Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Default	Description
parameterize	any	no	true	Set to true to use cfqueryparam on all columns, or pass in a list of property names to use cfqueryparam on those only.
reload	boolean	no	false	Set to true to force CFWheels to query the database even though an identical query for this model may have been run in the same request. (The default in CFWheels is to get the second query from the model’s request-level cache.)
validate	boolean	no	true	Set to false to skip validations for this operation.
transaction	string	no	[runtime expression]	Set this to commit to update the database, rollback to run all the database queries but not commit them, or none to skip transaction handling altogether.

Examples

// Save the user object to the database (will automatically do an `INSERT` or `UPDATE` statement depending on if the record is new or already exists
user.save();

// Save the user object directly in an if statement without using `cfqueryparam` and take appropriate action based on the result
if(user.save(parameterize=false)){
	flashInsert(notice="The user was saved!");
	redirectTo(action="edit");
} else {
	flashInsert(alert="Error, please correct!");
	renderView(action="edit");
