11. Switch to Code view to review how the data you entered looks with the additional HTML. The HTML that was inserted

in the first and third rows looks different from the HTML that you inserted in the second row. One way is not better

than the other, and both display the same way in the browser.

Manually adding a row of data is not difficult, but it can be very time consuming if you are managing a lot of

information and that information changes frequently. The task becomes even more tedious if you are adding only one

or two artwork pieces, but you want to keep items alphabetized. This task requires you to not only insert rows, but

also to move all the data downstream from cell to cell to make room for the new pieces.

Storing information in a database and using the power of ColdFusion MX 7 to retrieve and display this data ensures

that the time you would spend managing your HTML files is freed for other tasks.

Learning Point: Database interfaces not required

It is okay if you do not have Microsoft Access installed on your computers. If you want to create or modify databases, you

will need an interface for this purpose. However, ColdFusion can connect to each of these databases without the need for

a visual interface. More information about database drivers is available later in this tutorial.

12. Analyze the HTML display and its relationship to the tables stored in the database.
