specifing date without time
...can compare. The 'like' doesn't work, because your date is not stored as a string. In Oracle, the SQL would look something like this: select * from table1 where to_char(mydate, 'mm/dd/yyyy') = '12/04/2002' I'm sure your database has a similar function that would do the conversion for you. -
error checking
We do something like this: <cftry> <cfquery name="avail" datasource="DSN"> SELECT 1 FROM DUAL </cfquery> <cfcatch type="database"> do something because we didn't connect </cfcatch> </cftry> It works very nicely. -
Text Format Lost...
You need to escape your quotes when you put the data in the database. The SQL processor is choking on them, thinking you've reached the end of the string. -
using a form inside a cfmail tag
I wonder if the problem is that the mail server doesn't support the post method. Try method="get", which will put your form fields on the URL string as URL variables instead. The other thing I would investigate is cutting your mail message, pasting it intact into a blank page, save... -
SQL Query Builder not connecting
In order to use a database in CF, you need to build a datasource for it. The datasource is a connection that is describe through the CF administrator. It sounds to me like either you ahve not done this, or the connection is not correct. If you have access to the CF Administrator, you should... -
Which Query was run?
I don't know exactly what you mean by "find out". You can set a variable inside the IF block with a different value for each version of the query and display it. Or Log it, I guess. If debugging is turned on, you can view the SQL statements at the bottom of the page. Other than... -
Passing information to build a new page
In your href, include the record number of your entry. You don't give the name of your query, but the record number is stored in <queryname>.CurrentRow. Let's say the query is called BOOKS, then the reference would be: <A href="grfakta_intro.cfm?record=#BOOKS.CurrentRow#"> Now when... -
Search with ACCESS DB
Try building up the where clause: <cfset matchfield = "%" & form.SUBJECT & "%"> <CFQUERY NAME="GETCAT" DATASOURCE="GLKB"> SELECT * FROM KnowledgeBase WHERE subject like '#matchField#' </CFQUERY> -
Verity trouble
I would start by purging both collections and indexing them again. -
Inserting data from one textarea to multiple records.
Assuming that the textarea is named field, the following snippet will print out each name on a separate line. <cfoutput> <cfloop list="#form.field#" index="value" delimiters="#chr(10)#"> #value# <br> </cfloop> </cfoutput> Since we're able to get... -
Pages with searchable regions using Verity
If you are using the Verity Spider indexing feature of CF 5 and Verity K2, then there is an option "-skip" taht will skip certain text within certain tags when indexing the documents. -
Stripping out specific characters
A more general approach will also work. The Replace function can be used to replace any substring in a string with any other substring. In our case, you would replace the '$' with the null string: <cfset newValue = Replace( value, "$", "", "ALL" )> You don't... -
help really advanced application level variable structure stuff (you g
I agree with a440guy that a structure is a better fit to you problem than an array. Is it essential that you "log out" a user when he closes his browser? Or could you do something with timeout instead? We use a technique where after a certain amount of time, the user has to log back... -
Dynamic Variable Problem
misereatur (Programmer) Jan 3, 2002 writes: How do I write a query that will do the following: Select * from Table where FieldA = #Var1# or #Var2# or #Var3# to which I respond: Select * from Table where Field1 IN (#var1#,#var2#,#var3#) -
Are there Percent and Capitalization functions?
There is a CF_CAPITALIZE custom tag on the Allaire Developer's forum that will do things like change MIKE SHORT to Mike Short. Now if there would be one that could fix my speling mistakjes. :-) -
Random Query
Here's a way that will work in CF 5: <!--- Select some stuff to display randomly ORDER BY is just there to prove it works ---> <cfquery name="test" datasource="#Variables.Datasource#"> SELECT LAST_NAME FROM PERSON WHERE SSN like ('000%') ORDER BY... -
Dynamic Variable Problem
Without digging too deeply into your problem, I'd say this is a candidate for an Array. -
FLOATING RETURN FUNCTION
If the five buttons are links, then there is a CGI variable named CGI.HTTP_REFERER that contains the URL of the page from which you linked. If you need to trace this as the visitor travels throughout your site, then save it as a Session variable. However, this won't work if your pages are in... -
<a href> query string problem
I wonder if the minus signs in the UUID are causing trouble. Try this: <cfoutput> <cfset uuid = '#URL.UUID#'> </cfoutput> -- or -- <cfoutput> <cfset temp = SetVariable( uuid, '#URL.UUID#'> </cfoutput>
