Ok so when you said "SQL query generator" I interpreted "a generic tool for SQL query generation". i.e. ORM. Metaprogamming makes sense there.
Your rather unique use case certainly falls outside of the remit of what ORMs provide (cutting down on generic SQL boilerplate) but I'm unconvinced that what you built is in need of especially powerful language features to build it.
