Data truncation: Data truncated for column 'date' at row 1

[chromis]

Hi,

I have a query which updates the projects table of my database, however when I try to run my query with blank values i get the following error:

Data truncation: Data truncated for column 'date' at row 1

I have done some researching and I believe the problem is to do with the data that is being sent by my cfqueryparam function.

Here is my create function:

As you can see i am just using the cf_sql_varchar cfsqltype, as I'm not sure which is best suited.

I have tryed running the following test query which works fine:

                    INSERT INTO
                    projects
                    (
                        id,
                        priority,
                        type,
                        title,
                        location,
                        description,
                        body,
                        image,
                        image_alt,
                        movie,
                        pdf_doc,
                        word_doc,                        
                        date,
                        time,
                        archive,
                        display
                    )
                    VALUES
                    (
                        '',
                        '',
                        '',                        
                        '',
                        '',
                        '',                        
                        '',
                        '',
                        '',
                        '',                        
                        '',       
                        '',                                           
                        '',
                        '',                        
                        '',
                        ''                                                            
                    )

The cfqueryparam function must be doing something and I don't know what.

Does anyone know what the problem is?

Thanks,

What's the format/data type of the date field?

[chromis]

What's the format/data type of the date field?

The date field in the db is date.

[acoder]

Then use CF_SQL_DATE for the cfsqltype.

[chromis]

Ok thanks that sorted the date error, but I'm getting a new error with my time argument, the cfqueryparam for that is <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_s ql_time" value="#argumen ts.time#" /> and the data type is time in the db.

Error:

The cause of this output exception was that: java.lang.NullP ointerException .

So the database is getting a null value? I've enabled null for the time field in the db, but still the same problem. Any ideas?

[acoder]

Check the docs for the cfqueryparam tag (link for CF8) and match the cfsqltype with the ones in your database.

[chromis]

Hmm, I've read through those, but still struggling, here are my mappings:

  `word_doc` varchar(128) NOT NULL default '',

                        <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_tinyint" value="#arguments.display#" />

Is there anything wrong in the above?

I'm getting this error now: Invalid data for CFSQLTYPE CF_SQL_TINYINT.

[acoder]

Where you have blank values and default ones and not strings, e.g. integers, date, time, etc., use NULL, i.e. null="yes".

[chromis]

Ah great that's working now, thanks again acoder!

[acoder]

No problem at all. You're welcome :)

[chromis]

Hi,

<cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_s ql_tinyint" value="#argumen ts.display#" />

Is producing the following error:

Invalid data for CFSQLTYPE CF_SQL_INTEGER.

It's moaning because I have removed the null="yes" setting in the cfqueryparam but unfortunately it enters NULL into the database when the setting is true, regardless of the contents of the variable. So having removed it I am left with this problem, how do I keep MySQL happy?

Thanks.

[acoder]

Are you passing a blank string? For non-string fields, set a default value instead, e.g. 0.

[chromis]

Yes I am already doing that which is strange.

        <cfargument name="archive" displayName="archive" type="string" hint="The project should be archived"
            required="false" default="0" />       
        <cfargument name="display" displayName="display" type="string" hint="The project should be shown"
            required="false" default="1" />

I've done some reading and come across a post which talks about using the Val function like so:

<cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_tinyint" value="#Val(arguments.display)#" />

This seems to keep MySQL happy as it ensures the value is an integer, although I was passing it an integer anyway...

It's fixed now at least, thanks again for your help.

[acoder]

Yes, that's correct. I forgot about Val. The defaults are strings, so using val should solve the problem.
