CFQUERYPARAM Question - what to do when query is complex?

Running Windows, CF 2016, SQL Server db 2008R2

Creating new queries that I need assistance on how to implement CFQUERYPARAM into the code.

Below is an example of the code without the CFQUERYPARAM (my calendar dates are a text field, not a date field in the SQL Server db):

SELECT date, day FROM calendar

WHERE (calendar.date >= '#todays_date#' and calendar.type = 'B')

Is the placement of the CFQUERYPARAM correct on the below? I haven't been able to find anything showing this type of SQL code.

SELECT date, day FROM calendar

WHERE <cfqueryparam value="calendar.date" cfsqltype="cf_sql_char"></cfqueryparam> =

(<cfqueryparam value="'#todays_date#'" cfsqltype="cf_sql_char"></cfqueryparam> AND

calendar.type = 'B')

I was able to find documented that you need not use CFQUERYPARAM around constants.

Verification would be helpful. Thanks.

Hi Libby,

also, given the comparison '>=', the cfsql type should be cf_sql_date or cf_sql_timestamp:

SELECT date, day
FROM calendar
WHERE calendar.date >= <cfqueryparam value="'#todays_date#'" cfsqltype="cf_sql_date">
AND calendar.type = 'B'

Thanks everyone for all of the replies.

Seems I need (at least with this calendar table) to figure out what I am querying for on each table. Unfortunately, this date field in SQL Server is smalldatetime. I've tried cfsqltype="cf_sql_date" and cfsqltype="cf_sql_datetime" and neither worked.

But thank you everyone for the information - they all are the correct answers!

You only need it around variables, not static values (and definitely NOT around the sql columns names). Also no need of a closing tag, so try this instead:

SELECT date, day FROM calendar

WHERE (calendar.date >= <cfqueryparam value="'#todays_date#'" cfsqltype="cf_sql_char">

and calendar.type = 'B')
