Hi, I need to build up a complex dynamic query statement. I have built methods to add queryParam statements, and built up valid SQL.
If I do: <cfset sqlStatement = "SELECT DISTINCT tableName.ID FROM tableName LEFT OUTER JOIN secondTable ON tableName.ID=secondTable.fkID WHERE ( tableName.clientID = 'D35DAF11-DCB2-4341-B26C-0D31325CD51B' AND tableName.otherID IN (SELECT otherID FROM thirdTable WHERE (firstName LIKE <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_varchar" value="%bar%" /> OR lastName LIKE <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_varchar" value="%bar%" />)) )" /> And then do: <cfquery name="foo"> #sqlStatement# </cfquery> I get an error from the SQL Server driver that points to the first part of the client ID - "Incorrect syntax near 'D35DAF11'" and a "nextException" that says "Incorrect syntax near '<'." Yet if I paste the above statement directly into the cfquery tag, it runs perfectly. Can anyone suggest where I'm going wrong, please? I suppose it could be a single quotes problem of some sort. But certainly preserveSingleQuotes has no affect. And if I wrap the first varchar (the clientID) in a queryParam statement, it simply eliminates the first error and immediately shows the "Incorrect syntax near '<'." error. -- Thanks, Tom Tom McNeer MediumCool http://www.mediumcool.com 1735 Johnson Road NE Atlanta, GA 30306 404.589.0560 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:354006 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
