Imagine you have a query that returns a few results like Product Categories sold for a given period. You might have a query like:
\n<cfquery name=\"myQ\" datasource=\"myDSN\">
\nselect distinct category from sales order by category.
\n<\/cfquery>
\nYour results might look something like this array:
\n [\"Games\", \"Movies\", \"Software\" ]
\n<\/code>
\nWe typically use cfoutput to dump the array into a table or onto the screen. But depending on where you put the query “name” yields different results.
\n<cfoutput>#myQ.category#<\/strong><\/cfoutput>
\nyields only the first item in the array \"Games\"<\/code>
\nvs
\n<cfoutput query=\"myQ\"<\/strong>>#category#<\/strong><\/cfoutput>
\nyields all items in the array.<\/code><\/p>\n

Both are valid answers. If you wanted to use logic with the first item in the array you could check the array value in the first position:
\n<cfif #myQ.category[1]# NEQ \"Games\">...No Games Sold... <\/cfif><\/code><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
