RE: [cftalk] RE: Importing CSV into Database - Update
That would be dependent on locale/ODBC settings. In locales where comma
is a decimal separator, semi-colon would be used as a field delimiter
instead (in that case, you might have commas in the fields, if there are
figures with decimals).

RE: Importing CSV into Database - Update
I've played with this a little more. The error I am now getting (after
removing the cftry so I could see) is this:
*** *** ***
Error Diagnostic Information
An error occurred while evaluating the _expression_:
#ListGetAt(l, 2)#
Error near line 56, column 8.
In function ListGetAt(list, index [, delimiters]) the value of index, which
is 2, is not a valid index for the list given as a the first argument (this
list has 1 elements). Valid indexes are in the range 1 through the number of
elements in the list
The error occurred while processing an element with a general identifier of
(#ListGetAt(l, 2)#), occupying document position (56:7) to (56:23).
*** *** ***
Where should I go from here? Should I be taking a different approach?

RE: Mass Database update
Chad, DTS will allow you to import from a .CSV. To dummy proof it use the "column transformations" tool in the package designer and write little validation routines in VB script. The little IDE makes it pretty easy. You can validate for length, numeric, date etc. (the date validation is tricky). I've always liked this approach rather than CF for file import. CF is ok if you have a limited number of rows, but long running HTTP requests are not usually the way to go - my .02. -mk -Original Message- From: Chad [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, September 25, 2002 9:37 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Mass Database update We have a client that wants to drop a database table and replace it with a new one every once and a while.

RE: Mass Database update
You'll probably not want to tackle this with ColdFusion. Use a transformation tool native to your DB if it's truly 'massive'. This will give you the most integrity/performance. If you want to automate the process using ColdFusion, that would be fine. Have them upload the Excel spreadsheet via CFFILE, and then have CF fire a StoredProcedure on your DB to import the information properly from Excel. You could pass the Stored Procedure the excel file name and make it truly dynamic/automated.

RE: mass database update
well then, you should name the count field on the form something like
count_appendProductID. then when you do the insert you could do something
like:
Update Inv1
Set Count = #evaluate("form.Count_" & ID)#
Where ID = #ListGetAt(ID, thisItem)#
hope that helps :)

RE: mass database update
Bruce, If all your text fields on your form are named count then when you put data in them and submit the form all the fields with the same name are concatenated together to form a comma seperated list of the values submitted. What I'd suggest is naming the fields count#ID# or something that will make then unique and identifiable on the action page. This will separate out their values individually for processing. Another option would be to use your listGetAt() for your count variable as well, because it is a list too. So you have two options I guess. HTH, Tyler M.

Re: Dynamic Fieldnames & database update
use the evaule function. in your loop, do this (lets say the counter is
equal to 3)
#Evaluate('form.dateofbirth'& counter)#
coldfusion will read that as #form.dateofbirth3#

RE: [RE: [database update?]]
Peter, If these guys give you an update once a week they can wait 15 more minutes for the information to be available! Tell them the facts of life. Sometimes users have to be told NO! If they need faster updates let them ODBC into your database more frequently and directly update your tables. 15 minutes is nothing in the grand scheme of things.

Re: [RE: [database update?]]
Peter, One way to do it would be to create an ODBC connection to a blank database. Then go into that db and link the tables to the database that's being uploaded. Go under FILE -> GET EXTERNAL DATA -> LINK TABLES. Then choose the uploaded database, and select all the relevant tables. Then when the database needs updating you don't have to worry about breaking the odbc connection etc, just replace the database. hth, larry -- Larry C.

Re: [database update?]
Depending on how big the database is, if it is not too big why not just loop over each record in the new database and update the old records. Checking in each loop to see of the record is new, if so, Insert it. This is assuming that they do not change the database structure on you. This whole process would be made faster if the database that they feed you was designed to put a timestamp on each record any time a record was added or updated. That way you could just query the database for anything that has a timestamp after your last update. You could make it super easy on yourself by providing the person who gives it to you a url to go to and upload the new database to. The web site would automatically update the database, and the updater would know when the new data is up right away. jon - Original Message - From: "Peter Benoit" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, December 22, 2000 1:38 PM Subject: RE: [database update?] > It's a whole new access DB > > -Original Message- > From: Alex [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, December 21, 2000 3:08 PM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: Re: [database update?] > > > do you update the database (SQL statement) or replace the database with new > access DB? > > Peter Benoit <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I have an ODBC connection to my access database.
