Re: Storing decimal parts of a second cfqueryparam
OK, just not my night with decimal values. Trying to store distances (for throwing and jumping events), which are measured in feet and inches. In order to maintain proper sort order, I decided to convert feet and inches (with fractions of an inch as decimal value) to inches with fractions of an inch as decimal values. Again, database is SQL Server 2008, and I'm using cfqueryparam. Data type for the column in question is decimal(18, 4), and I'm using CF_SQL_DECIMAL as the cfsqltype value. I can see in the debug output that the decimal portion of the value is part of the value to be inserted, for instance, 825.25, but looking at the database table, the stored value is 825. Here's the debug output for that query: *insertResult* (Datasource=track, Time=2ms, Records=1) in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\track\enter_results.cfm @ 21:59:59.059 INSERT INTO tblEventResults(eventid, athleteid, time, distance, competition) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?) Query Parameter Value(s) - Parameter #1(CF_SQL_INTEGER) = 1 Parameter #2(CF_SQL_INTEGER) = 1 Parameter #3(CF_SQL_TIMESTAMP) = Parameter #4(CF_SQL_DECIMAL) = 825.25 Parameter #5(CF_SQL_BIT) = NO Should I be using a different precision value for the decimal datatype? Or am I just doing something idiotic? Thanks, Pete On Sat, Feb 26, 2011 at 4:59 PM, Pete Ruckelshaus pruckelsh...@gmail.comwrote: Hey, that did it! Thanks!

RE: How secure is RDS
Short answer, how secure RDS is or isn't is really not the issue. What is more important is that security fundamentals demand that you don't run anything not completely necessary on production boxes. Your HTTP server is necessary, remote access services (be it RDS or FTP or ...) are generally not necessary and therefore should not be running. Now on a development box, sure, go ahead, but on production boxes, nope, don't. --- Ben -Original Message- From: Bryan Stevenson [mailto:br...@electricedgesystems.com] Sent: Sunday, February 27, 2011 2:07 PM To: cf-talk Subject: How secure is RDS let's try that again... ;-) Hi All, Way back in the day I was told RDS was horribly insecure and I wrote it off and never looked back.

RE: How secure is RDS
Thanks Ben/Matt! Now I did mention that Flex says it REQUIRES RDS to be enabled in order to use Flex data services. The only alternative I see is to call the CFCs as webservices instead of as a Flex data service. Calling local webservices would have a tonne of extra overhead.seems like the wrong way.

RE: How secure is RDS
I don't see any where that it mentions using RDS to communicate with Flex-ColdFusion.

I can see in the debug output that the decimal portion of the value is part of the value to be inserted, for instance, 825.25, but looking at the database table, the stored value is 825. Why not store two fields; one for feet and one for inches. That seems like the easiest way to do it other than just use one float for both. The decimal issue is probably more a database issue than a CF issue. ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:342617 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Thanks in advance Cheers No, it's saying if you use Flash Bulder, you should have a server setup with RDS so you can develop, this is 99% of the time a local coldfusion install with RDS. Figure 1. Using CFCs in Flex application development 1. First, you create the CFC function and set its access property to remote. Then you use the Flash Builder Data Services wizard to connect to the CFC. 2. The wizard actually goes out, retrieves the CFC, etc.. For wizards to work, you would need RDS accessible form somewhere (localhost) but the end result is still a ColdFusion Component set to Access Remote. ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:342618 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Re: How secure is RDS
I don't see anything about RDS in that article. The only thing I can think of if you saw it somewhere else is that RDS can be used to generate CFCs, but still, do this in dev only. You have several options for hitting CFC via remoting, including RTMP and AMF. There are lots of good articles out there on configuring endpoints in your services config. As for creating the objects in CF and making them available to Flex, here's one from a fellow I quite trust: http://blog.nictunney.com/2010/10/using-coldfusion-orm-with-flash.html -Nic On 2/28/11 7:21 PM, nic.tun...@nictunney.com nic.tun...@nictunney.com wrote: I'll check the link when I am home, but I use flash remoting all the time which uses blaze ds under the hood.

Check out my other reply. For the CF side of things you should be good to go. In Flex the wizard should help you point ot your services-config, but I;ve seen Flash Builder mess that up.

Re: How secure is RDS
Most of my apps use multiple clients. I many times have a serviceProxy and remotingProxy. At a real basic level the remotingProxy mirrors whatever I need in the serviceProxy as remote methods. The service layer can be RESTful (put/get/post/delete), as Andrew suggested, or can be regular methods depending ont he needs of your application. What the blog post shows I how to package up your data using data transfer objects.
