CFLib.org – Common Function Library Project

Description:
Changes a query into a struct of arrays, where the keys of the struct are the column names in the query. Each struct key holds an array of the values from the query. See also QueryToArrayOfStructs.

Return Values:
Returns a structure.

Example:

<CFSET Query = QueryNew("id,name,age")>
<CFLOOP INDEX="X" FROM=1 TO=3>
<CFSET QueryAddRow(Query,1)>
<CFSET QuerySetCell(Query,"ID",X,X)>
<CFSET QuerySetCell(Query,"Name","Name #X#",X)>
<CFSET QuerySetCell(Query,"Age",X+15,X)>
</CFLOOP>
<CFSET Struct = QueryToStructOfArrays(Query)>
<CFDUMP VAR="#Struct#">

Parameters:
