• Know the rules for naming variables.

  • Avoid using variable names that may be reserved words in SQL.
    • Words such as Time, Date, and Order may cause errors when querying databases.
  • Avoid using variable names that are the same as ColdFusion variable scopes.
    • Names such as Application, Attribute, Caller, CGI, Client, Cookie, Form, Variable, Request, Server, Session, URL, and Query.
  • Avoid choosing variable names that end in _date, _eurodate, _float, _integer, _range, _required, or _time.
    • These are reserved suffixes for server-side form validation variables and can cause naming conflicts.
