Yes, I've used <cfexit mode="loop"> and hidden (moveNext(), etc) methods. They provides iteration (increases myQuery.currentRow). But it fails when we want to use dotted notation (myQuery.myField). I'm looking for offical support... will go to the wish list. Thank you for your help. > Then don't use it. (It's an "extended" alternative, yes.

I meant "it will force us to use it as data transfer object in all layers when we use it once. If you design oquery as a helper manipulator object like QueryIterator, in this case, what will the reason to use it? Sort and filter? We have some weak arguments for QueryIterator, but do we have some arguments for oQuery if you design it as helper object like QueryIterator?" > nobody that I know of is trying to force you to use my object.
