Does Name exist as a column in your table, or is it a ColdFusion variable?
I know very little about how ColdFusion works, but it does parse the query, and alter it, before it gets sent to ODBC. Just looks like it's using ucase(Name) as a coldfusion function, then replacing it in the query.
Just something to look into. You would probably have much better luck with a ColdFusion list

Your sample query is not valid SQL. What tool/language are you using to run this query? There must be something interpreting what you entered and mis-representing your query to the MySQL server. Without that piece of the puzzle I am completely in the dark.
It would also help to know what version MySQL server you are using and if you are connecting to your MySQL server through any kind of library (connector/J, ODBC, etc.) which one and what version is it?

I am kinda new to SQL, and am having a problem trying to get somethingdone.
I'm trying to search for usernames in one of my tables. The name is stored as firstname lastname.
I wrote my query as select Cust_ID, Cust_Name from mailings where ucase(Name) = ucase(Cust_Name)
When it runs, I get a error: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'Grosz = Cust_Name' at line 3
It seems that its only searching for the name after the space between the first and last name.
How can I correct this in the query?
