Question

Client table contains first name, last name, email, and department. I need to compare the username portion of the email address (that is, everything before @) to the session’s username to verify authenticity.

How may I structure my cfquery to compare the desire portion of the email address to the session variable casuser?

<cfquery name="getUsername" dsn="myDSN">    
select firstname, lastname, email, department, organization, rank
            from client
            where email= '#casuser#'
</cfquery>

The database is on SQL Server 2008 using CF8.

Thanks.

Pretty much you need to use like statement and compare anything including @ sign. So should be something similar to this:

select firstname, lastname, email, department, organization, rank             
from client             
where email like '#casuser#@%'
