Pete FreitagThe default cfsqltype for cfqueryparam
By Pete Freitag
If you want to save yourself some typing, note that cf_sql_varchar is the default value for the cfsqltype attribute in the cfqueryparam tag.
So you can omit the cfsqltype attribute, if your type is cf_sql_varchar at the expense of some readability.
I probably would not mention this if cfqueryparam was not so verbose. Why not type="varchar" what's with all the cfsql/cf_sql_?
Update: As of ColdFusion 11 you can omit the cf_sql_ prefix on the cfsqltype attribute of the cfqueryparam tag.
The default cfsqltype for cfqueryparam was first published on April 07, 2005.
