Uploading files on a RaQ4 with Chilisoft/MySQL

File upload on a RaQ running MySQL/Chilisoft is relatively simple but has practical limitations that have been overcome on MS platforms using Pure ASP Upload. The key issue is that the CHili ASP engine on the RaQ will only allow a single file to be uploaded at a time and the VBScript used on the upload page prohibits the use of any other Response or Request handlers.

The method describes here allows a user to upload a chosen file to a folder location on the RaQ server. Ideally the file name should be changed from the browsed fileName to something shorter. It can then be accessed using a database call from the MySQL database whenever it needs to be displayed.

    Retrieve record identity from an autonumber field on record insert.

    In order to maintain the relationships between database tables or to return the identity of the record they have just created to the user it is necessary to determine the identity of the newly created record. There are many bad examples of how to do this, mainly involving the use of SQL and SELECT MAX(RecordID) to determine the highest record identity value. This article shows a more reliable way to determine the correct identity of the record created.
