CREATEODBCDATE

I have a field named docDate that is defined as date time in sql table.
I want to query the table and find all records for docDate >= 05/18/2009 and docDate <= 05/24/2009
If I have this in my query, is it correct ? It seems to run fine thru analyzer but there are too many records for me to cound manuall to verify.
WHERE CONVERT(CHAR(10), docDate, 101) between #createodbcdate(lastWeek)# and #CreateODBCDate(todaysDate)#, where lastWeek is 05/18/2009 and todaysDate is 05/24/2009

I would expect that the convert() function is unnecessary. If the field is defiend as a datetime field than passing in datetime values should match without any conversion requred.
so it will just be Where docDate between odbccretedate(lastweek) and odbcreatedate(todaydate) ?
As to passing datetimevalues while createodbcdate() will do that, using <cfqueryparam value="#lastWeek#" cfsqltype="cf_sql_date"> is considered a much better way to do this as it also protects one from sql injection as well as creating a datatime value
Using this method, would it be
Where docDate betewwn <cfqueryparam value="#lastWeek#" cfsqltype="cf_sql_date"> and <cfqueryparam value="#todaysdate#" cfsqltype="cf_sql_date"> ?

Help-ColdFusion - enabling a user to search for records in a database by entering a startand end date - (CREATEODBCDATE)

I want to enable a user to enter a start and end date to
define the period they want to search for records of members who
joined on certain dates. Funny thing is...I've got it to work half
of the time. For e.g. I have 4 records between 26/10/2005 and
1/08/2006. When I enter 01/01/2005 as startDate and 31/08/2006 as
endDate, I get the 4 records. However, if I alter the endDate to
01/09/2006 I get every record in the database!!!??? Why's this? I
can't get my head around it!
Here's my code:
First the code for the form the user input the search
criteria on:
<html>
<body>
<FORM action="memberJDateSearch.cfm" method="post">
<p>Start Date: <input type="text"
name="startDate">
<br>End Date: <input type="text" name="endDate">
<input type="reset" value="Clear">
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</FORM>
</body>
</html>
Simple enough. Now the code for the process and display page:
<html>
<body>
<cfquery name="memberJDateSearch"
datasource="jpkelle2-access">
SELECT *
From members
WHERE ((joinDate BETWEEN #CreateODBCDate(startDate)# AND

any ideas? please help me.

Try formatting your dates first (before the CreateODBCDate
call). I just tried this on my test page and it worked properly. I
removed the DateFormat calls, keeping the dates in your format and
it didn't work. See if something like the following will help:
<cfset startDate =
DateFormat("31/01/2006","dd/mm/yyyy")/>
<cfset endDate =
DateFormat("01/09/2007","dd/mm/yyyy")/>
<cfquery name="memberJDateSearch"
datasource="jpkelle2-access">
SELECT *
From members
WHERE ((joinDate BETWEEN #CreateODBCDate(startDate)# AND
#CreateODBCDate(endDate)#))

Do you have debugging turned on? What does the actual sql
look like?
As an aside, you don't need the double brackets in your where
clause.

CreateODBCDate and cfqueryparam with cf_sql_date

Hi all.
I've got a form that's accepting the following date formats
(YYYY-MM-DD and MM-DD-YYYY).
Just wondering if it's even necessary to use the
CreateODBDate when I'm passing in the dates in my <cfquery>
using a queryparam with a type of cf_sql_date?
From what I understand cf_sql_date will recognize either of
the two formats and properly create the ODBC date the way it's
supposed to, but I can't find any resources that says this. Anyone
know this for sure or not, and maybe have a reference I can point
my team in the right direction?
Thanks.

