Cfqueryparam problem

While cleaning up some sql injection problems, I found I had
to rewrite how the inserts were working.
I do not know in advance what fields need to be populated for
inserts so I mad a generic function
to make my inserts.
<cffunction name="insertIntoTable" access="private"
returntype="void">
<cfargument name="table" type="string" required="yes">
<cfargument name="datasource" type="string"
required="yes">
<cfargument name="keyValSet" type="struct"
required="yes">
<cfset var keyList = structKeyList(keyValSet)>
<cfset var curKey = "">
<cfset var curVal = "">
<cfset var comma = "">
<cfset var insertIntoTable = "">
<cfquery datasource="#datasource#"
name="insertIntoTable">
insert into #table# (#keyList#)
values (<cfloop list="#keyList#"
index="curKey">#comma#<cfset comma = ","><cfset curVal
= trim(keyValSet[curKey])><cfif len(curVal) eq
0><cfqueryparam null="yes"><cfelse><cfqueryparam
value="#curVal#"></cfif></cfloop>)
</cfquery>
<cfreturn>
</cffunction>
I know before this call is made that the table names and the
keylist is clean.
I found that I could not simply use a <cfqueryparam
list="yes" ...> as some of
the entries may be null.
My current problem is when someone enters Joe's Crab Shack
into a form field
the corresponding data record results in Joe''s Crab Shack.
I found a hotfix for CF MX 6.1 with something that sounded
similar, however
we are running CF 7.02 on redhat. The db server is an old MS
SQL Server (8.00).

It appears that the two single quotes problem occurs only
when cfloop is used, which looks very similar to one of the
problems the hotfix for CF MX 6.1 had.
Has anyone else come across this problem?

Problem with a query inner-join

Hello;
I'm trying to innerjoin these 2 tables in my query for a page that will allow you to add / edit records. Right now, it's telling me I have a data mismatch. I don't see where I went wrong. Can someone help me out?
This is my code:

I don't see what I did wrong, can another pair of eyes see where I missed something?
Thank you

I changed it to number, and it works now.
I have one other problem.. I'm trying to use a drop down menu in this form to edit a record. I want the drop down to show what is being used in the database when you go to edit a record. It runs on one query, to populate the select, but it pulls info from another and this isn't working. Actually, it's the innerjoin I just made.. can you help me?

<cfquery name="catList" datasource="#APPLICATION.dataSource#">
SELECT DISTINCT merchCategory.CategoryID, merchCategory.CatName AS cat_name
FROM merchCategory
ORDER BY CatName
</cfquery>
<cfselect enabled="No" name="CategoryID" size="1" class="smallText" multiple="no" query="catList" value="CategoryID" display="cat_name" queryPosition="below" selected="#categRec.Name#">
                  <option value="">--Select a Category--</option>
              </cfselect>
As you see, in the selected part of the tag, I'm trying to pull info from the other query we just fixed. I know this is wrong, how do I do this?

Query problem again

Will I ever get this!
I have a form template which runs fine (it registers a user
of my discussino board):
<h2>Register here to post comments to any forum on this
site </h2>
<form action="Education - Bulletin Board - Register -
code.cfm" method="post">
<p>
<strong>Username: </strong>
<input type="text" name="user" />
</p>
<p><br />
<strong>Password: </strong>
<input type="password" name="pass" />
</p>
<p><br />
<strong>Your mother's maiden name (a security
precaution if you forget your username/password and need to
retrieve them): </strong>
<input type="text" name="MaidenName" />
</p>
<p><br />
<strong>Email address (optional - in case I need to
contact you about your posts): </strong>
<input type="text" name="email" />

<p>
<input type="submit" value="Register!" />
<input type="button" value="Back"
onClick="self.location='index.cfm';" />
</p>
</form>
</body>
Now I want to check if the username and password have been
taken by a previous user so I use this code:
<cfif NOT structIsEmpty(form)>
<cfquery name="CheckUserName" datasource= "Education
Forum">
SELECT UserName, Count(UserName) as Duplicates
FROM ForumUsers
WHERE ForumUsers.UserName=#form.user#
GROUPBY ForumUsers.UserName
</cfquery>
<cfquery name="CheckPassword" datasource= "Education
Forum">
SELECT PassWord, Count(PassWord) as Duplicates
FROM ForumUsers
WHERE ForumUsers.Password=#form.PassWord#
GROUPBY Password
</cfquery>
I just count how many times the password has been used. If it
has been used more than once I'll later ask the new user to enter a
different password. Unfortunately, Coldfusion has a problem with
this query. Specifically, it gives me the error:
Access Driver] Syntax error (missing operator) in query
expression 'ForumUsers.UserName=jimmy GROUPBY ForumUsers.UserName'.

