what is the best better for this kind
`if (IsDefined("myquery.startDate") ) {`

are you checking for recordcount before this?

Back up slightly. Why would you not know what columns are in your query?

Now, I know there can be reasons for this, but what are your specific reasons?

And, again, [insert the usual spiel about how to asks question properly here].

Best for _what_? What actual problem are you trying to solve?

if you are checking if the query has rows (a recordcount that is not zero), then you can do `if ( myquery.recordcount ) { ... }`

Yeah I recommend do a recordcount check first. 

Also Share more of your code and we'll be able to understand the problem.
