Yes - you have to be using SQL Server. The only catch is you can have only ONE select statement, often at the end of the query. In other words you can only return one record set.
But you might want to hold of using it apparently. -----Original Message----- From: Rick Faircloth [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, October 07, 2002 12:14 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: FORTA: CFMX - I've never seen anything so unstable in my life (backup please) Is this made possible by simply placing SET NOCOUNT ON inside the <CFQUERY> then placing SET NOCOUNT OFF just before the </CFQUERY>?

We actually are talking with you right now - and I mean specifically YOU. :) - refer to Mark J's e-mail. I'll reiterate what our issue is with the JDBC Driver. Using SQL Server 7 there is a way to "trick" the database into doing several sql statements - this was suggested by Ben Forta in one of his books. So, for example, instead of doing: <cfquery> INSERT INTO blarg (a) VALUES ('a') </cfquery> <cfquery> SELECT * FROM blarg </cfquery> You can write: <cfquery> SET NOCOUNT ON INSERT INTO blarg (a) VALUES ('a') SELECT * FROM blarg SET NOCOUNT OFF </cfquery> and save a database connection by doing all the sql at once. We have lots of code that uses this technique. We can't be the only ones as Ben Forta suggested it, and a lot of people read/listen to Ben. Also, this technique allows for huge queries where you can mix cf and sql variables. Which make a re-write to a stored proc really, really hard. > Hmm, that's a very unfair criticism.

Hmm, that's a very unfair criticism. No products are error-free and CFMX was *extensively* tested for many months. The QA team accrued a vast pool of ColdFusion source code to test against and my team was developing heavy applications in CFMX and working with the product team on resolving issues. CFMX was probably tested more than any previous version of CF. However, you must bear in mind that CFMX is a complete rewrite on a new platform - that means there are bound to be *some* issues that will crop up. Some of these are a natural fall-out of the transition from C++ to Java and the use of different libraries (for example, the database access via JDBC). > We are having issues with the JDBC Drivers as well.

Please let either Vern or myself know if there are specific issues we can follow up on for you!
