CFQUERY and STARTROW=0 (??!)

2002-10-01 Thread Tom Sammons

Hi all,

I was looking up some stuff on joins versus unions, and came across an
opinion that used CFQUERY as an example. (I won't post the url since I
don't know if it's kosher here.)

However, under this person's tutorial topic called "Limiting Results" it
used this code:



followed by the comment:

"Note that the starting row is set at 0. Remember that computers start
numbering at 0, not 1.
So the first record in the database is record number 0."

---

Now, I understand offsets, et cetera, but I've never heard it used
regarding cfquery (or any other sql query for that matter -- I couldn't
even find another mention of startrow=0 anywhere in google or
altavista for any major sql platform...).

And obviously, I've never had a problem with using startrow=1 missing
the first record of a query return set.

Has anyone else ever used startrow=0 in *any* sql platform, is it
practical/standardized, or is this guy just telling people to do things
the
way he thinks they should be?

Inquiring minds (at least one) want to know...

Tom

Subject: MM will OWN my Devex Submissions?

2003-03-07 Thread Tom Sammons
Jeez, I wasn't going to post anything regarding all the MM site changes 
because there was so much traffic here about it, but I logged into the 
CF DevEx and found that a few of my submissions were missing.

So, I went a step further to see what the new submission areas looked 
like, and there was the following in the submission agreement:

(d) Commercial Submission Only: With respect to the Commercial 
Submission only, You hereby grant Macromedia a perpetual, irrevocable, 
royalty-free and worldwide license to use, test, copy, modify, create 
derivative works of, publicly display, publicly perform or demonstrate 
the Submission, and/or place a link to a website in connection with such 
Submission.

Non-commercial Submission was very similar, if not the same (my eyes 
bugged out, I can't remember now 8-).

I don't remember this before, but this sounds strikingly like the stuff 
that MS pulled when they were pushing a centralized storage 
product/service.

Am I reading it wrong, or doesn't this say that I would be giving them 
licensed ownership ("create derivative works of") whatever product or 
tag I might submit?

Please, please correct me and tell me I am reading it wrong.

Tom
