These are great tips! I will be more specific the next time I post. Regarding the ineffiencient query. What do you suggest as a better way? I would rather learn proper methods than continue to use improper ones.
Just send the query directly from the application - the way you're doing it, the function will have to assemble the query, execute it, fetch all the results and then return them to your application. Of course, if your query altered each row as it fetched them (e.g. to calculate a running total) then this would be a sensible approach.
PS - don't forget to CC: the list when replying - that's the convention around here.
