We use structures to cache database queries so that they are easily
referenced. (Much like the Article in the March CFDJ
http://www.sys-con.com/coldfusion 'Structurizing Your Database' describes),
it's a very sweet trick. I don't really use arrays all that much, I find
that Lists usually make more sense.

Subject: Stuctures and Arrays, huh? :-)
Hi All,
For the past year or so, actually a little longer, I've been doing pretty
rudimentary ColdFusion programming - lots of simple queries, some cfhttp,
cfcontent, tons of loops, cookies - you know, all the easy stuff.
I've definitely avoided using arrays, and more recently, structures (you
see, I didn't know about structures until just a while ago ...). Basically,
I'm having a few conceptual problems on just simply how to make, create,
edit and add stuff to them. But, even past that, I can't think of any
practical applications for arrays and structures. Obviously, there must be
a ton, otherwise they wouldn't be in CF.
So - I'm just wondering - are there any good novice tutorials to arrays and
structures? I've considered taking the advanced CF class offered by Allaire
but it is a little pricey.
I'm also wondering, what are people really using arrays and structures for?
Thanks,
Jay
