Description
Creates an empty query (query object).
Returns
An empty query with a set of named columns, or an empty query.
Category
Function syntax
QueryNew(columnlist [, columntypelist[, rowData]])
History
ColdFusion (2018 release) Update 5: You can insert rows in a query object as array of structs. For more information, see Enhancements in QueryNew function.
ColdFusion MX 7: Added columntypelist parameter.
ColdFusion 10: Added rowData parameter.

Parameters
Parameter |
Description |
---|---|
columnlist |
Comma-delimited list of column names, or an empty string. |
columntypelist |
(Optional) Comma-delimited list specifying column data types. ColdFusion generates an error if the data you add to the column is not of this type, or if it cannot convert the data to this type. The following data types are valid:
|
rowData | (Optional) Specifies data to add to the new query. Can be one of:
See "Usage" for examples. |
Usage
If you specify an empty string in the columnlist parameter, use the QueryAddColumn function to add columns to the query .Adobe recommends that you use the optional columntypelist parameter. Without this parameter, ColdFusion must try to determine data types when it uses the query object in a query of queries. Determining data types requires additional processing, and can result in errors if ColdFusion does not guess a type correctly .Enhancements in ColdFusion 10 lets you initialize the query data. You can specify a struct, an array of structs, or arrays with single or multiple dimensions to initialize the query as shown in the following example:
myQuery1 = queryNew("id,name","Integer,Varchar", {id=1,name="One"}); myQuery2 = queryNew("id,name","Integer,Varchar", [ {id=1,name="One"}, {id=2,name="Two"}, {id=3,name="Three"} ]); myQuery3 = queryNew("id,name","Integer,Varchar", [ [1,"One"], [2,"Two"], [3,"Three"] ]);
<cfscript> myQuery = queryNew("id,name,amount","Integer,Varchar,Integer", [ {id=1,name="One",amount=15}, {id=2,name="Two",amount=18}, {id=3,name="Three",amount=32} ]); writeOutput("The new query is:") writeDump(myQuery) </cfscript>
Output
<!--- Create a new three-column query, specifying the column data types ---> <cfset myQuery = QueryNew("Name, Time, Advanced", "VarChar, Time, Bit")> <!--- Make two rows in the query ---> <cfset QueryAddRow(MyQuery, 2)> <!--- Set the values of the cells in the query ---> <cfset QuerySetCell(myQuery, "Name", "The Wonderful World of CMFL", 1)> <cfset QuerySetCell(myQuery, "Time", "9:15 AM", 1)> <cfset QuerySetCell(myQuery, "Advanced", False, 1)> <cfset QuerySetCell(myQuery, "Name", "CFCs for Enterprise Applications", 2)> <cfset QuerySetCell(myQuery, "Time", "12:15 PM", 2)> <cfset QuerySetCell(myQuery, "Advanced", True, 2)> <h4>The query object contents</h4> <cfoutput query = "myQuery"> #Name# #Time# #Advanced#<br> </cfoutput><br> <br> <h4>Using individual query data values</h4> <cfoutput> #MyQuery.name[2]# is at #MyQuery.Time[2]#<br> </cfoutput><br> <br> <h4>The query metadata</h4> <cfset querymetadata=getMetaData(myQuery)> <cfdump var="#querymetadata#">
In ColdFusion (2018 release) Update 5, there is an enhancement in the function QueryNew, related to how a query object is populated.
In previous versions of ColdFusion, while defining the parameters in the QueryNew function, you had to first define the columns of the query object, the data types of the columns, and finally, the row data.
For example,
<cfscript> q=queryNew("foo,bar", "", [{foo="foo"},{bar="bar"},{foo="foo1",bar="bar1"}]) writedump(q) </cfscript>
In this update, you can insert rows in a query object as array of structs. The query object interprets the struct keys as column names and assumes the appropriate data type.
For example,
<cfscript> myquery=QueryNew([ {"Id":101,"Name":"John Adams","Paid":FALSE}, {"Id":102,"Name":"Samuel Jackson","Paid":TRUE}, {"Id":103,"Name":"Gal Gadot","Paid":TRUE}, {"Id":104,"Name":"Margot Robbie","Paid":FALSE} ]) writedump(myquery) </cfscript>
In the snippet above, you can see that the struct keys Id, Name, and Paid are the columns of the query object and the values are the row values of the query object.
You can also create the query object by using named parameters.
For examples,
Use the parameter data to populate the query object with values as array of structs.
<cfscript> mydata = queryNew(data=[ {"id":1,"title":"Hello World"}, {"id":2,"title":"How are you"} ]); writeDump(mydata); </cfscript>
Use the parameter columnNames to create the columns for the query object.
<cfscript> data = queryNew(columnNames="Year,Salary") writeDump(data); </cfscript>
