Operation must use an updateable query
Hi there, I have a very simple CF app that is using an MS Access 2000 file as the datasource. The app works fine on my system, but when it is uploaded to the hosting provider, I get an "Operation must use an updateable query" error on a page that inserts information from a form. It's just a straight "insert into.." SQL statement - what could be wrong?

RE: Filemaker on a MAC
I'm very interested in finding out if anyone has used a MAC Filemaker database to drive a site and if there are any compatibility issues with our hosting platform (We have NT4 SP5 servers running MIIS4 and CF4.5 Ent). Or if it just can't be done? It can be done, but FileMaker is quite different to most databases. Its ODBC implementation is pretty fragile. Most Mac people who use filemaker as their web DB platform use BlueWorld Lasso as the application server (it runs on Mac OS and Windows NT). And, is working with a filemake file the same as working sith Access (i.e. just upload the file, make the connection and way you go?). You have to have the Filemaker application running on the server to host filemaker files. The ODBC driver connects to the app, not the file itself. It can be a bit of a resource hog and is not suitable for sites that need any kind of scalability at all. If you have not had much FileMaker experience I'd steer clear if I were you.

How much can CF handle?
Hi, I am doing a proposal for a client ATM who has a web site that is currently getting about 6 page views per second in peak time. Do you think it will be possible to handle the load with a single CF/HTTP server running Linux and a separate DB server running MySQL? All images will be stored on an external server, so the only thing being processed by the CF box is the pages. It will probably be a fairly decent box, perhaps dual-P3, up to a gig of RAM, dual ethernet. I am writing the app to make a lot of use of cfincludes of dynamically-built static pages and liberal caching. Any suggestions are welcome.

Re: Linux connecting to MySQL
I am attempting to create a connection in the ODBC page of the CF administrator to a MySQL database, which exists. My CF server runs as "nobody". My MySQL server runs as "mysql". my database name is "db_test". need to know the following: - what user needs to be set up in mySQL - is that user @% or @localhost - what username do you put in the username field in CF administrator? You need to create a MySQL user - these are quite separate to UNIX users and are internal to MySQL. Use something like this: GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON db_test TO user@"localhost" IDENTIFIED BY "password" This gives the user full access to the database from the local system. Replace localhost with "%" if you want, this allows access from any machine on the network and is obviously a security risk. Much better to specify a location by IP address if the CF server is on a different machine. The ALL PRIVILEGES is a bit insecure, and you should restrict it before going into production. You can connect to the database by using the mysql client: mysql -u root -p db_test The username you put in CF admin is the same as the one you just set up - it is the mySQL user, "user" in this case.

RE: 1 or more dsn's - efficiency?
Books is the main database; should tables be added to this database for daily quotes and for links or is it better to have separate small databases for daily quotes and links Definitely better to have it all in one DSN. Making an ODBC connection to a data source is costly in terms of system resources, so minimise the number of DSNs as much as possible. There is no problem in having unrelated tables in a database, this is quite normal. The other issue here is that many hosting providers will charge you per DSN you set up so it will cost you three times as much to host your system should you choose to set up 3 DSNs.

Re: Preventing Browsers Cacheing a .cfm file
Is the a code that will successfully prevent a .cfm page from being = cached on a users browser that will work effectively across browsers Yes. You should set up a variable (preferably in your application.cfm) that sets a random number and append that to all your URLs, eg: cfset token="nc=#randrange(1,99)#" cfoutput a href="newpage.cfm?#token#"Click here to go to the non-cached page/a /cfoutput The URL will end up something like: newpage.cfm?nc=12314. The dummy argument is ignored by the browser. This will force the browser to get new pages because all the URLs are different. I had big caching problems with Mac Internet Explorer 4.5 before implementing this.

Now, in performance terms would it be better for me to write the news section out as a static file whenever it's updated and cfinclude it into the page, or is it better to do a cachedwithin in the query that produces the news item?

