You're so right... Anybody happen to now offhand (I'm off to search after I send this message) what the date format is for DB2?
I'm just running this at the command line, so no need for any CF stuffs... But unfortuantely also can't take advantage of CF stuffs. -----Original Message----- From: Dawson, Michael [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, October 28, 2005 4:16 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: OT - Complex SQL You need single quotes around "each" of your values in the "IN" clause. <snip> AND table_1.table_id IN ('value1','value2','value3') </snip> The date formats may be wrong, too. Check the actual data in the database and/or use createODBCDateTime() and definitely use CFQUERYPARAM. It will make your job a bit eaiser. Either way, I would remove the dates from your WHERE claus, fix the IN clause, then run the query. See if you get any results with very limited filtering, first. Then, go from there and add more filtering as needed.
