Output variables stored in database

Question

Hi,

Does anyone know if it is possible to save variables into a
database such as the currentdate and then when you grab that data
and cfoutput it have the variable be populated. For example I
insert some text in the database and I want to add the current
date, I would insert the following into the db:

"Some text and today is #LSDateFormat(Now(),"dddd")#. Some
more text..."

Then I run a query to grab the above data from the database
and cfoutput to give the following result:

Some text and today is Friday. Some more text...

Is this possible? Is there a way to do it? Or do we have to
simply find and replace certain keywords and replace them with the
dynamic stuff at runtime?

Cheers,

Dave

For that specific example, if your db has the functionality,it is so much easier to use it than it is to try to get cf code towork. It will run faster too.
