Well, For two reasons
1) I really didn't want to incur the overhead of creating a new variable and running the query. I know it has to be much slower than simply dleting for the object. Not the best reason but... 2) Maintenenace issues. The columns I wish to delete are fairly static but the other columns may change depending on what the flex app needs. To use a QoQ I would need to use the columnlist to build the query parsing out the unneeded columns. Granted, neither reason is really a show stopper. I figured if there was a way to add a column, there should be a way to remove one so I thought I'd ask. Sometimes you just never know what you'll find out. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
