Anthony, I have tried to repro this issue, but I am unable to do so. It works fine at my end. Please provide the details mentioned below: 1. Database version 2. Database driver being used. 3. Settings summary

I have the same problem. I've pinned it down to the order by causing the error. The select left(field, 5) works as it should.

I can confirm this behavior. The query works in SQL Server Management Studio, but not in a ColdFusion script. CF11 update 8, SQL Server 2012, Windows Server 2012.

More concerning is how this broke in the first place. Is ColdFusion trying to parse the SQL?
