To secure your CFML it is recommended that you use the cfqueryparam tag within every cfquery tag. You can optimize this process by specifying the CFSQLType attribute. But what about when you want to use a MySQL Database?

The LiveDocs cfqueryparam topic does not include the mapping of ColdFusion SQL data types for MySQL in the usage table, but a helpful comment attached to the doc gives some insight.

ColdFusion Data Type Mappings to MySQL Data Type(s):

CF_SQL_BIGINT | bigint

CF_SQL_BLOB | blob, tinyblob, mediumblob
CF_SQL_CJAR | char
CF_SQL_DATE | date
