As someone who used to always pounce on folks for using evaluate, I
believe I remember reading recently a blog entry from an Adobian that
points out that evaluate is not nearly as slow as it used to be.
Now when I recommend against Evaluate I do so on readability terms
rather than performance.
Good thing my names Adrian then! :O.

Why does this fail inside a cfoutput loop over a query:
cfset application.#appconfig.code_name# = '#appconfig.code_value#'
It generates this message:
A CFML variable name cannot end with a . character.
The variable application. ends with a . character. You must supply an
additional structure
try cfset application[appconfig.code_name] = appconfig.code_value /

This looks to me like appconfig.code_name is an empty string.

Why does this fail inside a cfoutput loop over a query:

It sounds like one of your code_name values is blank or null, resulting
in an invalid variable name.

Charlie has the idea. It's because you are referring to a variable contained
within an structure and doing dynamic dot notation has it's issues and will
not work in this case.

It is not an empty string. Also, the [] is an invalid constrict in

It has nothing to do with the query. To set a variable whose name isn't
known until runtime, you have three options:

So are you saying:
cfset application[appconfig.code_name] = '#appconfig.code_value#'
or even
cfset application.#appconfig.code_name# = '#appconfig.code_value#'
does not work? The second example with quotes around the set variable should
also work I believe.

Not in this case. The []'s will work.

well, if appconfig.code_name is an empty string, then
[appconfig.code_name] will be equivalent to [], which is an invalid
constrict in coldfusion.
If I were you, I'll really make sure appconfig.code_name is not an empty
string ;-)
Just try

Yes. It's just painful to the character of ones soul.
