Title: I Need Some Good Old Advice
Date: 07/15/03      16 Posts
Summary: Need some advice about query caching and Query of Queries (QoQ)? Since database access comprises a large part of web server overhead, data caching should be part of your application design strategy. However, if updates are relatively infrequent, it may be best to update the cache when you update the database between CFSCHEDULE'd requeries. Note also that storing query results in a structure may be faster than relying on QoQ.

Title: Refresh Application-Scoped Variables
Date: 07/15/03      18 Posts
Summary: CF experts offer insight into some of their application design decisions:
  • Programmatically reset cached queries by using a short cache period so "the database is hit as rarely as you want it to be."
  • Manually reset cached queries and application-scoped variables using a URL variable (See the DRK 3 init tag).
  • Store application-wide settings in a cached query.
  • Set variables that are initialized once in the application scope since these do not need to be locked in CFMX.
  • Set constants in the request scope via an INCLUDE file.
  • Set variables that will be used within a custom tag in the request scope.
