Remember a flat-file database via ODBC is doing exactly the same thing. And its a database where do you draw the line, when is it a database and when is it not.

RE: Flat File as a Database?
Curious, you mentioned that a database can't be 'installed' here. Someone had mentioned earlier that you might be able to use an Access database. I have very limited exposure to them, but beyond creating the connection in the CF Administrator, I think all that is done is the database file is uploaded to a directory on the site. No additional server installs are required. Please correct me if I am wrong on this. Would this solve the criteria?

Re: Flat File as a Database?
You can use a delimited text file (flat file) by setting up an ODBC data source that uses the Microsoft text driver for .txt or .csv files. I find it easier to use tab delimited files instead of comma delimited because occasionally you'll encounter commas in the data. The Microsoft text driver is available in the ODBC manager under user, system and file data sources. Hope this helps. I'm sorry, I can't go into detail about the reasons why we are limited to a flat file. But the reasons are legitimate, and cannot be circumvented. Absolutely no database can be installed.

Re: Flat File as a Database?
The terminology you are using is inconsistent since you say no database but flat file is a type of database. Back before the Web existed, flat file databases were the most common types of databases. FileMaker Pro was a flat file database product, and it was the top selling database product for a long time. Some people use MS Excel for databases or delimited lists as databases. XML is a common data storage format these days. I have worked on systems that used the file system as the database. Maybe the client is unclear what the definition of database is. The requirement of no database would imply that you are not allowed to store any structured data. -Mike Chabot On Mon, Jan 26, 2009 at 2:39 AM, Bob Wright thecfprogram...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Kym, thanks for the reply.

Re: Flat File as a Database?
MX 7 has some decent capabilities with XML, if that's a viable option, I've done basic CRUD with XML, however if you have data that's in any way relational it gets complicated really quickly; not to mention, the XML files can be cumbersome and get huge pretty quickly if you're capturing data to them. Make sure that your client knows that forgoing a database means that any data captured is only as secure as the web server that it's sitting on. No database usually means that your client wants to be able to pick up and move the site on a whim. Bob Wright wrote: Thanks all for the replies.

RE: SQL query sorting problem
The proper solution would be a separate table that contains the state codes with their desired sort order. That table is joined to the main table. This is probably best if you have to list all 50+ states. If you only need to list three states, then I would use CASE as Azadi suggested. In MSSQL: SELECT state ,CASE WHEN state = 'NY' THEN 1 WHEN state = 'CA' THEN 2 WHEN state = 'FL' THEN 3 END AS stateSortOrder FROM cities ORDER BY stateSortOrder mike Jim McAtee wrote: DBMS is MySQL 5. I have a report that is generated for cities within several states. The states are designated by their two letter postal abbreviations and are in a certain order. For example: 1. NY 2. CA 3. FL I would like the records of the report sorted by the original state order, then by city name. I can pull the data for the report in single query, but can't figure out how to maintain the state order. Turning the state list above into a comma delimmited list (NY,CA,FL), my query looks something like: SELECT * FROM cities WHERE state IN (cfqueryparam value=#states# list=yes) ORDER BY state, city Except that I lose the original order of the state list. There are a number of workarounds, such as looping through the states and doing one query for each. Or run the single query shown above and then in a similar manner loop through the states and do a QoQ for each.

Re: Flat File as a Database?
the flat file will be effectively a database. May be the problem is your interpretation of the term flat file. A database is a structured set of data. A flat file is an unstructured file, then by definition cannot be a database. May be you (your non idiot client) means independent file or stand alone file, which is different. There are many database systems that use undependable files. The simplest may be Access: only one file per database. Or even FoxPro : one directory per database, one file per table or index. But a true flat file would only be a representation of a database, like XML. An XML file, or an SQL code source file, can be used to represent a database as an exchange format, for import/export purpose, but it is not workable. ~| 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:318529 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4

Re: SQL query sorting problem
DBMS is MySQL 5. I have a report that is generated for cities within several states. The states are designated by their two letter postal abbreviations and are in a certain order. For example: 1. NY 2. CA 3. FL I would like the records of the report sorted by the original state order, then by city name. I can pull the data for the report in single query, but can't figure out how to maintain the state order. Turning the state list above into a comma delimmited list (NY,CA,FL), my query looks something like: SELECT * FROM cities WHERE state IN (cfqueryparam value=#states# list=yes) ORDER BY state, city Except that I lose the original order of the state list. There are a number of workarounds, such as looping through the states and doing one query for each. Or run the single query shown above and then in a similar manner loop through the states and do a QoQ for each. Is there a way to do this in a single query? You can do this in a very easy and elegant manner with MySQL. No need for join or nasty case statements SELECT * FROM cities WHERE state IN (cfqueryparam value=#states# list=yes) ORDER BY FIND_IN_SET(state, cfqueryparam value=#states#), city NB. the second cfqueryparam is not a list, its just a comma seperated string like NY,CA,FL ~| 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:318543 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

Re: Flat File as a Database?
Just an idea: I think you can use MS ODBC to deal with delimited text file as a database or You can do this: 1. Convert the text file as a recordset. This can be done by converting your delimited text file (CSV) to CF Query (recordset) 2. Use QoQ for select operation against the recordset. 3. For insert operation, you can use queryaddrow - querysetcell 4. For update operation, you can use querysetcell 5. For delete operation, you can put a marker - an extra field to denote whether that record should be removed or not When you are finished, you can then rewrite the recordset back into CSV. (Don't forget to exclude records marked for deletion above) HTH, Rizal www.masrizal.com ColdFusion Custom Tags And More At 11:12 PM 1/26/2009, you wrote: You never did clarify if by flat file you mean text file?

