Dunno .. ill be taking it next month so any pointers would be doubly welcome :¬)
There is a program called CFMX Buster which generate exams that you might wanna try
out then there's the old CFMX study guide. Wonder if there will be any 6.1 questions

Practice and more practice, id guess. The exam does expect you to know most
attributes of tags and knowledge of most functions. Also you will be
presented with code for which you need to find the error or say what the
output will be.
If you want a good revision guide get ben fortas cfmx exam book
I find the CF(MX) Buster program and the Ben Forta guide also comprehensive for this
exam.
I used them for the CF5 exam and the questions were very similar to the example ones.

if you look at the outline on Macromedia.com and look over the syllabus for
the fast track to ColdFsion, Advanced Coldfusion for Developers, and Fast
Track to SQL courses and make sure you're comfortable with all of those
topics, you'll be fine ;)

I have got Bens book. Very good indeed and also took a few example exams on
Bens site, even better and quite encouragingly been scoring 75 - 85% each
time. However, I downloaded the CFMX buster trial and failed miserably which
means its back to the books for the next few days as my exam is on
Anyone like to share their opinion on improving coldfusion speed either by using
stored procedures or caching queries?
Which one is better? Or does it depend on the query.
At the moment I have a mixture of them both with dynamic queries as SP and basic
queries q_GetCountries and q_GetStates as
storedprocs are great as the are semi precompiled but if the datapath
changes on each query you wont see much performance enhancement
one way to increase performance is to cffile the most visited pages down to
HTML pages and serve those up instead of the CFML if no updates have occured
since the
general rule of thumb is that caching queries will be MUCH faster. If the
queries are dynamic, this can be more difficult to efficiently do, though.

another alternative (and I'm only putting it forward as an alternative, cos
I'm usually a publish to flat html kinda guy) is to add the queries into a
shared scope (eg application) and then just read the application query as

Course, this is
Here:
script language=JavaScript
!--
function submitForm() {
document.haselect.xxx.value = Please Wait...;
document.haselect.xxx.disabled = disabled;
return true;
}

/script
FORM name=haselect action=index.cfm method=post
onsubmit=submitForm();
INPUT name=xxx type=submit
one of the things we implemented, was when the admin was updated we changed
one of the 'admin variables' so that the next hit on the front end of that
page, would change the cache time out to 0, and therefore the page would
update without the need for wait for a cache time out - this really needed

Well, as others have noted Caching a query is the daddy but if you want
to ensure that code and pages are as up to date as humanly possible and also
gain a speed advantage then go for SP's... We have been getting somewhere
like 200% speed increase on some queries using SP's over the mutlitude
though and I know from experience that CFSTOREDPROC has some
issues with multiple resultsets coming back from CF so, as
someone mentioned using exec may be a better path.
I've never experienced problems with multiple recordsets and CFSTOREDPROC.
You can't use exec and cfquery to run SPs that
yeah we only use cfstoredproc calls when it's imperative to get 2 or more
result sets back, which poses a problem for caching, if you go down the exec
route, you can still cache, and gain benefits from both systems... :)

Hi folks,

Duncan,
I searched for e* and got a large resultset, but anything else I try
yields nothing. Is e* shorthand for return everything?
Yep, the values of SearchCollection and Form.Collections point to the
same collection and I've hard coded the collection name in to make sure.
I'm only indexing
e* means get everything that starts with e and has anything after it. e
being the most common letter, it's usually a good way to get at least some
results. so you can get results, just not the ones you want.
try broadening your search, to perhaps the*, which should again give you
some results
I've searched for the*, the, *the*, etc and get no results. I know
that the appears in the recordset.
I tried a windows search on the and got plenty of results. Scanning
through the files in the collection, I can see that Verity seems to have
successfully indexed the text.

Hey it's started yielding results! Most search criteria works now, but
some words still won't return results (but I KNOW that they should!). At
the moment I've established that the and bt don't return results but
they both should. Everything else I'm trying is returning results now. I
didn't
actually 'the' was maybe a bad example, as I suspect Verity might be
stripping out common words like this, in the same way Google does. not
sure why 'bt' wouldn't return results though - too short?
if some results that should be coming up aren't, it's usually due to an
error in the indexing.
Is there an option to suppress indexing 'common' words (like 'the').
And 'bt' almost never gives results :) (Sorry).

Hmm, true enough when I re-indexed it yesterday I left it running for
over an hour it still hadn't finished.
Today, however, it's been re-indexing fine. Tomorrow I'll purge the
whole lot, put in some cflocks (hadn't thought of that) and start again.
I'm not quite sure what the recursive indexing
recursive is only useful if you have a nasty child parent relationship

Allan,
Stored procedures don't improve speed that much unless you are doing
multiple queries in one page. This is then a better example for using stored
procs because of the lack of client server handshaking needed after each
query.
Cached queries however are much faster but beware that you
