<cfquery name = "GetDepartments" datasource = "cfdocexamples"> 
    SELECT Dept_ID FROM Departments 
    WHERE Dept_ID IN (#PreserveSingleQuotes(List)#) 
</cfquery> 
 
<!--- now, select the courses for that department based on the 
quotedValueList produced from our previous query ---> 
<cfquery name = "GetCourseList" datasource = "cfdocexamples"> 
    SELECT * 
    FROM CourseList 
    WHERE Dept_ID IN ('#GetDepartments.Dept_ID#')