I've run into this before, but I don't seem to be able to
grasp the general principle involved.
I'd be very grateful if someone could explain the error in
this particular case and how I can avoid the problem in the futre.
Thanks, once again, very much in advance.

Thanks for the suggestions. I've changed the code to
incorporate the advice as far as I can. It now reads:
<cfif NOT structIsEmpty(form)>
<cfparam name = "form.user" default = 0>
<cfparam name = "form.password" default = 0>
<cfparam name = "form.Email" default = 0>
<cfparam name = "form.MaidenName" default = 0>
<cfquery name="CheckUserName" datasource= "Education
Forum">
SELECT Uname, Count(Uname) as Duplicates
FROM ForumUsers
WHERE ForumUsers.Uname='#form.user#'
GROUPBY ForumUsers.Uname
</cfquery>
<cfquery name="CheckPassword" datasource= "Education
Forum">
SELECT Pword, Count(Pword) as Duplicates
FROM ForumUsers
WHERE ForumUsers.Pword="AK"
GROUPBY Pword
</cfquery>
Unfortunately, it still fails giving me the same error:
Access Driver] Syntax error (missing operator) in query
expression 'ForumUsers.Uname='adk' GROUPBY ForumUsers.Uname'.
The Error Occurred in C:\CFusionMX\wwwroot\Education\Bulletin

SQL SELECT Uname, Count(Uname) as Duplicates FROM ForumUsers
WHERE ForumUsers.Uname='adk' GROUPBY ForumUsers.Uname
DATASOURCE Education Forum

SQLSTATE 42000
I think its just a SQL error as I get the same failure
message if I replace '#form.user#' with say 'GAK'.
Any further suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. I'm still a novice, so how would I use
<cfqueryparam> tags here?

Problem with Prepared Statement & MS Access

Hi
I have tried to find some info about this but can't see anything specific to what I think the problem may be. Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.I am trying to get information out of an MS Access database using a Prepared Statement but I am getting strange results.
When I run the query in the database it gives me the correct totals (�51) for 4 records. When I run the Prepared Statement ,I get 81. Has it got anything to do with the data type I am using( sorry if this is a really basic question). here is my code- the connection etc is elsewhere.
private void getReportMoneyTotal() throws SQLException
          Calendar todayTotal =Calendar.getInstance() ;
           SimpleDateFormat reportDateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd MM yyyy");
          PreparedStatement preparedT =context.getConnection().prepareStatement(
               "SELECT Sum(tblSession.Fee) AS Total, Count(tblBooking.BookingID) AS CountOfBookingID FROM tblSession INNER JOIN "+
               "(tblBooking INNER JOIN tblCustomer_Booking ON tblBooking.BookingID = tblCustomer_Booking.BookingID) ON tblSession.SessionID = tblBooking.SessionID "+
               "WHERE (((tblBooking.EventDate)>DateAdd('m',-1,#"+reportDateFormat.format(todayTotal.getTime())+"#)) AND ((tblSession.Session)='Morning' Or (tblSession.Session)='Evening')) OR (((tblSession.Session)='Afternoon') AND ((tblBooking.Extension)=Yes))"
          ResultSet resultTotal =preparedT.executeQuery();
          resultTotal.next();
          Double total =resultTotal.getDouble("Total");
          Locale locale = new Locale("GBP");
        NumberFormat gbpFormat = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance(locale);
          System.out.println(gbpFormat.format(total));
          preparedT.close();
     }I do realise that my code probably isn't very elegant but I'm only learning!