Unless there is a known difference in how the two parse date
strings, I would say no. Both parse a string and return a properly
formatted date/time object. I strongly suspect they both use the
same parsing method behind the scenes anyway.
As an aside, MM-DD-YYYY can be interpreted multiple ways. But
most likely both CreateODBCDate and cfqueryparam will interpret the
value the same way.. for right or wrong ;-)

Error while updating a record in MS Access

Im new to coldfusion and am running into a problem while
trying to update a record in a MS Access table.
I have a MS Access table where the primary key is a
auto-number long integer field named jobid.
I have an edit form where info can be changed then saved. A
hidden form field named jobid holds the records primary key field
value for the record being edited. When submitted this is what
happens:
I use a basic SQL UPDATE statement but I get the error "Data
type mismatch in criteria expression"
Some code:
<cfset nJobId=Int(Val(FORM.jobid))>
*dont know if i need the above line but using #FORM.jobid#
in the WHERE clause below didnt work either
<cfquery datasource="lrs">
UPDATE jobs SET
status='#FORM.status#',
offer='#FORM.offer#',
postdate="#CreateODBCDate(FORM.postdate)#",
jobtype=#FORM.jobtype#,
jobtitle='#FORM.jobtitle#',
..etc...
WHERE jobid=#nJobId#
The WHERE clause is where the error occurs with "Data type
mismatch in criteria expression"
After a few times with that i changed the where clause to
simply "WHERE jobid=1" as this record id does exist, but it has the
same error.
I then tried changing the where clause to
WHERE jobid=<cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_bigint"
value="#FORM.jobid#">
and there it "appears" to work, but the record is not
actually updated. No changes are made to the table though no error
is thrown.
Im missing something here... why wont the record update
?

The data type mismatch isn't necessarily in your where
clause. I'm guessing that it's the quotes around the create
odbcdate function.
use of cfqueryparam will solve a lot of these problems for
you.

How to handle blank dates

In my cfform, the user can select a starting and ending date

order by prNumber
</cfquery>
I basically see to see what was select so that I can use the
like, not like, etc..Then I check to see if there is a date value
so that I can know whether to use AND in the select statement.
If both the field and dates are selected, then it would be
select where xxxx and date.......
If the field is selected only, then it would be select where
xxxx
If the date is selected only, then it would be select where
date xxxxxx
The problem is when I check for date is " " in the cfif
statement, keep getting error about null values. So I check for
date is null or date is not null, but that still does not work. It
works find when I check for both the field and date as not " ",
then I can use AND, but when I try to check for any other
combinataion, I get the NULL error.
How can I fix this ?

now that's a bit of convoluted logic there...
how about:
<cfif isdate(yourdate)>
<cfif yourfield is " ">
<cfelse>
</cfif>
</cfif>
you can add a <cfelse> in the outer cfif if you need to
have a separate
condition for yourdate NTO being a date
another thing i noticed: what's up with " "? i mean, why a
space between
the quotes? you know that a blank form field does NOT have a
space as
value, right? so if you are checking that a user has entered
something
in a field or not, and you are using <cfif somefiled is "
">, if a user
did not fill in that field your cfif will return FALSE; if
you used
<cfif somefield is ""> it would have returned TRUE.
i suggest instead of checking for a blank value of a filed,
check the
length of that value instead: <cfif len(trim(somefield))
is 0>

Try using '###CreateODBCDate(Form.DateOfBirth)###'. Access is
strange on
handling dates. It has a been a while since I have used

be as simple as wrapping it single quotes as well. I am

cfif problem

I'm trying to evalute whether a user is uploading an MS Word
file with spaces in the filename. We cannot have spaces in
filenames on our Internet site. So, basically, on the form page
there is a field with a browse box for user to select their file.
It's is passed to the action page; here's the code.
I've used the same <cfif> statement on a bare bones
page & it does work but for some reason it is not working on
this page. I'm wondering if there's code on this page preventing it
from being evaluted.

The form page has sent you a temporary filename that does not
contain the space - therefore, it passes the CFIF test. A
workaround would be to do a CFDIRECTORY ACTION="list" to obtain the
filename of the most recent timestamp and do a CFFILE
ACTION="rename" if you find a space in the filename.

