Yep.
The way we did it was to store the tasks in the database and have a
regularly scheduled program (or cfschedule) go through and send off each
search. Most of our data was time sensitive, so we could just re-apply the
search where date_entered > last_sent_date.
If your search isn't that easily distinguishable, you might look into doing
something like serializing the query with WDDX and storing it in the
database... The main point is you can pull it out later and parse it at your
liesure.
I probably wouldn't try this all in Cold Fusion, definitely not all at once.
We actually wrote the processing app in another language so as to be
multi-threaded, compiled, extra-fast, etc., and our Oracle box was fairly
beefy. ;)
And I've just been beaten to the response!
