Verity in coldfusion sucks, to put it very plainly.

I don't know whether this is justthe Verity implementation included with
CF, or whether this is Verity on the whole.
If anyone knows a good alternative to Verity then please please please
let me know.

I have stopped planning ANY solutions that use Verity, or any of the CF
Java controls such as CF Grid in my projects...because they just don't
work reliably.

Try limiting the fields output by your CFQUERY with a MaxRows function
and see if it works.
Slowly increase this MaxRows and see at what point it crashes...

I got this error myself, and would really like to know if the above
works for you as well :)

Subject: CFIndex for Verity quit working


Hi everyone,

My client has an MS Access 2002 db which is periodically uploaded to the
ISP server (Win XP-CF 5) and a CFIndex Action="refresh" run on it.  This
process has been used successfully for several months now.  The db when
we started was about 4.5mb in size, now it's grown to about 11mb.  

The client does a compact and repair prior to uploading each time.  

The db only contains one table and one form, the table has an autoindex
numbering for each record (no duplicates), and three other corresponding
fields for each record (all memo fields).

The problem is, the CF index has quit working on this database.  I have
not changed a single line of code.  The CFQUERY prior to the CFINDEX
used to retrieve the db records works normally.

The CFIndex hangs, and the Access db goes into a locked condition
(db.lbd).  This whole process used to take about 1 minute for an
indexing routine, now it won't work at all. I've had the ISP reboot the
server but that doesn't help either.  I've tried deleting and recreating
the collection, which works, but it doesn't solve the problem.

Below is the dbrefresh.cfm code for your review.

Any ideas on how to resolve? HELP!!! I'm really stuck.  Is there a file
size limit that Verity won't work with if it exceeds that limit? (such
as it working with a 9mb file size, but not an 11mb file size).

BTW:  You're probably wondering, the client insists on working on the
Access db on his client machine, then uploading to the server - he
refuses to go to SQL 2000 if it means not being able to keep a copy at
his office.  It's his life's work.


<!---Query the database for each of the faq to get the various db table
fields-->       
        <cfquery name="indexdb" datasource=#REQUEST.dsn2#>
        SELECT ask_ID, publication, keywords, abstract
        FROM oscar2002
        </cfquery>
                                        
  <!---Index the contents of the query object using CFINDEX--->
        <CFINDEX ACTION="REFRESH"

         KEY="ask_ID"
         TYPE="CUSTOM"
         TITLE="publication"
         QUERY="indexdb"
         BODY="publication, keywords, abstract"
        CUSTOM1="publication"
        CUSTOM2="keywords"
        LANGUAGE="English">

Thanks,
Mark
