Strange issue with cfquery
Hello,
I am running CF 8 on an Oracle database. I'm trying to pass in a SQL script as
a string and keep getting the error: ORA-00907: missing right parenthesis.
This is what I'm trying to do:
cfset sendMethod = createObject(component,components.sendMethods)
cfset sendMethod.init(dsn = request.selecteddns)
cfset sql=INSERT INTO nkonye_associated_person /
cfset sql = sql chr(10) chr(13)
(ADDED_DATE,ASSOCIATED_PERSON_ID,IS_REMOVED,PATIENT_ID,PROFILE_ID,ADDRESS_LINE1,ADDRESS_LINE2,ADDRESS_LINE3,ADDRESS_LINE4,ADDRESS_LINE5,ASSOCIATED_RELATIONSHIP_ID,ASSOCIATED_RELATIONSHIP_OTHER,DAYS_ATTENDED,EMAIL,FIRST_LANGUAGE_ID,FORENAME,FREQUENCY_OF_CARE,INTERPRETER_REQUIRED_ID,IS_KEYHOLDER,MODIFIED_DATE,ORGANISATION_NAME,OTHER_COMMUNICATION_ISSUE,POSTCODE,PREFERRED_LANGUAGE_ID,PREFERRED_METHOD_ID,SURNAME)
/
cfset sql = sql chr(10) chr(13) VALUES (to_date('2009-10-07
13:07:28','-mm-dd hh24:mi:ss'),8,0,17,142,'122 Cleland
hospital',null,null,null,null,1014,null,null,null,null,'Borlotti',null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,'Bean')
/
cfset sendMethod.doRunScript(#sql#) /
The doRunScript method is as follows:
cffunction name=doRunScript access=public
cfargument name=sql type=string required=yes
cfquery datasource=#request.selecteddns#
#sql#
/cfquery
/cffunction
Is there a workaround for this?
Thanks,
Nikki

Re: CFFILE ERROR
I found it:
maxContentID is the name of the query
#ExpandPath('/contentFiles/#*maxContentID*#_#language#.cfm')#
This works
#ExpandPath('/contentFiles/#*maxContentID**.contentID*#_#language#.cfm')#

It used to work fine but all of a sudden the red line is causing the

The most likely cause of the error is that you tried to use a complex

as a simple one. For example, you tried to use a query variable in a cfif
tag. *
Any suggestions?
First, I'd suggest that you not use nested hashes. Instead of this:
#ExpandPath('/contentFiles/#maxContentID#_#language#.cfm')#
use this:
#ExpandPath('/contentFiles/' maxContentID '_' language '.cfm')#
However, I don't think that's the cause of your problem. Instead, I
suspect that one of your variables contains something other than what
you think it does. Use CFDUMP to see what's in those variables.

ok, tried this, it failed on the var scoped line instead of the structAppend line... same error message though.

I don't remember if you posted any code, but I get by this with the following: cfset Variables.contVal = inline;filename=#Variables.myFileName# / cfheader value=#Variables.contVal# name=content-disposition cfcontent type=#Variables.myType# reset=Yes variable=#Variables.mySpreadsheetVar# Before All that I build the spreadsheet and put it into Variables.mySpreadsheetVar. What version of CF are you on? Are you using HTML, CFSpreadsheet, or some other method to generate the spreadsheet? I had an issue similar to what you had before, but I started building the spreadsheets using POI then when they get pushed to the browser they are in true spreadsheet format instead of html pretending to be xls (or xlsx). Sometimes the browser would see the xls extension but would then check the content and see html and act weirdly. By using the poi I not only get rid of those problems but it also got rid of the Excel Not in the same format popup. If you can consider this option let me know and I may be able to help a little. Also, do you have access to the server itself? I upgraded the POI that comes with ColdFusion to the latest version and I can do a lot more extra stuff.

Why inline provides the dialog box option of remembering the download decision but using attachment does not give that option (at least in IE) is very inconsistent but not surprising.

Upgrading ColdFusion from MX 7 to 9 - Any Advice, Guidance, Best Practices, Etc?

Also, does anyone have any type of best practices document, upgrade guide or whitepaper that I could review? Any help would be greatly appreciated; thank you so very much in advance!

Re: wrap function question
According to the docs Wrap() uses the OS line separator which is different on Unix/Mac and Windows. That might cause an issue because for unix it only looks for \n but on windows it is probably looking for a \r\n. So if you are on windows, and your example text only used \n to break lines, then it would produce the results you got. Try passing a true into the third argument to strip out existing new line chars, or you might need to find / write a UDF if you want to preserve existing line breaks.

RE: JQuery Ajax Error issue with Site-wide Error Handler
What I've done to work around a similar type of issue is create a return
structure that is always consistent from all ajax calls. The data returned
looks like this:
{
data:'',
err:{
errmsg:''
}
,
success:true
}
Errors are caught on the server side, (via try/catch, or site wide handler)
and the data structure above is returned with an error message/object and
success is set to false. No errors, then success=true and the data object
holds the returned data.
Client, side your application can either use the data returned, or handle
the error if success == false.

Re: Ajax + 2 functions = error
is your component cached in some persistent scope (session/application)? it sounds like you have added the getTest() method after the component has been instantiated - and thus its instance has no idea about the getTest() method added later...

Re: slow cfquery cfqueryparam?
On Wed, Nov 10, 2010 at 12:40 AM, Richard White wrote: [query with 6600 cfqueryparams taking 9 seconds vs. 1 for plain SQL] In understand that adding the cfqueryparam is adding approx 6600 validations, however would it really be the cause of slowing this query down so much? cfqueryparam is not adding 6600 validations. Each use of cfqueryparam is causing one variable to be set on the database side. So without cfqueryparam you are sending 1 SQL statement to the JDBC driver, with cfqueryparam you are first sending a prepare command with the 'structure' of the query, then the command to create an instance of it, then 6600 commands to set the 6600 parameters, then the command to execute it. I am not familiar with the wire protocol for MySQL and can not look into the propietary JDBC driver Adobe uses for MySQL, but I would not be surprised if this were implemented as a synchronous protocol and there is significant roundtripping between the database server and ColdFusion. You are testing the pathological worst case scenario for cfqueryparam. In addition to the overhead from specifiying the variables in separate statements, you add the overhead for preparing the query and caching the execution plan, and then you only execute it once. But anyway, do you really care? If this is part of a scheduled job that takes a few hours anyway ...

CFMAIL Speed Issue
I'm having an odd issue with CFMAIL that comes and goes and Im not seeing a reason for it. Environment: 2 load balanced 64-bit windows 2003 servers with 8GB RAM and 2GHz Quad-core processors running CF8 I have a mailer process which processes 1000 messages at a time and alternates between the 2 web servers for relay (modifying the server attribute of the cfmail tag). Normally, this process can handle 1000 messages in under 15 seconds. From time to time (now being one of those times) it will take 3+ minutes to generate them. From what I can tell, the bottleneck is in the generating phase (where it actually creates the messages and drops them in the Spool directory). The background process which actually sends the email files off to the relay servers seems to be running normal. I've tried setting the spooler to the disk or to memory and the speed is the same (maybe slightly faster via the memory setting, but still takes several minutes to complete 1000 messages). I've got the following jvm settings: *java.args=-server -Xms3072m -Xmx5120m -Dsun.io.useCanonCaches=false -XX:MaxPermSize=192m -XX:+UseParallelGC -Xbatch* Frankly I don't really know what some of that does but I know we are using up a crapload of memory which I assume would be a good thing. There's nothing else really running on these servers except IIS and CF8. I'm at a loss right now. Any ideas would be helpful.
