You need to set the null attribute to yes, if the value is null <cfqueryparam value="qGetData.PMEDICDATE" cfsqltype="CF_SQL_TIMESTAMP" null="yes">
Or INSERT INTO tblFeed( PMEDICDATE ) VALUES ( NULL ) PS. Use DTS to import files! -- Taco Fleur Senior Web Systems Engineer http://www.webassociates.com -----Original Message----- From: Brant Winter [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, 23 November 2004 9:57 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: inserting empty dates into MSSQL hi - I have now spent 1 whole day trying to import a whole stack of CSV data into a MSSQL table. My insert query keeps falling over when it hits an empty date field. The MSDE table has a datetime field to enter this particular date into, but some of my CSV fields have empty dates, and will continue to have empty dates from time to time. I have tried: INSERT INTO tblFeed( PMEDICDATE ) VALUES ( #CreateODBCDateTime(qGetData.PMEDICDATE)# ) and: INSERT INTO tblFeed( PMEDICDATE ) VALUES ( <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_timestamp" value="qGetData.PMEDICDATE"> ) I just cant get anything to work, I can import data until it hits a row with an empty date field. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Special thanks to the CF Community Suite Gold Sponsor - CFHosting.net http://www.cfhosting.net Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:185099 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
