RE: Access alternatives (WAS: Security gurus out there?)
The point in the whole discussion is not whether to use MySQL for your projects, but WHEN to choose MySQL for your projects. Running a simple website is pretty much a MySQL job, but when you are doing some serious development whereas business processes heavily rely on database data, data integrity and maintaining (even forcing) it is of such an importance you have those features available. Still people say, hey that list is outdated. Sure it is, it has been created in if I recall, about autumn of 2003 on a dutch IT forum as a result of months of MySQL gibberish and a person called ACM had written it out but still most of the points still affect current releases. Most companies lack updates, not upgrading to newer versions, still suggesting older versions are more mature, and thus the result is the posted listing. Using InnoDB overcomes some of the MySQL behaviour but still out of the box The whole point about MySQL is actually only one: The software doesn't have capabilities of maintaining AND forcing constraints or relationships. ;) Somebody asked what database to choose then, I would suggest looking at PostgreSQL if you need a free solution.

Re: Anyone looking for a java WYSIWYG online textarea replacement...
Bonjour Claude I think we are both coming at this thing the same, but just from a slightly different direction. I agree with almost everything you say, but personally I would prefer to see the standard layed down agree by all before it is implemented. Implementing something without telling anyone else first is where the problems come from. I agree the standard should be expanded and improved upon, of course as technology so the standard in to expand to include new things, but simply sitting there and going, oh this is a good idea i'll stick that in simply isn't a good way forward for the developer community. I think the W3C need to take more external advice from developer how actually have to use their standards in day to work, not just from the people that make the browser products like MS and Mozilla. BTW, you English is excellent...

To: CF-Talk [EMAIL PROTECTED] I agree that the Mozilla documentation is poor, maybe if you feel that strongly you could offer to help write some, If I were one of the author, I sure would do. But not being one of them, I would need docs to learn how it works first. ;-) The problem with Mozilla is that they refer you to the W3C docs, but these are even worse. I don't agree that sticking to the standard should mean expanding upon it. I stick to the French language standard as much as I can. But I'm also able to use English, ... well at least I do my best ;-) The standard is there so the people like us whole program DHTML in the browser know that if you use a command in one browser it will work in all browsers that comply with the standard in the same way. Exact, this is why those who write standard have a big responsability: make a standard that makes sense. W3C standard does not. Just to cite a few flaws: - no block elements are not resizable (ie: span) Why? Is it so difficult to implement? IE was able to resize non block elements even before the standard was written. - no integer values for element dimensions (ie: pixelLeft, etc.). in order to work on them, one must parse text properties that include units at the end. Now this is really ridiculous, DHTML is supposed to be done by programming or what? Expanding on the standard only causes problem as IE has shown. Adding extra stuff only causes programmers problem, Again, I agree with that, but not when adding extra stuff is need to palliate a lack of functionality in the standard. Take for instance WYSIWYG HTML editors, the unbeilivable number of available species proves there is a need for them, it is a shame there is nothing in the standard to make one. Microsoft has implemented HSTML editing with the execCommand method. Now Mozilla has implemented similar facilities (although not as functional), and this is not in the standard. And last but not least (See my English, wow! ;-) the role of any standard is NOT to show the way, it is to set a common basic practice for everybody. If everybody was strictly complying to standard, there would be NO standard, and nothing to standardize. It is thanks to developers who make extras that new ideas can come and enrich standards. When Netscape -- a great company before it was swallowed by AOL -- brought us _javascript_, it was NOT standard, now _javascript_ is part of the standard, for the benefit of all of us. -- ___ REUSE CODE!

Re: XML verity indexing problem
I'm not 100% sure about this, but I think the version of Verity shipped with CF is so old that it does understand that your page with the extension .xml is rendered like an HTML page in the browser and therefore doesn't know how to parse it. I had a similar problem with PDF file recently. The Verity with CFMX can only read PDF up one created with version 4 of Acrobat so when I asked Verity to index about 300 PDFs created with Acrobat 6 it simply ignored them. The solution I came up with was to use a third party Java API (pdfbox) to extract the text from the PDF file and then pass that text to verity. Worked like a treat. Maybe you will need to do something similar to extract the text from your XML pages and pass that to Verity with the filename of the page. Also, I'm not Verity can index CFM page either, as it would need to call the CFM and get the returned page. I'm pretty sure that Verity only reads files. So it will index you HTML pages as it simply reads the file, removes the HTML tags and indexes the remaining text. Verity can be very good, but it need some tweaking. Also, if you have a good budget, and I mean good, you could look at using Verity Ultraseek as that will spider a site and index pages, pdf, etc and all you do is give it the base URL. You can connect to it with CF as a web service, it is pretty easy. But like a say Ultraseek is not cheap. Hope that helps.

