When using funky "and" and "or" clauses in the where clause, it's a really
good idea to use parenthesis to control the flow. It won't muck up the
query, but you may not necessarily get the results you want...

Subject: AND & OR placement in SQL
Hi,
Bit confused on the placement of AND & OR operators in the same query.
<cfquery cachedwithin="#createtimespan(0,0,10,0)#" name="getads"
datasource="#DSN#"> SELECT left(subject,20) as newsubject, * FROM
advert_details WHERE town = '#form.towny#' OR (natpaid = Yes AND nationwide
= Yes)
<cfif isdefined('form.category')>
AND category = '#form.category#'
</cfif>
</cfquery>
Before form.category is defined, the query works as I want it to. But once
form.category is defined, will the addition of an AND operator muck up the
query?
Thanks
Will
