New attribute and object variable in <cfquery> for CFMX7

Ever wanted to output the actual SQL from a dynamic query you are debugging? With CFMX 7 you can do it!

There is a new attribute in the tag called “result” which specifies a name for the structure in which cfquery returns the result variables.

Then you can reference #result_name.sql# to output the actual SQL statement to the page.

Syntax

<cfquery name = "query_name">
    dataSource = "ds_name"  
    dbtype = "query"  
    username = "username"  
    password = "password"  
    maxRows = "number"  
    blockFactor = "blocksize"  
    timeout = "seconds"  
    cachedAfter = "date"  
    cachedWithin = "timespan"  
    Either of the following:  
    debug = "yes" or "no"  
    or:  
    debugresult = "result_name">

</cfquery>
