the chr(13) or chr(10) in the middle of the line!

RE: Best way to store credit cards in database?
I guess I'm a bit too paranoid to even THINK about putting credit card numbers in one of my databases. Just thinking of the potential liability is staggering. Can you imagine your clients' attorneys asking you to explain your own encryption algorithm to a judge? Or why you used a public algorithm that had known vulnerabilities (that you didn't necessarily know about). Banks and financial institutions can keep the liability headaches to themselves. You know how you make money on wall street? Controlling your risk. I like to follow the same advice when it comes to potential lawsuits.

RE: SQL indexing
Image trying to lookup a phone number in the white pages if the entries were in the order they were entered in to the database (ie...not in alphabetical order). You would have to look through the entire phone book to find any number. That's what your database has to do if you don't use indexed fields. For small tables, that's not a problem. With 27000 or 2.7 million records, it's a HUGE problem. I had a user in my users group once with a 150 MB Access database from a military supply mainframe. He imported the data everyday and came to the group complaining that he queries were taking 5-15 MINUTES to run. We looked at his database and discovered he had only text fields with no indexes. After we explained indexes to him his query times dropped dramatically.

Placing an index on the username and password fields increases the query execution speed by over 1000% (used to take over a minute, now around 1 second). The same principle would apply to any field where the server needs to lookup the table and return records based on the field in the where clause.

Also, along the same lines, I report by grouping output (in SQL - not CF's group=) using the DAY, HOUR and MONTH parts of a datetime stamp.

RE: NOCOUNT question
This is from SQL server 2000 Books Online about NOCOUNT.
In serveral SQL server programming books I have, they all recommend
setting NOCOUNT ON. One book I have mentioned the SET NOCOUNT ON can
cause problems with Access, so you should limit its use to SQL server.
Tom Nunamaker
==
SET NOCOUNT
Stops the message indicating the number of rows affected by a
Transact-SQL statement from being returned as part of the results.
Syntax
SET NOCOUNT { ON | OFF }
Remarks
When SET NOCOUNT is ON, the count (indicating the number of rows
affected by a Transact-SQL statement) is not returned. When SET NOCOUNT
is OFF, the count is returned.
The @@ROWCOUNT function is updated even when SET NOCOUNT is ON.
SET NOCOUNT ON eliminates the sending of DONE_IN_PROC messages to the
client for each statement in a stored procedure. When using the
utilities provided with MicrosoftR SQL ServerT to execute queries, the
results prevent "nn rows affected" from being displayed at the end
Transact-SQL statements such as SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE.
For stored procedures that contain several statements that do not return
much actual data, this can provide a significant performance boost
because network traffic is greatly reduced.
The setting of SET NOCOUNT is set at execute or run time and not at
parse time.
Permissions
SET NOCOUNT permissions default to all users.

Subject: NOCOUNT question
Howdy --
I have seen some in this forum suggest implicitly via their code
examples that SET NOCOUNT ON...SET NOCOUNT OFF should bracket any SQL
command(s) submitted via CF to SQL Server. I realize that for "routine"
operations these statements are not necessary, but I was wondering
whether there are special situations where they might be helpful or even
necessary. I searched the CF support forums, the SQL Server docs and
Microsoft support KB, and even Google, but aside from a few comments to
the effect that this approach might provide a very slight performance
advantage in high-traffic environments, I really couldn't find any other
reason to explain why some CF coders routinely use this approach.
Enlightening comments, anyone?

The clients we work with generally have no understanding why there's a browser war, why netscape 4.75 doesn't support some of the HTML tags as well as IE does and etc. It would hurt the contractors' reputation if they were to ignore 4.75 as of now.

RE: List of Cities
The US Census agency has a free listing of lat/lon for zip codes at http://ftp.census.gov/geo/www/gazetteer/places.html I wrote a bunch of UDF's for latlon calculations and posted them at cflib.org about two weeks ago. I see they are still sitting in the submission queue. If anyone needs the UDF's sooner, I can dig them out of the code I'm using at www.morervs.com. Look at http://www.morervs.com/fb3/index.cfm?fuseaction=search.home and try the distance search. I think that's the kind of thing you're after. I haven't seen how others do this but my solution was based on the fact that one degree of latitude is always equal to 60 nautical miles. You take the distance for the radius of the search and convert it to nautical miles. Then add that many degrees in a box around the starting point. If my search was 138 statute miles (about 120 Nautical miles), the 120 nautical miles is 2 degrees of arc at the earth's surface (Assuming the earth is a perfect sphere). Do an SQL query to filter out the vast majority of records that fall outside of the box surrounding your origin... Something like Select * >From myzipcodedata Where lat between (targetlat-dist/(60*1.15)) and (targetlat+dist/(60*1.15)) AND lon between (targetlon-dist/(60*1.15)) and (targetlon+dist/(60*1.15)) This leaves you with a rectangle that's CLOSE to a radius search. All that's left to do is to loop through these records and actually calculate the distance and throw out the ones that exceed your search distance. One degree of longitude is only equal to 60 NM at the equator. The farther North you go, the smaller the distance gets until you get to the poles where it's zero. Your initial box to filter records out is actually somewhat larger than your search distance but it will never be smaller than your search distance. If someone has a better way, I'd love to see it but this method works fairly quickly.

