funny SQL error - running Postgres
after an insert... the inserted record can not be found... it's there, I can see it but this query returns with zero records found. The Details: First: INSERT INTO DocsList (DocsList_ID,filename) VALUES (746,'H:\UpLoadImages\CmosPic.jpg') then sometime later we Check4Duplicate with: SELECT * FROM DocsList WHERE FileName = 'H:\UpLoadImages\CmosPic.jpg' This Retuns ZERO Records found. but I can see the record plain as day in the database and in reports etc... when I do it with simpler things like 'CmosPic.jpg' there are no problems ??? any clues will be very appreciated!

I'm no Postgres expert - maybe Jochem will weigh in - but my guess is that the backslashes are metacharacters. You may have to escape them in some way.

Re: funny SQL error - running Postgres
Yep '\ is reserved in Postgres, and CF doesn't escape it like it auto-escapes apostrophe. I think \\ is the escape for it, so turning 'H:\UpLoadImages\CmosPic.jpg' into 'H:\\UpLoadImages\\CmosPic.jpg' may work. Also, cfqueryparam may clear it up completely. Someone here is bound to know more than me. -- For Tabs, Trees, and more, use the jComponents: http://clearsoftware.net/client/jComponents.cfm ~| Special thanks to the CF Community Suite Gold Sponsor - CFHosting.net http://www.cfhosting.net Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:184932 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
Re: funny SQL error - running Postgres
YES ! Thank you... was using it for the INSERT but not for the SELECT... rumor has it that it should be used for EVERYTHING... but alas I find it hard to buckle down and upgrade all the queries. Thanks Pete, Very Much Appreciated!
