Re: very basic query error???
No, there shouldn't he any problems storing a comma delimited list-- it's just bad normalization since a list isn't an atomic value. If you are searching for "1" make sure you account for the following lists: 1,2,3 3,2,1 2,1,3 "%,1,%" is only work for one of those. ~Brad > would a comma delimited list in a coldfusion query object cause this > error? and if so how can i get around it > ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:307900 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
Re: very basic query error???
josh managed to find the solution in this post: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/thread.cfm/threadid:56796 it was down to some cells in that column being null when using the like clause - i had to include where T_Site is not null and now it is working fine > >You aren't by chance storing a comma-delimited list in a single > column a > >database are you? :) > > hi brad, well not in the database but this particular column in the > coldfusion query at this point could have comma delimited lists. > > this query is something i have created out of various other queries > and formats and then i am just about to use the query2excel function > but am trying to run some filters on it first to get rid of some of > the data > > would a comma delimited list in a coldfusion query object cause this > error? and if so how can i get around it > > thanks > > > >~Brad > > > >I don't think you can have them..

Re: very basic query error???
i have actually used this in other queries and it does work fine and pulls out the data as required, its just that in this one i am having problems i have managed now to get rid of the error above, its becuase it was trying to change the single quotes to double quotes. so i used the preservesinglequotes function and it gets rid of that problem i am still getting a problem regarding a null pointer though and cannot work out what it is referring to thanks >I don't think you can have them..

>You aren't by chance storing a comma-delimited list in a single column a >database are you? :) hi brad, well not in the database but this particular column in the coldfusion query at this point could have comma delimited lists. this query is something i have created out of various other queries and formats and then i am just about to use the query2excel function but am trying to run some filters on it first to get rid of some of the data would a comma delimited list in a coldfusion query object cause this error? and if so how can i get around it thanks >~Brad > >I don't think you can have them..
