// Convert the values in the column Address into the array myColumn
myColumn=ValueArray(myQuery,"Address");
// Display array values
writedump(myColumn);
</cfscript>

Note:
Before the implementation of ValueArrray member function, you could also use query["column"] to convert the column values into an array, as shown below:
<cfscript>
a=[];
q = queryNew("foobar", "", [["foo"],["bar"]]);
a.append(q["foobar"], true);
writeDump(a);//returns same result as q.valueArray("foobar")
</cfscript>