Re: Printing out a List of all my servers data sources
How do I go about printing out a list of all my CFadmin data sources with the location of the source files as well? I would like it for back up purposes in order to recreate the dsn's if I want to move the server. If you have access to the server's filesystem, just grab neo-datasource.xml if you're using CF 8, or neo-query.xml if you're using CF 7 or 6. If you have access to the CF Administrator, and have CF Enterprise or are willing to temporarily remove your serial number so that your server will have CF Enterprise trial version, you can create a CAR file with all your datasources from the CF Administrator, and then just read from the CAR file on the new server.

Re: How do I traverse XML using ColdFusion?
I'd like to hit the list up again on this subject if I could. Ezra helped me immensley, but I'm still having trouble. First, just so Ezra knows, this authHeader business you gave me worked just fine. I'm authenticating and am able to call methods. BUT, it's not working like I expected -- or even like the getIPAddress() example earlier in this thread. I take for my example another relatively simple method call: getYears(). This method takes exactly one argument: a string representing the CountryCode (U = United States, C = Canada, B = Both). Now the C# example shows something like: ws.getYears(U) Wouldn't it be lovely if that's all *I* had to do, too? But no. When I look up the Years element in the WSDL I find: s:element name=Years s:complexType s:sequence s:element minOccurs=0 maxOccurs=1 name=sCountryCode type=s:string/ /s:sequence /s:complexType /s:element It's a complex type. Well, thanks to Ezra I know that this means a CF structure. So I create a structure with a member called 'sCountryCode' and I set it to U. So my code becomes: cfscript wsurl = https://www.blackbookws.com/UsedCarWS.asmx?WSDL;; portname = UsedCarWS1; portname = UsedCarWS; ws = CreateObject(webservice, wsurl, portname); authHeader = xmlNew(); authHeader.UserCredentials = xmlElemNew(authHeader, http://localhost/webservices/UsedCarWS;, UserCredentials); // authHeader stuff here... ommitted for space... args = structNew(); args.sCountryCode = U; response = ws.getYears(args); /cfscript cfdump var=#response# So, response is now an object of type localhost.webservices.UsedCarWS.YearsResponse that contains several functions. Just like in the getIPAddress() example there was a method that required no arguments that allowed me to get the returned data. In this case it's called getYearsResult(). Here comes the problem. When I run getYearsResult(), instead of getting back some sort of data structure with all of the available years in it, I get another object with methods like: equals(java.lang.Object) getDeserializer(java.lang.String, java.lang.Class, javax.xml.namespace.QName) getSerializer(java.lang.String, java.lang.Class, javax.xml.namespace.QName) getTypeDesc() get_any() hashCode() set_any(org.apache.axis.message.MessageElement[]) This confuses me even more. I have verified with the web service provider that I am authenticting correctly and that the function is getting called. I can't tell what data is coming back, but it is running and wouldn't do so if I didn't authenticate correctly, so that's not the issue. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong (other than trying to consume a SOAP based web service)? This is obviously much, much easier in a .NET environment.

Re: From and ReplyTo address, CFMAIL and Spam filters...
So long as CF is authenticating against their mail server with a username and password, it shouldn't matter what address is in the From header. Make sure that CF logs in to the SMTP server with a valid username/passw] According to HostMySite - sending from the server isn't the problem. All email reported missing was actually sent, according to their logs. However, heavy handed spam/spoof filters elsewhere on the way to the final destination are looking at email being sent by mail server A, but a from address of mail server B, and are filtering because of the domain mismatch. So, the from address should be a trusted address from the same domain as the mail server to avoid filtering. The replyto address can be anything, and that's where the form sender address needs to be.

Re: Dreamweaver CRASHES!!!
I have found Dreamweaver to be a very stable application.

[2] Delete any folders or files that might be left in the install directory [3] Delete any user preferences (in windows, they're in C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS4\en_US\Configuration [4] remove any keys in the registry [5] reboot. Then you should have removed every reference to Dreamweaver. Then I'd advise starting again from the beginning.

Re: Dreamweaver CRASHES!!!
I ditched DW when I switched to an AMD Turion 64x2 processor. DW spikes 50% on one of the dual cores and stays that way until a drop down menu is selected. The issue showed up on the Adobe boards, but there was never a resolution that I saw. I'm pretty sure this was only with CS3... but I never tried CS4 to find out. That's what drove me to CFEclipse, but I've never really minded.

