CreateODBCDate()
I'm stumped. This is an UPDATE query running on a CF8 server with an Access
backend. (This is before I started using cfqueryparam and I haven't had a
chance to update this code.) I've abbreviated the page.
cfparam name=FORM.DuesExpire default=
In the query: DuesExpire = cfif len(FORM.DuesExpire) EQ
0NULLcfelse#CreateODBCDate(FORM.DuesExpire)#/cfif,
This has been working.
I'm using cftry. Here's the message it sent me:
Detail: [Macromedia][SequeLink JDBC Driver][ODBC Socket][Microsoft][ODBC
Microsoft Access Driver] Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression 'd
'20141-04-30'}'
It shows the query: ..., DuesExpire = {d '20141-04-30'}, ...
I tried a test, thinking that the FORM value was malformed (it's set by the
program, not manually entered):
cfset x = '20141/04/01'
cfoutput#CreateODBCDate(x)#/cfoutput
That throws:
20141/04/01 is an invalid date or time string.
This implies to me that an error would have been thrown by the attempt to
create the date via CreateODBCDate, but it looks to me like the function
created a malformed ODBC date and the program choked when it tired to insert
that into the table.
Am I missing something? Any suggestions what happened?

RE: CreateODBCDate()

Your year is 20141 that is close to twenty thousand years in the future.
I know that - that's why I get the error on UPDATE. My question is has anyone
ever seen CreateODBCDate create something like this?
My point below is that if FORM had passed 04/30/20141 to CreateODBCDate the
error would have been thrown there and the query would never be attempted. It
looks to me like FORM passed 04/30/2014 (which would be correct in this
context) and CreateODBCDate added the 20,000 years. I don't know why it would
do that.

RE: CreateODBCDate()
Are you sure that you aren't adding that twenty thousand years by accident?
It is for a dues expire, are you doing a + 1 to it? For example:
cfset Variables.mydate = '04/30/2014' /
cfset Variables.mydate = Variables.mydate + 1 /
Result in this case would be Variables.mydate = '04/40/20141'.
Instead something like dateadd(m, 1, Variables.mydate) needs to be used.
Just a possibility. We can only guess without seeing the code between where the
date comes in and when it is actually processed by the createodbcdate.

In the query: DuesExpire = cfif len(FORM.DuesExpire) EQ 0NULLcfelse#CreateODBCDate(FORM.DuesExpire)#/cfif, So I suppose you're using the variable DuesExpire in the SQL code.

Re: CreateODBCDate()

Yes. If you enter a numeric expression (or something that evaluates to a
number), rather than a date string, that could happen. For example:
createODBCDate(6662510)
But as mentioned, that is just guess without knowing more.

Access will not process 20141 as a valid year in a date field. It only
goes up to . Dates are stored as double floating point fields with
the fraction holding the time and the value representing the date.
Access code will take dates as #mm/dd/# format so
DuesExpire = #04/30/2014#, would be valid in your UPDATE
query.
I would not assume the limits on IsDate() or createODBCDate()
and the internal database engine date/time representation to be
working off the same rules.

RE: Best use for createODBCdate(), cfqueryparam CF_SQL_DATE vs. CF_SQL_TIMESTAMP
Not every DB supports every CFQueryParam cfsqltype. For instance, I used to use _DATE in MS SQL Server, but then one day it started throwing errors on SQL Server 2005. If you look in the documentation, it will show you how everything maps. _TIMESTAMP is supported by MS SQL Server. As far as CreateODBCDate() and CreateODBCDateTime()... Not sure how important they are. If you use CFQueryParam, I believe the tag will format things properly for you. I guess you could use CreateODBCDate() if you wanted to pass a Date/time object with zerod out time. But then again, I don't know if there is any advantage to doing that over just formatting the value you pass to the tag. I imagine that CreateODBCDate() type functions are used mainly for databases that do not allow data binding and therefore do not allow CFQueryParam?? More of a backwards compatability thing...

RE: Best use for createODBCdate(), cfqueryparam CF_SQL_DATE vs. CF_SQL_TIMESTAMP
As far as with is better Not sure. Personally, I never use CreateODBCDate() or CreateODBCDateTime(). If your database supports CFQueryParam tag, I would recommend that one. It has several advantages in terms of query performance. Ex. I would do WHERE date_created = cfqueryparam value=#Now()# cfsqltype=CF_SQL_TIMESTAMP / Instead of ... WHERE date_created = #CreateODBCDateTime( Now() )# In fact, if you are using Now(), you wouldn't even need the CreateODBCDateTime() method call as Now() is already ODBC time stamp.

RE: CreateOdbcDate(column - not variable) within a CFQuery
Looks like you are mixing CF and Oracle processing. CreateODBCDate() is a CFML function, it is processed by CF so the data you pass to it must exist within CF, it can't be a database column.

