I don't know how to get a listing of all available drivers, but you could always check individual ones using one of these methods http://carehart.org/blog/client/index.cfm/2006/8/8/checking_jdbc_driver_version It assumes you know the driver names, but you could get that information by viewing the contents of macromedia_drivers.jar HTH Janet ~| Get involved in the latest ColdFusion discussions, product development sharing, and articles on the Adobe Labs wiki. http://labs/adobe.com/wiki/index.php/ColdFusion_8 Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:292586 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
Re: CF 8 Enterprise Database Drivers
Is there a particular reason you want to play with the drivers? John Mason Nope, I'm hoping not to have to. But we are beginning the documentation process on how to build a brand new server here. A place that has not seen a new server since CF 4.5 was new and shiny.

Re: CF code inside database column
I am building a site where I want the user to be able to drop in various elements so they can customize the way the site looks. I have a custom tag that takes an argument of something like products.main and that corresponds to an item in the database which has a text field with html and possibly another cf tag to drop in something else inside that, like a set of links, i.e. products.links...so that's what i'm trying to accomplish. Maybe I could use Mary's suggestion and just use a standard placeholder and regex out the names and then run those through my custom tag wrapped around a savecontent and then regex back in the output into the text and then cfoutput all of that. I'll give that a try. You have to write it out to a file beforehand, and then cfinclude it... But I have to ask.. why are you doing this?

RE: CF in a database
The short answer is no. The long answer is you can do it by writing the CF from the DB to a file, and the include that file.However, that's nasty because you have the compilation cycle every request, and writing files and then deleting them adds a lot of overhead.Back in the pre-MX days, I know some people used this solution on a RAMDISK which probably worked pretty well, because there wasn't a precompile cycle (the CFML was interpreted).

RE: CF in a database (my apologies)
If the data does not change that often, you should be okay writing it to a cfml file and then including it. On future uses of the data you can check to see if the file already exists and if not re-generate it, and if it does, just include it. Whenever the data in the DB record is updated, also delete the generated cfml file which will force the script it to re-generate it the next time it is requested. I do this with one of my apps and it works good. [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings]
RE: CF in a database
I've not tried this in MX (have they actually improved it that much?) but in previous version EVALAUTE() would NOT evaluate tags, only expressions. So you could do EVALUATE(#myName#) or EVALUATE(#Len(myName)#) or even EVALUATE(#Iif(Len(myName), DE(Hi), DE(Bye))#) But NOT EVALUATE(cfoutput#myName#/cfoutput) Of course since 5.0 you could also abstract much of the Tag work you might need into UDFs allowing you to perform much more complex evaluations.But in the end also remember that Evaluate() is one of the most expensive and slowest of the CF functions so that that into account.

Re: CF - post to database question
Both options are possible, although the e-mail option would have more possible points of failure (i.e. mail not deliverednot read properlyforgot the attachement etc.) The only really tough part here is extracting the data from the file.There are many customs tags to extract data from Excel files, so have a look at the MM Exchange.Grabbing data out of PROPERLY formatted flat file (CSV...tab delimited etc.) is very easy (but if the formatting is off you're up the creek).You simply use CFFILE to read the file in question.That is read into a variable which you then loop through to parse out the records.Remember that the first row is usually the column names...other than that pay specialattention to the row delimiters and the column delimiters (these will allow you to seperate out each record and then each field in that record).On each pass of the loop you insert your data.

Re: CF and Progress Database ODBC drivers
I ran into this sort of issue with Sybase. We needed to create a ODBC datasource with the SYBASE tools and connectivity options. I think we actually tested with M$'s ODBC test tool. So, I would check to see what Progress offers in the way of ODBC connections. Assuming they do, create an ODBC source with those tools, refer to it via CF, and away you go.

RE: CF and Progress Database ODBC drivers
So long as you can connect to the database via standard ODBC, you should be able to set it up as a datasource. If the pro version of CF 451 can't do it, then possibly the Enterprise edition would. Or you might have to get a 3rd party driver. A 3rd party driver might work, but Allaire's not going to give you any technical support for that. Anyway, try setting up a datasource first via the control panel and see what happens. ---mark -- Mark Warrick Phone: (714) 547-5386 Efax.com Fax: (801) 730-7289 Personal Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Personal URL: http://www.warrick.net Business Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Business URL: http://www.fusioneers.com ICQ: 346566 -- -Original Message- From: Cold Fusion [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, June 27, 2000 1:01 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: CF and Progress Database ODBC drivers I have an IIS box running CF451 and I want to be able to connect to a progress database which runs my companies financial applications.

RE: [cf-talk][OT] : Database Theory
If your DB allows constraints to be function calls, then how about setting
up a generic values table and using a stored procedure to validate, e.g.
CheckValue ('TABLE', 'COLUMN', mycolumn)
the stored procedure would access the table 'GENERIC_VALUES' which has a
structure like:
table_name,
column_name,
value
with multiple rows for each table_name/column_name combination, e.g.
Row 1
table_name = 'employee'
column_name = 'gender'
value= 'male'
Row 2
table_name = 'employee'
column_name = 'gender'
value= 'female'
Row 3
table_name = 'employee'
column_name = 'gender'
value= 'not given'
Could also fire this off a trigger if you can't make the call in the
constraint.

Subject: [cf-talk][OT] : Database Theory
this is a question of db design.
suppose i have a field in a table that can contain only 3 values, eg.
Membership type - 1=Ordinary, 2=Associate and 3=Founding. I
would like to
check how you ensure that it contains only these values.
i see that there are 3 methods:
a. constraint it by foreign key. meaning there is a table
with only 3 rows
of data,
b. stored as an integer value (1, 2 or 3), use check
constraint to enforce
it.
c. stored as a string ("ordinary", "associate" or
"founding"). use check
constraint to enforce it.
i prefer method (a) for this reason : there is no need for
the CF templates
to interprete the meaning of the values. however, it seems
quite silly to
have a table with 3 rows on data only. but there are also advantage of
future expansion. but what about gender which has only 2
possible value (at
least in the foreseeable future).
what's the general opinion on this? thanks.
