    Default Using <CFIF> on query results

    I'm using Coldfusion with SQL databases to develop a dynamic calendar. The
    issue I have is how to get it to know if a particular day is a Holiday. I have
    a Holidays table with each holiday date entered. I'm trying not to bog down
    the page with so many queries. What I want to avoid is having to run 31
    separate queries on each page (in addition to all the other queries) just to
    find the Holidays for that month (I also have to do this with another table to
    identify Down Days). Is there a way to run one SQL query and then use <CFIF>
    to search WITHIN those results? For example: SELECT holiday.day,
    holiday.month FROM holiday WHERE holiday.month = 'FEB' AND holiday.year =
    '2005' Let's say the query above will return 3 dates. I want to put a <CFIF>
    tag on each calendar date to look and see if that particular date was returned
    somewhere in the query results (instead of writing 31 queries and putting the
    specific date in the WHERE clause). Can <CFIF> work within query results? Is
    there any easier way that I'm missing? Thanks!

    Couldn't you use valueList to dump the returned holiday.day values into a list, then just test for listFind (holdayList, thisDay) neq 0