Hi Matt--
I am not clear if you are saving the url with the # # around
the text or if
the
data already contains the # marks.
When you insert a link, you want to make sure you insert is
insert into table ( link1) values ( <cfqueryparam
cfsqltype="cf_sql_varchar"
value='#linkvaluehere#'> )
remember to
1) enclose your data's value inside quotes (some databases
are picky about
single v. double quotes).
2) if it IS in quotes, swap doubles for singles and see if
that helps.
3) make sure your data being saved is NOT double hashed like
'##linkvalueher##'. Double ##'s tell
Coldfusion not to treat it as a variable.
hope his helps,

Error Handling for CFQUERYPARAM

Is there a way to display the value of cfqueryparam upon a database error? For example:
<cfquery name="causeError" datasource="#application.dsn#">
      select street1 from house, #table2# where house.houseid = #table2#.houseid and house.houseid = #form.houseid#
</cfquery>
The variable table2 is dynamically generated and let's say an error is caused table2 being an empty string or a table that doesn't exist. So the error given is:
[Macromedia][Oracle JDBC Driver][Oracle]ORA-00903: invalid table name
4 : <cfquery name="causeError" datasource="#application.dsn#">
5 : select street1 from house, #table2# where house.houseid = #table2#.houseid and house.houseid = #form.houseid#
6 : </cfquery>
SQL   select street1 from house, where houseid = 123;
So I know that the user was trying to look at a house with houseid = 123. I can then try to replicate the error using the same record in the database which can ultimately can help me diagnose the problem more quickly.
However, if I use cfqueryparam, i.e.:
<cfquery name="causeError" datasource="#application.dsn#">
      select street1 from house, #table2# where house.houseid = #table2#.houseid and house.houseid = <cfqueryparam value="#form.houseid#" cfsqltype="cf_sql_integer">
</cfquery>
I get:
[Macromedia][Oracle JDBC Driver][Oracle]ORA-00903: invalid table name
4 : <cfquery name="causeError" datasource="#application.dsn#">
5 : select street1 from house, #table2# where house.houseid = #table2#.houseid and house.houseid = <cfqueryparam value="#form.houseid#" cfsqltype="cf_sql_integer">
6 : </cfquery>
SQL   select street1 from house, where house.houseid = .houseid and house.houseid = (param 1)
I have no idea what the user entered.

The cfqueryparam value is buried deep in the cfcatch structure. You may get to it, for example, by doing something like this:
<cftry>

<cfcatch type="database">
    <cfdump var="#cfcatch.where#">
</cfcatch>
</cftry>

Problem with queryparams

Recently upgraded to Coldfusion 7 using JDBC drivers (V 3.5)
with Oracle 8i. Since then we have been getting problems with some
queryparams in <cfquery> SQL statement...., eg,
<cfqueryparam
value="#ValueList(get_service.ct_service_id)#" list="yes">. This
returns the following error:
Error executing Databse query. [Macromedia][Oracle JDBC]
Internal error: Net8 protocol error.
<cfqueryPARAM value="#arguments.request_id#"
cfsqltype="cf_sql_integer" maxlength="10"> This returns the
following error:
For input string: ":099960" null.
Can anyone help?

Hi, Beverley.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand that you are unable to trim clips using iMovie. I would need a little more information on how you were attempting to trim a clip to provide a better answer. However, make sure you have the movie project open and are selecting the clip that you wish to trim as this will activate the clip trimmer.

Error in cfqueryparam, when getting date field from cfpop

Hi all,
i'm taking data from cfpop to store them in the database.
There are problems with date data:
INSERT .....
POST_DATE = <cfqueryparam value="#date#"
cfsqltype="cf_sql_timestamp">
But it fails in some situations, for instance:
The cause of this output exception was that:
coldfusion.runtime.locale.CFLocaleBase$InvalidDateTimeException:
"19 Sep 2006 00:51:33 +0200" is an invalid date or time string
Ok, I'm using English locale and tried to use
ParseDateTime(date, 'pop'). But it doesn't work either (!):
"19 Sep 2006 00:51:33 +0200" is not a valid date format. But
'pop' supposes, that this is format with time zone offset!!
P.S. The problem was that some email messages had incorrect
date format: one didn't have a day of week, another one - even day
of month!!!
To make life simpler, i've just added a regexp check:
<cfif
ReFindNoCase("[A-z]{3}\,\s[0-9]{2}\s[A-z]{3}\s[0-9]{2,4}\s[0-9]{2}:[0-9]{2}:[0-9]{2}\s(?: \+|\-)?[0-9]{4}",
date, 0)>
<cfset dateField = date>
<cfelse>
<cfset dateField = now()>
</cfif>
I'm not going to parse every possible date format
error.

