Example

<h3>QueryNew Example</h3>
<p>We will construct a new query with two rows:
<cfset myQuery = QueryNew("name, address, phone")>
<!--- make some rows in the query --->
<cfset newRow  = QueryAddRow(MyQuery, 2)>
<!--- set the cells in the query --->
<cfset temp = QuerySetCell(myQuery, "name", "Fred", 1)>
<cfset temp = QuerySetCell(myQuery, "address", "9 Any Lane", 1)>
<cfset temp = QuerySetCell(myQuery, "phone", "555-1212", 1)>
<cfset temp = QuerySetCell(myQuery, "name", "Jane", 2)>
<cfset temp = QuerySetCell(myQuery, "address", "14 My Street", 2)>
<cfset temp = QuerySetCell(myQuery, "phone", "555-1444", 2)>
<!--- output the query --->
<cfoutput query = "myQuery">
<pre>#name#  #address#  #phone#</pre>
</cfoutput>  
To get any element in the query, we can output it individually
<cfoutput>
  <p>#MyQuery.name[2]#'s phone number: #MyQuery.phone[2]#
</cfoutput>
