Hi Aarni,

just so you know I am using the CF built-in function,
createodbcdate

here is the info from livedocs.

CreateODBCDate
Description

Returns a date in ODBC date format.
Category

Date and time functions
Syntax

CreateODBCDate(date)

so I pass in 2008-01-23
and I get back

{d '2008-01-23'}

The weirdness for me is that it works elsewhere in the application, I am really stumped.

-Gavin.

Hi Everyone,

I have a question about dates, please.

I am using Coldfusion and Postgres
I have a function that takes the ate entered in a form and converts it
into an odbc date format.

So the string ends up being;
{d '2008-04-10'}

Strangely, the function is used throughout the application and causes
no issues but on one particular template.
And this same templates is replicated for other clients - that
seemingly have no issue .


The SQL is simply

Insert into table (datefield) values ({d '2008-04-10'})


Hi,

The above is not a valid value for a date field. What function do you use for
the conversion ?

#DateFormat(form.date, "YYYY-MM-DD")# ? Or perhaps a custom function /
conversion script ?

Which client (browser?) / platform produces the error ?

And just out of general interest, which cf-version and platform are you
using ? Pg version ?

I use pg 8.x's on CentOS and Fedora with CF 5 Pro Linux and CFMX7 Standard. I
also heard that CFMX7+ would install and run ok on Ubuntu.

Best regards,
