I'v come up with this and it works rather nicely...
<cfset qryOptions = QueryCastColumn(qryOptions, "column", "varchar")>
<cffunction name="QueryCastColumn">
<cfargument name="query" type="query" required="Yes">
<cfargument name="column" type="string" required="Yes">
<cfargument name="type" type="string" required="Yes">
<!--- Duplicate the inbound query --->
<cfset myQuery = duplicate(arguments.query)>
<!--- Remove column from the field list --->
<cfset strColumnList = myQuery.columnList>
<cfset strColumnList = listDeleteAt(strColumnList,
listFindNocase(strColumnList, arguments.column))>
<!--- Create new cast selector --->
<cfset strSelector = "cast([#arguments.column#] as
#arguments.type#) as [#arguments.column#]">
<cfset strSelector = listAppend(strSelector, strColumnList)>
<!--- Get newly cast query --->
<cfquery name="myQuery" dbtype="query">
select
#preserveSingleQuotes(strSelector)#
from myQuery
</cfquery>
<cfreturn myQuery>
</cffunction>
Hope someone else can make use of it.
