Hello!

I would like to know if I can use CFCs to write to a database, passing the data from a form.

Does anyone know how to do this?

Here's my first cfc - that pulls info from the db
Code:
<CFCOMPONENT>

<CFFUNCTION NAME="ListCategories" 
HINT="ListCategories"
ACCESS="remote"
RETURNTYPE="query">
   
<CFQUERY DATASOURCE="aqua" NAME="category">
   SELECT *
   FROM category
</CFQUERY>

<CFRETURN category>
</CFFUNCTION>

</CFCOMPONENT>

Then the page that calls it!

Code:
<!--- Instantiate component --->
<CFOBJECT COMPONENT="category" NAME="empObj">

<!--- Get departments --->
<CFSET categories=empObj.ListCategories()>
<CFOUTPUT QUERY="categories">
#id#, #description# <br> 
</CFOUTPUT>

Can anyone help?

This works - but I would like to know how to add data. All that's in this table is decription!
