Using a cftransaction for a single statement is not necessary.  If the
update or insert statement fails.... It fails.  There are no dependant
queries that rely on that information being correct.  I use cftransaction
for multiple inserts or related updates, etc... (although I typically use
stored procs for this) and for the single ones that I want to gracefully
catch, I use cftry/catch blocks.

Hello, is there ever a reason to use cftransaction around a single query? I 
currently use it around queries that are dependant on each other, but 
another coder is using cftransaction around single queries. Just wondering 
if this is correct or just a waste. thanks.