I can pull the data for the report in single query, but can't figure out how to maintain the state order. Turning the state list above into a comma delimmited list (NY,CA,FL), my query looks something like: SELECT * FROM cities WHERE state IN (cfqueryparam value=#states# list=yes) ORDER BY state, city Except that I lose the original order of the state list. There are a number of workarounds, such as looping through the states and doing one query for each. Or run the single query shown above and then in a similar manner loop through the states and do a QoQ for each.

Select the Help-Software Updates-Find and install menu option. 2. On the screen that is displayed, select 'Search for new features to install' and click the 'Next' button. Now click the 'New Remote Site' button. 3. Enter a name for the update site, for example CFEclipse. In the URL box, enter http://www.cfeclipse.org/update; and click the OK button. 4. You should now have a 'CFEclipse' node in the 'Sites to include in search' box. 5. Tick the 'Stable CFEclipse' box and click 'Next'. 6. Eclipse will contact the CFEclipse site and retrieve the list of available plugins. Tick the plugin with the highest version number and click 'Next'. 7. The next instructions are self-explanatory, agree to the license, install the software and restart Eclipse 8. Once Eclipse has restarted CFEclipse should have been successfully installed. 3. open eclipse and right click in navigator panel and choose new project 4. that brings up a window called select wizard, open up the cfeclipse folder and choose cfml project 5. new window called cfeclipse project: type in your project (or sites name), next if it is a new empty site and you want to use the default location hit next, if you want to use your own location uncheck the use default location box and choose your location. For example since I am on a mac I keep my web site folders in a directory called sites, so I brouse to that folder and go in and select my projects folder and hit next and you should be done. 6. open up the project in navigator pane and go to work. ~| 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:318595 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

Re: Dreamweaver CRASHES!!!
But, does it actually explain how to set up a project and actually use the UI? ;) I'm already in the middle of getting a tutorial together for setting up a new CFEclipse project. I don't mind releasing it, but it won't be finished until at least tomorrow. Matthew Williams Geodesic GraFX No I have searched and none show the details. I just want to find one, just one tutorial that will tell me which version of the software to download. JUST ONE. ~| 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:318600 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
Re: Dreamweaver CRASHES!!!
I have experienced DW crashing...but i don't think that was since the first or second version (5 6 I believe)that came out after Macromedia bought Allaire. I don't recall having that issue with 8. As far as eclipse...I have had a problem with an install just not being right. All i had to do was re-download it and all was well. Eric Aar Eric do a search on the net for people experiencing dw crashing - its TONS. This is a $400 piece of software made by a leading company. The more people defend it and ignore the issues, they aren't going to fix it. I have used DW for a least 5 years and have had similar problems. ~| 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:318601 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4

I am not the only one having these issues, Mr Certified CF guy. we have reinstalled the software and I'm over it. i will never purchase or recommend the purchase of dreamweaver again. I have wasted MANY a nights work on DW. Of course it should work, and of course you shouldn't have to go through the steps outlined previously.. but hey, it's a computer and as much as you complain about it, it's still going to be a computer. So, instead of pissing on the people that are trying to help you, try their advice and then you'll be wasting a lot less bandwidth and getting more work done.. end result: win win :) Mike ~| 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:318602 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
Re: Dreamweaver CRASHES!!!
http://trac.cfeclipse.org/cfeclipse/ Currently CFEclipse does not work well with Ganymede (line numbers are broken). If you want stable - we recommend you continue using Eclipse 3.3 (Europa) for a stable user experience. http://trac.cfeclipse.org/cfeclipse/wiki/InstallingCfeclipse You must first have Eclipse installed. For basic needs the Classic install will be fine. This is pretty clear. Regardless, I got Eclipse 3.4 and the place to add an update site is rather obviously under Help - Software Updates. Click the Available Software tab and hot the Add Site button. Use the URL from the install instructions and CFEclipse shows up after a refresh. mxAjax / CFAjax docs and other useful articles: http://www.bifrost.com.au/blog/ 2009/1/27 Torrent Girl torrentg...@gmail.com: But, does it actually explain how to set up a project and actually use the UI? ;) I'm already in the middle of getting a tutorial together for setting up a new CFEclipse project.

Re: Dreamweaver CRASHES!!!
I would have thought it did. My guess is that you installed hacked software and that's causing your problems. That, or you've downloaded hacked software and are trying to get a fix for it. WTF? BitTorrent is just a distribution method. Where did this hacked software crap come from? Not all BT users use cracked software, and not all cracked software comes via BT. People are going to form conclusions like this whether you like it or not. It might do you well to provide your real name or something more legitimate. Pfft. Just because some people are ignorant, doesn't mean she should go changing her handle. Seeing the word torrent and jumping to omg illegal software should result in being smacked round the head with a good sized encyclopaedia. :P And if you are such a person, please refer yourself to such a source, and you'll encounter the many more meanings that the word torrent can have: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torrent :) ~| 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:318605 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
Re: Dreamweaver CRASHES!!!
Sorry I meant - WHICH VERSION OF ECLIPSE DO I DOWNLOAD? Best to grab 3.3 Classic. It is possible to use 3.4, but there are more issues that way. ~| 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:318606 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
