RE: [ACFUG Discuss] CFQuery Basics: HELP!
Maybe this fall. Busy season is ramping up. 3 days away from income would be a disaster, 1200$ is something I am scrambling to come up with to make the mortgage. This fall will be a different story. Wish I could swing the time and money as Charlie stated. Someday sure, Now? There is no way. Thanks for thinking about me for that though. I will pitch it to the CFO (wife) though and maybe we will find a way to bite for the next one. I will forward your note as well. Thanks for your continued support guys. You are great! Robert P.

Robert, the problem is as that you don't want to be doing that dump and abort inside the cfquery.

Re: [ACFUG Discuss] CFQuery Basics: HELP!
Not to one up Doug, but a good practice after his suggestion is also to put in a maxlength on cfqueryparam to the maxlength of the data columns you are referring to. If the maxlength for the SKU column is a varchar(40), then: SELECT Description1, Description2, Vend_Name FROM carbs.products WHERE sku = This is an added check on strings to prevent large strings inadvertantly. The maxlength is for strings and not for numbers.

RE: [ACFUG Discuss] CFQuery Basics: HELP!
thanks doug. I tired the products.name but still did not work. Im tired. Bed time. MY DAY IN 1.5 hrs u know!! I think u see it coming too Robert P. Reil Managing Director, Motorcyclecarbs.com, Inc. 4292 Country Garden Walk NW Kennesaw, Ga. 30152 Office 770-974-8851 Fax 770-974-8852 www.motorcyclecarbs.com <http://www.motorcyclecarbs.com/> _ From: Douglas Knudsen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 08, 2007 9:51 PM To: Carbs Sales&Service Subject: Re: [ACFUG Discuss] CFQuery Basics: HELP! hey, its 2 hours away to your Friday! Ok, first off, from the looks of it you are assuming you will always get one record from this SQL, with your data this maybe a fair assumption, but be careful of assumptions, they'll bite you someday in code. I'm living proof carrying many scars from the code dog. Now, a couple things with this line: 1) You should always scope your variables, a few rare cases where you may not want to, but this is definitely not one of them. So change the line to 2) # use, you do not need pounds inside tags and functions unless you are inside quotes, so change the above to 3) Are you always 100% sure your SQL will return at least one row? I'm guessing in this case it is not. So, need to wrap your line above in a check for this That said, I'd urge you to use CFOUTPUT and its QUERY attribute, then you can write code not worrying about 1 so much, depending on your situation of course. This would lead you to something like the below. With this, no need to use the cfset lines you have and this will work when the SQL has no records returned. Note also if the SQL returns more than one record, the cfoutput will loop over all of them for you. : #form.sku# #product.Desc1# #product.Vend_Name# #product.Description2# HTH!
