Question

I wonder if it is possible to put the output data in a query, for example i have a query:

<cfquery name="get_search_results" datasource="#dsn3#">SELECT * FROM SERVICE_GUARANTY_NEW WHERE SERIAL_NO = #get_service.PRO_SERIAL_NO#</cfquery>

and output:

<cfoutput query="get_service">#get_service.PRO_SERIAL_NO#</cfoutput>

as u can see i inserted output in a query, and it doesnt work, how do i put it in a right way? thx for help!

just in case the query of the get_service output:

<cfquery name="get_service" datasource="#dsn3#">
    SELECT * FROM SERVICE WHERE SERVICE_ID = #attributes.action_id#
</cfquery>

To answer your question: you have to use cfqueryPARAM for this. If Serial_NO datatype is Varchar it will look something like this:

<cfquery name = "get_search_results" dataSource = "#dsn3#">
    SELECT * 
    FROM SERVICE_GUARANTY_NEW
    WHERE SERIAL_NO = <cfqueryPARAM value = "#get_service.PRO_SERIAL_NO#"
    CFSQLType = 'CF_SQL_VARCHAR'> 
</cfquery>

But I think it’s better to merge the two sql queries “get_search_result” and “get_service” into one sql:

SELECT *
FROM SERVICE_GUARANTY_NEW
WHERE SERIAL_NO IN (
  SELECT PRO_SERIAL_NO 
  FROM SERVICE 
  WHERE SERVICE_ID = #attributes.action_id#
)

Using subquery is faster than problematical reusing result from one query in a new query.
