especially if you set it
to EXCLUSIVE, this will essentially make your application a ONE THREADED
application. since
application.cfm is a "RUN ON EVERY PAGE REQUEST" file, this may cause
unwanted results.
just a caveat.

Are you saying I should put a <cflock around all my SESSION.variable that
I'm defining with <cfset?
If so, whats the default <cflock?
Something like this (in the Application.cfm). This assumes that you're
using the session scope on CFMX - if you're using CF 5 or below you should
lock the accesses to the session scope to prevent server
instability:
<cfif NOT IsDefined("Session.Init")>
<cfquery name="myQuery"...>
Your query
</cfquery>
<!--- Do whatever you have to do with your variables You might only set the
results of the query into the session scope like this: ---> <cfset
Session.myQuery = myQuery>
<!--- Now set your marker variable - once this is done this section of code
won't run on the next request for this user ---> <cfset Session.init = true>
</cfif>
There are actually many other ways to do this. One that you might look into
if you're only caching the query (and using it as it's returned) is to cache
the query using the CachedWithin and CachedAfter attributes of CFQuery.
Once you set these if the SAME EXACT query is run again before the refresh
period CF will pull the information from the cache and not bother hitting
the database.
This makes for VERY fast access of the cached query and a very simple page
(no marker variables or persistent scopes needed). There are limitations -
you read the docs on this, but it may be the way to go.

HI,
I need to load my database fields into session and cookie variables for my
application. The catch is I only need <cfquery the database once upon
initial log in via Windows NT authentication. I don't want the datbase
queried if a "refresh" is performed. Where or how can I do this. Sould the
<cfquery be in my application.cfm off the main root of the website?
