I havent come across a "paging" tutorial on this site. I know there are JavaScripts available that help you achieve this, and the DataSet object in VB.Net comes with paging. All you do is "enable paging". But how do you do it in ColdFusion ?

This tutorial shows you how to create a "dataset" just like the one in VB.Net
In VB.Net you would create a dataset with "edit" button in an extra column.
Once you click "edit", you get an option to "update", "delete" or "cancel edit mode"
This is just like a cfgrid tag. Although a cfgrid tag lets you bulk insert, bulk update or bulk delete, the dataset object does it one by one. But cfgrid is slower, and may give users Java errors, depending on their browser settings.

Quickly and easily sort and order records in your database using a cfswitch in your query. Great technique for admin areas of your site, or just allowing visitors to sort the fields they want.
It's been out there since ColdFusion 4.5...most of us have heard of it...few of us use it. Here are some compelling reasons why you should get into the habit of using the tag.
Some tips and techniques that I've picked up over the years. I don't maintain that these are 'official' or 'absolute'...they are simply my preference and things that have worked for me. I would like to share them here, and leave you to make the decision as to whether or not they fit in your 'code arsenal' :)

This tutorial will show you how to quickly and easily backup and restore a MySQL database using just ColdFusion scripts and avoiding having to use CFEXECUTE which is normally disallowed on shared hosting platforms.
ColdFusion 8 has some handy tags that will provide database detail but what if you're running CF7? Normally you would have to resort to running the mysqldump command but this is restrictive if you wanted to provide your users with a method to backup their databases.

Boolean values are excellent ways to save on precious coding time when you are using a boatload of IF statements in an application.
Having only 2 possible states allows you to kind of cheat on creating your IF statements and minimize redundancy.

Have you ever wanted to have a quick way to process just about any form in coldfusion? If you can apply some simple standards to your database and to your form elements, then this tutorial makes it easy for you to rapidly develop and deploy your application. Note, some developers will frown on it because it does not draw on stored procedures where efficiency can be gained in your application, but sometimes you just want to get it working - you can let the hard core programmers use the prototype to make it work more efficiently. They will like you for using less code.

If have online store or you are planning to have one; then you must give estimate or real number of shipping charge(I am only talking about FedEx). There are few ways to do this. Like using FedEx ship API writing some script(or using XML injection ) to request rates from FedEx servers. But there is big handicap; FedEx shipAPI is slowing down your application and sometimes their servers are down. Which all doesnt sound good for e-commerce business. This little code is calculating 100% accurately all kind of FedEx services. and there is no handicap because it is running from your server. The only thing you need to is you should call fedex and ask for zone list for your zip code. I have attached database file which is for my location.

Many times we need a quick and easy way of importing data into our website databases. The CSV file format is one of the defacto standards for moving data between databases easily. Virtually all databases allow exported to CSV format. And virtually all database support importing a CSV formatted file. So why use Coldfusion to do this mundane task? Simply put it is database independant - in this example I created a simple script that reads a CSV file and inserts the records into a matched mySQL table. When I first started looking at this I was surprised that I could find very little of how to achieve this. So now that I have it worked out I thought I could share this little piece...