Combining data from SQL query

Hoping there is a SQL guru out there that can help me with this
I have two tables that I want to pull data from and display a report, based on a particular date range, for this example let's say 08/01/2011 to 08/31/2011
In one table there would be an affiliate ID - AFF_UID and also the date and a counter for that date, IMP_COUNTER , now there may only be a few records not every day might be covered, say
TABLE IMP
date,aff_uid,imp_counter
08/01/2011,999,2000
08/02/2011,999,2050
08/20/2011,999,2030
etc
I then have another date, similar set up only there are multiple records in here for a single day, again not all days covered, I would need to total up each row for each day to get a count. So it might be:
TABLE LEAD
date,aff_uid
08/01/2011,999
08/01/2011,999
08/01/2011,999
08/01/2011,999
08/12/2011,999
So we have different dates covered, sometimes the same date, I need the counter from the first table, and from the second table I need to add them up for a total, and then display any date that has a value and put both counter and lead count together
Result from above
date,imp total,lead total
08/01/2011,2000,4
08/02/2011,2050,0
08/12,2011,0,1
08/20/2011,2030,0
I am sure there must be a SQL command that can gel all of this together with some grouping? Last thing I need is a ton of SQL statements in a loop!
My alternative is to add a counter to the IMP table for each lead, so every time I update the lead table with a record, I will also update the counter, but that's unncessary storage of data I already have an an extra update statement that I might be able to do without, but maybe it would make generating reports faster, just pulling to counters with no 'addition' required.
Appreciate any feedback
Thanks
Mark

Well I thought that I had this one up and running, but once it went into production I found that it didn't give the desired results.
I have an account that has 3 'tracking'/aff accounts, so what it's doing is giving out 3 lines for each date rather than join them together into one. The values are also incorrect, I'm still trying to figure out just where it's even getting those numbers, I manually added up the numbers in the dbase and it didn't match
Here's the command
<CFQUERY name="GetStats" DATASOURCE="#datasource#">
SELECT
COALESCE(IMP.imp_date, LEAD.lead_date) AS report_date
, COALESCE(IMP.imp_counter,0) AS imp_counter
, COALESCE(LEAD.lead_count,0) AS lead_count
, COALESCE(LEAD.lead_aff_payment,0) AS lead_aff_payment
FROM
SELECT
imp_date
, imp_counter
FROM impressions
WHERE imp_date BETWEEN #createODBCdate(form_from)# AND #createODBCdate(form_to)#
<CFIF #val(ListGetAt(form_aff_UID,1))# IS "3">
AND imp_aff_uid IN (SELECT aff_uid FROM aff WHERE aff_master_uid = #session.aff_uid#)
<CFELSEIF #val(ListGetAt(form_aff_UID,1))# IS "2">
AND imp_aff_uid = #val(ListGetAt(form_aff_UID,2))#
<CFELSE>
AND imp_aff_uid IN (SELECT aff_uid FROM aff WHERE aff_sub_uid = #val(ListGetAt(form_aff_uid,2))# AND aff_master_uid = #session.aff_uid#)
</CFIF>
) AS IMP
FULL OUTER JOIN
SELECT
lead_date, COUNT(*) AS lead_count, SUM(lead_aff_payment) AS lead_aff_payment
FROM leads
WHERE lead_date BETWEEN #createODBCdate(form_from)# AND #createODBCdate(form_to)#
AND lead_data_status = 1
<CFIF #val(ListGetAt(form_aff_UID,1))# IS "3">
AND lead_aff_uid IN (SELECT aff_uid FROM aff WHERE aff_master_uid = #session.aff_uid#)
<CFELSEIF #ListGetAt(form_aff_UID,1)# IS "2">
AND lead_aff_uid = #val(ListGetAt(form_aff_uid,2))#
<CFELSE>
AND lead_aff_uid IN (SELECT aff_uid FROM aff WHERE aff_sub_uid = #val(ListGetAt(form_aff_uid,2))# AND aff_master_uid = #session.aff_uid#)
</CFIF>
GROUP BY lead_date

Data type mismatch in criteria expression. What am I not seeing??

