Precisely. It is utterly insane for programmers to communicate with a database by constructing strings in an arcane language that is then compiled in real time. Not only does this open a whole bunch of bizarre, security holes, it’s just plain dumb. We are programmers, we communicate with our libraries using functions and data structures, not strings that have a syntax that was designed 50 years ago for non-programmers to use.
