I did some testing, and CF doesn't appear to treat update queries the same as select queries. Neither cfdump nor getMetaData work with an update query, in fact CF doesn't even recognize the query name as a valid variable. Here's what I tried: <cfquery name="updateBID" datasource="budgets"> update budgetids set CC = '400' where budgetid like 'B007%' </cfquery> <cfdump var="#updateBID#"> <cfset qmeta = getMetaData(updateBID)> <cfdump var="#qmeta#"> The above returns this error: "Variable UPDATEBID is undefined." ------------------------- [INFO] -- Access Manager: This transmission may contain information that is privileged, confidential and/or exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
