DBX 10.0.3 Released
Posted by Kevin J. Miller in ColdFusion , DBX on August 29, 2007
New in this version:
Null Handler
------------
Added null
attribute handler code for cfqueryparam/cfprocparam in code generator.
When off, these tags will always contain a null="false" attribute; when
on, the null attribute will be injected with appropriate code in order
to avoid errors thrown by the db.
For example, if you pass a
queryparam or procparam an empty string, you should be setting
null="true" since SQLServer will error upon inserting an empty string.
Using the 'null handler' option will generate code appropriate to the
datatype of the column, as in:
<cfprocparam type="IN"
cfsqltype="CF_SQL_VARCHAR" dbvarname="@aoSubject"
value="#args.aoSubject#"
null="#iif(len(args.aoSubject),false,true)#">
and
<cfprocparam
type="IN" cfsqltype="CF_SQL_INTEGER" dbvarname="@aoDuration"
value="#args.aoDuration#"
null="#iif(isNumeric(args.aoDuration),false,true)#">
and so on.
The option is available for both cfqueryparam and cfprocparam.
Rudimentary Proc Filtering
--------------------------
Added filtering of non-user procedures in nav tree for SQL2005.
SQL2005
handles the 'user-ness' of procedures differently than 2000. As such,
and given how DBX enumerates user procedures in the left-hand nav tree,
SQL2005 will also return non-user procs, such as those that begin with
'dt_'. I haven't found a strictly metadata-based (automatic) solution
for this and I found it irritating enough to add some simple string
matching to filter out 'dt_' procs. Other procs that are not user owned
(e.g., sp_ procs related to diagramming in SSMS) will still show up but
they are few and less objectionable than all the other crap that was
showing up.
I'll rework the routine to rely solely on the metadata at some point, but for now this is my, ahem, 'solution'.
