Looks like I found a bug in coldfusion in regards to varing variables in a
cfc. Here is the example code to reproduce.
<cffunction name="method1">
<cfset var myQryTest="">
<cfquery name="myQryTest"
datasource="#application.mydsn#">
DELETE FROM table
WHERE tableid=-1
</cfquery>
<cfquery name="myQryTest"
datasource="#application.mydsn#">
select tableid from users where tableid=1
</cfquery>
</cffunction>
<cffunction name="method2">
<cfdump var="#myQryTest#">
</cffunction>
Then run this on a test page.
<cfobject name="application.mycomponent" component="mycomponent">
<cfinvoke component="#application.mycomponent #" method="method1">
<cfinvoke component="#application mycomponent #" method="method2">
If you've set everything up right, you'll see a dump of a query. In reality
you should be getting an exception.
I think what happens is when the first query runs, it deletes the variable,
since it doesn't return anything. When the second select query runs, it
recreates the variable as a regular variable which is local to the cfc, not
the function.
Is this a CF bug? I got around it by creating a local struct and then
putting those variables into that struct, but in general, this is not
intended behaviour, correct?
