Example The following example lets you update a database by using a cfgrid tag to add and delete entire records or to update the data in individual cells. The cfgridupdate tag processes the data from the submitted form and updates the database.
    <!--- If the gridEntered form field exists, the form was submitted.
          Perform gridupdate. --->
    <cfif IsDefined("form.gridEntered") is True>
       <cfgridupdate grid = "FirstGrid" dataSource = "cfdocexamples" Keyonly="true"
          tableName = "CourseList">
     </cfif>

    <!--- Query the database to fill up the grid. --->
    <cfquery name = "GetCourses" dataSource = "cfdocexamples">
    SELECT Course_ID, Dept_ID, CorNumber,
         CorName, CorLevel, CorDesc
    FROM CourseList
    ORDER by Dept_ID ASC, CorNumber ASC
    </cfquery>
