I am using MySQL 5.1

Like I said, if I change the Transfer code like I showed earlier to
BIGINT for the cfsqltype query param then it works fine from Transfer
and inserts the right value in the same column that it was inserting
the wrong value before. So, something about Transfer is causing all
numerics to be set to float, because changing that line in Transfer
causes the value to be inserted correctly. Changing it back causes it
to be inserted incorrectly.

Using a <cfquery> instead of Transfer also inserts the right value
into the same column, so I'm not sure how it could be MySQL if a
<cfquery> puts the same value in the same column correctly while
Transfer does not. Then changing the line that SAYS "float" in
Transfer to the same type as my MySQL column and all of the sudden it
works? Seems like Transfer to me...

So, I'm not sure.
