Way to go Railo! Well, even though it's unlikely that a valid SQL query would contain a struct for a row (can it?), inserting a struct into a query variable is allowed.
CF looks at the first record of a query variable whenever you reference a column from it outside of a query-looping structure like with <cfloop query=""> or <cfoutput query=""> So, in this case, when you reference myQuery.Advanced[2] you are actually looking at the value of the key "2", from the "Advanced" column of the FIRST row of myQuery, which has 3 keys: CITY, FIRSTNAME, LASTNAME, which is VALID, but NOT EXPECTED. Railo looks at a query variable as a structure anyway, so when you reference myQuery.Advanced[2], it finds the 2nd row of the query, since it's just a regular structure, which is AS EXPECTED. That is why this will fail in CF, but work in Railo: <cfdump var="#myQuery["Advanced"]["2"]["1"]["lastname"]#" /> The discussion should be that Adobe CF, or CFML (the language) should be smart enough to know that when I reference query["column"][2], that I'm trying to get to the 2nd record's column (which is more intuitive), and not the value of the "2" key of the 1st record's column. - Rex Gert Franz wrote: > Just a side note... > > Railo returns StructCount = 2 and dumps a struct with two keys > containing 3 keys.
