FWIW let CF do the formatting for you, store it the way the DB handles it. On Feb 19, 2008 5:29 PM, Will Tomlinson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > In MySQL 5, I'm storing a date in a date field.

MySQL and Dates
In MySQL 5, I'm storing a date in a date field. It stores it as 2008-19-2. But my client wants to let users filter records using this format: 02/19/2008 What's the best way to convert the format my form uses to something mySQL can read. I'll be looking for records between two dates, etc. Thanks, Will ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:299359 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
RE: MySQL and Dates
I don't know about MySQL, but you are asking for trouble if you do that in Oracle since blank date fields are interpreted as a real date. You should do this: newDate = form.dueDate if NOT isdate(newDate) newDate = "NULL" UPDATE JOBINFO SET TICKETSTATUS = '#FORM.TICKETSTATUS#', DUEDATE = #newDate#, JOBNUM = #FORM.JOBNUM#, PONUMBER = '#FORM.PONUMBER#' WHERE JOBID = #FORM.JOBID# Bryan Love ACP Internet Application Developer Telecommunication Systems Inc.
