Chapter 15: Interacting with Remote Servers
When duplicate column heading names are encountered, ColdFusion adds an
underscore character to the duplicate column name to make it unique. For
example, if two CustomerID columns are found, the second is renamed
"CustomerID_".
To create a query from a text file:
1. Create a new file in Studio.
2. Modify the file so that it appears as follows:
<!--- The text file consists of six columns --->
<!--- separated by commas. --->
<!--- The rows are --->
<!--- OrderID,OrderNum,OrderDate --->
<!--- ShipDate,ShipName,ShipAddress --->
<!--- This example accepts the first row --->
<!--- of the text file as the column names --->
<CFHTTP METHOD="Get"
<CFOUTPUT QUERY="juneorders">
</CFOUTPUT>
<!--- You can substitute different column names --->
<!--- by using the COLUMNS attribute --->
<CFHTTP METHOD="Get"
<CFOUTPUT QUERY="juneorders">
</CFOUTPUT>
3. Substitue the URL with the location of your text file.
4. Substitue the name of a text file and the column headers to those in your text file.
5. Save the file as
view it in your browser.
