David,
You can also use queries as arrays. For example, if I have a query called
"Articles" with a column named "TITLE", and I want the 5th
row, I can use Articles.Title[5].
I rarely see a need for arrays with CF, though other programmers seem to use
them for everything. I don't quite understand that. I've seen a lot of
programming, even custom tags, that translate native CF data elements into
arrays, when it is easier to use the native data element.

Subject: Help: Can arrays be used like queries
Hi all,
I don't know if this is possible, but can arrays or any other ColdFusion
structures be used like queries, i.e. <cfoutput
query="arrayorsomething">, or converted to a query?
It's just that it could be a pain converting pages that were initially
created to use queries to use loops on arrays instead, and named columns
make for more programmer-friendly pages.
TIA
