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'})

Now, I have read the docs and do not see the {d '2008-04-10'} format as being a valid date data type... But it works elsewhere in the application / on other sites - thus my current state of confusion.

Thanks in advance for any ideas you might have.



Please contact me if you should have any questions.

I had some similar probles with dates, and i solved it using a string format (yyyymmdd) to set date format, and two functions (toString and toDate) made by myself inf the necesary language (asp, php, jsp....)

This format is full valid for comparations (>, <, =) and orders in SQL. The only problem is to work in your application, but it may be solved with some functions
