Re: What the heck is happening during CFQUERY?
What we are really talking about here is having the right tool for the job. dBase, Clipper and FoxPro are all database management systems, and so are designed to work efficiently in examples like the one you are citing. ColdFusion is a Web Application server, designed to interact with a database to deliver web content. By the very nature of Web applications, you wouldn't want to be leaving open database connections all over the place - the surest way to crash a server under heavy load... Really, all the heavy lifting should be done within the database itself; but out of preference I don't think I'd be using Acces for this! However, you can do what you want using ColdFusion; I've done similar stuff in the past when the updating has required extra ColdFusion logic. I would just recommend doing it in chunks of data - maybe 5000 records at a time? Grab the first 5000 records; process them; then do the next 5000... I don't think this is unexpected behaviour It is not only unexpected, it is completely retarded. All ODBC/JDBC functions are designed so the database can be connected, then the SQL statement be compiled, then data retrieved row by row, as needed. Even dBase, Clipper, Foxpro worked this 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:320282 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

Re: What the heck is happening during CFQUERY?
The CFQUERY connects to the database, returns the whole of the resulting query result into the specified variable, then closes the connection; the variable is held in memory for the lifetime of the request. So, if you run a query that, as in this case, returns more than 300,000 records, there is going to be a significant overhead as the data is read out of the database and into ColdFusion. Especially if one of those fields is a memo field. I don't think this is unexpected behaviour - you just need to examine what you actually require from the query, and tailor your SQL to that. It is highly unlikely that you actually need to work with 300,000 records at one time...

Re: FireFox getElementById issue?

Your main problem, however, is that
var list = document.getElementById(MemberName).value;
..is also wrong. You're trying to access the select item, not its
value (which doesn't actually exist), at this point. So:
var list = document.getElementById(MemberName);
Your list then has an array of options, and the rest of the code
should work fine.

This should do the trick: RewriteRule ^calendarDetails\.html/EID/([0-9]+)$ /calendarDetails.cfm? EID=$1 [NC] [NC] is the equivalent of [I] in v2 (case insensitive match). And this assumes that the files are at your site's root, and that it's always an EID value you're matching. (If the key value in the querystring varies, you could use a regex for that too).

How are CFCONTENT requests handled?

The following code works just fine: cfheader name=Content-Disposition value=attachment; filename=press- image.jpg / cfcontent type=image/jpeg file=#ExpandPath(press-image.jpg)# / What I want to know is: if I'm serving the file in this method, does CF load the image into memory and then serve it? Or does it just point the browser to the relevant location? The reason I ask is that some of the images are up to 10MB in size, and I don't want my CF server to be hammered by someone downloading a few of these at the same time. The alternative is to zip them all up - very little size gain for JPEGs, but at least the browser will just download the file, and IIS will take the strain instead of CF...

Either: 1. Have a separate file with just the content of the email, including the variables you want replaced, and include it in your cfmail like this: cfmail ... cfinclude template=myemailtemplate.cfm / /cfmail or: 2. If your template text is in a database, you could generate a temp file on the fly with the template text in it, then include that file as above. I'm not sure what the performance implications of this would be, but you'd have to weigh that against how often the process is called. Alternatively, generate the appropriate flat file whenever the template is updated. But I've also used Dominic's method of replaceing a [variable] token in the template using Replace().

Re: Is there a non-aggregate Max() function in MySQL?
I don't have MySQL installed, but this is how I'd do it in MSSQL (and I don't see why it wouldn't work for you...): SELECT *, OrderValue = CASE WHEN MinPrice MaxPrice THEN MinPrice ELSE MaxPrice END FROM mytable ORDER BY OrderValue DESC Seb Seb Duggan Web ColdFusion Developer e: s...@sebduggan.com t: 07786 333184 w: http://sebduggan.com On 14 Dec 2008, at 03:26, Jim McAtee wrote: I have a table with two columns containing min and max values minprice INT maxprice INT The max price may not be present and is set to zero when that's the case, so data might look like: 1 5 5 0 3 10 8 0 6 0 I want to order by the larger of the two column values ORDER BY Max(minprice, maxprice) DESC But SQL's MAX() can't be used like this since it's an aggregate function.

Re: CFLoop died help
If the page itself isn't throwing an error, it sounds like an email problem. If you have access to the host, check the Spool and Undeliverable Mail directories. Failing that, try creating an absolutely basic page which just sends an email to your own address. If this doesn't get through, you've got a problem with your CF mail setup. Have you changed servers? Does your mail server expect a username and password? There are lots of possible mail faults...

Re: Making a Recently Viewed list
Should be possible without doing another query. Simply work with your list of recent product ids: !--- Get a list of all product ids from your cached query --- !--- If you wanted, you could cache this at the same time as the query --- cfset AllProductIDs = ValueList(AllProducts.ProductID) / !--- Now loop over your list of recently viewed product ids --- cfloop list=#COOKIE.RecentlyViewed# item=RecentItem !--- Find the item in the list of all product ids --- cfset i = ListFind(AllProductIDs, RecentItem) / !--- Do whatever output you want for each recent product (if it's in the list) --- cfif i gt 0 Product ID: #AllProducts.ProductID[i]# Product Name: #AllProducts.ProductName[i]# ThumbNail: #AllProducts.ThumbNail[i]# /cfif /cfloop (Code not tested, but should work fine).

Re: convert decimal to fractions
Seb That worked, but there is one problem, is there a way to simplify to a whole and a fraction. example 11.5 = 23/2 = 11 1/2 You could handle this either at the beginning or at the end; for efficiency, I'd recommend the beginning, as your loop will be shorter... cfset input = 11.5 / cfset whole = Int(input) /!--- Gives a whole number of 11 --- cfset decimal = input - whole /!--- Gives a decimal of 0.5 --- and then display the whole numer with the fraction at the end. ~| 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:315876 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 param error
One thing to bear in mind with errors thrown in the middle of a query is that the specified line number is not necessarily the problem one - it just means there's an error somewhere in the query. In this case, somewhere in the query there's an integer parameter that you're trying to insert into an ntext column. My guess is that it's this one: JeopardyExplain = cfqueryparam value=#Arguments.pJeopardyExplain# cfsqltype=cf_sql_integernull=#nJeopardyExplain# as all the other Explain columns are using cfsqltype=cf_sql_longvarchar.

Re: (Probably) Simple SQL Question?
What database are you using? In MS SQL 2005 you can use the RANK and PARTITION keywords: SELECT id, name, date_due, date_modified FROM ( SELECT id, name, date_due, date_modified, RANK() OVER (PARTITION BY id ORDER BY date_modified DESC) AS userRank FROM table ) AS t2 WHERE t2.userRank = 2 ORDER BY id, date_modified DESC (I think the code is correct, but I've not been able to test it...)

Re: (Probably) Simple SQL Question?
If you're not using SQL 2005, the following (slightly more complex) query should simulate the RANK and PARTITION: SELECT id, name, date_due, date_modified FROM ( SELECT id, name, date_due, date_modified, (SELECT COUNT(id) FROM table T2 WHERE T1.id = T2.id AND T2.date_modified = T1.date_modified) AS userRank FROM table T1 ) AS rankedTable WHERE rankedTable.userRank = 2 ORDER BY id, date_modified DESC The only caveat is that if you have two entries with exactly the same date stamp, the ranking might be thrown off; but that's fairly unlikely... ~| 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:315486 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
