    Hello World

    Once you've created a Datasource that links to your database in the CF ACP, you can run and reference a query as such:

    <cfquery name="example" datasource="name_of_the_datasource">

    SELECT * FROM TABLENAME WHERE COLUMN = VALUE

    </cfquery>

    <p>This will show you a dump of the query</p>

    <cfdump var="#example#">

    <p>This tells you how many records were returned: #example.recordCount#</p>

    <p>This is how you reference a returned field: #example.name_of_field#</p>
