That would be true except when recordcount isn't populated, the query itself may not be populated and, depending on why, will error out. Since isQuery() will error out if the var is unset after CFQUERY, that is not very useful either. CFQUERY name="myQry" ... declare @tmp table (col1 int) -- step 1 insert into @tmp (col1) select sub.* from (select 1 as col1 where 1=2) sub -- step 2 select * from @tmp where 1=2 -- step 3 /CFQUERY CFIF isQuery(myQry) CFDUMP var="#myQry#" CFDUMP var="#myQry.recordCount#" CFDUMP var="#myQry.columnlist#" /CFIF This will (still) bomb using MS JDBC 2.0/3.0 drivers against SQL Azure or SQL Server 2008 (SQL2K8). Not so using MS SQL Server (which is actually a MM JDBC driver in CF) against SQL2K8.
