The new Adobe Developer Connection WebSite rocks

by on September 30, 2007 in CFML

This evening I wanted to find some information about "Adobe AIR" and went over to Adobes website. To my surprise I came upon the new Adobe Developer Connection WebSite and was pleased to see that Adobe put a lot of standing issue into it.

There is a lot of information at ones fingertips, you can connect to other developers, take part in the forums, read up on the latest information, see all the blogs that are our there, download trials, SDK's and code snippets and much more.

Congrats to the people at Adobe to bring us this valuable resource.

The Oracle Database Order by syntax is case sensitive

by on September 30, 2007 in Oracle

We just came across a issue that took one of our developers a longer time to figure out and is regarding the "order by" syntax in use with a Oracle Database 10g R2.

When using a:

SELECT myname FROM mydb ORDER BY myname

and you have different cases in the "myname" field (Example: Oracle, oranges, adventure, Business) then the above query would give you a result that would look like this:

Business

Oracle
adventure
oranges

As you can see the word "adventure" is at the "end" of all the values that are writing in upper case. The reason for this is because as by default the Oracle Database is case sensitive.

To get the correct order you will have to wrap the "Order By" with the lower() function, like:

SELECT myname FROM mydb ORDER BY lower(myname)

Sexy ColdFusion 8

by on September 23, 2007 in CFML

Today I was looking trough my RSS-Feeds (collecting and reading them all with the brilliant NetNewsWire 3.x application). As innocent as we are we surfed over to some ColdFusion blogs and saw this banner at the bottom of the page:

I am outraged and can not describe in words what I feel looking at something like this. Do we really need to treat womans rights like this? I do not want you to look at this banner anymore! Guess we should get Adobe to take some legal actions about this.
