Data and Persistence
Persistence = Turn off, turn on—data still
there.
Secondary storage (disk or other nonvolatile)
DBMS
Excel
Text file
ODBC
Open DataBase Connectivity
Allows a common interface to many
databases.
Does not homogenize SQL
Must be configured on the CF server
Relational vs. Flat
Relational: Tables may be linked (related) to
make storage more efficient.
E.F. Codd
Flat: Tables cannot be linked. Think of a
spreadsheet.
CFQUERY
Allows any SQL statement to be run.
Returns a recordset depending on SQL.
Can pass authentication attributes:
USERNAME
PASSWORD
Can cache data for better performance.
CFOUTPUT
Refers to a CFQUERY recordset to generate
output to the browser.
May be nested using the GROUP attribute.
May NOT be nested without the GROUP
attribute (see CFLOOP).
CFLOOP
Refers to a CFQUERY recordset; does not
produce output to the browser.
CFLOOP may also be used for incremental
loops, lists, and objects—not the scope of this
session.
SQL
Structured Query Language
Common syntax for interacting with a
database. (Beware variations)
SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE
More complex commands available; related to
DBA functions.
Caching Queries
Improves performance by storing data in
server memory.
Implemented through CFQUERY
