Get number of columns in a query or structure in ColdFusion

Question

Is there any expedient (preferably no loop) way to get the number of columns in a query result? I'm dealing with a module that uses a data set without knowing its details.

Answer 1

<cfoutput>
   #ListLen(YourQuery.ColumnList)#
</cfoutput>

Answer 2

<cfquery name="myQuery" datasource="#dsn#">
SELECT * FROM myTable
</cfquery>

<cfoutput>#myQuery.columnList#</cfoutput>
