Oracle Makes More Moves To Kill Open Source MySQL

MySQLOracle is holding back test cases in the latest release of MySQL. It’s a move that has all the markings of the company’s continued efforts to further close up the open source software and alienate the MySQL developer community.

The issue stems back to a recent discovery that the latest MySQL release has bug fixes but without a single one having any test cases associated with it.  That creates all sorts of problems for developers who have no assurance that the problem is actually fixed.

It’s pretty clear that Oracle is trying to make it as difficult as possible to use MySQL. The result is a wave of unsettlement in the developer community about what Oracle considers open and what it sees as closed. The move is causing problems for developers in all manner of ways as expressed here and here.

NuoDBI finally got some time to play around with the beta 7 release of NuoDB that I downloaded a few weeks ago.  Personally I don’t think NuoDB yet gives downloaders enough information on how to get started so I decided to tackle that here myself.

Before I get into the details, why bother?  Who will benefit from this beta?

Announcing a new Meetup for The Online ColdFusion Meetup!

What: “One DAO to Rule Them All…!!”, with Wes Byrd

Our 6pm (US ET) talk on Thursday June 2 will be “One DAO to Rule Them All…!!”, with Wes Byrd.

TOPIC DESCRIPTION: (provided by the speaker)

The DADAO is a single CFC that will act as a Data Access Object (DAO) to any table in your database offering one place to Create, Read, Update and Delete (CRUD) data from any table. Never create another DAO again! Never maintain your DAO’s again! Never write SQL in your code again! It changes when your database changes. It supports any database type (that ColdFusion will access via a configured datasource).

In this session, we will see some real world examples of this handy tool in action and have some general discussion on Data Access Objects in general.

MEETING URL: http://experts.acrobat.com/cfmeetup/

DURATION: Approx. 1 hour

RECORDING: All meetings are recorded. The URL will be posted after meeting at recordings.coldfusionmeetup.com

ColdFusion – SQL: Dynamic Values in Order By Clause

Date: October 4, 2010

This week I had to write a stored procedure for retrieving real estate properties and use the data in a ColdFusion template with pagination.  I had the following input arguments: StartRow, EndRow, PriceFrom, PriceTo and SortBy.

Since I use Fusebox, all parameters passed in the URL query string are converted to the scope “attributes”.  So, here is the procedure call:
{code type=coldfusion}
<cfstoredproc procedure=”dbo.pagination” datasource=”#application.mainDSN#”>
<cfprocparam cfsqltype=”cf_SQL_INTEGER” value=”#attributes.startRow#”  />
<cfprocparam cfsqltype=”cf_SQL_INTEGER” value=”#attributes.endRow#” />
<cfprocparam cfsqltype=”cf_SQL_INTEGER” value=”#attributes.priceFrom#” null=”#(not len(trim(attributes.priceFrom)))#” />
<cfprocparam cfsqltype=”cf_SQL_INTEGER” value=”#attributes.sortBy#” null=”#(not len(trim(attributes.sortBy)))#” />
<cfprocresult name=”qProps” />
</cfstoredproc>{/code}
