Re: date format fo mySql
Is your field in the db set up as a DATE or DATETIME?

Re: date format fo mySql
Where is the date you need to insert coming from as well? A form? and/or is it a literal string like 'Dec. 10, 2010'... or is the form field passing an actual date variable?

Re: date format fo mySql
Rick is right. Use cfqueryparam and your problems will go away: INSERT INTO xTable(xDate) VALUES (cfqueryparam value=Dec. 10, 2010 cfsqltype=cf_sql_date /); That's for a DATE column. If you are doing a DATETIME column, use cf_sql_timestamp instead.

Re: date format fo mySql
wierd, my first reply didn't go through... Rick is right. Use cfqueryparam and your problems will go away: INSERT INTO xTable(xDate) VALUES (cfqueryparam value=Dec. 10, 2010 cfsqltype=cf_sql_date /); That's for a DATE column. If you are doing a DATETIME column, use cf_sql_timestamp instead. You can also use Michael Grant's method by converting it first to an ODBCDATE/DATETIME formatted object Rick Root wrote: #1 - are you using cfqueryparam to do the insert? #2 - To help us fix the error, it would be helpful to see the full error text as well as the code that is generating it. ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:336449 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
