Coldfusion insert Error why? INSERT INTO vol (user_id, id_number, firstname, lastname, date

Not sure if this is the reason, but no reason to choose LONG varchar...

CF_SQL_LONGVARCHAR

should be

CF_SQL_VARCHAR

>  INSERT INTO vol (user_id, id_number, firstname, lastname, date)

Could be that "date" is a reserved word in many db's. Try escaping it OR changing the column name altogether (better)


<cfqueryparam value="#DateFormat(NOW(), "dd/MM/YYYY")#" cfsqltype="cf_sql_date" />

Side note, since you're using the date type, you don't need DateFormat() to truncate the time.  That particular mask is probably going to insert the wrong date (sometimes) anyway. Better to use:

> why can't we use this
> <cfqueryparam value="#createodbcdate(NOW())#" cfsqltype="cf_sql_date" />
> that automatically handles the date according to the format database handles

So does now(). Since now() returns a date object, and the sql type already truncates the time, there's no need for the extra createodbcdate() call.  Nothing technically wrong with the syntax, it's just redundant.

Edit: Usually people use createodbcdate(NOW()) to truncate the time. But you really only need it when using cfsqltype=cf_sql_timestamp.  cf_sql_date only sends a date,  so it has the same affect as createODBCDate.

Thank you guys. I have remove the datefield and my data gointo the vol table. .. So the error was within  my date:  so i have change the columns name to datereg type datetime and i have adjust my code below.

So I would like to insert the DATE when the form has been submitted... either SQL, or ODBC date or should i create a field date... i'm not sure what is important for me that the datereg field type datetime has a date. and now it didn't work with that code any clue what i should fix in my code below...

<cfquery name="logs" datasource="#application.datasource#" username="#application.username#" password="#application.password#">
                  INSERT INTO vol (user_id, id_number, firstname, lastname, datereg)
                VALUES (
                <cfqueryparam value = "#form.user_id#" CFSQLType = "CF_SQL_INTEGER" />,
                <cfqueryparam value = "#form.id_number#" cfsqltype="CF_SQL_INTEGER" />,
                <cfqueryparam value = "#form.firstname#" CFSQLType = "CF_SQL_VARCHAR" /> ,
                <cfqueryparam value = "#form.lastname#" CFSQLType = "CF_SQL_VARCHAR" /> ,
                <!---<cfqueryparam value="#DateFormat(NOW(), "dd/MM/YYYY")#" cfsqltype="cf_sql_date" />--->
                <cfqueryparam value="#createodbcdate(NOW())#" cfsqltype="cf_sql_date" />

here is the error.

So the error was within  my date:
..
ODBC Error Code = S1C00 (Driver not capable)


Isn't that the same error as before? I suggested "date" might be causing the problem.  But if you're still getting the same error it suggests a different cause.

Try hard coding the values. Any change?

     INSERT INTO volunteers (user_id, id_number, firstname, lastname, datereg)
     VAUES (16687, 93232, 'Joe', 'Blow', '2012-03-26')

where do u want me to that in sql or in my code

Well the SQL Server is SQL Server 2000 at the hosting and i'm using Microsoft SQL Server Studio management 2005 to create the table volunteers..

(1 row(s) affected)
in SQL 2005.

so I have added to my coldfusion code:

 <cfquery name="logAnnualDues" datasource="#application.datasource#" username="#application.username#" password="#application.password#">
                     INSERT INTO volunteers (user_id, id_number, firstname, lastname, datereg)
     VAUES (16687, 93232, 'lello', 'Blow', '2012-03-26')                        
    </cfquery>

and here is the errors:


ODBC Error Code = 37000 (Syntax error or access violation)<P><P> [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Line 2: Incorrect syntax near 'VAUES'.<P><P>SQL = "INSERT INTO volunteers (user_id, id_number, firstname, lastname, datereg)

I fix the problem.

                VALUES (

                <cfqueryparam value = "#form.id_number#" cfsqltype="CF_SQL_INTEGER" />,
                <cfqueryparam value = "#form.firstname#" CFSQLType = "CF_SQL_VARCHAR" /> ,

                )                            

Thank all for your help.

> #DateFormat(NOW())#

A tip, don't use strings for dates. I don't know why cfqueryparam isn't working for you. But I never use ODBC anymore. Might have something to do with it.  (Though I'm curious why are you using ODBC instead of JDBC?)

If you can't use cfqueryparam, use what myselfrandhawa suggested, but without the cfqueryparam

ie     VALUES ( .... other values
              , #CreateODBCDate(NOW())#      <!--- notice NO quotes --->
        )
