OT - SQL Help
Hi all, Sorry for the OT but this should be a quick answer. This is in ASP (sorry). If I have the following: sql = SELECT * FROM SomeTable sql = sql WHERE Email = ' Request(un) ' sql = sql OR SEmail = ' Request(un) ' sql = sql AND IsDeleted = 0 sql = sql AND Password = ' Request(pw) ' sql = sql AND Approved = 1 sql = sql AND Registered = 1 Where Email is the primary email and SEmail is a secondary email address (both are different addresses). If the submission doesn't match the first then it matches the second, how do I account for that? Right now, I am getting an error because the record doesn't match. Any ideas?

RE: OT - SQL Help
I guess I must have not been clear in my initial email. I am not getting an error. The problem is I have 2 different email addresses that can be used to log into an extranet. If the primary email doesn't match the primary email address then it should check to see if it matches the secondary email address and log in otherwise it is not found. For example, let's say these fields are in the DB: PEmail,SEmail and let's say these are the email addresses respectively: [EMAIL PROTECTED],[EMAIL PROTECTED] And in the form I input [EMAIL PROTECTED] I should be able to log in but the problem is that it only accepts the primary email address. Hope this clears it up.

RE: SOT: Sad Day
Obviously i do not expect an answer but I think some of us are wondering: if you are dedicating more resources to the coldfusion community and that we will be announcing a new community manager position very soon then why lose Verne? I think I can safely state that Verne was constantly standing up for MM and was a HUGE asset in the community. I also would be likely to believe that he was as qualified as the next person. So, why lose that type of asset? Sorry, Mike, but I just think it wasn't the most beneficial move that MM has done. And i don't mean to sound like a jerk or want an answer and it's just my opinion. Likewise, Verne could have had his own personal reasons for leaving and that is totally understandable as could MM. -Original Message- From: Mike Chambers [mailto:mchamber;macromedia.com] Sent: Tuesday, November 12, 2002 3:33 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: SOT: Sad Day that is correct. we are not cutting back. in fact, we will be dedicating more resources to the coldfusion community. mike chambers [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original Message- From: Andrew Tyrone [mailto:atyrone;optonline.net] Sent: Tuesday, November 12, 2002 3:19 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: SOT: Sad Day I don't understand why everyone jumps to the conclusion that MM is cutting back.

I have to agree with Casey on this one. There are practically no CF postings in the Texas market. Dallas has by far the most of any other regional market. I'm no longer a developer and have moved up past the architect tear, and honestly, I here 5x as many stories of people ditching CF than ramping up. The enterprise penetration of MX has been weak. MM would blame this on the marketplace, but I'm not sold on this. We honestly are seriously considering dumping the product and retraining our CF team for native j2ee. MM's failure to support Oracles j2ee server is killing them in the education and corporate marketplaces. Too many large schools and corporations have purchased 'site' licensure of oracle products that comes bundled with oracle's j2ee server. Fiscally we can not justify purchasing another party j2ee server just to continue using the CF toolset. We are moving forward with what we already own. Talking with industry piers, we are by no means the only large shop doing this. My advice, if you want to maintain your marketability, you better ramp up on other application server languages.

Lee, I appreciate your need TODAY, and I sympathize with your plight. However, there are a couple of things to keep in mind...This problem didn't just crop up today, and from the sound of it, it doesn't sound like it can be solved today. I strongly urge you to contact support, possibly become a Gold Support customer. That program was designed for this kind of urgent service. If I've read this thread correctly, you've said you don't want to call support because you're afraid you'll be charged unfairly for something that is a CFMX bug, yet I've not seen anyone on this list say that they have been charged in such a situation, but they have reiterated just the opposite. I'll repeat my earlier reassurance, if anyone, including you, are charged for a support incident, and you don't think the charge is fair, I will thoroughly look into it. Trust me, I'm not unsympathetic, but unfortunately, this list is not an official, one-to-one support venue. It's not where one turns for direct, urgent one-to-one contact. I strongly urge you to work with our support department instead of relying upon community lists/forums for urgent situations where you need direct assistance from Macromedia. The kind of simple information you seek simply isn't simple - but we are always in an ongoing effort to get this information to our customers, and will continue to do so. If you'd like to speak with me personally, e-mail me your contact info off-list, and I'll give you a call. Vernon Viehe ColdFusion Community Manager Developer Relations Macromedia, Inc.