I don't believe there's anyway to have Access ignore it on an import. What you can try instead is link to the file (instead of importing it) and write a query that updates the table based on the linked table, with an appropriate edit on the date/time field.

ColdFusion Verity Search Float Problem

I have a database full of products. One of the fields for each product in the database is a minimum price. I'm trying to create a search that says something like "find all products with a minimum price between X and Y." However, when it returns results, it includes numbers that are out of the range. For instance, if I say between 2 and 3 dollars, it will return the correct results but will include numbers like 25.00 and 245.00, and when I do something like "between 4 and 5 dollars" it returns the correct results with additional numbers like "40.00" and "434.00." So it seems to me that ColdFusion can't process the floating number correctly...It sees a number like "40.00" and assumes its in the range between 4 and 5. Here is my code for the indexing:
<cfquery name="v_qryProductInfo" datasource="#application.DSN#">
SELECT DISTINCT    SP.pk_storeProductID,
                P.productName,
                C.categoryName,
                P.prodTimeMin,
                P.prodTimeMax,
                PD.miniDesc,
                PD.keywords,
                CONVERT(float, (dbo.getMinPrice(pk_storeProductID))) AS minPrice
FROM             tblProduct P
INNER JOIN        tblProductDescription PD ON P.pk_productID = PD.fk_productID
INNER JOIN        tblStoreProduct SP ON P.pk_productID = SP.fk_productID
INNER JOIN        tblProductSubCategory PSC ON SP.pk_storeProductID = PSC.fk_productID
INNER JOIN        tblSubCategory SC ON SC.pk_subCategoryID = PSC.fk_subCategoryID
INNER JOIN        tblCategory C ON C.pk_categoryID = SC.fk_categoryID
WHERE            (SP.blnStoreActive = 1)
AND                (SP.fk_storeID = #application.storeID#)
</cfquery>
<cfdump var="#v_qryProductInfo#">
<h1>Indexing data...</h1>
<cfindex
    action="refresh"
    collection="#application.vcCollection#"
    key="pk_storeProductID"
    type="custom"
    title="productName"
    query="v_qryProductInfo"
    body="miniDesc, keywords, pk_storeProductID, minPrice"
    Custom1="minPrice"
    Custom2="prodTimeMin"
    Custom3="prodTimeMax"
    Custom4="categoryName"
>
My cfsearch tag criteria looks like this:
    <cfsearch
        criteria="CF_CUSTOM1 >= #priceRangeMin# <AND> CF_CUSTOM1 <= #priceRangeMax#"
        name="qryFoundProducts"
        collection="#application.vcCollection#">
I've made the Custom1 column for the indexing the "minPrice" which is calculated as a function in my database. I've even tried making sure the number that is being entered in the Custom1 index is a float by using the CONVERT function in my SQL code. Any ideas why ColdFusion can't properly relate a float? It seems like it's trying to compare a string and a float, which isn't working too well.
Any info would be greatly apprecaited.

Well, firstly: don't blame Adobe for Verity... Verity is (well: was) a separate product, and I don't think Verity as a company has even existed during Adobe's tenure at the helm (to mix metaphors awkwardly) of CF.
That said, one perhaps can blame Adobe for any disconnect between Verity and CF's support thereof, if Verity does actually support numeric processing, and CF mungs that somehow. I'm not saying this is the case, but who knows?
What Adobe perhaps didn't do is ditch or deprecate Verity earlier than it did. Lucene's been around for ages, and has been solid for ages, so I don't know why they didn't revise their search engine support earlier than they did. Oh well.
Now: your issue.
First thing, this won't work:
<cfset keyList = #Val(ValueList(qryFoundProducts.key))#>
val() returns the value of a number, whereas valueList() returns... a list. So it val() works at all, the result will just be the value of the first number in the list. You also don't need the pound-signs there, but either way, it won't affect your situation.
Second, as CF is loosely typed, it doesn't matter if you pass a numeric string or an actual number to a <cfqueryparam> tag, if you've said the value is supposed to be an integer (CF_SQL_INTEGER), then CF will automatically convert it to an integer if it can. So provided the values in your query column can be expressed as integers, they will convert with no intervention on your part.
So, in that light, I'm not sure your problem is necessarily what you think it is..?
But you say there's a problem in your WHERE clause, but you don't actually say what the problem actually is. Are you getting an error? Or just no records? The wrong records?
What do you see if you dump the query out? If you take the values output by valueList() and execute the query with those values in a different DB client (like MS SQL Studio or whatever), do you get the results you expect?
What sort of data is in the Verity collection btw? Are they documents, or DB data, or a mix, or what? If there are PKs coming out of the collection, it sounds like the data came from a DB in the first place. Can you not use full-text searching in your DB, and leave Verity out of the equation?

