Re: cfqueryparam to varchar raw problem
I found that if I decouple the encrypt_column from the insert script by requesting it from dual first, that it then works fine. While I would prefer to do it without a two-step process, this works fine for now. cfquery name=qInsertF9099AlienInfo_prep datasource=#application.dbDataSource# select Encrypt_Column(RPAD(UPPER(NVL(cfqueryparam cfsqltype=cf_sql_varchar value=#arguments.inStruct.a_alien_last_name#,' ')),56,' '),'CFASJAAAEPTSKEJPI') as a_alien_ln from dual /cfquery cfquery name=qInsertF9099AlienInfo datasource=#application.dbDataSource# INSERT INTO F9099_ALIEN_INFO( F9099_id, alien_last_name ) VALUES ( cfqueryparam cfsqltype=cf_sql_INTEGER value=#arguments.inStruct.l_F9099_id#, cfqueryparam cfsqltype=CF_SQL_VARBINARY value=#qInsertF9099AlienInfo_prep.a_alien_ln# ) /cfquery ~| 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:358707 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: Moving part of my hosting business - thoughts about my plan please ...
I like RHEL/CentOS because they are pretty stable and they don't do bleeding edge, main bug/security fixes, you have to upgrade to the next major release to upgrade major versions of many packages. Yeah what Pete said, I have been on Centos and RedHat for years. It is very stable but the package manager seems to be a few versions behind the latest release of software packages. This is mostly for security and stability reasons, i.e. they err on the side of caution. Which is fine and dandy with me. There are a multitude of hosting CF's out there what will automate a lot of, if not most, admin chores. But the downside of these are of course security concerns. The most infamous of which is Kloxo: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kloxo#Security_issues So caveat emptor and do your research first.

We use CentOS extensively here at CFWT and have many customers using it as well. Very solid. -Original Message- From: Gerald Guido [mailto:gerald.gu...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, June 03, 2014 10:29 AM To: cf-talk Subject: Re: Moving part of my hosting business - thoughts about my plan please ...