Once again I'm stuck! I have included the query I'm trying to run below. I have also indicated the data types of my fields.
<cfquery name="qGetOrders" datasource="manna_premier">
SELECT DISTINCT Count(ID) AS CountOfID,   - number
                             TMName,   -text
                             Sum(Quantity) AS SumOfQuantity,   - number
                             Count(NewExisting) AS CountOfNewExisting -number
FROM Users, Orders, ProductOrders
WHERE SaleDate BETWEEN #CreateODBCDate(FORM.Start)# AND #CreateODBCDate(FORM.End)#
GROUP BY UserZone, TMName
</cfquery>
When run it returns this error message....

I use the where clause on several other pages and it works. I don't understand where my data type is mismatched.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?

4) If you indeed need to select from the 3 tables Users,
Orders, ProductOrders, then you should qualify the columns
names like this, Users.ID, productOrders.Quantity, and so
on.
You also need to join on the related columns. If you forget to do that the resultset will be a massive cartesian table (huge number of records):
rows in Table1 * #rows in Table2 * #rows in Table3

Report data binding error with date values

I have CF7.02 with a Microsoft Visual FoxPro 9.0 SP1 Database
that I connect to using ODBC (FoxPro Driver 6.01.8630.01). I send
my sql results to a CF Report Builder 7.02 PDF report and it works
fine. If I dump the date values before I change them, they look
like the following: {ts '2004-12-20 00:00:00'} . However I have
tried a number of ways of manipulating the date before sending it
to the report, but I continue to get errors. I don't care what
format they go to the report in, since the report reformats them
anyway. I checked to make sure that none of the dates were null.
For example <cfset ReportQuery.PrcInputDate[lcCurRow] =
CreateODBCDateTime(#ldCFPrcInputDate#) /> yields values in the
{ts '2004-12-20 00:00:00'} format when I dump the query results to
screen. Where:
ldCFPrcInputDate = 12/20/2004
CreateODBCDateTime(ldCFPrcInputDate) = {ts '2004-12-20
00:00:00'}
ReportQuery.PrcInputDate[lcCurRow] = {ts '2004-12-20
00:00:00'}
I get the error:
Report data binding error Unable to get value for field
'prcinputdate' of class 'java.util.Date'.
coldfusion.runtime.OleDateTime -> Date
Not using the CreateODBCDate function for example <cfset
ReportQuery.PrcInputDate[lcCurRow] = #ldCFPrcInputDate# /> I
get:
Report data binding error Unable to get value for field
'prcinputdate' of class 'java.util.Date'.
java.lang.String -> Date
Here are some of my failed attempts:
<cfset ReportQuery.PrcInputDate[lcCurRow] =
CreateODBCDateTime(#ldCFPrcInputDate#) />
<cfset ReportQuery.PrcInputDate[lcCurRow] =
#ldCFPrcInputDate# />
<cfset ReportQuery.PrcInputDate[lcCurRow] =
DateFormat(CreateODBCDate(#ldCFPrcInputDate#),'mm/dd/yyyy') />
<cfset ReportQuery.PrcInputDate[lcCurRow] =
CreateODBCDate(DateFormat(#ldCFPrcInputDate#,'mm/dd/yyyy') />
<cfset ReportQuery.PrcInputDate[lcCurRow] =
CreateODBCDate(DateFormat(#ldCFPrcInputDate#,'mm-dd-yyyy') />
<cfset ReportQuery.PrcInputDate[lcCurRow] =
Trim(createODBCDateTime(ldtmpdate)) />
<cfset ReportQuery.PrcInputDate[lcCurRow] =
CreateODBCDate({05-07-2006}) />
<cfset ReportQuery.PrcInputDate[lcCurRow] =
CreateODBCDate('{05-07-2006}') />
<cfset ReportQuery.PrcInputDate[lcCurRow] =
CreateODBCDate(05/07/2006) />
<cfset ReportQuery.PrcInputDate[lcCurRow] =
CreateODBCDate('05/07/2006')/>
<cfset ReportQuery.PrcInputDate[lcCurRow] =
CreateODBCDate(parseDateTime('05/07/2006')) />
<cfset ReportQuery.PrcInputDate[lcCurRow] =
parseDateTime(CreateODBCDateTime(05/07/2006)) />
<cfset ReportQuery.PrcInputDate[lcCurRow] =
parseDateTime(CreateODBCDateTime('#ldCFPrcInputDate#')) />
<cfset ReportQuery.PrcInputDate[lcCurRow] = '{05-07-2006}'
/>
<cfset ReportQuery.PrcInputDate[lcCurRow] = '{05/07/2006}'
/>
<cfset ReportQuery.PrcInputDate[lcCurRow] = '05/07/2006'
/>
I also did some googling without success. Any help is
appreciated.

