Cold Fusion Error

First of all I am not new at programming and db connections but I am really new at coldfusion...

It seems that I have having problems connection to a database that did not have any problems in the past. I am involved in a new project so I dont know a lot of history about this system, still learning it.


When trying to run the query:
<cfquery name="qGetLL" datasource=#application.dsn#>
select Latitude, Longitude, rLatitude, rLongitude from zip
where Zip = <cfqueryparam value="#zip#" cfsqltype="CF_SQL_CHAR">
</cfquery>
I get the following error:
General error: Table 'zipcodes.zip' doesn't exists.

The thing is, the db I think it is connecting to does exists. How do I know for sure what db it is hitting ?

Thanks for any help in advanced

I have changed the database that I know connects. I am now getting the following error:

Error Executing Database Query. [Macromedia][SequeLink JDBC Driver][ODBC Socket][Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Undefined function 'SQRT' in expression.
The error occurred on line 94.
SQRT() is not an Access function. Try SQR()

Sqr Function

Returns a Double specifying the square root of a number.

Syntax Sqr(number)

The required number argument is a Double or any valid numeric expression greater than or equal to zero.

Phil,

I am not sure, I am still waiting on the username and password from our client so that I can access that area. I was not sure how that was even setup so my first post indicated that I needed someeone to tell me where that connection was made. thanks for your help

Looks like your connection is probably fine. What this error is telling you is that you are attempting to select from a table named zip in a schema named zipcodes where that table name does not exist. Does the database associated with the DSN named in #application.dsn# actually have a table named zip?

The table "zip" does exists, for at least the database that I am looking at. That is why I am not sure if the db I am looking at is the actual one it is connecting to. How do I verify ?

What value is application.dsn set to in application.cfm, and what DSN does that correspond to under Data Sources in the ColdFusion administrator?
