<!-- Issue the query, here we are selecting all records ("*") from the
   "listings" table, placing the results in a query handle called "q1".
    This query handle will be used below to display the data. -->

<! msql query "select * from listings" q1>

<!-- Let's put the data in a table, it looks nicer -->

<TABLE border=1>

<!-- Some simple header info for the table -->

   <TH>HEADLINER</TH>
   <TH>OPENING ACT</TH>
   <TH>LOCATION</TH>
   <TH>PRICE</TH>

<!-- Here is where we have w3-msql display all the data retrieved from
   the query stored in the query handle "q1".
   Note the mixture of HTML and mSQL commands. Here, we
   are simply building a table "row"
   for every database "row" retrieved in the query. -->
