Re: [cfaussie] Re: Odd date behaviour - CF9/SQLServer2005
Sean, I'm not sure characterising it as guilty is very fair. This generator has worked just fine for me without any problems in about a hundred applications. This is the first time it's given me any issues. It's been so reliable I didnt suspect it might be anything to do with this issue for a very long time. I'm sure you'd be annoyed if i posted that something you've written is guilty before I've even asked you about the issue. Perhaps it might be a bug you're aware of, perhaps you might have a reason it's the way it is that's not compatible with what i want to use it for. Or any of a number of reasons. That's why i think its only fair to talk to the author first before making characterisations about his code.

Re: [cfaussie] Re: Odd date behaviour - CF9/SQLServer2005
Yes quite so, Sean. I'm just saying that it's worked a treat for me for a long time, and I didn't want there to be any sense of criticism of this code generator, or the two people who wrote it. When I look at the code behind the generator, I see that there's logic in the routine that writes getters and setters for date fields so that sometimes it writes the conversion/dateformatting bit and sometimes it doesn't. I guess that's where this issue arose and didnt in previous uses of the generator. Whether the issue is a bug or my use of the generator remains to be seen. That's all i mean by 'lets not label it as guilty just yet'.

Re: [cfaussie] Re: Odd date behaviour - CF9/SQLServer2005
IMO, Set Langauge seems a bit... obtuse? SET LANGUAGE DMY seems more appropriate, especially if you are giong to enter it into every sproc. cheers, Mike Kear afpwebwo...@gmail.com 08/06/2010 2:27 pm Thanks everyone for your help with this. I dont have it solved yet but i'm on the right track now I think. I dont have this problem with any of the code I've written from scratch, but in this case I'm inheriting a lot of code written in CF5 years ago, and moved to a new server and database server. I have determined by manually altering the values in the date fields that if the dates are stored in -mm-dd format in the database, all the legacy code works as expected, so all I have to do is make sure any insert and update statements force the dates always to be inserted the right way around. It seems that if i add a Set language = 'british' to my insert and update queries, that should make sure of that. That's my theory and I'm testing it now. Once this episode is all done, I'll write more about how i manage Australian format dates when i write my own code, because I've had that under control for a long time. I only see this problem because of all the legacy code I've inherited. @Gavin, no need for the meaculpa. I had travelled along the locale road in the documentation for SQLServer and had found SET LANGUAGE in my travels. So you led me to this path anyway.

Re: [cfaussie] Re: Odd date behaviour - CF9/SQLServer2005
Believe it or not, I'm still worrying away at this date issue.I dont
understand ColdFusion's insistence that we have to use American dates.
(This is CF9 Enterprise by the way)
I create a date object, using the following:
createdate(2010,10,06) which is supposed to be year, month, day in
that order.Then when i output the date in the next line it shows that
date as 06/Oct/2010
It doesn't seem to make any difference whether i set a locale or not.
It's nothing to do with dateformat, the problem here is that I'm creating a
date using year-month-day and it's understanding it as year-day-month.
HUH??
Here is the actual code:
cfset testdate = createdate(2010,10,06) /
cfoutput
ptest date is #testdate# : #dateformat(testdate, dd/mmm/)# /p
/cfoutput
The result i get is this:
test date is {ts '2010-10-06 00:00:00'} : 06/Oct/2010
Can someone else please run this code on their CF9 and see if they get the
same result? That way i can know if this is being caused by something in
the environment here.

Re: [cfaussie] Re: Odd date behaviour - CF9/SQLServer2005
His problem was that when he takes that date and
inserts it into SQL it goes in as 2010-06-10, but if the month was past
the 12th then it goes in incorrectly, i.e. if he does 2010-12-30 he
gets December 30 (correct), if he goes 2010-04-07 he gets July 4
(wrong).
Personally, I still reckon it's SQL Server doing something odd. Can you
try another SQL login/username and see what happens then? or do you
only have one login?

Re: [cfaussie] Re: Odd date behaviour - CF9/SQLServer2005
Well i had to suck that back again and wished i could have completely
obliterated my previous email. I had a mistake in the code i posted on my
example earlier.But i have just found the exact scenario happening.
Inside my CFCs, i think American dates are always assumed. I am setting a
date in my bean. Even if i specifically set it using the code i quoted in
my last email ( i.e. PosBean.setTransDate( createdate(2010,06,10) )
for 10th June) if i immediately output the date I get a different result
to what i get if i have it in a regular .cfm file.
cfdump var=#lsdateformat(posbean.getTransDate(), 'dd/mmm/')# /
cfdump var=#dateformat(posbean.getTransDate(), 'dd/mmm/')# /
This code in a .cfm file outputs two showing 10 June. If i output from a
.cfc it shows the first as 10 June, and the second as 6 October.
So unless i'm mistaken, I get a different result in a .cfm page than i get
if i output from a cfc. The trouble is, it's the .cfc that is causing the
problem because its the cfc that creates the insert statement to the
database.
This is proving to be a particularly elusive problem. But since we use
dates to select records for a whole host of reports, it's essential that i
sort it out.

So unless i'm mistaken, I get a different result in a .cfm page than i get
if i output from a cfc. The trouble is, it's the .cfc that is causing the
problem because its the cfc that creates the insert statement to the
database.
This is proving to be a particularly elusive problem. But since we use
dates to select records for a whole host of reports, it's essential that i
sort it out.

