Just a little thing to add here is that I believe you should parametize all values in your query, whether user generated or constant values or whatever. This is not for security but performance. So:
SELECT fu FROM bar WHERE barId = <cfqueryparam cf_sql_type="cf_sql_integer" value="#id#" /> AND live = 1 Should be: SELECT fu FROM bar WHERE barId = <cfqueryparam cf_sql_type="cf_sql_integer" value="#id#" /> AND live = <cfqueryparam cf_sql_type="cf_sql_bit" value="1" /> The reason (and someone please correct me if I am wrong) is that prepared statements can perform better because the db engine caches their execution plan much in the same way as for stored procedures. By parametizing and supplying the type of each value, you help this process. Indeed I suspect that I have read somewhere that it will not cache at all if it finds values that are not parametized. This is my rough understanding of it; please somebody who knows more clarify or correct the point (I do know that db performance always goes by the rule: "it depends" though).