You may want to make sure that the column is not included in
the query variable list in your report cfr file.
The newest version of the Report Builder, which may be
installed on the server, no longer tolerates vars appearing in that
list of they are not in the query itselft.

Syntax error in INSERT STATEMENT

Perhaps it is a reserved word issue with the date column,
since
date is an ODBC Reserved Keyword. You might try enclosing it
within brackets [ ].
<cfquery name="update1" datasource="trevor_SecurityDB">
INSERT INTO imagesproducts
(title, info, [date])
VALUES ( '#form.title#', '#form.info#', '#DateFormat(Now())#'
</cfquery>
Or, if that doesn't help, you might try using a cfqueryparam
tag for the '#DateFormat(Now())#' value using a cfsqltype =
"CF_SQL_TIMESTAMP" (assuming a date/time datatype on the column).
Also, you might look into using one of the CreateODBCDateTime() or
CreateODBCDate() functions.

Problem with SELECT statement. What is wrong with it?

What is the problem?

It's hard to say: what's your request timeout set to?
700-odd records is not much of a fetch for a decent DB, and I would not expect that to case the problem. But then you're using Access which doesn't fit the description of "decent DB" (or "fit for purpose" or "intended for purpose"), so I guess all bets are off one that one. If this query is slow when ONE request is asking for it, what is going to happen when it goes live and multiple requests are asking for it, along with all the other queries your site will want to run? Access is not designed for this. It will really struggle, and cause your site to run like a dog. One that died serveral weeks ago.
What else is on the template? I presume you're doing something with the query once you fetch it, so could it be that code that's running slowly? Have you taken any steps to isolate which part of the code is taking so long?
How does the query perform if you take the subquery out of the select line? Is there any other way of getting that data? What subquery will be running once for every row of the result set... not very nice.

Date woes

I have a query that returns records when i do not use a where
clause. I want to return records for a range of dates.
I have used between and >= and <= but no records are
returned. The dates are stored in an msacess table as long dates. I
tried with single quote both on and off the dates - the code
follows - thanks
jim
and btw the search on these forums returns an error message.
anyone else have the same results?

Or, best yet, <cfqueryparam...> tags with
cfsqltype="cf_sql_date"
parameters.

Baffled by date query

It's been awhile since I've done any CF and I'm baffled by the results I'm getting. I want to select all the records where the date is greater than or equal to today. This is with CF8 and an Access database. There are records for 9/25 thru 9/30. I can't get the record for today to show.
<cfset dateToday = createODBCDate(Now()) />
<cfoutput>DateToday: #DateFormat(dateToday,'yyyy-mm-dd')#</cfoutput><br />
<br />
<cfquery datasource="survey" name="test">
          SELECT *
          FROM Images
          WHERE StartDate >= <cfqueryparam value="#DateToday#" cfsqltype="cf_sql_timestamp" />
</cfquery>
<cfoutput query="test">
#startdate#<br />
</cfoutput>
DateToday: 2013-09-26
Results:
2013-09-27 00:00:00.0
2013-09-29 00:00:00.0
2013-09-28 00:00:00.0
2013-09-30 00:00:00.0
Furthermore, if I eliminate the GT sign and have "StartDate =" today, there are no results.

Now() includes a time component. If you want records from earlier today, you have to create a date variable with no time element.   CreateDate, Year(), Month() and Day() will come in handy.
