Hello World

</cfoutput>

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>
