I know that complex data types (structs, CFCs, queries, COM/JavaObjects,
etc...) are passed by reference, not by value. But I'm wondering how
that works when storing them in the session scope.
For example, let's say I have a query that returns a really large result
set, and after that query runs I store the query results as a variable
in the session scope.
<cfquery name="variables.qry">
select *
FROM bigTable
</cfquery>
<cfset session.myQry = variables.qry>
Would the above code just create a reference to the result set already
in memory, or would it actually create a copy of the results in the
session?
In a similar scenario, what would happen if I had a CFC object stored in
the session, then passed my query results to it to be stored in that
CFCs "variables" scope?
<cfquery name="variables.qry">
select *
FROM bigTable
</cfquery>
<cfset session.myCFC.blah(variables.qry)>
