No benefit really. Not in this instance.

One of the things I am trying to understand is when I should be using them. For example, on my clients homepage I wish to pull 2 random product records... <cfquery name="getRandomProducts" datasource="#Request.App.dsn#" password="#Request.App.DBpassword#" username="#Request.App.DBusername#"> SELECT TOP 2 products.product_id, products.product_code, products.product_price, products.product_price_sale, products_description.product_title FROM products INNER JOIN products_description ON products.product_id = products_description.product_id WHERE products.product_status = 1 AND products.product_display = 1 ORDER BY newid() </cfquery> Is there any advantage having this type of query in a SP over calling a simple CFC ?? Also, if anyone has any good references for me to check out... mike ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:233849 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
