Day 7. Changing the Contents of a Database with ColdFusion
In Day 6, "Creating Your First Web Application," you built your first ColdFusion templates to create a two-page drill-down application. Your templates used basic queries to draw information from a client's database and present the data to users as an HTML page. In today's lesson we'll look at the other side of ColdFusion—input. You'll learn how standard Web forms can be used to get information into a ColdFusion database. We'll also cover
The <CFINSERT> and <CFUPDATE> tags
An introduction to Web forms
Creating forms to insert or update data
Troubleshooting insert and update operations
