Re: Short Question? CFOUTPUT converting " to "
My guess would be that the dump ends up with doubled double quotes and that is throwing something off if FORM.tex = "my string" then your dump is As you may know, double quotes in say form input field values can cause tags to break unless you wrap the value in something like htmlEditFormat() - so based on seeing that happen I'm assuming something similar is going on with your dump tag. shot in the dark - hope it helps Cheers *Bryan Stevenson*B.Comm.

I can get around this by doing a replace of " to " and then it works as I need, but it seems stupid to have to do that when the value is actually " to begin with. Just plain strange.

RE: cfoutput or cfloop? which is the more practical solution
Of course, after all that, I've been pulled away to another project. Although I haven't worked on it in mulling it over I haven't yet crossed the conceptual barrier. You have a series of dates when someone takes and leaves office. TABLE: Governor FNAME MNAME LNAME DATE START DATE END STATE PARTY DOB DODeath GENDER RACE RELIGION PLACE BORN PLACE DIED MILITARY SERVICE (ARMY CAPTAIN, etc) ... Say you want to do a query for all female governors in the 1990s SELECT FNAME MNAME LNAME DATESTART DATEEND GENDER FROM GOVERNOR WHERE DATEEND is greater or equal to January 1, 1990 and DATESTART is lesser or equal to December 31, 1999 (If a person is still in office the date is listed as December 31, 3000.) I'm trying to get my brain around how best to use a numbers/date table. How to create the query. Funny I just read you email a few minutes ago, after working on this for the past hour. -Original Message- From: Maureen [mailto:mamamaur...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, September 30, 2010 10:15 PM To: cf-talk Subject: Re: cfoutput or cfloop? which is the more practical solution Did you get this working?

Re: cfoutput or cfloop? which is the more practical solution
If you're using MSSQL, you can use my generateDateTable for creating a dynamic date table which you can use: http://blog.pengoworks.com/index.cfm/2009/1/8/Dynamically-generating-a-table-of-dates-in-Microsoft-SQL-Part-Deux While a numbers table is more efficient if you're dealing with 1000s of rows, this works really well for most use cases. -Dan On Sun, Sep 26, 2010 at 10:46 PM, GLM wrote: > > Thx Mike, > > I've started my reading early.

Thx Mike, I've started my reading early. One of my questions was: how much space would the numbers table occupy? Found that that 2G rows (2,000,000,000) is roughly 8GB in size. http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/SQLExamples/Wiki/View.aspx?title=NumbersTable I'll need at the most 365 x 3000 years if the clients wanted one database that went from Egyptian pharaohs to American Presidents (yeah right) that would be roughly 1,000,000 rows. This expanded table would be roughly 4MBs (1/2000 of 8GBs) so I don't particularly have to worry about size.

Re: cfoutput or cfloop? which is the more practical solution
I was thinking years, but you could do days as well. It depends on what you want to group on in the output. To save you some searching, below is SQL to fill a numbers table for SQL Server, if you go that route. As I said earlier, the other methods work fine also. I tend to prefer doing as much as possible on the database server, since databases are optimized for handling data. CREATE TABLE [dbo].[numbers]( [number] [int] NOT NULL, CONSTRAINT [PK_numbers] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ( [number] ASC )WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON, FILLFACTOR = 100) ON [PRIMARY] ) ON [PRIMARY] declare @counter int set @counter = 0 begin tran while @counter < 8000 begin set @counter = @counter + 1 INSERT INTO numbers (number) VALUES (@counter) print 'The counter is ' + cast(@counter as char) end commit -Mike Chabot http://www.linkedin.com/in/chabot/ On Sun, Sep 26, 2010 at 2:50 PM, GLM wrote: > > Maybe I don't have a clear concept of a numbers table (I'll be reading up on > them tomorrow.) but wouldn't I need a "number" to correspond to the units in > question (in this case days.) ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:337567 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
Re: cfoutput or cfloop? which is the more practical solution
If someone is in office with a range of 2004 - 2006, the year 2005 does not appear in the SQL results, yet 2005 needs to be grouped on. You can't group on a value that doesn't exist. There is no year column in the output to group on, only a start date and an end date. -Mike Chabot On Sun, Sep 26, 2010 at 4:02 PM, Russ Michaels wrote: > > Mike, > > why do you would you need to know the exact years to use grouped output? > This is not how it works. > Grouped output simply groups the output by the defined column > So if you group ny year, it will output all records with the same year > together allowing you to then separate the output, add headings etc. > > > On Sun, Sep 26, 2010 at 4:34 PM, Mike Chabot wrote: > >> >> The grouped output doesn't work because the exact years are not known >> in the query output.

Re: cfoutput or cfloop? which is the more practical solution
Mike, why do you would you need to know the exact years to use grouped output? This is not how it works. Grouped output simply groups the output by the defined column So if you group ny year, it will output all records with the same year together allowing you to then separate the output, add headings etc. On Sun, Sep 26, 2010 at 4:34 PM, Mike Chabot wrote: > > The grouped output doesn't work because the exact years are not known > in the query output.

