I'm trying to make a cfc that will receive a database name & data source
name and return a structure that describes the databases properties. Kind of
like the following:
database.tables[1].tableName = "myTableName"
database.tables[1].fields[1].fieldName = "myFieldName"
database.tables[1].fields[1].fieldDefault = "1"
database.tables[1].fields[1].fieldType = "int"
database.tables[1].fields[1].fieldKey = "Primary"
database.tables[1].fields[1].fieldNull = "No"
database.tables[1].fields[1].fieldExtra = "auto_increment"
I'm not really having much luck - keep getting tripped up on the very first
bit: database.tables[1].tableName = "myTableName"
<cfset databaseName = "myDatabaseName">
<cfset dataSourceName = "myDSN">
<cfquery datasource="#dataSourceName#" name="get_tables">
SHOW TABLES FROM #databaseName#
</cfquery>
<cfset thisDb.tables = ArrayNew(1)>
<cfset tableCount = 0>
<cfloop query="get_tables">
<cfset tableCount = tableCount + 1>
<cfset "thisDb.tables[#tableCount#].tableName" = evaluate('tables_in_' &
databaseName)>
<cfdump var="#thisDb#">
etc...
The error is: 'The string "thisDb.tables[1].tableName" is not a valid
ColdFusion variable name. '
I've tried pretty much every alternative I can think of and still no luck.
Any ideas appreciated.
Cheers
Mark
