I assume this could be some setting issue. When I used something like below, I got no result
where name = 'hello-world-new'
However, if I changed it to below, I got result (because indeed there is data)
where name like 'hello-world%'
Does anyone know where to check/change the setting?
Thanks!
Is there are way to detect what type of database currenlty is in use as project datasource?
Because I need to get some inner scripts information. And, in case of simple .EAP project, SQL-query would look like (because of Access db in use):
_repository.SQLQuery(string.Format(#"SELECT * FROM t_script WHERE Notes LIKE '*Script Name=""{0}""*';", scriptName));
But, in case of SQL server I need to execute (as you already guessed I bet) slighly different written query:
_repository.SQLQuery(string.Format(#"SELECT * FROM t_script WHERE Notes LIKE '%Script Name=""{0}""%';", scriptName));
So, is it possible?
UPD:
I found one option - looks like there are _repository.ConnectionString property which could be parsed
"SparxEaDatabase --- DBType=1;Connect=Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Integrated Security=SSPI;Persist Security Info=False;Initial Catalog=SparxEaDatabase;Data Source=SOURCENAME;LazyLoad=1;"
Is there are more?
I would just look into Repository.RepositoryType. This will return for Example: JET, MYSQL, or SQLSVR.
Is it possible to use a wildcard in a SQL LIKE statement within a ColdFusion cfscript query?
An example that doesn't work:
local.q = new Query();
local.q.setDatasource(variables.dsn);
local.q.addParam(name='lastname', value='%' & arguments.lastname, cfsqltype="cf_sql_varchar");
local.qString = 'SELECT name FROM users WHERE lastname LIKE :lastname';
local.q.setSQL(local.qString);
local.result = local.q.execute().getResult();
I also tried these, which didn't work:
local.qString = 'SELECT name FROM users WHERE lastname LIKE %:lastname';
local.qString = "SELECT name FROM users WHERE lastname LIKE '%:lastname'";
UPDATE:
I am using MS SQL Server 2008.
The query works fine within SQL Server Mgmt Studio... I think it has something to do with how to format the query within cfscript tags?
Yes, it is possible. You're setting it in the param, which is correct. I'm not sure why it's not working with you.
I did the following and it worked.
var qryArgsCol = {};
qryArgsCol.datasource = variables.datasource;
qryArgsCol.SQL = "
SELECT ID
FROM Users
WHERE LastName LIKE :searchStringParam
";
var qryGetID = new query(argumentCollection=qryArgsCol);
qryGetID.addParam(name="searchStringParam", value="%" & searchString, cfsqltype="cf_sql_varchar");
qryGetIDResult = qryGetID.execute().getResult();
There's a response here from Adam Cameron, which was apparently deleted by an overzealous mod.
Rather than repeat what he says, I've just copied and pasted (with emphasis added to the key parts):
Just to clarify that the syntax you tried in your first example does work. That is the correct approach here. To clarify / explain:
The <cfquery> version of the example you have would be along the lines of:
<cfqueryparam value="%foo">
So in the function version, the param would be ? or :paramName and the value of the param would continue to be "%foo".
The % is part of the param value, not the SQL string.
So given that "doesn't work" for you, it would help if you posted the error, or whatever it is that causes you to think it's not working (what your expectation is, and what the actual results are). Then we can deal with the actual cause of your problem, which is not what you think it is, I think.
Does the query work fine as a <cfquery>?
Depending on the dbms used, that single and double quotes may be interpreted when the sql statement is run. What dbms are you using? Your statement now doesn't select for the value in the variable, but for any user whose lastname is "lastname". It should be something like:
lastname like '%#lastname#'
Just remember that you ultimately need to see what CF gives the DB server. In this instance, you can try this mockup to get close and find the same error in SSMS by messing with the quotes/value in the param declaration:
declare #param1 varchar(max) = '%Eisenlohr';
SELECT name FROM users WHERE lastname LIKE #param1
I just ran into the same problem as the original poster where it "wasn't working" and I didn't get any results from the query of queries.
The problem for me is that the wildcard search is case-sensitive.
local.q = new Query();
local.q.setDatasource(variables.dsn);
local.q.addParam(name='lastname', value='%' & LCase(arguments.lastname), cfsqltype="cf_sql_varchar");
local.qString = 'SELECT name FROM users WHERE LOWER(lastname) LIKE :lastname';
local.q.setSQL(local.qString);
local.result = local.q.execute().getResult();
So what I did was made sure the incoming argument was lower case and made sure the comparing field in the SQL was lower case as well and it worked.