However, looking at it from my vantage point (and I'm pretty sure I'm not alone here on this mountain top - or at the bottom of this pit.. depending upon your viewpoint), I have a problem TODAY. One that is causing me serious trouble TODAY. I know that things like this take time, and I truly believe that this is not an MM thing. That's not my view of it at all. My view is simple (and I won't repeat it and bore everyone to death). Reality is that I need a solution TODAY. Sometime to keep my people from throwing the baby out with the bath water. Maybe it would help for MM to post a simple, clean and concise, page-by-page setting list of how you (MM) suggest we setup our servers (using gulp IIS5, of course) to make sure that CFMX works properly. Specifically -- - Page-by-page settings with the Administrator - Specific IIS changes/additions/amendments - Specific changes to CFMX setup files (similar to the XML file changes for multi-homing) - Some traps and tricks (simply put) I know that you have the best practices and performance tuning white papers. However, a checklist would be far more helpful -- so that people like me that are experiencing a problem can turn to this checklist (knowing that it's not a cure-all) to make certain we have things set to MM's recommendations.

It seems participation in the community would do it. The way we have it now may not be the proper way in your eyes, but as that is the *currently supported method* it doesn't leave any room for argument, now does it? It isn't a matter of what I personally think. It is a matter of what the general sentiment in the community is. It is clear to me that the community prefers open and public interaction with their peers over calling technical support and giving a credit card number. It doesn't matter what Macromedia's policy is in this regard if the community doesn't agree. People will continue to avoid the route suggested by Macromedia until Macromedia changes its policy to one the community likes better. Saying that x sucks is fine, but it does not change x. Sure it does if enough people are saying it. -Matt I think Matt is right in stating this. For example, the voting system in Florida (it sucked, they changed it), rights of homosexuals (let's not get into a debate on this, please), the founding of America, abortion, women voting, African-American rights...etc. Now what I mean by these examples, is that x sucked and people changed it. Is it the same as the discussion at hand, yes, more or less. If the community feels strongly and can make a difference, then MM (with the help of Vern, Lee, Sean, Ben, etc) will eventually come to change their policy. Just my thoughts!

He's the CF community manager for MM. Of course, there are others from MM on the list that do monitor and answer questions such as Sean, but when the internal responsibility comes around, Vernon's the guy. And personally, I think he's doing a great job. I've just been monitoring the thread, but from what I've read earlier, this and maybe other CF-lists and other software lists might be worth assigning someone to, to monitor and respond to as their day job. Public relations and perception can make or break a company these days and it seems to me, especially with a company the size of MM, that there would be funds to hire a Mailing List / Forum Troubleshooter who is an expert in the software AND its use in production who could provide a first response technical support to users, free of charge...public relations people who are not experts in the software and its use are really not always helpful, except to soothe the frayed nerves of customers whose businesses are falling apart because they can't get things working. And sometimes you need an answer in minutes, not hours or days. After providing first response, let the Troubleshooter then decide which issues should be taken into the formal chain of technical support. One of the great benefits of public lists like this and the support one can get is that the support is public and not isolated in a support network. Solve it for one, you solve it for many. Cuts down on MM's formal support requirements. I believe this Troubleshooter position should be formal, paid, and full-time, because it's in MM's and the CF (et al) community's best interest.

Threads like the one yesterday, if you go back and read them, degenerated into a series of throw it out the door and I won't be buying it etc, etc, etc. People need to realize that yes while software might have issues, and they do want help publicly, there are other people who are reading these mediums who are directly making decisions based off of the words of the people within this community.

OT: CF 5 books
Hey all, Sorry for the OT post. I am wondering which CF 5 book to get. I know Ben Forta's books are awesome and well done. However, I also know that Simon (from my CFDJList) is an invaluable contributor and has done the worx series on CF 5. So, question is this: which book (out of those 2) do you find more informative on UDF's, CFSCRIPT, Arrays, Structs, etc? Thanks for the recommendations! Oh, and email me off list .

