In oracle you can run a tab column query to retrieve field names and corresponding
field types for a given.
SELECT COLUMN_NAME FROM ALL_TAB_COLUMNS WHERE OWNER ='DB_OWNER' AND TABLE_NAME =
'TABLE_NAME''
Example of this output would look something like this, depending the columns and data
type defined for your table.
col1 col2
last_name varchar2
first_name varchar2
brith_date date
Hope this is what you wanted.

There is not a direct way to get Field Data types and length in CFMX/CF. You can use a
Java Bean to get the meta-data
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("select f1,f2,...from Table");
ResultSetMetaData rsmd = rs.getMetaData();
"rsmd" has everything you need to know about the ResultSet or Table

Does anyone know off hand if it is possible to retrieve or otherwise
determine the field types that match the field names? (ie: text(length),
integer, etc.?)
One of those missing pieces to creating some interesting reusable
widgets..
