Inserting data

You usually use two application pages to insert data into a database:

• An insert form
• An insert action page

You can create an insert form with standard HTML form tags or with cfform tags (see Creating forms with the cfform tag). When the user submits the form, form variables are passed to a ColdFusion action page that performs an insert operation (and whatever else is called for) on the specified data source. The insert action page can contain either a cfinsert tag or a cfquery tag with a SQL INSERT statement. The insert action page should also contain a confirmation message for the end user.
