    <p><code>&lt;cfupdate&gt;</code> is not designed to contain SQL. Just use this:</p> <pre><code>&lt;cfupdate datasource="XXXXX" tablename="Suppliers" /&gt; </code></pre> <p>and make sure that your form field names match the table column names. ColdFusion will create the appropriate UPDATE statement for you. </p> <p>It will figure out what columns you want to update by comparing form field names with table column names. It will also figure out the table's primary key and use that in the <code>WHERE</code> clause.</p> <p>Note that <code>&lt;cfupdate&gt;</code> is made for very simple situations. It is an easy way to update a basic table, but it might not always be the best fit for what you intend to do.</p> <p>If you want more control over the update statement, use <code>&lt;cfquery&gt;</code> and <code>&lt;cfqueryparam&gt;</code>.</p> <pre><code>&lt;cfquery datasource="XXXXX"&gt; UPDATE Suppliers SET SupplierName = &lt;cfqueryparam value="#FORM.SupplierName#" cfsqltype="CF_SQL_VARCHAR" /&gt;, Address1 = &lt;cfqueryparam value="#FORM.Address1#" cfsqltype="CF_SQL_VARCHAR" /&gt;, Address2 = &lt;cfqueryparam value="#FORM.Address2#" cfsqltype="CF_SQL_VARCHAR" /&gt;, City = &lt;cfqueryparam value="#FORM.City#" cfsqltype="CF_SQL_VARCHAR" /&gt;, WHERE SupplierCode = &lt;cfqueryparam value="#txtSupplier#" cfsqltype="CF_SQL_VARCHAR" /&gt; &lt;/cfquery&gt; </code></pre> <p>Also note that <code>?</code> generally is <em>not</em> the way to specify parameters in ColdFusion. That's what <code>&lt;cfqueryparam&gt;</code> is for.</p>

    1. COThank you! I have tried the basic CFupdate but it still doesnt seem to be updating? Is this because I may not be passing the PK correctly?

    3. CO@ez87: I'm not sure why, of all things, you'd want to update the `Supplier` as a result of a purchase success. What exactly should happen with this code?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
