Thanks, but it is not that simple.

I would figure out a way to use my RDBMS to handle this. Navicat or SQL Server
tools to do it.
Then clean the data or whatever once it's
I agree using something like Navicat to load the data would be a much better
solution, but if you must use code, then I would parse those table names and
replace all of the bad characters and spaces before creating the tables.
Special characters and spaces just cause too many problems to even
Another way to do this is read the file, loop thru the lines and massage the
data as wanted when inserting into the database. This way you can have better
control on the data manipulation.
cfloop file=#expandPath('.')#\sampledata.csv from=1 index=line
cfquery name=qi datasource=#mydsn#

If this is MS SQL you can do this as well.

causes an error.
Did you forget the row number or is that typo?
ie
queryName[column name][ rowNumber ]

Actually, I'm in a loop on the query, I thought the row number would be
implicit as usual.
But you're right, queryName[column name][queryName.currentRow] does work.
This is kind of weird since queryName.columnName works, bur not

I guess the difference is queryName[columnName] gives you access to the
column array. I thought it was strange at first too. But realized it is a good
thing, since it allows you to access values in any row