RE: cfoutput or cfloop? which is the more practical solution
Maybe I don't have a clear concept of a numbers table (I'll be reading up on them tomorrow.) but wouldn't I need a "number" to correspond to the units in question (in this case days.) thx -Original Message- From: Mike Chabot [mailto:mcha...@gmail.com] Sent: Sunday, September 26, 2010 11:42 AM To: cf-talk Subject: Re: cfoutput or cfloop? which is the more practical solution If you go with the numbers table route, I should clarify that this is a standard technique that is commonly used, so you should be able to find a lot of information by searching on "sql server numbers table."

Mike thanks for the lead. It had crossed my mind to build a numbers table but I didn't think it would work. (I've never used them myself.) I thought that it was somewhat excessive as there would have to be at least 365x220 rows (over 80,000). In the examples I gave I think one row per year (220) would be more than good enough but there are numerous exceptions (people dying in office, getting nominated to higher office, etc...)

One technique involves joining to a "numbers table" which will transform the start and end dates into one row per year. You can use the cfloop technique in your first post.

Re: cfoutput or cfloop? which is the more practical solution
You can do this in SQL, although the methods I can think of involve advanced techniques so I hesitate to recommend them based on your stated SQL experience. One technique involves joining to a "numbers table" which will transform the start and end dates into one row per year. You can use the cfloop technique in your first post. It should get the job done. It isn't the fastest method, but it could be fast enough. One alternative to consider would be to have one big database query, then loop over the one query once and build up an array or a structure containing the data you want to output, then cfoutput the array or structure. -Mike Chabot On Fri, Sep 24, 2010 at 10:28 PM, GLM wrote: > > Thanks Mike, > > I'm not a SQL expert but I don't see how.

RE: cfoutput or cfloop? which is the more practical solution
Thanks Mike, I'm not a SQL expert but I don't see how. I can do something with particular fields such as the year the person was elected (governorDateStart) or when the person left office governorDateEnd SELECT governorParty, COUNT(governorState), governorDateStart WHERE gender=female FROM governors GROUP BY governorParty, governorDateStart And get something along the line of: 2001 - Republican - 2 2002 - Republican - 1 2003 - Democratic - 3 2003 - Republican - 1 2004 - Democratic - 1 2004 - Republican - 1 2005 - Democratic - 1 2006 - Republican - 1 2009 - Democratic - 1 2009 - Republican - 1 But what's desired is: how many are in office at a particular time.

Re: cfoutput or cfloop? which is the more practical solution
in your query only select only female governess then use the cfoutput group attribute to group by year, this will then only output records for the same year. you need to next 2 cfoutput. your output here On Sat, Sep 25, 2010 at 12:23 AM, GLM wrote: > > I have a database with presidents, governors, etc. and need to be able to > pull out information such as: > > > > Get the number of all female governors over the years and spit out > something > on the order of: > > > > 1789 : 0 > > 1790 : 0 > > . > > 2005 : 10 > > . > > 2010 : 6 > > > > The database has dateStarted, dateEnded > > > > I can loop through this [SIMPLIFIED CODE] > > > > > > > >SELECT > >FROM > >WHERE year == #desiredYear# > > > > > > > > > > This seems like a foolish way to do this.

Re: cfoutput query within cfoutput query
Hi Brandon, 1) Use a cfloop in place of a cfoutput tag for the inner loop. 2) in situations like these I recommend also scoping your variables, eg. the pets in the inner loop would be #pets.pet# 3) in general your approach should be revisited, mainly because it will create and execute a new query for each row returned by query "person", consider performing a join operation and reducing your approach to have only one query. Hope that helps, Dan On Fri, Mar 19, 2010 at 4:32 PM, brandon kennedy wrote: > > I have a situation where i need to display info from two queries on the > same row of a table.

Re: script.js file inside cfoutput
That's not much to work with, but my guess would be that you have an opening hash sign (#) before your javascript call and that's throwing ColdFusion off. Whenever you want to display a hash sign between tags you need to escape it like so: This would throw an error: Go to this section This would not: Go to this section Francois Levesque http://blog.critical-web.com/ On Fri, Jul 10, 2009 at 8:15 AM, RamaDevi Dobbala wrote: > > hi frnds, > > i have a problem > > like > > . > . > .Here i have my date field, > where i have to insert .js file, where ever i am insert it is not taking > the file > i am calling js function like this javascript:showID(..) > error is this > > ColdFusion was looking at the following text: > > javascript > . > . > . > > > > ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Re: Eliminating repeated data in CFoutput field

