Is this a bug? If so can it be fixed as it is annoying.
Two things to note here: first, if you have defined 'MatchPattern' in the 'arguments' list of the SQLMethod, you can pass it directly as a keyword argument: <!--#var "ChoosePart(MatchPattern=bits[0])"--> The reason that SQLMethods don't respect the entire namespace is mostly to prevent unintended things from happenning (by the SQL Method picking up and using a name from the namespace that you really didn't intend for it to use). SQLMethods _intentionally_ force you to be a little more explicit about what variables can be used in them - more so than DTML Methods/Documents, because if you have a variable collision in DTML, no real harm is done. At worst, the client sees a rendered document that doesn't make much sense. For SQLMethods the consequences of such a thing are are a bit worse, since you could end up inserting bad data into your database... Hope this helps!
