<cfqueryparam> does in fact prevent that code from running. <cfqueryparam> creates a prepared statement with parameters. It then compares what you've entered as a value with the datatype you've specified and, if successful, binds the parameters with what you've entered. So, if you entered:
select * from table where id = <cfqueryparam value="#url.id#" cfsqltype="CF_SQL_DECIMAL"> and then in your url entered: id=12;drop table yourtable It would through you an error. As well, if you had: select * from table where id = <cfqueryparam value="#url.id#" cfsqltype="CF_SQL_VARCHAR"> It would create the equivalent SQL statement of: select * from table where id = '12;drop table yourtable' ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Friday, April 12, 2002 11:00 am Subject: RE: Preventing SQL injection attacks...? > let's say you have a text field that is 100 characters long. you > can still > get a "drop table tablename" appended to the sql statement or > write an > entire sql statment.