Re: Eliminating repeated data in CFoutput field
Hi Bob, That's not working because is just setting a empty variable named eName it's not updating the query variable eName. Since your in a cfoutput with a query attribute CF's going to look for a query variable that matches first. IIRC the order of lookup is query, arguments, local, cgi, url, form, cookie, client. I think this accomplishes what you are trying to do. Name Asset Category #variables.lastEmp# #aTitle# #cCategory# Since it appears you are sorting the query by the ename you could group output like so: #eName# - #aTitle# - #cCategory# Of course you'd have to customize the layout Nik On Wed, Mar 18, 2009 at 3:45 PM, BobSharp wrote: > > rom this output, I would like to eliminate repeated names > > eName aTitle cCategory > Doug Briggs HP Omni 510Notebook PC > Nick Heap IBM Netfinity Server Desktop PC > Nick Heap HP Omni 510Notebook PC > Nick Heap Motorola T60Mobile Phone > Audrey Ibbotson Toshiba Satelite XL Notebook PC > Karen Kear Viglen 733 Desktop PC > Karen Kear HP Omni 510 Notebook PC > Office Manager HP LaserJet XLLaser Printer > Office Manager Epson Phaser Laser Printer > Glyn Martin Toshiba Tecra 8000Notebook PC > Glyn Martin Nokia 7650 Mobile Phone Bluetooth > > I am trying to use a variable LastEmp and but the > output is just the same as the original. > > My script is ... > > > > Name Asset Category > > > > > > > > > #eName# > #aTitle# > #cCategory# > > > > > > > Am in anyway close to achieving it ? > > > > -- > I am using the free version of SPAMfighter. > We are a community of 6 million users fighting spam. > SPAMfighter has removed 12747 of my spam emails to date. > Get the free SPAMfighter here: http://www.spamfighter.com/len > > The Professional version does not have this message > > > ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:320681 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4

That said, it might not work as efficiently. With some CF tags, evaluation might occur on every loop iteration, and so you'd call the getallusers method over and over unnecessarily. I don't know if this would be the case with CFOUTPUT, but you could test that. Also, creating another variable has very little cost, especially since queries are passed by reference. I'd probably just create the variable and leave it at that.

Re: Calling functions with cfoutput
No, there is nothing inheritently wrong with it (though there are articled reasons for not doing it: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/coldfusion/extreme/bforta_cfc.html). I don't think there are any good reasons for doing it over using modules/includes/custom tags either. But anyways, the OP seemed to be having trouble with a simple problem and the language used (ie. "not getting printed to the form") suggested that perhaps he had come from another coding language and was not aware of the other options, hence my hint. I may be wrong in those assumptions but being aware of standard practice is no irrelevent thing. Dominic ps.

RE: Calling functions with cfoutput
I just have to comment... Saying that "using a function to output isn't really the done thing in CF" is ridiculous... The CF language has many features and, used appropriately, they can all be used for just about anything in a safe, consistent, and understandable way. Good designs do not have to be constrained by trivially simply rules like that one. That said, good designs also follow guides such as using naming conventions, encapsulation, separation of concerns, use of inheritance where appropriate, etc. These are the practices that people should strive to improve.

Ok, this would be fairly easy to normalize with a join table. user_grouping -- userID groupID Then you would have records something like iskinner 135 jblow132 pIhrig135 pIhrig132 Your query would then work exactly as you want it to. Without the modification to your database you are not going to be able to get these results. You are going to have to finish the processing in your CFML. One of the easiest ways would be to convert the valueList() resutls to a structure which would consolidate all duplicates then retrieve the list again with structKeyList(). But if you have a choice, normalizing your database is much more flexible and scalable. ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;192386516;25150098;k Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:305192 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
Re: easy one! : comma separated list from cfoutput
If that's what you're doing then why not have a user_groupings relational table that holds the user_id and group_id?

Re: easy one! : comma separated list from cfoutput
In that case you would probably either have to move the values to a look up table (normalize) or uses a function to tease out the dupes.

Paul Ihrig wrote: > ORDER BY ascList > > that still gives me > ascList > 132 > 135 > 135,132 It looks to me like you have a de-normalized database scheme there that stores a list of values in a column. If that case then that is the result you are going to get. '132', '135' and '135,132' are three distinct and separate values. If this is the case then you are not going to get a SQL solution. You will need to do something in ColdFusion after the fact. Or better yet, if you can, normalize your database so that you are not storing lists of values in a column. ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;192386516;25150098;k Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:305184 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

Wait... I cant remember if I wrote those or not. I have a library of list
functions... Some I wrote, some I got offa CFlib. Don;t want to take credit

You can do it using a QoQ and Select DISTINCT
OR
I wrote a couple of functions to do this. One day I will post them to
CFLib.
/**

function ListDeleteDuplicates(list) {
var i = 1;
var delimiter = ',';
var returnValue = '';
if(ArrayLen(arguments) GTE 2)
delimiter = arguments[2];
list = ListToArray(list, delimiter);
for(i = 1; i LTE ArrayLen(list); i = i + 1)
if(NOT ListFind(returnValue, list[i], delimiter))
returnValue = ListAppend(returnValue, list[i], delimiter);
return returnValue;
}
/**
* Case-INsensitive function for removing duplicate entries in a list.
* @param list List to be modified.
* @return Returns a list.
*/
function ListDeleteDuplicatesNoCase(list)
{
var i = 1;
var delimiter = ',';
var returnValue = '';
if(ArrayLen(arguments) GTE 2)
delimiter = arguments[2];
list = ListToArray(list, delimiter);
for(i = 1; i LTE ArrayLen(list); i = i + 1)
if(NOT ListFindNoCase(returnValue, list[i], delimiter))
returnValue = ListAppend(returnValue, list[i], delimiter);
return returnValue;
