Now if we could save our data, that would be great. We will be using the same database that we used in the last chapter. We can see this book's site at http://books.sosensible.com if we need to set up this database for practice. Let us look at the two ways in which a record is saved in ColdFusion. The first is how we would save a new record. This is called an INSERT query:
<cfquery datasource="cfb" name="qryInsert"> INSERT INTO product( name , description , price)VALUES( <cfqueryparam value="#form.name#"> , <cfqueryparam value="#form.description#"> , <cfqueryparam value="#form.price#">) </cfquery>
