Homer writes "Greetings,

I have been all over the web, this site, and others, trying to identify how one would query an SQL table where the column contains a specific GUID.

I am using Coldfusion to pass the statement to MS SQL 7.0 however I do not receive any result tho I know it exists. Here is an example of the code:

<cfquery name="get" datasource="XXXXX" username="XXXXXXXXXX" password="XXXXXXXX">
SELECT * FROM sqltable
WHERE messageID = '{2D564B6A-BD74-4587-A0BD-FFF7B4BC1C4A}'
</cfquery>

<cfoutput>#get.field#</cfoutput>

This does not return an error however it does not return a result either. The specified GUID definitely exists and the link to the table is active.

Thanks for any assistance you may be able to provide.

Homer Dokes"

Hi!

Lose the {}

SELECT * FROM sqltable
WHERE messageID = '2D564B6A-BD74-4587-A0BD-FFF7B4BC1C4A'

should work.
