    Default MX7 Double Quote

    I just upgraded to MX7.

    CFQUERY using where x = "sam" used to work & now the double quotes are being
    treated as escape characters. I don't want to have to change all of the double
    quotes to single quotes in the SQL statements throughout my project.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Default Re: MX7 Double Quote

    Use cfqueryparam for security and you won't need the quotes anymore unless it
    is part of your data.

    WHERE COLName = <cfqueryparam value = "sam" cfsqltype = "varchar">

    See the docs for all the options incuding using lists!

    You may also be able to use PreserveSingleQuotes as copied from help file
    example:

    <cfquery name = "GetCenters" datasource = "cfsnippets">
    SELECT Name, Address1, Address2, City, Phone
    FROM Centers
    WHERE City IN (#PreserveSingleQuotes(List)#)
    </cfquery>

    Thanks for the suggestions. I'm looking for a setting probably for the driver
    that will allow the java engine and/or the database to handle double quotes in
    SQL statements. It worked in CF5 so there must be some way to do it in MX.
