While on that subject, a lot of people insist that everythig should be done with SP's wherever possible. While this is indeed a good idea for long/complex queries that will see vastly improved performance and speed, but I think it is wrong to do it just for the sake of it, and to put basic select or other small queries etc into SP's. One of the primary reasons being that where contractors are involved, they will often have access to the CFML only and not the database server, and thus cannot access the stored proc, which can seriously slow down development time while they wait for the DBA to send them a copy of the SP, and then change it, send it back to the DBA, wait for him to apply it etc. Also it is in general a pain if you need to do quick fixes or updates on code in general. Usually it is easy to gain access to the code via FTP from wherever you are as this is generally an open port, but not to the DB server, as you will either need remote access to port 1433 or remote desktop access. neither of which may be obtained quickly or easily as they should/would be blocked from the outside world via a firewall.
