I was wondering if you could have a cfif statement inside of a update query. See example below. Is there a better way of doing it? thanks.
<cfquery DATASOURCE="xxx" name="update">
UPDATE plant_gen_info
SET levels_complete = #URL.var0#
<cfif IsDefined("URLvar13">
,Q1_answer = #URL.var13#
</cfif>
WHERE ID = #session.member_id#
</cfquery>
TheScarecrow,
Yes, dynamic query statements can be assembled using <cfif>. I would suggest you switch your IsDefined() to a StructKeyExists() and strongly suggest you make good use of <cfqueryparam>:
<cfquery DATASOURCE="xxx" name="update">
UPDATE plant_gen_info
SET levels_complete = <cfqueryparam value="#URL.var0#" cfsqltype="****">
<cfif StructKeyExists(URL, "var13")>
,Q1_answer = <cfqueryparam value="#URL.var13#" cfsqltype="****">
</cfif>
WHERE ID = <cfqueryparam value="#session.member_id#" cfsqltype="****">
</cfquery>
I put a "****" placeholder for cfsqltype attributes because I'm not sure which would be appropriate for your variables. See the help docs for more on the cfqueryparam and cfsqltype.
