Query of Queries is based on manipulating the recordset, which you can create using the cfquery tag and other ways.
When you execute a database query, Adobe ColdFusion retrieves the data in a recordset. In addition to presenting recordset data to the user, you can manipulate this recordset to improve the performance of your application.
Because a recordset contains rows (records) and columns (fields), you can think of it as a virtual database table, or as a spreadsheet. For example, the cfpop tag retrieves a recordset in which each row is a message and each column is a message component, such as To, From, and Subject.
Creating a recordset
You can perform a Query of Queries on any ColdFusion tag or function that generates a recordset, including the following:
- cfcollection
- cfdirectory
- cfftp
- cfhttp
- cfindex
- cfldap
- cfmail
- cfpop
- cfprocresult
- cfquery(against a database or against another Query of Queries)
- cfsearch
- cfstoredproc
- cfwddx
- The QueryNew function
