I think that he means generating application code from a database schema. A tool like Jooq (https://www.jooq.org/). If so, then I agree with him.

Libraries like Jooq and SQLDelight include what I'm talking about and then build on top of it with codegen which is even nicer since it adds compiler safety

But even without codegen you'd still a much nicer interface than manually hacking together strings as the Golang example others have linked shows: https://github.com/Masterminds/squirrel
