Basic Database

Question

I am new to cold fusion and have been practicing with some
basic SQL on a database. I have it working locally but when I run
it on my web host it doesn't work. They are telling me the issues
are coding issues (probablly right) but I cant find them. I am
calling procedures with a <cfinvoke> tag to a cfc file for
the basic Insert, Delete and Update SQL statements and update works
delete generates no error but does nothing to the table and Insert
generates an error. The parameters are being passed correctly from
the originating web page but the code doesn't work. The Web host I
use requires an IN clause you see in the code to pass through for
Cold Fusion code to work properly and I think that is giving me
problems. I would appreciate any help for a newbie to cold fusion.

Answer 1

Yeah the code and database are from Ben Forta I am trying to
get it working remote. I am a Visual Basic programmer and just
trying to learn Cold Fusion. I know SQL pretty well and that IN
clause is not used exactly the way it would be in a SQL statement
because it is what my web host forces me to use to connect to the
database. If you look at any of the select statements the IN clause
is not being used properly but the statements work. To be honest I
don't think I ever used an IN clause on a Delete or Update
statement can't think of when there would be a need to unless there
was a Union. If you could copy the delete statement and fix it to
what you think would work I will try it out and it would be much
appreciated.
By the way I tried the code in the WHERE section of the
DELETE as:
WHERE (FilmID = #ARGUMENTS.FilmID#)
IN
('//frigga/home/users/web/b1267/waytechnologies/data/ows.mdb')
which would look more like how you would use a IN clause with
a SQL statment but I still get no error but no delete.
