I have spent countless hours of my life staring at SQL code. While I made every effort to keep my own SQL neat, it's not always easy to decipher errors in complex queries - especially those in legacy code or written by developers who don't share my passion for code formatting.

Today I was fortunate to find an excellent SQL prettifier that analyzes code (like a lint-style tool) and formats it with proper capitalization, indentation, and so forth.

Here's the link; I hope it saves somebody time in debugging and managing SQL code as it has just done for me.

Ravenglass thanks Josh as well as CFUG leaders Pete Freitag and Brian Love for organizing the program.

We had some fun with this seemingly simple problem today. Setting up a new web site, we found that the "favicon" graphic (the little icon that show up next to your page's URL or title in a browser tab or address bar) was working for all browsers but Internet Explorer (IE).

It turns out that IE is very particular about the way that the favicon must be set. The graphic must be of type "ICO". While other browsers support GIF, JPG, and PNG icons, IE requires ICO.

Next, a reference to the icon must be included in the section of your HTML document, using the tag. The tag must have the attributes "rel", "type", and "href" set to the values "SHORTCUT ICON", "image/vnd.microsoft.icon", and the full URL (including http:// and your domain) to the ICO file.

For more information, see the following links:

• Wikipedia entry for Favicon
• Favicon validator to determine where favicons may be found for a given web page.
• Favicon ICO generator to convert existing icons or other files to valid ICO format icon files.

If you've ever wondered where the name "Ravenglass" comes from, it's the name of a port village in England's lake district. Company Founders Jim Jurista and Aimee Koval visited Ravenglass in 1993 and were struck by the natural beauty and historic places such as Muncaster Castle. In 1997, when they were looking for a unique name for their new business, "Ravenglass Technologies" appealed to both of them, and it's been with us ever since.

I was updating some ColdFusion old code and had a brain freeze about how to wrap items from a ValueList() function in single quotes, so that I could use them in a query.

Fortunately I found this article from Cold Fusion Jedi. Just use QuotedValueList() instead of ValueList() - each item in the list will be surrounded in single quotes. For example, if ValueList(query.alphabet) returns a,b,c,d, QuotedValueList(query.alphabet) will return 'a','b','c','d'.

If you want to have arbitrary characters (instead of single quotes) around your list items, use ListQualify(). Continuing the example above, ListQualify(ValueList(query.alphabet),":") would return :a:,:b:,:c:,:d:.

I hope this helps somebody!