Subject: Re: [cfaussie] Re: Odd date behaviour - CF9/SQLServer2005
Believe it or not, I'm still worrying away at this date issue.I dont
understand ColdFusion's insistence that we have to use American dates.
(This is CF9 Enterprise by the way)
I create a date object, using the following:
createdate(2010,10,06) which is supposed to be year, month, day in
that order.Then when i output the date in the next line it shows that
date as 06/Oct/2010
It doesn't seem to make any difference whether i set a locale or not.
It's nothing to do with dateformat, the problem here is that I'm creating a
date using year-month-day and it's understanding it as year-day-month.
HUH??
Here is the actual code:
cfset testdate = createdate(2010,10,06) /
cfoutput
ptest date is #testdate# : #dateformat(testdate, dd/mmm/)# /p
/cfoutput
The result i get is this:
test date is {ts '2010-10-06 00:00:00'} : 06/Oct/2010
Can someone else please run this code on their CF9 and see if they get the
same result? That way i can know if this is being caused by something in
the environment here.

Re: [cfaussie] Re: Odd date behaviour - CF9/SQLServer2005
Is the code in the CFC doing anything obviously wrong

As a best guess - I would be looking at the code used to insert /
update date columns in the database.
As I said previously in this thread, we dateformat(thedate, "-mm-
dd") in all hand written SQL that inserts/updates to ensure it is
persisted correctly.
it was the ONLY way e could find to ensure valid dates everytime - and
we spent a substantial amunt of time on trying to work it out, prior
to going down that path.
There may well be an "easier" option - and we ust donlt know about
it... but at least we can (now) guarantee that all dates are correct
in our database.

Re: [cfaussie] Re: Odd date behaviour - CF9/SQLServer2005
Mike, This generated code looks like it is causing you problems. As the bean converts the date to a string for storage, when it retrieves it back CF does a String Date conversion which is something i've always seen problems with. A quick hack would be to alter the cfreturn from cfreturn variables.instance.TransDate / to something like cfreturn CreateDate(ListLast(variables.instance.TransDate, /), ListGetAt(variables.instance.TransDate, 2, /), ListFirst(variables.instance.TransDate, /)) To ensure there is no ambiguity. If that works ok, then you could look for a neater solution.

RE: [cfaussie] Re: Odd date behaviour - CF9/SQLServer2005
Somewhere on that server setting the CF locale properly will fix the problem. If its an existing legacy app as you mentioned, something in the app might be playing with the locale. At least its your code and not SQL so you can fix it.

Try this - http://blog.sqlauthority.com/2007/08/30/sql-server-2005-find-database-collation-using-t-sql-and-ssms/ - it has instructions for getting the collation value. What is it?

We were using MS-SQL Server 2005 I don't remember the EXACT sytntax; but we ended up using SET LOCALE = "US" In all of our stored procs and handwritten (CFML-based) SQL) to get around this issue. Apparently there is a server wide setting for it - but we never found where it was - prior to me leaving... and thus ALWAYS ensured that we manually set the locale in every SQL we wrote. Here at my current job all Dates are preformatted; #dateformat(date, "-MM-DD")# This is an OSI standard for date handling that all databases follow. Also a note for young rockers... don't leave the mask off your dateformat commands it defaults to mm-dd- - we had this in a few places and ended up with dates being stored inaccurately where the month was less than 12. We had to go through the tables and order by date then by PKey and hope there was a great enough difference between the timestamps and the PK's to identify the block of dates that needed to have the MM and DD swapped. - took us over a week to ensure that we correct / clean data - it was a major pain in the preverbial!

Re: [cfaussie] Re: Odd date behaviour - CF9/SQLServer2005
In management studio it's security logins [right click for properties] and there's a default language setting for that login. I guess if you have some tables that work and this one that doesn't compare the collation between the two and these login settings and see if they differ?

Re: [cfaussie] Re: Odd date behaviour - CF9/SQLServer2005
Hi, pretty sure that collation refers to sort order. Language refers to date format however, but I could not find a server wide setting to change it. SELECT @@LANGUAGE AS 'Language Name' returns us_english in my SQL 2005 server. If the language was British it would default to dmy select * from master.dbo.syslanguages to check out the dateformats available. I gave up on CF and SQL working well with European\Aussie dates long ago. I like using SET DATEFORMAT DMY in all of my procedures, and within CF DateFormat( x, dd-MMM-) but I agree that we should not have to.

Re: [cfaussie] Re: Odd date behaviour - CF9/SQLServer2005
Thanks everyone for your help with this. I dont have it solved yet but i'm on the right track now I think. I dont have this problem with any of the code I've written from scratch, but in this case I'm inheriting a lot of code written in CF5 years ago, and moved to a new server and database server. I have determined by manually altering the values in the date fields that if the dates are stored in -mm-dd format in the database, all the legacy code works as expected, so all I have to do is make sure any insert and update statements force the dates always to be inserted the right way around. It seems that if i add a Set language = 'british' to my insert and update queries, that should make sure of that. That's my theory and I'm testing it now. Once this episode is all done, I'll write more about how i manage Australian format dates when i write my own code, because I've had that under control for a long time. I only see this problem because of all the legacy code I've inherited. @Gavin, no need for the meaculpa. I had travelled along the locale road in the documentation for SQLServer and had found SET LANGUAGE in my travels. So you led me to this path anyway.
