That doesn't solve the problem though of the query remaing in CF space as
he loops through it to perform his mass CFMAIL operation.

I must say I don't think this is possible in the CF realm.  It's meant to
be a high level langauge so that developers don't have to think about such
things as memory, consequently they're forbidden from controlling memory.

When I once asked in #coldfusion on EfNet about actually deleting the data
stored in a variable I was told I need to take at least a beginner's
programming course in college.  Quick review of previous posts should
assure anybody that I have at -least- that much knowledge.

CF doesn't have a free() or delete, nor does it have malloc() or new or
anythign resembling them apparently.  I can't say this is a bad thing at
all in a programing langauge really.  All you can do is live with the
results and hope the engine makes good use of it's memory.

If you're using CF and you run out of memory: upgrade your RAM.  Period.
Don't count on fancy programming to help you out.

In reality though, if this query is needed why would you even want to
delete it before you're done with your template?