HTH, T -Original Message- From: Everett, Al [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, September 09, 2002 4:46 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Preventing User from Re-submitting Add Record Form There's a couple of ways to handle that. One is to set a session variable or cookie at the time they reach the confirmation page. The idea being that your form template would check for the existence of that session variable or cookie and, if found, stop them from submitting the form. Another way would be to put a timestamp on all your database records. Then, before inserting, check to see if an identical record was submitted within, say, the last half hour. This is more labor-intensive, but removes any issues with blocked cookies, proxy servers, browser caching, et. al. Obviously, if an identical record is allowed you'll need to account for that. To expand on this, you may present the user with a message that the record appears to already have been submitted and ask if they're sure they want to submit it again. There are other ways to handle it as well. (Stay tuned for the history.forward() trick.) -Original Message- From: Bob Haroche [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, September 09, 2002 4:32 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Preventing User from Re-submitting Add Record Form I've a simple membership app which allows a user to add a new member record. Once the record is added, the user is sent to a page displaying the results of the data provided. If the user has inputted incorrect data, this confirmation page has a link to update the newly added record. That's all fine. But here's the problem: if the user instead uses the browser back button, they're returned to the Add New Record page where they can change the information previously provided. Once they re-submit that form, of course, the original record is not updated but instead a second, new record is created. How do I best prevent the user from re-submitting the Add New Member form when what they really need to do is use the Edit Member record form. A google search reveals the existence of a Submit Once CF custom tag, which might help(?), but it's no longer available on the MM site. TIA.

I can do this easily with CF, but ASP is a way different beast. Has anyone had any experience sending email via ASP/VBScript? I can format the mail headers, to, from, subject, and, can send the mail, but can't get a variable containing a string of other info to show up in the subject. I know the CDONTS mailer is working, or else no mail would be sent or received. I can't debug this in Dreamweaver, as there's no JavaScript. I can't easily figure out how to debug HTML/ASP code in Visual Studio .NET.

RE: OT but Important Amber alert missing child should I post here?
As a new parent, a developer, and a subscriber to this list, I think it is a good idea. Just one post and maybe a link to the child's picture. As Isaac said, they can and do go across the country. What if you are alerted on this list one day, take note, and that same day, you go out to grab a bite for lunch and lo and behold, you see this abducted child?

Isaac Dealey [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, August 14, 2002 11:15 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: OT but Important Amber alert missing child should I post here? Sorry, but I'm inclined to disagree. First, this is the internet. Mike is in California, where I would assume the Amber Alert is, I am not. Thus, the Amber Alert notification would not be for the region where the vast majority of people on this list live (which would be everywhere but California). Second, the SNR is high enough here anyway. Let the Amber Alert work in its standard channels (highway signs, TV, Radio) and let this list focus on CF. I know this sounds callous, I'm a parent, but it's how I feel. You have a valid opinion. The only comment I would make ( and I don't say this to argue with you or invalidate your opinion ) is that afaik the police and so forth who are looking for the missing child may not know where that child is. Sure, the child may have lived in CA, but kidnappers have been known ( though it may not be the most common behavior ) to drive all the way accross the country with their victims... or given circumstances, to Canada or Mexico, maybe even get a flight overseas. Who's to say where they'll go, though I will admit I'd expect the odds to be slim that they'd find their way out of nearby or neighboring states.

Obviously if the form element is of type password, the initial value is masked when the form loads.

tracking payments
Hi all, It's Monday, caffeine intake is low and I am having a brainfreeze. I need to keep track of payments made by the client (amount and date), as well as the commissions paid to the sales reps. The reps get paid each time a client makes a payment; ie if the client pays 1000 of his 2000 balance the rep gets a percent of the 1000 not the 2000. That being said, I am on a SQL 2K DB. I thought about having a couple of columns like: Total Cost Invoice Date Invoice Amount Balance Commissions However, I don't want to overwrite the existing data (as this is going to be available for tracking and allowing the reps to print out an intemized view). I am having trouble of thinking about the best way to do this. I don't want to put in a ton of colums (in case they are not used but likewist don't want to put too few). Anyone got any ideas? Thanks!

I'm actually doing a presentation tonight for our CFUG about securing your SQL database. In a nut shell what you should do is create a user for the database (let's say the DB name is TEST) and give them DENYDATAREADER and DENYDATAWRITER access to the database. yes that is correct, it isn't a mistype. Then what you do is with the sa account, create your tables and your stored procedures. you can use another account that has db owner previledges, you just have to make sure that the same user owns both the tables and the storedprocedures. You can use the stored procedure sp_changeobjectowner to change the owner of an object if need be. Then after you created your stored procedures for your database, you give the user only EXEC permissions for that stored procedure. Now even if they get the username and password, what can they access. nothing. they can't even see what tables you have. all they can do is execute the stored procedures that you allow them to. this is a very rough example. if your in the south florida area tonight (don't know where you are), go to the CFUG meeting at the Hillsboro Compusa in Deerfield beach at 7:30pm. I will go into detail about this tonight.

