Say you want to search a database for all customers and return all fields.You would have something like this in .cfm
SELECT name, address, city, state, zip FROM CustomerTable WHERE state=#statevar# #statevar# #name#
#address#
#city#, #state# #zip#
It gets worse if you use .asp <%dim statevar statevar = request.querystring(state)%> <%Set DataConn = Server.CreateObject(ADODB.Connection) DataConn.Open DSN=CustomerDB Set DataCmd =Server.CreateObject(ADODB.Command) DataCmd.CommandText = SELECT name, address, city, state, zip FROMCustomerTable WHERE state = &statevar Set DataCmd.ActiveConnection = DataConn Set customers = DataConn Set customers = DataCmd.execute%> <%do While not customers.EOF response.write(& customers(name) &
& customers(address) &
& customers(city) &, & customers(state) & & customers(zip) &) customers.moveNext loop %>Webcat is a breeze compared to all this:-))Regards, **************************************************************** Micheal O Se www.elive.ie Internet Hosting Service micheal@elive.ie Database powered websites ****************************************************************