Query Problem when converting from access to Mysql

I am trying to get a small application to work with a mysql
db. The original
db is access, for some reason I am getting an error now that
the db has been
converted over to mysql. Any gurus out there spot the
problem. Here is the
query:
<cfquery name="getprevmonth"
username="#request.myDBUserName#"
password="#request.myDBPassword#"
datasource="#request.myDSN#">
SELECT cal_date,(day(cal_date)) AS theprevmonth
FROM jot_eventcal
WHERE (cal_date >=
#CreateDate(Year(prev_date),Month(prev_date),1)#) and
(cal_date <=
#CreateDate(Year(prev_date),Month(prev_date),DaysInMonth(prev_date))#)
</cfquery>
This query works fine when I test the application Locally, it
only messes up
when I test online. The error code is:
Syntax error or access violation: You have an error in your
SQL syntax.
Thanks for any assistance in advance...........and a happy
new year to you
all.

I don't know the answer but, it might be that using
createdate is not sufficient. Try wrapping that date into either a
cfqueryparam or createodbcdate.
Something else to bear in mind when switching db's is that
they don't all have the same functions. I don't use mySql so I
don't actually know, but I'd be checking the manual to make sure it
has a day function.
Not a syntax, but a potential logic error is that you are
using a function called day to create an alias called theprevmonth.
At the very least, it's misleading and might confuse you later
on.

Cfquery sql update loop problem

Trying something a bit tricky, need some ideas.
I've got an array of objects that I pass to a cfc from flex, I'm trying to save this array to the database.
Here's what I have that doesn't work.
<cfquery name="setObjDetail" datasource="test">
     UPDATE ObjTable
     SET
     <cfloop index="i" from="1" to="#len(objDetails)#">
          #objDetails[i].Name# = '#objDetails[i].Value[1]#' ,
     </cfloop>
WHERE OBJID = <cfqueryparam value="#objID#" cfsqltype="cf_sql_integer">
</cfquery>
The error I'm getting is
faultCode:Server.Processing faultString:'Unable to invoke CFC - Complex object types cannot be converted to simple values.' faultDetail:'The expression has requested a variable or an intermediate expression result as a simple value, however, the result cannot be converted to a simple value. Simple values are strings, numbers, boolean values, and date/time values. Queries, arrays, and COM objects are examples of complex values. <p> The most likely cause of the error is that you are trying to use a complex value as a simple one. For example, you might be trying to use a query variable in a cfif tag.'
I have the feeling it's due to the equals symbol (and maybe the comma at the end too). I've tried putting cfoutput tags around it, using ToString method... running out of ideas.
Both #objDetails[i].Name# and #objDetails[i].Value[1]# evaluate correctly.
Thanks.

Hi guys thanks for the replies.
Yes I'd figured out it was ArrayLen which was the problem in the error message.
I still have problems, I think it's because Coldfusion doesn't like that equals sign... so I tried
<cfquery name="setObjDetail" datasource="test">
     UPDATE ObjTable
     SET
     <cfloop index="i" from="1" to="#ArrayLen(objDetails)#">
          #objDetails[i].Name# & " = '" & #objDetails[i].Value[1]# & "',"
     </cfloop>
WHERE OBJID = <cfqueryparam value="#objID#" cfsqltype="cf_sql_integer">
</cfquery>
However this is giving me the following error
faultCode:Server.Processing faultString:'Unable to invoke CFC - You have attempted to dereference a scalar variable of type class java.lang.String as a structure with members.' faultDetail:''
Which also comes up when I just have
<cfquery name="setObjDetail" datasource="test">
     UPDATE ObjTable
     SET
     <cfloop index="i" from="1" to="#ArrayLen(objDetails)#">
          #objDetails[i].Name# = '#objDetails[i].Value[1]#' ,
     </cfloop>
WHERE OBJID = <cfqueryparam value="#objID#" cfsqltype="cf_sql_integer">
</cfquery>
So maybe it's nothing to do with the equals sign.
Any suggestions?

