Yes, I do, thank you for remembering. I had searched with SQL as the main part of the title and should've added Oracle. I looked over that page and it certainly stresses the importance of bind variables for performance. Unfortunately, it left me feeling a little duh and all I have left are questions. - I suspect I should use the PL/SQL example. Is that right? - In the PL/SQL example, it does all this as part of a procedure. Does it need to be that way? - So I do(?): declare x varchar(10) begin my SELECT stuff end; I have not been able to find a combination that works without error and all I wanna do is preset a variable and ues it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Upgrade to Adobe ColdFusion MX7 Experience Flex 2 & MX7 integration & create powerful cross-platform RIAs http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/flex2/?sdid=RVJQ Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:277312 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