Jim Does that also work for zip codes across state lines? For instance, chicago is not far from Indiana. Would the zip codes still be numerically and physically close or does the state matter at all?

I haven't seen how others do this but my solution was based on the fact that one degree of latitude is always equal to 60 nautical miles. You take the distance for the radius of the search and convert it to nautical miles. Then add that many degrees in a box around the starting point. If my search was 138 statute miles (about 120 Nautical miles), the 120 nautical miles is 2 degrees of arc at the earth's surface (Assuming the earth is a perfect sphere). Do an SQL query to filter out the vast majority of records that fall outside of the box surrounding your origin... Something like Select * >From myzipcodedata Where lat between (targetlat-dist/(60*1.15)) and (targetlat+dist/(60*1.15)) AND lon between (targetlon-dist/(60*1.15)) and (targetlon+dist/(60*1.15)) This leaves you with a rectangle that's CLOSE to a radius search. All that's left to do is to loop through these records and actually calculate the distance and throw out the ones that exceed your search distance. One degree of longitude is only equal to 60 NM at the equator. The farther North you go, the smaller the distance gets until you get to the poles where it's zero. Your initial box to filter records out is actually somewhat larger than your search distance but it will never be smaller than your search distance.

RE: List of Cities
Jim I find it hard to use the zipcode numbers as a filter due to the lack of information on how they are derived. How do I know what the correct amount is for your second possibility? Is it 2000? 1500? 2500? How do I know for sure? You don't. The only way you do know is by calculating the distances. How do I know instate is fine? You said is should be...but do you know for a fact or is that speculation? You said they should run faster since there is no math calculations involved. That's misleading since we are both using SQL between statements to create a recordset. I fail to see how I know the distance between two zipcodes with your method. Don't you have to calculate that the same way I dowith lat/longs? My method only does that calculation for a small number of wasted computations but I guarantee my results are within the correct distance desired. The method I'm using is VERY fast. The only distance calculations you do are within the rectangle of results you get by filtering out the vast majority of data. You're basically throwing out the corners of the box to make a circle if that makes sense. For instance, if I do a query looking for something within 120 NM of 0N 0W, I do this: SELECT * FROM mydata WHERE lat BETWEEN -2 AND 2 AND lon BETWEEN -2 AND 2 The farthest distance I could possibly have (assuming the rectangle is nearly a perfect square) would be 2^(1/2) = 1.4142 * 120 or 169.7 NM All other data would have been filtered out at this point...which is about 98.6% of the planet. You're going to have to do the distance calculations on this dataset and end up throwing out a maximum of about 29% of these remaining records. NOTE: As your go father North, the square is more rectangular and you're excess records will slowly increase, but not dramatically. Perhaps I'm still missing something about just using zipcode numbers as my initial filter. If I want to search within 50 miles, what zipcode amount do I vary my target from? +/- 50? What's the key? Do you have a working example?

It does not seem to matter for north-south states. Zipcodes start in the north-westand seem to zigzag across the country ending up in Washington State. So three possibilities: 1) Instate should be fine. 2) for out of state comparisons... use a larger range, like maybe 2000? 3) north-south comparisons can be done using zip code range and east west can be done using longitudinal range.

LatLongDist UDF online
For those who were looking for the UDF to do distance between two lat/lons, here's my version: http://toshop.com/udf/latlondist.cfm Rob Brooks-Bilson wrote a UDF at cflib.org that does basically the same thing but I use a different calculation that's subject to little rounding error for short distances, has more options for the result units and has more precise conversion factors. Rob's UDF also requires DegToRad UDF which mine does not require since I've done the conversion within the latlondist UDF.

RE: List of Cities
Hi Jim I'm the one who asked for other ways. It is an interesting idea but I'm not sure how you would use it since I doubt if USPS has standard distances between zip codes. If they did, it would be great, but I'm pretty sure they base zip codes on population density.
