Issues with CF 9 and MySQL 5.5 (no replies)

I upgraded the version of Java and switched over to using ODBC data sources from ColdFusion and now MySQL 5.5 is acting funny. I don't know which thing I did is causing the issues, but now I'm noticing that in the following query I am required to escape the outfile slashes whereas I didn't have to before. What would cause this behavior to change? I'm running Win2008 R2 64-bit:

SELECT `ca_services`.`ca_service_id`, COALESCE(`ca_services`.`client_id`, ''),
COALESCE(TRIM(`caselink`.`ca_master`.`ss_number`), ''), COALESCE(`ca_services`.`service_id`, ''),
COALESCE(`caselink`.`ca_programs`.`prog_code`, ''), COALESCE(TRIM(`services_master`.`service_name`), ''),
COALESCE(TRIM(`organization`.`programs`.`prog_name`), '') AS `program`,
IF(
COALESCE(`ca_services`.`start_date`, '0000-00-00') <> '0000-00-00',
DATE_FORMAT(`ca_services`.`start_date`, '%m/%d/%Y'),
''
),
IF(
COALESCE(`ca_services`.`end_date`, '0000-00-00') <> '0000-00-00',
DATE_FORMAT(`ca_services`.`end_date`, '%m/%d/%Y'),
''
),
COALESCE(TRIM(`ca_services`.`dvr_authorization_number`), ''), COALESCE(TRIM(`services_master`.`ups_code`), ''),
COALESCE(`ca_services`.`approved_units`, ''), COALESCE(`services_master`.`rate`, ''),
COALESCE(`ca_services`.`budget_service_id`, ''), COALESCE(`ca_services`.`service_status_id`, ''),
COALESCE(`ca_services`.`discharge_reason_id`, '')
