CFqueryparam - list="Yes" not working as intended
Hi again,
I have a cfqueryparam being used to submit a value to the oracle DB. It submits a letter, compares it to a field with comma delimited enters (ex. A,S,E,H,D), and if a positive match happens it returns results. It's not working though. Code is below:

((Database Field c.class_level = E,M,H,S,A))
<cfset session.level = 'H'>
c.class_level in (<cfqueryparam cfsqltype="CF_SQL_VARCHAR" value="#session.level#" list="Yes">)
<!---This returns no results. It SHOULD be returning 1 result because 'H' is among c.class_level--->
can you just do this . Try using in instead of equal
c.class_level in ('E','M','H','S','A')
c.class_level in ('E','M','H','S','A')
storing lists as db values is a bad practice.
the LIKE operator will work in this particular case, but you may have a lot of trouble dealing with your comma-delimited list later when you want to do other things.
normalize your db.

can't normalized the DB. I would love to. I'm working with a system that is in-place and not going anywhere.
but anyway you still need to use IN , otherwise it only looking for the combination and of course it will never find it
yeah, that happens sometimes...
brace yourself, then... and good luck!

Can't do it like this: c.class_level in ('E','M','H','S','A') because this is an exclusion. If session.level = "E" and E isn't in the DB field (db field = M,H) then no results are suppose to return. So I need to compare the session.level varible to the list in the DB field and see if there's a match.
we ll just do the comparison this way <cfif ListFindNoCase(session.lev
