QuerySetCell

Description

Sets a cell to a value. If no row number is specified, the cell on the last row is set. Starting with ColdFusion MX 7, you cannot add a string literal (for example, "All") to a column that is of type numeric, although this was allowed in previous versions of ColdFusion.

Returns

True, if successful; False, otherwise.

Function syntax

QuerySetCell(query, column_name, value [, row_number ])

History

ColdFusion MX 7: Changed the behavior of the function so that it does type validation.

Parameters

Parameter	Description
query	Name of an executed query.
column_name	Name of a column in the query.
value	Value to set in the cell.
row_number	Row number. The default value is last row.

Example

<!--- This example shows the use of QueryAddRow and QuerySetCell ---> 

<!--- start by making a query ---> 
<cfquery name = "GetCourses" datasource = "cfdocexamples"> 
SELECT Course_ID, Descript 
FROM Courses 
</cfquery> 
<p>The Query "GetCourses" has <cfoutput>#GetCourses.RecordCount#</cfoutput> rows. 

<cfset CountVar = 0> 
<cfloop CONDITION = "CountVar LT 15"> 
<cfset temp = QueryAddRow(GetCourses)> 
<cfset CountVar = CountVar + 1> 
<cfset Temp = QuerySetCell(GetCourses, "Number", 100*CountVar)> 
<cfset CountVar = CountVar + 1> 
<cfset Temp = QuerySetCell(GetCourses, "Descript", 
"Description of variable #Countvar#")> 
</cfloop> 

<P>After the QueryAddRow action, the query has 
<CFOUTPUT>#GetCourses.RecordCount#</CFOUTPUT> 
records. 
<CFOUTPUT query="GetCourses"> 
<PRE>#Course_ID# #Course_Number# #Descript#</pre> </cfoutput>