I'm a fairly new CF developer. I'm having weirdness indexing a website that is mostly a collection of XML pages. I'm really stumped. Can someone help me? If I create the verity collection via the colfusion administrator and add .XML to the extension types, it will properly create and index the site and the XML files will show up in my search. However, I need to use the programmatic method rather than the administrator because content on the site changes frequently and I want to schedule a CFM page to index the collection automatically at intervals. So, I programmed CFM pages to create a collection and then index it. In the cfindex, I have specified .xml as an extension type in addition to the standard HTML, CFM, etc. However, when I do a search the indexed collection only returns HTML files. even though XML and CFM has been declared as extensions to index as well. I tried using action="" and action="" I even tried action="" followed by action="" but no dice. Any idea why this is the case? I've cut and paste my code for creating an collection and for indexing it.

I quote, for foreign keys, transactions and triggers. Correct me If I am wrong but this comes from the MySQL site. Note that, for the moment, only InnoDB tables support foreign keys. See section 16.7.4 FOREIGN KEY Constraints http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/InnoDB_foreign_key_constraints.html . Foreign key support in MyISAM tables is scheduled for implementation in MySQL 5.1. Using the InnoDB or Berkeley DB (BDB) storage engines, the MySQL database server supports transactions. Upcoming Features - Support for stored procedures was added in version 5.0, and support for triggers will be added in version 5.1.

Re: Access alternatives (WAS: Security gurus out there?)
there's an idea (i don't want to say generally held but it sometimes seems so) among folks serious about their databases that mysql isn't quite right-in-the-head. a few years ago the developers of mysql had this funny publicly stated attitude about transactions as being a fancy, unnecessary function. they used to brag about it. i've always been suspicious of it since then--maybe a reformed harlot is more zealous but i can't help thinking deep down there's something still loose zany lurking. and of course it currently doesn't do unicode which makes it kind of useless to me even for the most trivial applications.

For instance you are using Auto_Increment INT field and you are using it as your order number.Maybe you want all of your order numbers to be a specific length. I actually found it usefull with barcodes which in the US are only 12 digits but in Europe are exactly the same format but 13 digits long.Adding a zero to the beginning of a US code makes it a European compatible code. -- Jay [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings] [Donations and Support]

I still don't understand what can be the cause of this. it was fine before please advise. could someone tell me that whats wrong with this netstat report the website is not opening from the same machine, the rest of the world can open easily but not getting open from the same machine. Is your web server configured to accept requests to the localhost address? My guess is that it isn't.

Re: XML verity indexing problem

I'm having weirdness indexing a website that is mostly a collection of XML pages. I'm really stumped. Can someone help me?

Re: Cold Fusion and Oracle Unsupported Data Conversion
I'd found that out, too, and ended up adding error catching in the PL/SQL to always make sure that I opened the ref cursor and passed it back, even if it was empty. - Original Message - From: Adrocknaphobia ** this is a response to a post from 3/9/2004 which never seemed to be resolved ** Explanation of CFMX Oracle JDBC database error Unsupported Data Conversion This issue occurs when using RefCursors to return queries from oracle via a stored procedure. When you declare a RefCursor it is NULL until it is populated with the OPEN ... FOR syntax. If any sort of error or premature return from the stored procedure occurs, Oracle still passes the RefCursor to CFMX. CFMX cannot convert the NULL RefCursor to an empty query. Now, if oracle performed and OPEN...FOR on the cursor and no rows were returned, then the RefCursor is successfully passed back to CFMX as it is no longer considered NULL. This one can be a little tricky to debug, especially you have good exception handling. In my case I was catching and returning an error before it got to populate the RefCursor. But CFMX threw it's Unsupported Data Conversion before it threw the actual error. This is def a driver/cfmx issue as you will not see this error in any form in SQL*Plus.

DHTML Drag and Drop to reorder record set
Hi, I'm not a DHTML guy by any means. Could someone point me in the right direction to figuring out how to use DHTML to take a record from within a record set, drag it to a higher or lower position, and have it change its position within the record set? Basically what I have is like a to do list. But lets say I want to take item #5 and drop it between item #2 and #3 so it becomes the new #3 and the old #3 becomes #4 and so on. I've got the logic basically but not the code. Any good tutorials or examples of something similar?

Re: Problem with accented character in file names and CFFILE
I believe this is a multilanguage issue. Check on multilanguage settings in your CF Admin if you have access. Or, if it is expected that people will be naming things using accents frequently, parse out accented letters and replace with the corresponding unaccented letters prior to executing your CFFILE. Much like you would do should you not want people to use numbers or such.