Use like this.
local.q = new Query();
local.q.setDatasource(variables.dsn);
local.q.addParam(name="lastname", cfsqltype="cf_sql_varchar",value='%ARGUMENTS.lastname' );
local.qString = 'SELECT name FROM users WHERE lastname LIKE :lastname';
local.q.setSQL(local.qString);
local.result = local.q.execute().getResult();
I would suggest using the CFQuery tag instead of attempting to run queries within CFScript. Unless you REALLY know what you are doing. I say this because the CFQuery tag has some built-in functionality that not only makes building queries easier for you but may also protect you from unforeseen attacks (the SQL injection type). For example, when using CFQuery it will automatically escape single-quotes for you so that inserting things like 'well isn't that a mess' will not blow up on you. You also have the benefit of being able to use the CFQueryParam tag to further battle against SQL injection attacks. While you may be able to use the CFQueryParam functionality within CFScript it is not as straight forward (at least not for me).
See this blog post from Ben Nadel talking about some of this.
So in CFQuery tags your query would look something like this:
<cfquery name="myQuery" datasource="#variables.dsn#">
SELECT name
FROM users
WHERE lastname LIKE <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_varchar" value="%:#arguments.lastname#" maxlength="256" />
</cfquery>
I'm currently trying to create an Endeca query using the Java API for a URLENEQuery. The current query is:
collection()/record[CONTACT_ID = "xxxxx" and SALES_OFFICE = "yyyy"]
I need it to be:
collection()/record[(CONTACT_ID = "xxxxx" or CONTACT_ID = "zzzzz") and
SALES_OFFICE = "yyyy"]
Currently this is being done with an ERecSearchList with CONTACT_ID and the string I'm trying to match in an ERecSearch object, but I'm having difficulty figuring out how to get the UrlENEQuery to generate the or in the correct fashion as I have above. Does anyone know how I can do this?
One of us is confused on multiple levels:
Let me try to explain why I am confused:
If Contact_ID and Sales_Office are different dimensions, where Contact_ID is a multi-or dimension, then you don't need to use EQL (the xpath like language) to do anything. Just select the appropriate dimension values and your navigation state will reflect the query you are trying to build with XPATH. IE CONTACT_IDs "ORed together" with SALES_OFFICE "ANDed".
If you do have to use EQL, then the only way to modify it (provided that you have to modify it from the returned results) is via string manipulation.
ERecSearchList gives you ability to use "Search Within" functionality which functions completely different from the EQL filtering, though you can achieve similar results by using tricks like searching only specified field (which would be separate from the generic search interface") I am still not sure what's the connection between ERecSearchList and the EQL expression above?
Having expressed my confusion, I think what you need to do is to use String manipulation to dynamically build the EQL expression and add it to the Query.
A code example of what you are doing would be extremely helpful as well.
Working through the summer of nHibernate tutorials have gotten to the section on queries. Seems there have been changes since that series was made. So I went to the online docs for nHB 3.0 but code such as:
IList cats = session.CreateCriteria(typeof(Cat))
.Add(Expression.Like("Name", "Fritz%"))
.Add(Expression.Between("Weight", minWeight, maxWeight))
.List();
Generates the error "The name 'Expression' does not exist in the current context"
Code like:
return session.CreateCriteria(typeof(DataTransfer.Customer))
.Add(new NHibernate.Criterion.LikeExpression("Firstname", firstname))
.Add(new NHibernate.Criterion.LikeExpression("Lastname", lastname))
.List<Customer>();
Works but it seems that it is missing a number of query methods like GtExpression.
Are the online docs up to date, and if so, why can't I use Expression...
If the online docs aren't up to date then where do I get a description of the Criterion interface?
Thanks
You forgot to add using NHibernate.Criterion;.
Anyway, the Expression class is deprecated. Use Restrictions instead.
Weird thing. I still use Expression.* static methods and these are still work. Are you sure you use the latest version of NH3.0? I use Alpha 2 version.
If you need to make it work urgently, let's try the QueryOver<> feature:
return session.QueryOver<DataTransfer.Customer>()
.WhereRestrictionOn(u => u.Name).IsLike("Fritz%")
.AndRestrictionOn(u => u.Weight).IsBetween(minWeight).And(maxWeight)
.List();
It works well for simple queries