Re: Cold Fusion ISP search
Good luck finding a "shared" server with access to CF Administrator OR CFFILE! It's just too big of a security risk. Sounds like you're looking for a dedicated server. If the server admin has correctly configured security sandboxing using CF Advanced security then CFFILE is fine. Some ISPs will give you a custom app that sets several CF Administrator settings for your site, eg datasources.

Re: clever list boxes
1. Can you make a list box behave this way? I'm sure I've seen web sites with list boxes that also allow you to type characters into the box. They could I use an event to test for a new value or something. What you want is a combo box which is not a standard HTML element. You can do this with a combination of a SELECT list box and a text input box. I have also use DHTML to create a pop-up menu attached to a list box. 2. Another option I guess is to use a normal text field and when they enter something I can check to see if it exists and complete the field for them. You can't do this with CF - this is client-side and you would need to use Javascript. Unless you had a very small number of values this would not be practical to do because you would have to load all the possible values into a massive javascript array and check them on each keypress - better not to bother. You would probably crash the browser if you had a big enough list of values. Welcome to the web's stateless environment - very few data retrieval operations can be performed in browsers on the fly - almost all Web DB stuff is necessarily a multiple-screen, request-response paradigm.

RE: Session Management
expire the cookie immediately This won't work if you are using CF's session management because you don't specifically set cookies - it either uses CFID and CFTOKEN stored as a cookie OR as a URL argument. The expiration of the cookies is set by ColdFusion and is tied to the session timeout value. Many users don't accept cookies so relying on cookies alone to manage state is not a good idea. You should test for cookie ability at the start of a session and pass the values as a token on the URLs if cookies are not enabled by appending something like #application.addtoken# to every URL. More work, but it gives you fairly bulletproof session management. --- Rob Keniger -- Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ To Unsubscribe visit http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=listsbody=lists/cf_talk or send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with 'unsubscribe' in the body.

Re: Mac File Uploads + extensions
How are people dealing with files uploaded by AppleMacs. How can you tell what type of files they are ?? What sort of things are you allowing users to upload? Mac files can be anything - on the mac they store information about what the file is in a separate "fork" or file along with the main file. Mac users quite often do not use file extensions. Many Mac files will be destroyed and unusable when uploading if they are not first encoded into a binary stream by an application like Aladdin dropstuff (a mac app). If the files are data files like word files or images, the files will work OK. I have an application that allows users to upload jpeg images - in this case I use CFFILE to generate a file extension as part of the file name. Perhaps you could force mac users to select the type of file from a list (jpeg, word file, pdf etc) before allowing them to upload? If you need more help with this, I have done much work with Macs/CF so just contact me directly.

Permanent variable storage
Hi there, I've got an application where I have several pieces of data that the client needs to be able to maintain using CF. These are things like the email addresses that various form output is sent to, the prices for certain products and a bit of "blurb" for the intro page. My question is what is the usual method for storing these kinds of "static" information? The information needs to be able to be changed, but only fairly infrequently. I can't use application variables because they will time out or be erased when the server restarts. Creating a table with a single row to store a bunch of email address columns seems a bit weird. I thought about using a text file but it's a bit of a pain. Any thoughts?

Re: Permanent variable storage
Thanks everyone for the responses. why do you think application scope is a bad idea? even after server restart your application will be intended to reinitialize thru application.cfm... Yes I know, but if the variables need to be changed they must be stored elsewhere in order for application.cfm to be able to initialise with the current values. Just say I have two email addresses, one for contacts and one for registration. If I have an "update email addresses" page that simply does a cfset application.contact_address="[EMAIL PROTECTED]", then this variable will be OK until the server restarts but then it will be erased by whatever the defaults in application.cfm are. Or at least I think that's the way it works. I was thinking I could have a table set up wtih four columns, email_id, contact_address, registration_address and date_created. I could then do an insert when they change the email address and initialise the application with whatever the newest email addresses are. However, I don't need to save the older addresses so the information is redundant. Should I just have a table with one row that just gets updated? I know I can do this but I am just wondering if there is an alternative.
