Nick,
As far as I know, ColdFusion queries do not have NULL values. NULLs come
over from the SQL server as empty string. What you should probably do is
make sure that awardPoints and pointsRedeemed are NEVER null when coming
back form the DB, that way, you won't have to worry about the SUM on the
ColdFusion end:
SELECT
(
ISNULL( awardPoints, 0 )
) AS awardPoints,
(
ISNULL( pointsRedeemed, 0 )
) AS pointsRedeemed,
FROM
[table]

Subject: IFNULL in QoQ
Can you use the IFNULL statement is QoQ:
i.e.
SELECT IFNULL( SUM( awardPoints - pointsRedeemed ) , 0) AS Points
FROM qryTmp.memberPoints.orderedMemberData
i get this errro:
Error Executing Database Query.
Query Of Queries syntax error.
Encountered "(. Incorrect Select Statement, Expecting a 'FROM', but
encountered '(' instead, A select statement should have a 'FROM'
construct.
TIA