CFQUERYPARAM tag not working in GROUP BY clause

I am getting an error whenever I put a CFQUERYPARAM tag in a
GROUP BY clause. I saw on another message board someone was having
a similar problem with the ORDER BY clause
Here is a sample of what my code might look like
select x, y, z from abc
group by <cfqueryparam value="x"
cfsqltype="cf_sql_float">
Here is the error I receive.
Error Executing Database Query.
[Macromedia][Oracle JDBC Driver][Oracle]ORA-00979: not a

Any insight?

The cachedwithin and cachedafter functions store the query
results in the server's RAM. That means, while it's cached,
whenever you run it, you get the cached result instead of going to
the database to run it again. This increases speed of course, but
if the data changes during the cache period, you have accuracy
problems.
It does not create memory issues. In the administrator you
reserve a certain amount of memory for query caching. If you exceed
that amount, the last query in pushes the first query out, or
something like that.
With regards to what you are trying to do about binding
variables in your group by clause, that's not what cfqueryparam was
designed for. It was designed for
where clauses (where this = <cfqueryparam etc>
or insert queries (insert into my table (field) values
(<cfqueryparam>
and things like that.
You are trying to use it for something other than what it was
designed for, which explains why it's not working for you.

CFC method memory problem

Hi all,
I use CFCs a lot, so when I was creating a tool to migrate
some database tables, I built the actual data transfer function as
a method of a CFC. The basic code just reads a block of 1000
records from the old db, does some minor manipulation of the data,
and then inserts the records into the new db a record at a time
inside a cfloop. Lather, rinse, repeat, until all of the 500K+
records have been transferred.
I was surprised to find that this leads to Java out of memory
errors around the 200Kth record (given my current JVM memory
settings). Having run across a similar problem when sending
broadcast emails from a CFC method, I simply moved the code out of
the CFC method and into the calling cfm page, and it ran through
all of the records without any problems.
The only explanation I can think of for this behavior is that
when the code is inside a CFC method, the query object used to read
the blocks of 1000 records keeps getting reallocated rather than
reused, so when it gets to the point of trying to store 200 blocks
of 1000 records in memory, it runs out of room. If that's the case,
it would seem to be a significant bug that needs to be fixed.
Does anyone know if that's what is really going on?
Thanks,
Russ

Fair enough. Youd didn't really tell us that part before,
though.
So you have a calling template which calls an equivalent to
this function
for 100-odd tables? Yikes. I'll reiterate my question whether
this can't
possibly be done DB to DB or via a bulk insert.

Well it kinda is about this particular tool, because it's
this code that's
causing the problems (or something about the calling code, or
something
like that). Obviously there's some idiosyncasy of it which
gives you
problems when it's in a CFC method as opposed to mainline
code, but I would
not immediately say it's a generic problem with CFCs vs CFMs.
Just yet.
Is this the first table that's being migrated? Or is it
buried somewhere
within the other 100-odd? Is it always this one, or can it
happen on any
of them?
Can you inspect the memory usage between each table's
function, and see if
there's anything unexpected going on (other than it running
out of memory,
which is - in itself - unexpected!).
Do you have 100-odd methods (one for each table) in the CFC,
or lots of
individual CFCs?
I guess you could call a GC in between each table's
processing, and see if
you can keep check on memory usage that way. Or maybe check
memory levels
within that loop you've got, and if it starts flaring up, doa
GC then.
It's not advised to call GCs "by hand", but I have found it's
helped some
times.
Have you sued CF's server monitor or something like
FusionReactor to check
if anything unexpected is consuming RAM?
I think you should try adding <cfqueryparam> tags to
your queries: CF might
be cachinng some info about them, and that could be leaking
memory or
something. Maybe try <cfobjectcache action = "clear">
between each method
callor something.
I wonder if there's something about the fact you're replacing
oldInfo with
a new query within a loop that has a condition based on
oldInfo's record
count. Possibly this is forcing CF to maintain the previous
oldInfo
queries in the background, so you're not actually overwriting
the previous
one with the next one when you requery, you're actually just
getting a new
pointer assigned. Do me a favour, and do this:
<cfset iRecCount = OldInfo.RecordCount>
<cfloop condition="iRecCount GT 0">

