RE: The query below will return a match without regard to the case
I'm using Access. Any ideas with that or would I need to use the solution you provided below with nested loops? There may be something for this in Access, but I don't know enough about Access to tell you. Are all password protected sites done with Cold Fusion non-case sensitive, or is a lot of special processing done when Access is the db? I suspect that most sites don't use case-sensitive passwords.

Re: The query below will return a match without regard to the case
I figured it out using the compare function after getting a valid username and password from the db. This will check a username and password for case sensitivity. CFIF (login.recordcount eq 0) or (compare(form.password, login.password) neq 0) or (compare(form.username, login.username) neq 0) ...bad password. try again. -- Chris Giminez Owner - Cyber Scriber Web Site Design 831-728-4469 ICQ# 2628000 I'm using Access.

How can I force a case sensative query? CFQUERY NAME="login" DATASOURCE="datasourse" SELECT Count(*) AS loggedin FROM admin_pass WHERE username = '#trim(FORM.username)#' AND password = '#trim(FORM.password)#' /CFQUERY I can tell you how this works in SQL Server; when you install SQL Server, it asks you what sort order to use. You can then pick case-sensitive or -insensitive. If you want to change later, you have to reinstall SQL Server and rebuild all your databases. The default is case-insensitive. So, if you had a default SQL Server install, you'd have to do a lot of work with string functions to make this happen. For example, within your SQL you could retrieve all the records that have a simple string match, then loop over each returned record, and within that loop have a nested loop that examines each string character-by-character. Alternatively, you could do that within CF. . -- 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.
