Jeff, myMask = 2^1 + 2 ^8 SELECT mycolumns FROM mytable WHERE BigIntColumn #myMask# = #myMask# This was exactly what I was doing - irrespective of the CAST to change data types - but it will only select records that have bit 1 AND Bit 8. What I need to do is to select records that

Are any of your columns numeric? I would think that CatID, UserID, and Price should be numeric columns, but your query treats them as strings. My guess would be that a price is getting submitted with non-numeric data. (dollar sign, commas, letters?) The line number in the error detail may not

Ah, you changed the question :) You originally said AND, now it is OR! It doesn't change the problem much. Step 1: Create your mask Step 2: Zero out the bits we don't care about with Step 3: If we are left with anything, we have records that contain a flag. WHERE myColumn myMask 0 enjoy!

As a CF developer for many years, I often feel as if I work twice as hard selling my services to a potential small-biz client, than the closest PHP developer. Not only am I selling myself, I also *have to* sell CF. From my potential client's perspective, they really don't care much on how

Why not just use something like: cfset parsed = listlast(theArray[i].description.xmlText, ) cfif Len(parsed) GT 1 cfset amount = Right(parsed, Len(parsed)-1 cfelse cfset amount = 0 /cfif Untested... be warned. The only reason I left the dollar sign was to make sure a result came

They should put out a request specifically for people who are switching to CF to contact them for use in their marketing materials as case studies. They might get for example that FigLeaf client Dave Watts mentioned. Good idea. They do have quite a few case studies already, but you can never

Well it's a bit hard for CF, because of the pricing model. CF is priced per Server, meanwhile all the other technologies you mention can be hosted for (relatively) free. .NET makes it up by selling more Windows Server licenses, and PHP and RoR are free. Microsoft has done a good job

*always* validate on the server. if you want to run some stuff on the client, that's fine... but especially if you're talking about data... don't let the integrity of your data rest on something you can't control (client side validation). easy enough to remove those non-numeric characters via cf

It seems to me, as a list, that your delimiter is a hyphen, not a dollar symbol trim(listlast(theXMLdata, '-')) or if you don't want the dollar symbol... replace(trim(listlast(theXMLdata, '-')), '$', '') or a regex to grab everything after the $ (if you can guarantee no other dollar symbols)
