Using SQL

This section introduces SQL, describes basic SQL syntax, and contains examples of SQL statements. It provides enough information for you to begin using ColdFusion MX. However, this section does not contain an exhaustive description of the entire SQL programming language. For complete SQL information, see the SQL reference that ships with your database.

A query is a request to a database. The query can ask for information from the database, write new data to the database, update existing information in the database, or delete records from the database.

Structured Query Language (SQL) is an ANSI/ISO standard programming language for writing database queries. All databases supported by ColdFusion support SQL, and all ColdFusion tags that access a database allow you to pass SQL statements to the tag.
