This problem existed prior to CFMX, so its not CFQUERYPARAM related. Snake

That is not a good reason. It does not let anyone else reading your code know what you are doing. I am not sure if this is a coldfusion problem or the fact that if you use <cfqueryparam> the db driver uses sp_prepexec on SQL servers which caches an execution plan for the query, and uses bind variables. This may cause SQL server to return the exact same results for the query even if the table structure changes. Again the right way to deal with this is to not use SELECT * ever. -----Original Message----- From: Snake [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 27, 2006 2:20 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: select * (star) caching How about if you need all the columns? -----Original Message----- From: Porter, Benjamin L. [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 27 September 2006 19:19 To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: select * (star) caching This is a known issue. For best practices you should never use select *. There is no good business or coding reason to do so, it should be transparent what data you are asking for. I'm not sure if flushing the template cache will correct this. It is simple enough to test in a dev environment. -----Original Message----- From: Brent Shaub [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 27, 2006 12:57 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: select * (star) caching Is this new to CF 7? I've got a handful of "select *" queries that when I modify the underlying table, the results do not include the new column(s). If this is a known issue, how can I refresh the cache for CF to pull the new fields? Since I inherited the app, listing all the columns and ideally reviewing which columns are needed (which is further time-consuming since many queries are in reused .cfcs) would be less than ideal. As part of new development rollouts, I'd just flush the cache after changing the database.
