I bet there are a lot of us who would love a way to do this. I recently
posted a question about this, figuring that if there was a way, it would be
through wddx (the thread was "wddx --> SQL Server 7 ?"). I ended up doing
what you say here: parsing through in SQL. But I also ran some simple
tests, comparing the stored proc to passing 40 to 50 insert statements in a
single cfquery statement, and I couldn't believe it but there was little
difference. (I used "set nocount on" in both). I'm currently trying to
figure out how to speed it up, because it's taking 3 seconds! Taking the
data from the structure in CF memory to a string happens quickly, but SQL
goes slowly, and still has to perform multiple inserts.

ok, you have me intrigued. Are you talking about a PL/SQL procedure that
takes the entire array and then parses it? Won't you be looping through
the
array anyway?

Jon,
You can get away with this in some situations through some clever
gymnastics
in your sql.
What it will come down to is passing a string into a stored procedure that
you then do some string parsing and looping and use EXEC() (assuming your
using SQL server). Althouhg procedding in this manor does impose some
constraints: a lot of string manipulation in SQL is generally a bad idea,
limit to the length of the string that can be passed in, etc...... But, I
would try it out both ways and run some informal performance tests to
figure
out which way fits your specific situation.