RE: DHTML Drag and Drop to reorder record set
I'm not a DHTML guy by any means. Could someone point me in the right
direction to figuring out how to use DHTML to take a record from within a
record set, drag it to a higher or lower position, and have it change its
position within the record set?
Guy,
I recently set up a drag-and-drop system for moving terms around within a
taxonomy structure at a library.I used _javascript_.Requires a bit of
doing, but it works really well.I won't go into all the detail, but
hopefully I can give you enough to get you started.If you need more, let
me know.
The basic idea is that each drag and drop event triggers a
location.replace() to a new page which processes data in the URL and
location.replace()s back to the start page.To the user, the effect is that
an operation takes place without leaving the start page.
To make this work, you need to understand the _javascript_ drag-and-drop
events, paying particular attention to which element fires the event.
onDragOver
onDragEnter
onDragStart
onDragEnd
onDrop
There might be a couple of others, but these are the ones I used.
On entering the page, I set a global variable that stores the ID of the
element being dragged, first with a dummy value (var dragID = -1;).This
global ID is intended to be the place to check what element is being
dragged.So, you have to set the onDragStart event to trigger a change in
that global variable.If, for example, you have a hyperlinked task item
with unique ID 645, you can add >
to the a tag.In enableTermDrop(), you set that global variable (dragID)
to #TaskItemID#, or 645.Similarly, onDragEnd, you run a routine like
disableTermDrop() that sets dragID back to -1.Now, whatever is happening,
you always have the ID of the item currently being dragged in dragID.
Next, you set the onDrop event of the target elements (those onto which
other elements are dropped) to fire something like launchTermDrop().Pass
the ID of the target element as an argument.That way, launchTermDrop() has
the target (from that argument) and the element that is being dragged and
dropped (by reading global variable dragID), and you are in business.Build
a URL to a page that knows what to do and location.replace() to that URL.
You can make this much more sophisticated by adding more global variables to
store other parameters pertaining to the term being dragged.This will
usually involve adding many more arguments to the event-driven function
calls.
VERY IMPORTANT: develop a naming convention early, and stick to it
religiously.With the terms drag and drop flying around, and with seven
total events that are triggered by different items, this will get confusing
very fast.I used the convention drag{VARIABLENAME} for the item being
dragged, and target{VARIABLENAME} for the target element.
Finally, to get really fancy, you can add keypress sensitivity to the
launchTermDrop() routine.This will let you handle the drop differently if
the user is holding down the Ctrl key, for example.
A bit confusing, but VERY MUCH WORTH IT.You end up with a very slick app.
If the tasks being performed are at all repetitive, you get a huge increase
in productivity.What used to take several mouse clicks and keystrokes will
now take one drag and drop.
Good luck!

Re: DHTML Drag and Drop to reorder record set
Basically what I have is like a to do list. But lets say I want to take item #5 and drop it between item #2 and #3 so it becomes the new #3 and the old #3 becomes #4 and so on. I think in your case, I wouldn't use true drag'n drop, I mean drag events. Drag events are really to copy some content and paste it some where else. In your case, what you want to do is just identify an element in an array and rearrange that array depending where you drop the element. Just use mousedown event to identify the element being dragged, change the cursor, and use a mouseup event to identify where the drop occurs, But do not use drag events for this, it is much too complicated for what you need. -- ___ REUSE CODE!

RE: Capture cflocations/redirects
I'm experiencing some kind of redirect/cflocation endless loop.Is there some easy way to trap the iterations of this loop so that I can see what is trying to redirect to where? Ian, I don't know if this applies, but when I have confusing and unplanned page-to-page routing, I add a dummy URL variable to suspect statements that do the routing.That allows me to see whether that statement is in fact the one doing the redirecting, since the page it arrives at will have the variable in the URL.Since you have a loop, I would both add this dummy variable and cut the loop somewhere, so that it stops in its tracks.By trial-and-error, you should be able to test each of the redirects. I'm afraid that it's not the easiest way in the world.Still, it shouldn't take more than a few minutes to find the problem.

With CF 5 this results in characters with accents being treated as opaque, while in CF MX this will throw exceptions in the driver. The solution is to convert the database from SQL-ASCII to unicode. In order to do that: - use pg_dump to dump the current database to a flat file - open the flat file in an encoding aware text editor and save it as UTF-8 (or use a dedicated conversion utility) - create a new database with encoding unicode - use pg_restore to load the dump into the new database - verify that everything works well from the new database - verify again :) - rename the old and the new databases Jochem [Todays Threads] [This Message] [Subscription] [Fast Unsubscribe] [User Settings] [Donations and Support]

SOT: More drag and drop
Ok, I know this is off topic, but the previous questions about the onDrag and onDrop events got me curious and since most government employees (my customers) are off today, I'm kinda piddling around with some ideas.With that said, I got some onDrag and onDrop events working with images dropping one on another.However, I can't seem to get it to work with text unless I select the text and then drag the selection. I'm basically trying to make a webmail program along the lines of what Microsoft did with the new Outlook Web Access where you can select a message from the list (From, Date, Subject) and drag it to a folder and have it move.I think the basic problem is that any time I click to drag, it selects the text.Anyone have any ideas on how to make the text so it's non-selectable or some way to make this work?I would appreciate any ideas that you would have.

