CF10 , MYSQL SQL_SELECT_LIMIT=DEFAULT - mysql

Question

I just set up CF10, win2008, IIS 7.5 with mysql 5.6. But we are getting this error:
Error Executing Database Query.
You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'OPTION SQL_SELECT_LIMIT=DEFAULT
This error is removed when I explicitly set "LIMIT" to the queries.
(Update from comments)
Here is an example:
<cfquery name="dds" datasource ="#Request.Datasource#">
SELECT *
FROM tblaccounts
LIMIT 100
</cfquery>
As far as my research shows, it's an incompatibility with the new version of mysql 5.6.

Answer 1

Borrowing some from the answers above with more detail:
We were having the same problem and it was fixed by updating the JDBC file. Since ColdFusion 10 only supports MySQL 5.0 and 5.1, you need to update the Connector as mentioned above.
To update the JDBC Connector on your Windows machine,
Obtain the .zip connector from the link provided above
Open the zip archive and locate the mysql-connector-java-5.1.23-bin.jar
Copy this .jar file to C:\ColdFusion10\cfusion\lib\
Open Services (Start > Control Panel [Optional] > Administrative Tools > Services)
Stop/Start the "ColdFusion 10 Application Server" service
To verify the new .jar is has been recognized by ColdFusion, login to your ColdFusion Administrator, click on "Settings Summary" under "Server Settings". Search for "mysql". You should see the .jar file listed under the "CF Server Java Class Path" section. There is no need to re-setup datasources. These changes should automatically apply.

Answer 2

From what I understand another option should be to update the JDBC driver to the latest MySQL JDBC Driver. You can find instructions on using the latest JDBC driver here: (though the instructions may be a bit old, it should still work pretty much the same way).
FYI ColdFusion 10 only supports MySQL 5.0 and 5.1.

Answer 3

Thanks much Clark - we just had the same issue with CF9
This actually applies to CF9 as well.
Step 3 is then: Copy this .jar file to C:\ColdFusion9\lib\
Step3a Rename the old driver mysql-connector-java-commercial-5.1.11-bin.jar.old
Otherwise drivers may conflict. (happened before)
After the update the bug seemed to be gone. :)

Answer 4

MySQL 5.6 is now supported in ColdFusion 10 update 11, details here: http://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/kb/coldfusion-10-update-11.html

Answer 5

MySQL deprecated SET OPTION a long time ago, see the docs, and it was removed in 5.6
You need to use SET without the OPTION statement,
SET SQL_SELECT_LIMIT = 100;
Will do what you want.
Be aware that this sets the default for a single connection. To ensure that your subsequent query uses the same connection wrap them in a <cftransaction>
<cftransaction>
<cfquery name="tmp" datasource ="#Request.Datasource#">
SET SQL_SELECT_LIMIT = 100;
</cfquery>
<cfquery name="dds" datasource ="#Request.Datasource#">
SELECT *
FROM tblaccounts;
</cfquery>
</cftransaction>
An alternative is to enable multiple queries for the datasource, but this is not recommended for security reasons.
