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_BINARY | binary
CF_SQL_BIT | bit (MySQL 5)
CF_SQL_BLOB | blob, tinyblob, mediumblob
CF_SQL_CJAR | char
CF_SQL_DATE | date
CF_SQL_DECIMAL | decimal
CF_SQL_DOUBLE | double
CF_SQL_FLOAT | float
CF_SQL_INTEGER | mediumint, int
CF_SQL_REAL | real
CF_SQL_SMALLINT | smallint
CF_SQL_TIME | time
CF_SQL_TIMESTAMP | datetime, timestamp
CF_SQL_TINYINT | tinyint
CF_SQL_VARBINARY | varbinary
CF_SQL_VARCHAR | varchar, text, longtext, mediumtext
