I am trying to build a dynamic browser based database utility. Is there a
way to output columns from a query when you don't know what the field names
are?
Here is what I am talking about:
I pass a cfm page a list of fields that I want to see all the records for. I
use the form name in my select statement,
then I loop through the form name to create my table header. Now I want to
display the values for the fields under the
header I created.
what is the method to do this? Here is my code....
I use the form name in my select statement
<cfquery name="selecttable" datasource="#form.get_db#">
Select #form.table# From #form.tablename#
</cfquery>
then I loop through the form name to create my table header
<table width="700" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
<tr class="header">
<cfset fieldcount = 0>
<cfloop list="#form.table#" index="curr_field">
<cfset fieldcount = fieldcount + 1>
<cfoutput><td>#curr_field#</td></cfoutput>
</cfloop>
<cfoutput>fieldcount: #fieldcount#</cfoutput>
</tr>
<cfset abc = 0>
Now I want to display the values for the fields under the header I created.
<cfloop list="#selecttable.columnlist#" index="curr_col">
<cfif abc IS 0>
<tr>
</cfif>
<cfset abc = abc + 1>
<td><cfoutput>#curr_col#</cfoutput></td>
<cfif abc IS fieldcount>
</tr>
<cfset abc = 0>
</cfif>
</cfloop>
</table>
This output is used for debugging purposes....
<cfoutput query="selecttable">
<cfloop list="#selecttable.columnlist#" index="curr_column">
#curr_column#<br>
</cfloop>
</cfoutput>
What do I need to change/fix/get rid off for this to work. I can do this in
ASP with ADO, but I want this in CF.
Thanks for any help/suggestions.
