What would you suggest for this kind of thing: Select USERID from users where email = '#trim(arguments.email)#' and password = '#trim(arguments.password)#' Something like this? Select USERID from users where email = <cfqueryparam value="#trim(arguments.email)#" cfsqltype="CF_SQL_VARCHAR" maxlength="?"> and password = <cfqueryparam value="#trim(arguments.password)#" cfsqltype="CF_SQL_VARCHAR" maxlength="?"> I put Question marks to MAXLENGHT still thinking if I should specify it for more security (but guessing lenght of emails someone can be rejected) or can it be without MAXLENGHT?