Re: CreateOdbcDate(column - not variable) within a CFQuery
You can do it in the query. You just need to use Oracle date functions to do it. Try this: cfquery name=findlastyear datasource=enrichment select * from mydevelopmentevents where realdate Between cfqueryparam cfsqltype=cf_sql_timestamp value=#CreateODBCDate(begin)# and cfqueryparam cfsqltype=cf_sql_timestamp value=#CreateODBCDate(end)# order by realdate /cfquery Not knowing what format begin and end are in means this might still need some fine-tuning. You might not need the createodbcdate at all, though I don't _think_ it will hurt anything as long as you use cfqueryparam - it _should_ convert it to the proper oracle date/time format. You will also want to consider whether time is of importance, here. If you don't add a time for end, I believe you're going to get midnight, which is probably not what you want, as you could be loosing some events that are right at the end of your range. You can use trunc(realdate) to drop off the time from your oracle column (no # signs - it's an oracle function).

RE: CreateOdbcDate(column - not variable) within a CFQuery
You should strive to use cfqueryparam *anywhere* you currently use a CF variable in any SQL statement, not just a select statement. I add the disclaimer in that I don't use cfqueryparam for values that are created in my CF pages. I use them anywhere I accept user-supplied values. * They reduce the threat of sql injection attacks. * They auto-escape single quotes that can bring down the most-powerful of queries. * They increase performance of the query (negligible, I guess). * They look damn impressive.

RE: CreateOdbcDate(column - not variable) within a CFQuery
I hate to sound as ignorant as I am, but I don't use cfqueryparam. Where should I use it and why. Is it just for selects? Mark You should use cfqueryparam in any SQL statement that uses dynamic, especially user provided values, for security and performance. It is not just for selects but updates and inserts as well. By using cfqueryparam you are allowing your database (if it supports this feature) to create bind variables. This allows the database to create more efficient and reusable processing plans. This usually provides for improved performance. For security; since you have declared your values to be variables, not just a string fragment, this largely mitigates SQL injection attacks where mean users provide SQL code as part of their values to your database, allowing them to circumnavigate security and/or alter or destroy data. Thus, one should use cfqueryparam whenever possible for all values used in SQL built in ColdFusion code. -- Ian Skinner Web Programmer BloodSource www.BloodSource.org Sacramento, CA C code.

Your string isn't a date - it's an 8 digit long number CreateODBCDate() is expecting a date value, not a numeric - so it's problably looking at it as 20,040,109 days from 1900, which would put it at a stupid year Now, which order are your entries in?

RE: CreateODBCDate - SOLVED
Just so everyone knows there were registry entries left-over in the Web Server OS which ODBC was looking at to pull an incorrect format ODBC date even after we had changed the server date/time to US English (date/time format was still pulling as British english). A call to Microsoft pointed us to incorrect registry entries and BAM problem solved. Something to keep in mind when implementing applications in the UK.

RE: CreateODBCDate
Now when you say cf server clock, are you talking about the
operating system clock the coldfusion server is running on,
or is there a separate setting which the coldfusion server
keeps track of, and if it keeps track of it is this a setting
set when coldfusion is installed? Where in the administrator
can I check this date/time setting? I havent found one yet.
The Now function returns the time from the operating system clock. CF
doesn't have its own internal clock.
Can anyone tell me exactly where the createODBCdate function
in coldfusion gets its date from? The problem we are running

The CreateODBCDate function returns an ODBC-compliant date string, which
looks something like this:
{d '2001-12-13'}
which is 13 December 2001.
My guess is that your operating system is set to UK English settings, and
that CF is picking up on that. You might look at the International
Functions section of your CF function documentation to see how to deal with
the issue programmatically.

Ok, I thought I had the jist of this but. no... I am doing a query on a table that has a date field.

Re: simple createODBCdate question
Here is the code:
CFSET NewDate=CreateODBCDate(#dateformat(Now(),"mm/dd/yy")#)
Should be cfset NewDate = #CreateODBCDate(Now())#
Pound signs always go on the outside, any text not escaped (inside single
or double quotes) insides the pound signs are interpreted as
variables. And creating a date will automatically format the date
correctly, so no need for the dateformat command. And the date format for
ODBC dates aren't mm/dd/yy anyway, they are {d '-mm-dd'} Hope this helps.

Re: simple createODBCdate question
in this case, the pound signs really aren't even necessary because you're
already in a cfset statement. i think the recommendation is to not use them
inside of cf tags because you're "over-coding". try:
cfset NewDate = CreateODBCDate(Now())
-emily
CFSET NewDate=CreateODBCDate(#dateformat(Now(),"mm/dd/yy")#)
Should be cfset NewDate = #CreateODBCDate(Now())#
Pound signs always go on the outside, any text not escaped (inside single
or double quotes) insides the pound signs are interpreted as
variables. And creating a date will automatically format the date
correctly, so no need for the dateformat command. And the date format for
ODBC dates aren't mm/dd/yy anyway, they are {d '-mm-dd'} Hope this
helps.
