Very nice, Duncan and Max. I have to admit I just had never noticed or heard about this NULL attribute of CFQUERYPARAM. It does indeed seem to be just the ticket. From doing some searching, I see that over time it's evolved (some glitches have been fixed) so it really seems the perfect solution

Yes, you're right, Duncan. But to Andrew, a very important point need to be made again: you're confusing query caching (caching the results of a SQL SELECT statement) with query plan caching (what Duncan is describing). CFQUERYPARAM affects query plan caching. That caching is entirely in the

Right, then as it seems, this all comes down to the point made some time ago: if you use SELECT * in a statement using CFQUERYPARAM, you can expect trouble if you add columns to the table. Among the places this is discussed is here: http://www.1pixelout.net/2004/06/16/cfqueryparam/ Hope that

When you say no flash or Ajax, are you saying you'd be open to DHTML? There have long been CFML custom tags enabling this sort of thing, but they do all rely on Javascript. Actually, Ajax is just a packaging of similar HTML/Javascript/CSS functionality. If you don't want Ajax, then it seems you

Most database (including SQLServer) presume that the database structure does not change between re-uses of parameterized queries. What a strange presumption for them to make! Sure, table-schema updates are rare compared to table-queries, but it's not like the DB doesn't *know* when the table

Oracle does behave like this - actually to the point where you can't add new tables and then run parametrised queries on them within the same session (I believe it is session related). Databases weren't designed to dynamically updated at runtime, and never have been - so you will end up hitting

I am a SELECT * user. (In my defence, I'm self-taught and didn't know any better until now) My question... is there a trick or tip or tool that you guys use to save typing in the name of every field that you're after? If you're populating a big long form, it's a real pain to type every field

Hi Tom, If you're doing SELECT * for a single record then don't worry about it - the overhead is minuscule. The real problems with SELECT * happen when you are running a query that will return multiple (hundreds/thousands of) records and the overhead can become enormous. And if you are doing
