  Posted on Jun 24, 2011 at 3:39 PM

  I just had to add an extra parameter to get the day of month based on the year, week and day of week Extra parameter: <cfargument name="Day" type="numeric" required="false... read more »

• ColdFusion Query-Of-Queries vs. The Group Attribute In CFOutput

  I was still asking myself for alternative when I came up with another solution. No QoQ, no structure, so sub-select in initial query... Save the songs into a variable while calculating how many there are for that singer and display them after. <cfoutput... read more »

  I have split the DB query and CF execution time Ben (CFoutput Groups): Query: 27 ms CF: 9 ms Total: 36 ms Ben (Queries of Query): Queries (2): 25 ms CF: 258 ms Total: 283 ms LP (Structures): Query: 16 ms CF: 35 ms Total: 51 ms S... read more »

  @Dave, If you could post the script to add an index, that would be awesome. I'm testing on MySQL 5.... read more »

  I forgot to mention that the queries (database) were not in the benchmark time. Here is the result with database time: Ben (CFoutput Groups): 28 ms Ben (Queries of Query): 677 ms LP (Structures): 55 ms Scott (CFoutput Groups): 2160 ms The costly part of the query... read more »

  @Scott, I benchmark the 4 solutions with more data and yours is the fastest. Singers : 210 Songs : 2570 Ben (CFoutput Groups): 5 ms Ben (Queries of Query): 650 ms Mine (Structures): 20 ms Yours (CFoutput Groups): 7 ms... read more »

  @Scott, You are right on this one. I just tested your code and it's as fast as structure in that case. Thank you for that solution.... read more »

  @Scott, I agree that there is a little more work to do achieving the same thing with structure and it's a case by case basis. But I did test the 3 solutions with GetTickCount() and the QoQ was taking ~11ms while structure was taking ~1ms. Grouping was taking ~1ms as well, but in main... read more »

  @Dave, I don't know if your post was referring to mine about performance, but QoQ refers to internal CF queries, not database access. So performance can be calculated on the CF part of the code. Indexes sure help on DB side, but nothing can be done on CF side about indexes on QoQ. T... read more »

  Hi Ben, Using QoQ is costly especially when there is a lot of records. Another alternative is to build a structure first, and then loop through that structure to display elements. The count is also available in that case. From a performance stand point, in this example, structure is 1... read more »
