Not being an Oracle man, my first thing to check would be <> over != Then I'd check whether the values in TABLE_NAME are not padded with white space. Are they?
Ade -----Original Message----- From: Charles Heizer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 07 March 2005 17:53 To: CF-Talk Subject: OT: Oracle Query Question Hello, I have a query that gets all of the tables. <CFQUERY NAME="q_Tables" DATASOURCE="#settings.GlobalDS#"> SELECT TABLE_NAME FROM USER_TABLES </CFQUERY> Now what I want to do is exclude a few tables from this query. I want to exclude a table called 'devicestate' and 'devicestatus'. I tried to add the following to the statement but it did not exclude. WHERE TABLE_NAME != 'devicestate' Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks, - Charles -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
