Hi,
THought id see if anyone had had the same issue with mysql before i through the server out the window
I have a forum app which needs to work out on threads when the last post was to a particular thread
V easy no probs there then but Mysql or more likely cf (but i wanna blame mysql) is returning the aggregated field as binary :-) nice aye.
query is below
select max(messages.posted) as lastpost
from threads
join messages on threads.id=messages.threadidfk
where threads.id=12
Now it works fine querying mysql directly so yes it is something with cf or JDBC driver any ideas ?
