cfgridupdate

Used within a cfgrid tag. Updates data sources directly from
edited grid data. This tag provides a direct interface with
your data source.

This tag applies delete row actions first, then insert row
actions, then update row actions. If it encounters an error,
it stops processing rows.

  <cfgridupdate grid="" datasource="" tablename="">

 cfgridupdate(grid="", datasource="", tablename="");

This tag requires Adobe ColdFusion 3 and up.  Not supported on Lucee, etc.

Discouraged: The use of tags generating UI is generally discouraged by the CFML community. See: https://static.raymondcamden.com/cfuitherightway/cfgrid/index.html