As you know in SQL Enterprise, you're able to see the database names of other people sharing the SQL server. and by looking at the names you can probably guess what they named their DSN. I got lucky, and nabbed one. I pulled out the table names from sysobjects. Then pulled out the field names from a very desirable table using columnlist, then was able to pull out data! I was appalled! Because my DSNs are named after my site and anyone could have just done with I've done, but with a different intent. But the only way they will get that far is if they know the DSN. And to prevent that would be to never us an obvious DSN. name it something like Hys72hs! I had that fear in my mind way from the beginning, but I had thought that the DSN only works if it is being requested from a certain site!!! and also, can someone tell me how many webHosts turn off the CFREGISTRY tag? Or if any host even have it on at all? I attempted to retrieve the DATAsource names from using that tag, but good thing this host turned it off. Also, please let me know of any coldfusion hacks you guys might know. This is, of course, so you and I can have better security! __ Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com FAQ:

Basically, if you've got a shared CF server, and the usernames and passwords for each individual datasource are stored persistently on that server, then the key to being able to access another database is to retrieve those usernames and passwords. By default, they're usually in the registry. So, if a developer can write code on the server, and that code can read the values from the registry, then they can gain the same level of access to the database that the other application can.

how to increment this
Hi all, I have developed an app that evenly distributes leads based on the next sales rep in the db (we have 2 of them). when the page loads, it queries the db to see who is next in the distribution list. if the number of entries exceeds the recordcount of the reps, it gets set back to 1. my problem is that i am getting unique submissions to the same rep every so often. let's take 10 recs for example: repid 1 2 1 2 1 2 2 1 1 2 there is no pattern to it and I am wondering if i need to lock the the query. here it is: !--- Retrieve Survey ID from new record --- cfquery datasource=mydatasource name=getr maxrows=1 SELECT TOP 1 ID FROM table1 ORDER BY SubmitDate DESC /cfquery cfif getr.Recordcount LT 1 cfset IncID = 1 cfelse cfset ID = Int(getr.ID) cfset IncID = IncrementValue(ID) cfif IncID GT GetReps.Recordcount (just general query here. no biggie.) cfset IncID = 1 /cfif /cfif !--- Create New Array --- cfset EmailArray = ArrayNew(2) !--- Counter --- cfset loopcount = 1 !--- Begin Loop --- cfloop query=GetReps !--- Set elements in array --- cfset EmailArray[loopcount][1] = #GetReps.ID# cfset EmailArray[loopcount][2] = #GetReps.RepFirstName# cfset EmailArray[loopcount][3] = #GetReps.Email# I submit to another page which inserts the info into the db. should i put this code on that page?

The default will only be used when the user hasn't specified a value. example: you are insert the datetime yourself DECLARE @mytime datetime, @title varchar(50) SET @mytime = getdate() SET @title = 'this is a test' INSERT INTO table1 (CreationDate, title) VALUES (@mytime, @title) SQL Server does it for you DECLARE @title varchar(50) SET @title = 'this is a test' INSERT INTO table1 (title) VALUES (@title) What you probably are doing is assigning the getdate() to a local variables. and then doing an insert using this variables. If this is what are you doing then you are correct. SQL Server will insert the exact time for all records in the insert.

I found that in SQL. If I used getdate() and I inserted 10 records, each had the same date/time even though I submitted them at different intervals. Just need a clarification on this.

new member w/ what should be easy to do but can't figure out.
Hi all, I am a new member to this list and was wondering if I could ask for some help. Here is what i need to do: I have a survey that is on the web (duh) and when someone fills it out, i want to insert into an access 2k db (no prob here) and then evenly distribute (ie email) to sales reps. so, for the first survey filled out, it goes to rep 1, second survey goes to rep 2, so on and so forth and when the amount of surveys exceed the reps, then i go back to the first rep. i will send code if someone knows how to do this. Thanks a million! Big T __ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.
