Substr function not working in coldfusion sql

Hi all,
I am using coldfusion 7.0.2 with oracle 10g. I've the
following simple query
select substr(colname,1,3) from tablename
this query works fine if i run it using TOAD or SQLPLUS but
when i run this query in coldfusion script i get the following
error
[Table (rows 9 columns SUBSTR(colname,1,3)):
[SUBSTR(colname,1,3): coldfusion.sql.QueryColumn@fc7be7] ] is not
indexable by SUBSTR(colname
can anybody tell me why it doesn't work in coldfusion but
works fine in sqlplus?
thank you

There's no such thing as "coldfusion sql" (sic). Everything
between the
<cfquery> tags is simply resolved (ie: CF runtime
statements between
pound-signs) and passed straight to the DB drivers, and
thence to the DB
itself. CF does no SQL processing at all.
Your error kind of suggests a syntac error AFTER the query
has been
executed though.
Could you post some code, and point out which precise line is
erroring?

    Hi Krishna,
    This is Kiran, I am trying to restrict a (string) filed value by removing the spaces and wring to calculated column field in an Analytical view for position 6 - 10.
    Example: Field name XYZ (Values showing as: ASDFG GETVALUENW  2345) --> (data type :22 VARCHAR)
    Output Value must be : GETVALUENW (which is 10 characters, from position 6 after trimming)
    Please advice which function use and how to apply the syntax
    Your inputs are highly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Kiran.

    v_trm variable never gets trimmed. Checked with debugger too. It just leaves whitespaces.
    Help!

    Obviously. You search for CHR(9) - tab. Then you do substr and specify length as tab position. Therefore substring includes tab - ends with a tab. Obviously trim spaces will not remote them. Anyway, change:
    v_str := substr(c1.text,0,v_t);to
    v_str := substr(c1.text,1,v_t - 1);and you'll be OK.

  • Not able to sign into Blackberry Protect. Backup and Restore function not working. "Your device isn't associated with a Blackberry ID"

    Not able to sign into Blackberry Protect.  Backup and Restore function not working. Message is: "Your device isn't associated with a Blackberry ID."  My Blackberry Messenger and Blackberry World is working fine so I am sure its not an ID issue on the phone.  I can sign into Link, Blackberry.com and Protect.  I see my device in Protect but cannot send messages or view it on a map.  Times out with cannot reach device message.  BB Protect on Device has a swirling circle beside the on/of switch.  Cannot turn off.  
    I have deleted Link and re-installed.
    I have reset phone to default(factory) and signed in. 
    OS level is 10.2.1.3062
    BB Link is 1.2.3.56
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I managed to figure this out myself. I had to delete the device from the Blackberry Protect website.  protect.blackberry.com.  I wiped my device again and signed in with my Blackberry ID.  I dont know if the step of wiping was necessary as I did not try my backup with the current configuration on the device following the delete.  Restore is in progress for me!

    Hi,
    I got solution to my problem of webservice is not working in CF8.
    the problem was
    we have already a "rt.jar" file in a location and we defined this location in CF Admin >> java jvm >> classpath
    so this file was conflicting.
    i simply removes this file path from CF Admin.
    and restart the CF services.
    and my web service start working.

  • Why is the scroll function not working after accessing the voice feature in settings?

    Why is the scroll function not working after accessing the voice feature in settings?

    For some prerecorded audio files the Transpose slider will not work reliably. I found no clear pattern, when it does and when not.
    If all fails, create a loop from the audio file. Select the region in the track and use the command "File: Add region to Loop library".
    Set the current key and tempo, name the loop, and save the loop.
    Now add it from the loop browser to a new track and delete your old track. The search field in the Loop browser will help you to find the loop quickly.
    You will be able to transpose the sample as described above, like a regular loop.
    For example - a audio file turned into a loop and transposed:

  • MDX -Children count function Not working in Case statement

    Hi,
    I am trying to create set when you slice with the Hierarchy member is leaf level , I want a output only that Leaf level .

    But the problem here is when I select child member or leaf member , The first condition in the Case is not working

    Hi Santosh,
    I don't think Children count function not working in case statement, I have tested it on my local environment, here s the sample query for you reference.
    with member
    testset as
    case
    when
    [Geography].[Geography].currentmember.children.count<10

    In your scenario, the issue might be caused by the query isself, you can try to use IsLeaf Funcion to achieve your requirement. Please refer to the links below.
