Saying that, if you're building your systems to work on your hardware, I'd expect you to know the oddities of the RDMS If you're using MS SQL Server, then you'd know all about it's escapes and the TSQL limitations (as well as the accelerators), if you're using Oracle, then you should know those If you want true 100% compaitibility, then sure, use CFQueryParam, but if you want to do 50 small inserts in a row, sending those requests as separate CFQuery tags is pretty much insane - building one big TSQL statement with one hit to the database server is a much better solution Philip Arnold Technical Director Certified ColdFusion Developer ASP Multimedia Limited Switchboard: +44 (0)20 8680 8099 Fax: +44 (0)20 8686 7911 www.aspmedia.co.uk www.aspevents.net An ISO9001 registered company. ********************************************************************** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
