MR> I'll bet. I wasn't lumping you in with His Majesty's royal attitude. :D MR> Did you look at Michael Dinowitz' cf_maketree? He mentioned it earlier on in this thread. I use it and its pretty cool. Its quite fast, and not that much slower than cfx_fMakeTree (which is MR> blazing fast). I seriously doubt any method written in CF could come close to this method as far as speed. In fact I'd put money on the fact that the serial/hash method is many orders of magnitude faster than even the nested set method when reading. MR> Michael's method requires zero recursion, and none of the loony gymnastics you're going to have to get used to when all you want to do is reorder, move, delete, add records etc. Those looney gymnastics took my one day to write...a long time ago, and they still work. I consider rewriting an entire queryset kinda looney myself. Even a modified (to allow unlimited levels) adjacent list model would be faster and cleaner imo, to say nothing of the Celko method or any of it's variants which are the cream of the crop right now. MR> The cfx_fMakeTree tool runs faster given its nature. It has the advantage over the old cfx_maketree written originally by Allaire in that it allows you to retain your query sort, as does MR> Michael's straightforward tag. Unfortunately both tags are platform specific as well. -- jon mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
