ColdFusion Parameterizing a Query

Question

I have a query that I run to populate a CFChart that I am trying to parametrize:

    SELECT *
             


        

Answer 1

I suggest you change your approach. Start with

StartDate = CreateDate(TheYearYouWant, TheMonthYouWant, 1);
EndDate = DateAdd("m", 1, StartDate);

and the date filtering of your query becomes:

where closed_date >= 
and closed_date < 

This will execute faster than using functions in your where clause.