<cfquery name="OldInfo" datasource="dsOld"
maxrows="#GetRecsCount#">
</cfquery>
<cfset iRecCount = OldInfo.RecordCount>
</cfloop>
This is a slightly far-fetched notion, but it doesn't hurt to
try: it's a
pretty easy change.
> come up enough times now that I'd like to determine if
there is a workaround.
> Due to the deadline I'm on, I haven't tried simply
assigning the query object

> soon so I can report on the result.
It might pay to apply a test rig to this notion first:
0) on a dev machine without any other activity
1) grab the heap usage
2) load a big query in
3) grab the heap usage (should losely reflect the fact you've
just stuck a
chunk of data in RAM)
4) set the query variable to be an empty string
5) grab the heap usage. Check to see if the memory is
reclaimed straight
away.
You might need to do a GC between 4+5 for it to take effect.
I speculate
that the RAM won't get freed up straight away, and you might
be consuing it
faster than the JVM can clear it.

Problem inserting record using INSERT INTO

I am an amateur web builder using some ColdFusion functionality to access information on an Access database. I know very little about ColdFusion syntax, but I'm using Dreamweaver CS3 to help generate most of the code. I'm working on an insert record page to create a user database with login information. I'm not sure what the problem is, but I'm getting a syntax error referencing this particular portion of the code:
Syntax error in INSERT INTO statement.
The error occurred in C:\ColdFusion9\wwwroot\Everett\register.cfm: line 22
Below is the entire page with line 22 (referenced in the error message) in red. Any ideas?

Syntax error in INSERT INTO statement. INSERT INTO Users ([First Name], [Last Name], [Email Address], Password)
That oh-so-uninformative error is because "Password" is a reserved word with your database driver. Either escape it by putting square brackets around it too, or rename the column permanently. It is best to avoid using reserved words whenever possible. So renaming the column is the better option. Also, I would try and avoid using invalid characters like spaces in column names ie "First Name". It is technically allowed, but it requires special handling everywhere which adds unecessary complexity.
I'm not sure what the problem is, but I'm getting a syntax error referencing this particular portion of the code:
Do not take the error line numbers as gospel. Sometimes they just indicate that the error is within the vincinty of that line.
I'm using Dreamweaver CS3 to help generate most of the code
Unforutnately, DW wizards generate some truly awful and verbose code. To give you an idea, here is what the query should look like, without all the wizard nonsense.
<cfparam name="FORM.first_name" default="">
<cfparam name="FORM.last_name" default="">
<cfparam name="FORM.email" default="">
<cfparam name="FORM.FORM.password" default="">
<cfquery datasource="YourDSNName">
    INSERT INTO Users ([First Name], [Last Name], [Email Address], [Password])
    VALUES (
      <cfqueryparam value="#FORM.first_name#" cfsqltype="cf_sql_varchar">
     , <cfqueryparam value="#FORM.last_name#" cfsqltype="cf_sql_varchar">
     , <cfqueryparam value="#FORM.email#" cfsqltype="cf_sql_varchar">
     , <cfqueryparam value="#FORM.password#" cfsqltype="cf_sql_varchar">
</cfquery>
CF is pretty easy to learn. You might want to begin perusing the CF documentation and a few tutorials to get more familiar with the language. Since you are working with a database, I would also recommend a SQL tutorial.

Preventing SQL injection - can't use cfqueryparam in this case

Hello. I have a form with a checkbox next to each row. If the user checks some boxes, then clicks the "Delete" button, I want to execute the following query, but I want to protect it from sql injection attacks:
    <cfquery datasource="#application.mainDS#">
        delete userMessages
        where messageID in (#form.messageID#)
    </cfquery>
As written above, it works fine. But if I try to protect this code with <cfqueryparam value="#form.messageID#" cfsqltype="cf_sql_varchar">, I get this error: "Conversion failed when converting the varchar value '7,21' to data type int" (7 and 21 are the messageID's to be deleted). Obviously the comma prevents conversion to an integer.
If I use cfsqltype="cf_sql_integer", then the string gets converted to a single integer (in this case 40015, which is nonsense).
I tried passing form.messageID to a stored procedure, but I seemed to have the same problem there. I could run the query in a loop where I just delete one row at a time, but I'd like to run just one query if I can do it safely. Any ideas?
Thanks.

