Posted this yesterday, but it didn't seem to go through... I became a convert to cfqueryparam, thanks to this list, about 2 months ago. Since then, I've wondered about this kind of statement (shortened here):
<cfquery> SELECT username FROM user WHERE lastname = <cfqueryparam type="varchar" value="#mylastname#"> <cfif len(myfirstname)> AND <cfqueryparam type="varchar" value="#myfirstname#"> </cfif> </cfquery> Does the presence of the <cfif> block inside the SQL negate the speed benefits I would get from using cfqueryparam? I'm kind of hoping not, but guessing yes. Thanks in advance for the advice, Ben Mueller ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Enterprise web applications, build robust, secure scalable apps today - Try it now ColdFusion Today ColdFusion 8 beta - Build next generation apps Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:291968 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
