There's also the issue of other people. I know which sequence to use - but the person to whom I give the code might not bother to read the pages of docs over which I laboured (*cough*). I can also allow other schema to access my tables via the SP without having to give them any access to the table at all - I just give them execute access to the SP (which uses a trigger, simplifying the whole thing for everyone). I'm working on a project right now wherein I wish I'd used triggers for all my inserts (and other SQL), since another schema needs access to my tables without them. A rewrite is in order.

Yes, but how do you retrieve the value of the just inserted id? I can't get the "select ... into..." syntax to work in a cfquery, perhaps you could post an example? If you don't need to get this value, then you can rewrite your query as: <cfquery ...> insert into foo (a,b,c,pk) values (A,B,C, mysequence.nextval) </cfquery> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:208798 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
