and I've been annoyed with relying on structs to pass values by refrence to functions ... and some of my fav ADO tricks won't work with CFQUERY ... and ... I'll admit there are some great CFMX bits that piss all over ASP classic (eg CFFILE action="upload"*, XML functions, etc) but that's why ASP.NET was invented... (* but why MAKEUNIQUE goes file.xtn, file1.xtn, ..., file11111.xtn, etc, beats me) I was reading http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/mx/coldfusion/extreme/cftags_cfscript.html and it finally struck me: Wow! CF has real functions now. It's almost as powerful as PHP! the logical conclusion of the article was to do away with CF tags and use CFSCRIPT for everything... I'm just having a bad day trying to bend CFMX, RDS and DWMX to my will...and not winning... -----Original Message----- From: Beattie, Barry [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, 15 August 2003 10:46 AM To: CFAussie Mailing List Subject: [cfaussie] RE: ASP conversion evaluate <% myTest1 = "testing" response.write(eval("myTest" & "1")) %> as for QofQ: sorry. not to my knowledge. All recordsets are a drain on resources (esp RAM). You make your recordset, you use it. Why query it again? you certainly DON'T do anything crazy like dump it in a session variable - threading issues. that thread has to come around again before it can be accessed and every body queue's up waiting. I suspect that CF has just as much strain with query results as ASP - it's just CF people won't admit that dumping query results into memory for a while (even session or app scope!)to process it is a bad thing! I've read on CF sites that the use of evaluate and QofQ is NOT recomenmded for performance reasons. Doesn't sound like much of a feature... just a $0.02 rant cheers barry.b -----Original Message----- From: Ricardo Russon [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, 15 August 2003 10:16 AM To: CFAussie Mailing List Subject: [cfaussie] ASP conversion I currently am developing in asp. and finding it tedious at best. Just creating the database connection is enough to send you crazy. If anyone has any knowledge of asp, I would appreciate if you could offer some advice on the following Creating dynamic variable names. something like Evaluate()? And running a query of queries.