Re: More drag and drop
not 100% surebut the text could be in a div and the div could have somehting along the lines of onFocus(this.blur;);of course that may stop you from dragging it as well ;-) Bryan Stevenson B.Comm.

Check out the dragdrop library at http://www.walterzorn.comWe've used it for a couple things, and it's pretty slick. cheers, barneyb On Fri, 3 Sep 2004 13:20:13 -0400, Burns, John D [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Ok, I know this is off topic, but the previous questions about the onDrag and onDrop events got me curious and since most government employees (my customers) are off today, I'm kinda piddling around with some ideas.With that said, I got some onDrag and onDrop events working with images dropping one on another.However, I can't seem to get it to work with text unless I select the text and then drag the selection.

request scope and grouped output
Hi All, I have a table that I would like to replicate each time the output loops through, based on grouping. However, within the table there are outputs that call to the request scope variables. That in turn throws an error as the request scope variables aren't a part of the grouped query's record set. Help?

Re: request scope and grouped output
You can definitely call request-scoped variables from inside loops. Are you scoping the variable call with request.? cheers, barneyb On Fri, 3 Sep 2004 13:46:11 -0400, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi All, I have a table that I would like to replicate each time the output loops through, based on grouping.

Need Function or UDF that does this...
I need a function or udf that is like find() or findNoCase() except that it searches backward from a starting point instead of forward. In other words, it finds the first occurance of a substring within a string but searches backwards from a starting point.

Re: Need Function or UDF that does this...
Still use Find() or FindNoCase()...but reverse the string using Reverse()...like so FindNoCase(Reverse(MyString)) HTH Cheers Bryan Stevenson B.Comm.

If there isn't one at cflib.org already, it wouldn't be very hard to write yourself. The key part would be something like: find(substring, reverse(myString)) reverse() is built in to CF, so nothing special needed. Regards, Dave.

Re: Need Function or UDF that does this...
How about passing the string to reverse() first.Won't be perfect, because you'll need to reverse your search string as well, and then subtract the returned index from the length, and unreverse everything to use it, but it'll function.YOu can wrap all that up in a UDF pretty easily. Or, if you're on CFMX and feeling adventurous, you can use the lastIndexOf() method of the String class like this: str = this is a test string; i = str.lastIndexOf(is) + 1; I'm finding the last index of the string is.Make sure you add one to the result though, because Java is zero-indexed while CF is one-indexed. cheers, barneyb On Fri, 03 Sep 2004 13:59:31 -0400, Josen Ruiseco [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I need a function or udf that is like find() or findNoCase() except that it searches backward from a starting point instead of forward.

RE: DHTML Drag and Drop to reorder record set
It doesn't do everything you want, but the core of it can be accomplished easily using my ObCollectionOrdered _javascript_ abstraction here (long URL alert!): http://www.depressedpress.com/depressedpress/Content/Development/_javascript_/ Extensions/ObCollectionOrdered/Index.cfm The collection object allows you to store object while maintaining order and provides full rank and sorting functions to move elements around, promote them, demote them, sort them, swap positions, etc. There a sample on the site than shows you how to do this in a Select list. I've used it to do something similar to what you're asking about - I populate a div by looping over the collection and displaying it's elements (how you do that is up to you).Then the interface determines how to order them - for example if you drag onto an element you can easily insert that object into the collection.Then all you have to do is rerun the display function. In essence all you're doing is making changes the abstraction object based on interface events and then redisplaying it.Don't bother trying to modify the display to represent your object manipulations: just redisplay the whole thing from scratch._javascript_ is so fast it makes no difference and it's much, much simpler. Jim Davis From: Guy McDowell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, September 03, 2004 10:13 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: DHTML Drag and Drop to reorder record set Hi, I'm not a DHTML guy by any means. Could someone point me in the right direction to figuring out how to use DHTML to take a record from within a record set, drag it to a higher or lower position, and have it change its position within the record set? Basically what I have is like a to do list. But lets say I want to take item #5 and drop it between item #2 and #3 so it becomes the new #3 and the old #3 becomes #4 and so on. I've got the logic basically but not the code. Any good tutorials or examples of something similar?

Re: Need Function or UDF that does this...
These suggestions are all good. The problem I have is that I am searching out text from an cfhttp call. When I reverse the cfhttp.filecontent it becomes a huge mess and is difficult to work with.
