CFQUERY Variable Information

During the last procedure, the retrieved data does not display, but the data is available to the current page. Each time you query a database with the CFQUERY tag, query variables store:

Query properties
The data itself

Query properties variables

Query properties variables can help you format the data for display as well as debug an application.

The following table describes the query properties.


Property	Description
RecordCount	The total number of records returned by the query.
ColumnList	Returns a comma-delimited list of the query columns.
CurrentRow	The current row of the query being processed by CFOUTPUT.

Referencing query properties syntax example

The code below displays the number of records returned from the EmpList query - a query performed earlier on the same page:

<CFOUTPUT>

    The query returned #EmpList.RecordCount# client addresses.<BR>

</CFOUTPUT>

Prefix the variable with its type - in this case - prefix the variable with the name of the query.
Reference the query variable within a CFOUTPUT block so that ColdFusion will output the query variable value to the page.
Surround the query variable reference with double quotes (") so that ColdFusion knows to replace the variable name with its current value.
