Re: CFINDEX - how to add/update a single record in an existing collection?
I ended up taking Dave's query for a single record approach because it simplified a number of things. Because of the nature of the app, I update some of the data one column at a time, but it still needs to be indexed immediately. I have a CFC with an updateCollection method that I just pass a collection name and record ID. Followup question. What contributes to the degradation of verity collections? Will updating single records in a collection kill verity search performance? What strategy should I take with repairing/optimizing collections...scheduled task to do it hourly, or would just once a day suffice?

RE: CFINDEX - how to add/update a single record in an existing collection?
As for optimizing, I would consider doing it daily if you're making several updates and/or refreshes throughout the day. If you're only doing a refresh once a day, then I would optimize once a week or no more than once every other day. I think it would be overkill to optimize every day if you're only refreshing once a day.

Re: CFINDEX - how to add/update a single record in an existing collection?
Boy, it's just my day for search-related questions. I'm seeing something weird here and want to know if this is normal. I'm creating an index from a database query. The collection contains about 14k records, and the initial collection size (immediately upon creation) is about 79MB. Optimizing that collection after it is created reduces the collection size to about 37MB! Now, given that all the total size of my database is only about 100MB and that there is a ton of other data in there, I'm willing to believe that the post-optimization size is the correct one, and that collections suffer from some amazing bloat when they are created. So, first, is my experience consistent with that of others, and second, would a better strategy be to create a collection and then optimize it immediately afterwards?

RE: CFINDEX - how to add/update a single record in an existing collection?
Yes, I agree. I only used this as an example since he said he already had his query info for one record. At least that was my understanding of his dilemma. The main point, Pete, that Ray I are both trying to make is that your CFINDEX can be exactly the same whether your query has returned 1 record or 1,000. You don't need to add all the pound signs, etc., just simply identify the proper fields in the right places and that's it. The number of records returned in the query is irrelevant. If we haven't answered your question, please let us know!

RE: CFINDEX - how to add/update a single record in an existing collection?
Pete, Actually, you would just execute a CFQUERY that would return that one record, and as long as your KEY is the same, issue your cfindex just like you would if you were indexing a query with 1,000 records. cfquery name=getNewDataCardForIndexing select [your fields] from [your table] where [your criteria to return just the new record] /cfquery cfindex action=UPDATE collection=coll_datacards type=CUSTOM key=id title=name query=getNewDataCardForIndexing body=name, cardcontent, metadata That's all you need to do. Now, you could also build the query dynamically if you don't want to re-query your databse, using the query functions.

Well, since I know that I have had my LiveDocs edited or removed before, I don't put a lot of creedence in them, and I certainly wasn't impressed when I was notified of what was going on.
