Just plugging in the ethernet cable is dangerous :)
I'm not suggesting creating any client-side code providing any type of
description of the database. Basically, I'm just suggesting that
CFFORM be combined, slightly, with CFINSERT/CFUPDATE so that on post
the CFFORM tag would realize it's posted to itself and invoke the
appropriate cfInsert/cfUpdate functionality. I imagine/hope the
underpinnings of these two tags (since they've been around awhile) use
parameterized queries (cfqueryparam), providing a good layer of data
security, and the client-side validation provided by CFFORM would
probably be "good enough" for anyone using this functionality.
I doubt I'd use it anywhere except on quick app I'd do for personal
use only, but ColdFusion has always been about abstracting complex
processes for easier use by less, um, hard-core developers, so why not
take that to the Nth and simpify data binding?
