couple of suggestions:
1) if something isn't working, explain what's not working about it :)
2) cfset threeMonthsAgo = dateAdd('m', -3, now()) / -- no need for
dateFormat() there. only format a date if you're displaying it.
3) i don't believe there's any benefit to using cfqueryparam in a
query of queries. it's not like there's the possibility of SQL
injection, nor do i think there'd be any inherent performance
benefits.

Query of Queries date comparison
Hi, Wondered if someone could advise on this problem I am having.

I have written the following... cfquery name=search dbtype=query SELECT * FROM event WHERE date #DateFormat(Now(),mm/dd/)# /cfquery However I get an error returned Query Of Queries syntax error. Encountered date. Incorrect conditional expression, Expected one of [like|null|between|in|comparison] condition, Does this mean I cannot use this greater than ( ) clause on a query of queries, I have searched for some documentation but couldnt find any.

Re: Query of Queries date comparison
You can try using data object instead of a string formatted as a date. I think the column in your query is of type string.

RE: Query of Queries date comparison
Date is possibly(probably) a reserved word? Even if it isn't, your test will fail when the year rolls over - you should test /mm/dd. And I think you might need apostrophes around today's formatted date? None of this is guaranteed, I am famous for being wrong. -Original Message- From: Mark Lewis [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, July 30, 2007 7:43 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Query of Queries date comparison Hi, Wondered if someone could advise on this problem I am having.

RE: Query of Queries date comparison
Mark, I think the problem is the date column. Date is a reserved word, I think, and must be wrapped in []. Also, I would use a query param as it takes care of the data type conversion. cfquery name=search dbtype=query SELECT * FROM event WHERE [date] cfqueryparam value=#DateFormat(Now(),mm/dd/)# cfsqltype=CF_SQL_TIMESTAMP / /cfquery ..

Gualtiero and Dave thanks for your help I have resolved the issue with both your tips. Thank you for your time again Mark Date is possibly(probably) a reserved word? Even if it isn't, your test will fail when the year rolls over - you should test /mm/dd. And I think you might need apostrophes around today's formatted date? None of this is guaranteed, I am famous for being wrong. ~| Get the answers you are looking for on the ColdFusion Labs Forum direct from active programmers and developers. http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/categories.cfm?forumid-72catid=648 Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:284795 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

Date Comparison
Guys,
I'm trying to evaluate a date against now() to try and see if the date is
more than 5 minutes old, I'm sure I've used this method before but for some
reason I'm struggling to get it working.
cfif LOCAL.qMyQuery.DateTime LT dateadd('m', -5, now())
Date is older than 5 minutes.
cfelse
Date is within the last 5 minutes.
/cfif
However this doesn't appear to work, it always displays the 'Date is within
the last 5 minutes.' Even when it's not J
Any ideas?
Thanks guys,
Rob

SELECT datediff(,'12/31/2006','1/1/2007') = 1 SQL Server is counting thresholds, whereas CF is counting whole units. I believe that is also the behavior in Access.

I have this application that has an element that is supposed to end on a
predefined date and time.
I set the end date and time in the Application.cfm, then have a template
that runs the code below.
Two questions:
1.) Is this the most efficient and straightforward way to do this.
2.) I have some logic problem ... the month comparison isn't working
right. If the application begins running in Feburary (for example), the
section that is supposed to be on is OK, but then on the 1st of the month,
it stops working. For example, if the code is supposed to end on 3/7,
everything works from 2/8 until 3/1, then it stops and won't start working
again until 3/8.
If you're wonding about the dateadd part and the -3, our servers are on
the
east coast, our time is west coast.
Here's the code:
!--- application end times are set on the application.cfm page ---
!--- param for auction over ---
cfparam name=request.AppStatus default=
!--- first we need to set the month parts we're dealing with ---
cfset TodayMonth=#DatePart('m', Now())#
cfset MonthEnd=#DatePart('m', #request.AuctionEnd#)#
!--- now we test to make sure we haven't reached the final month of the
auction ---
CFIF NOT TodayMonth lt MonthEnd
!--- if this is the final month, we need to set the day and hour parts
---
cfset TodayDate=#DatePart('d', Now())#
cfset TodayTime=#DateAdd('h', '-3', Now())#
cfset TodayTime=#DatePart('h', TodayTime)#
cfset DateEnd=#DatePart(d, #request.AppEnd#)#
cfset TimeEnd=#DatePart(h, #request.AppEndTime#)#
!--- if today's date is greater than or equal the end date, keep the
processing going ---
cfif TodayDate GTE DateEnd
!--- if the processing is going, check to see if the time has expired on
hours ---
cfif TodayTime GT TimeEnd
cfset request.AppStatus=Over

it stops working. For example, if the code is supposed to end on 3/7,
everything works from 2/8 until 3/1, then it stops and won't start working
again until 3/8.
If you're wonding about the dateadd part and the -3, our servers are on the

!--- first we need to set the month parts we're dealing with ---
cfset TodayMonth=#DatePart('m', Now())#

auction ---

Re: Date Comparison Issue
I have done...
cfset l_TurnOffDate = CreateDateTime(2002, 4, 16, 3, 0, 0)
cfif Now() GT l_TurnOffDate
past deadline code...
cfelse
before deadline code
/cfif
It works for me.
This is designed for a Pacific deadline as well, so I just made it 3am eastern
(timezone where my server is)

I have this application that has an element that is supposed to end on a
predefined date and time.
I set the end date and time in the Application.cfm, then have a template
that runs the code below.
Two questions:
1.) Is this the most efficient and straightforward way to do this.
2.) I have some logic problem ... the month comparison isn't working
right. If the application begins running in Feburary (for example), the
section that is supposed to be on is OK, but then on the 1st of the month,
it stops working. For example, if the code is supposed to end on 3/7,
everything works from 2/8 until 3/1, then it stops and won't start working

RE: Date Comparison Issue
Thanks for the tip, Ben. I've been testing this out and so far it works
like a charm.
Question: For the hour I'm using military time, in this case 15 for 3
p.m. eastern time. I assume if I put 3 the server will think I mean 3 a.m.

RE: Javascript Date Comparison
Create JS Date objects from the user input and then you can use the
greater-than operator.
function validateDates(f) {
var returnVal = true;
var objStartDate = new Date(f.startDate.value);
var objStopDate = new Date(f.stopDate.value);
if (objStartDate objStopDate) {
alert('You cannot stop before you start!);
returnVal = false;
}
return returnVal;
}
This assumes that the user-input dates are date strings, e.g. Aug 3, 1963.
Probably not too likely. If the user-input dates are of the form dd/mm/yy or
similar, you'll need to parse that into integers representing day, month, and
year number (and know that the JS month is 0-based, i.e. December = 11).
You may want to back up your JS validation with server-side (CF) validation as
well.

Does any one know of a good way to achieve this?

SQL Server Date comparison
Hello All - hope someone can help me with a simple question. When I try to do a query based on user date range input, using = and = criterion, it doesn't always recognize the "=" part. I'm thinking this has something to do with the fact that SQL Server stores date/time instead of date only. Does anyone know the correct syntax to use in CF to have it always recognize the "=" in a = comparison? Here's my code: SELECT * FROMtblDocumentMstr WHERE tblDocumentMstr.effectivedate = #CreateODBCDate(form.begindate)# AND tblDocumentMstr.effectivedate = #CreateODBCDate(form.enddate)# thanks! -- Archives: http://www.eGroups.com/list/cf-talk To Unsubscribe visit http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=listsbody=lists/cf_talk or send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with 'unsubscribe' in the body.
