• I've Had Fundamental Misunderstandings Of How CFQueryParam Works Within MySQL Queries And ColdFusion / Lucee CFML

  Posted on Feb 11, 2021 at 6:01 AM

  @Ben, Excellent - thanks for the tip. Yeah, the semi-colon thing is definitely real - we got a 2s query down to 200ms, so that's a win, just by removing the semi-colon!... read more »

  Great post, Ben. I'm torn between "of course!" and NFW! Blimey, funny what a semi-colon can do, isn't it! That's interesting about the configuration of the MySQL JDBC driver - where abouts would I start to configure the driver? Where do I put those options?... read more »

  Thanks for this Ben - I was just wondering how to handle this the other day. As it turns out I've had to pass in to the function whether or not it should run in a threaded manner, but next time I will use your method. :-)... read more »

• More Thinking About Model-View-Controller (MVC) And Application Architecture

  Posted on Jun 5, 2012 at 5:25 PM

  @Steven, Yes, I know it breaks the architecture, and believe me I don't actively seek out ways to have the view do this ;-) I was just thinking outside the box.

  Good Lord! I'm sure this must have been blogged by someone before, but I've never seen it. The amount of time I must've spent because of this strangeness... Thank you!... read more »
