D.A. sorting and search issues. WA Search not working

3/02/2011 9:20 am | #1 sandy170299

I'm getting an error when I use the search feature after using the D.A. sort feature. This is my error:

[Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC Driver][SQLServer]Ambiguous column name 'applicationID'.

Because the query uses five different tables, two of which contain a field called applicationID, I specified the table in the code. This, however, is not working and I receive the ambiguous column name error. I'm attaching the page in a ZIP file. Thanks!

Actually, I take that back. The error is happening in the sort criteria, not the search criteria. Line 92: #PreserveSingleQuotes(WADA_Sort_1.FinalOrderClause)# . I've also coded this in to include which table it's from, dbo.tblApplicationScores.applicationID, but that's not making any difference.

Jason, I had already tried that. I included the table name for both the search and the sort criteria (I did the sort after I had already posted my code) and it's still not working. Still getting the same ambiguous column name error.

it could be that the previous query is stored in a session.

Close the browser completely to end the session between tests.

to troubleshoot, change:

<cfquery name="WADAdbotblApplicationScores" datasource="csf">
SELECT     TOP (100) PERCENT dbo.tblApplicationScores.applicationScoreID, dbo.tblApplicationScores.applicationID, dbo.tblApplicationScores.scorerID, 
                      dbo.tblApplicationScores.plScore, dbo.tblApplicationScores.siScore, dbo.tblApplicationScores.ciScore, dbo.tblApplicationScores.lorScore, 
                      dbo.tblApplicationScores.scorerNotes, dbo.tblApplicationScores.totalScore, dbo.tblApplicationScores.scoringGroupID, dbo.tblApplicationScores.scholarshipYear, 
                      dbo.tblScoringGroups.scoringGroup, dbo.tblApplications.applicantID, dbo.tblApplicants.first_name, dbo.tblApplicants.last_name, dbo.users.Fname AS scorerFname, 
                      dbo.users.Lname AS scorerLname

#PreserveSingleQuotes(WADbSearch1.whereClause)# 
#PreserveSingleQuotes(WADA_Sort_1.FinalOrderClause)# 
</cfquery>

to:

<cfoutput>
SELECT     TOP (100) PERCENT dbo.tblApplicationScores.applicationScoreID, dbo.tblApplicationScores.applicationID, dbo.tblApplicationScores.scorerID, 
                      dbo.tblApplicationScores.plScore, dbo.tblApplicationScores.siScore, dbo.tblApplicationScores.ciScore, dbo.tblApplicationScores.lorScore,

#PreserveSingleQuotes(WADbSearch1.whereClause)# 
#PreserveSingleQuotes(WADA_Sort_1.FinalOrderClause)# 
</cfoutput>

then add:
<cfabort>

just before the doctype tag

post back the entire query that is written the the screen and the latest copy of your page.

This is the output of my query:
