Re: Need to convert all CFquery tags to lowercase
Do you need all of the query lowercased or is there part that you want to keep uppercased? If you don't care then this regex will do the job: (]+>.+?) \L\1 The first line grabs all cfquery tags and their content and the second like converts it to lower case. I'd test the regex against all of your templates first to see if there are any cases that you want to avoid. You can use just about any regex tool to do the job, including writing a fast tool in CF to do the job. -- Michael Dinowitz On Fri, Feb 26, 2010 at 4:57 AM, phil phil wrote: > > Hello, > > I do need to migrate from Access to MySQL on a Windows and shared server > environment. > All existing queries (approx 2000) are failing because they are not > lowercased. > > Does anyone know of a script that would look into every files for the CFquery > tag and lowercase its content between? > > This is the only solution that comes to me but maybe there is a easier way? > > Thanks in advance for any feedbacks. > > Phil > > ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Re: Need to convert all CFquery tags to lowercase
As far as I know there is no requirement in MySQL for queries to be lowercase. I just ran one in all uppercase and it worked fine. There has to be something else causing this problem.

Re: Need to convert all CFquery tags to lowercase
It seems that the table name is case sensitive but not the columns. For e.g if I change the name of the table to 'company' from 'Company' then it cannot find the table because in MYSQL it is referred as 'Company'. BTW, we are on Linux which I understand is case sensitive. >If I recall right, you have to switch case sensitivity on, are you saying >that is what your host has done? > > > > >Hello, > >I do need to migrate from Access to MySQL on a Windows and shared server >environment. >All existing queries (approx 2000) are failing because they are not >lowercased. > >Does anyone know of a script that would look into every files for the >CFquery tag and lowercase its content between? > >This is the only solution that comes to me but maybe there is a easier way? > >Thanks in advance for any feedbacks. > >Phil ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Re: Need to convert all CFquery tags to lowercase
yes. REReplace. The pattern your trying to match is the first line. It says that we're looking to capture something that starts with a cfquery tag, has content, and then ends with a closing cfquery tag. The replace has a \L before the content returned from the pattern (the query tag). \L means that everything that comes after it will be lower cased. End result is a whole cfquery tag along with body converted to lower case. -- Michael Dinowitz On Fri, Feb 26, 2010 at 7:07 AM, phil phil wrote: > > It cost me to make the below code to work.

Once you have it set to some setting and have clients on it, a hosting provider is committed and can not change it anymore. But why not do the conversion on the Access side before migrating to MySQL? In Access you can simply rename the tables to the case you use in your queries before you convert them.

To turn it off you have to set it to 0 --lower-case-table-names=0 I think that the default setting is to lower case table names... It was a while back so forgive me if I am hazy on the details. More details can be found here: http://www.heidisql.com/forum.php?t=667#p3653 http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/identifier-case-sensitivity.html The way I got a round it was to either do a search and replace and lower case the table names in the code or to change the table names in the database using a MySQL GUI. Again, I forget the details, I was in a bit of a rage at the time. ;) HTH G!

Re: Need to convert all CFquery tags to lowercase
Problem is that in my code over the years the table name can be as 'Company' or 'company' so just changing the table names in mysql to lowercase is not enough but yes a necessary step (can do it from the GUI: PHPadmin) Then as you wrote changing all occurrences of the table names (1500 cfquery tags) to lowercase. I choose lowercase but it could be also uppercase as long as everything on the code and db is coherent. Anyway that is the only solution that I find at this time. Changing the db to0 be case non sensitive because as someone already mentioned it is a shared environment so other clients would get in troubles.

If your hoster offers PostgreSQL you could use that and have your case insensitive table names?
