Your "parameterized" queries are still serialized strings. Many language bindings for SQL interfaces don't have good support for serializing data types, so you will often see things like ?::datetime in the template string. Some don't have the ability to parameterize column names (or have subtle bugs) either.

I've never heard of JOOQ. Do you know of a good introduction?

How else would you do it, short of a binary query format?
