Hi Angel,

Didn't we discuss this in another forum (i.e. the overall value of these
tags in CFMX; the question being have they grown up and are ready for
widespread use)?  I recall saying in one of those posts that these tags
blackbox your sql and return unhelpful error messages, making them too
much trouble to mess with (among other cited weaknesses).

My opinion, which I know some disagree with, remains that this is a tool
only suited for beginners who don't know sql yet.  More often than not
if you try to use it past that level you'll find that what you thought
was a time-saving feature just isn't, given the extra time you have to
take dealing with stuff like your current problem cropping up out of
nowhere, or gymnastics necessary to input a limited field set, copy vars
to the form scope etc. etc.  

If you write real sql you will be done with it forever, unless you
change your own app.
