Inserting multiple records from a QofQ?

Question

I'm doing (still!) an app for parents to sign up for
information from their child's school, and giving them the option
to choose more than one grade using checkboxes. I'm passing the
grades as a string, then parsing them into individual searchable
grades, and then querying the db to see if that email/school/grade
subscription already exists. If it doesn't exist, I want to add it
to the db. Using CFDUMP, I've verfied that I'm extracting the
correct records to add.
I've attached the query that selects the records to be added,
and then my current INSERT query (which chokes on "INSERT") -- I've
tried putting brackets around INSERT per the CFWACK, but that
didn't work either. The error is "Query of Queries syntax error;
Encountered INSERT".

I can see a couple things wrong with your code -
1) You shouldn't need to apply the following restrictions to
your subsToAdd query as you already apply them to your Ignatz
query:
(Email = '#Form.Email#') AND (LocationCode =
#Form.LocationCode#)
2) For your insert statement, you want to surround the entire
SQL statement with the <cfloop> block:
<cfquery name="saveSubs" dbtype="query">
<CFLOOP query="subsToAdd">
INSERT INTO ...
</CFLOOP>
</cfquery>
3) You're probably also recieving an error because you aren't
qualifying your text fields (like Email) with single quotes. A
better solution would be to use the <cfqueryparam> tags with
your query - plus it will make your SQL run faster as well!
INSERT INTO Subscriptions (Email,LocationCode,GradeID)
VALUES (<cfqueryparam cfsqltype="CF_SQL_VARCHAR"
value="#Email#" maxlength="50">,
<cfqueryparam cfsqltype="CF_SQL_VARCHAR"
value="#locationCode#" maxlength="30">,
<cfqueryparam cfsqltype="CF_SQL_INTEGER"
value="#gradeID#">)
(I took a guess as to the datatypes of your fields, you'll
have to adjust them accordingly).