I agree that you should not do an SQL "DELETE" from a web page. Instead, use "soft deletes," where you contrive for there to be a deleted_flag (boolean), and maybe deleted_by (varchar) and deleted_timestamp. Then create an SQL "VIEW" which automagically omits the "deleted" records.
It is also a very good idea to refer to the records using a nonsensical, made-up "moniker" instead of actual record-IDs. You see, "if I am a nasty person and I know that there is a record #123456, then I'll bet I know the record-IDs of 123,455 other records, too." But if you refer to the record as "QZB0E9S" and the next record-id in the list is "4Q_9RJPEM2" then it won't take me long to realize that I can't get too far, not even by brute-force. (And if I see that the record-IDs seem to have verification tags, like "QZB0E9S:4E396", then I know that I am really scroo'd in my hacking-attempt because even if I did somehow million-monkeys my way into a valid record-ID, I've got no earthly idea how to come up with the tag.
It pays to code defensively, like this. And it doesn't really take more time. Without question, always use <cfqueryparam> !!

Problem looping insert query

I'm working on inserting a recordset up Google Calendar entries into my site database. I have a form set up that allows me to insert new entries into the data table, but when I try to loop the insert query over the Google recordset, I get nothing (no errors, but no entries added to database).
Here's my form, which both displays the values from the Google query and populates fields (mostly hidden) with those values to submit to the Insert query. There's also a line that checks to make sure the event hasn't been canceled (canceled events are still listed, the start and end times are just set to null values):
<form method="post" action="<cfoutput>#CurrentPage#</cfoutput>">
<table cellpadding="2" border="1">
<cfset thisRow = 0>
<cfloop query="band_events">
<cfif IsDefined("starttime") AND IsDefined("endtime") AND starttime NEQ "" AND endtime NEQ "">
<cfset thisRow = thisRow + 1>
<cfoutput>
<tr>
<td>#thisRow#</td>
<td><input name="update#thisRow#" type="checkbox" checked="checked" /></td>

</cfoutput>

</table>
<input type="hidden" name="totalRows" value="#row#" />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" />
<input type="hidden" name="update_events" value="update_events" />
</form>
Here's the action script. There's some extra code in there to convert some of the date formats Google uses, and to account for the differences in time zones between the Google values and local time:
<cfif StructKeyExists(form,"update_events")>
<cfset loopCount = form["totalRows"]>
<cfloop index="row" from="1" to="#loopCount#">
    <cfset thisCalendar = form["calendar" & row]>

    <cfset thisStarttime = form["starttime" & row]>
    <cfset thisEndtime = form["endtime" & row]>
    <cfif TimeFormat(thisStarttime,"hh:mm tt") EQ "12:00 AM" AND TimeFormat(thisEndtime,"hh:mm tt") EQ "12:00 AM">
      <cfset thisAllDay = -1>
    <cfelse>
      <cfset thisAllDay = 0>
      <cfset thisStarttime = DateAdd("h",5,thisStarttime)>
      <cfset thisEndtime = DateAdd("h",5,thisEndtime)>

I'm thinking there must be something pretty obvious I've screwed up, but I can't for the life of me find it. Any help would be appreciated!

First, I see this:
<cfset thisRow = thisRow + 1>
Which is you counting the number of rows, I assume. Then I see this:
<input type="hidden" name="totalRows" value="#row#" />
But I don't see where #row# has been set.
You are correct. That was a combination of a couple different attempts at this and I used the wrong variable name on that line. Alas, correcting that didn't solve the problem.
Then I see this:form["totalRows"]
When I'm used to seeing this:
FORM.totalRows
I've never seen the form["name"] before. Does that actually work?
I read somewhere that that's a more effective way of factoring the variable in the name of the form field as an alternative to Evaluate("form.field#row#"). I think it was somewhere on Ray Camden's blog, but it was a while ago. The only reason I used it there was for consistency. That spot could easily have been FORM.totalRows, but the others would have to be either Evaluate("FORM.calendar#row#") or form["calendar" & row]. Again, I'm learning as I go, though, so I may have used it incorrectly. It's not throwing errors though, it's just reloading a blank page, as if it's submitting the form, but not actually processing the query. That's the confusing part to me.
