The Power of Arguments in Records.cfc

We have come a long way in our question to easily manage records and files. Taking advantage of the com.sebtools library, we have a single file that effectively provides a component for every table and methods for every basic action on that table. I would like to focus in a bit more on the API for these components now. Specifically, I would like to focus on how we can get the recordset we want - even for operators other than equality.

What we want is to be able to specify the exact recordset that we want - which columns, which rows, which pages - by passing in arguments. Ideally, we could do this just in our data definitions without writing any extra code.

Excellent writeup on named filters! For some reason, it had never occurred to me to create a named filter such as LastNameLike. I have all this time been resorting to creation of a filter array to pass into DataMgr. Thanks for breaking me out of my stupor.

I have really enjoyed this series of entries on Manager, Records, etc. They have been a great review even for someone who's been using your toolset for a long time. Keep writing!
