Use two CFQUERYs: <cfquery name="firstDSN" datasource="DSN01"> select name from [user] </cfquery>
<cfquery name="secondDSN" datasource="DSN02"> <cfloop query="firstDSN"> insert into otheruser (name) values ('#firstDSN.name#') </cfloop> </cfquery> this insert (secondDSN) is essentially the same, but should be faster than: <cfloop query="firstDSN"> <cfquery name="secondDSN" datasource="DSN02"> insert into otheruser (name) values ('#firstDSN.name#') </cfquery> </cfloop> Eric Roberts wrote: > This is coming from a different datasource, so I need a way to use a cfquery > resultset in the insert.
