However - CFMX make assumptions based on the string. The following code
shows how QofQ can assume April 2002 is a date and correctly query
against it:
<cf_querysim name="test">
col1 col2
April 2002 ray
May 2002 camden
January 2002 foo
</cf_querysim>
<cfquery name="test2" dbtype="query">
select *
from test
where col1 < <cfqueryparam value="April 2002"
cfsqltype="CF_SQL_DATE">
</cfquery>
<cfdump var="#test2#">

Let me check on this - I don't know if QofQ uses the metadata from the
original query or not. Certainly for a 'man-made' query like te one
above, it made the assumption that col1 was a data column.
