> 99% of the time you'll want to use query parameters, but rejecting queries which don't use them isn't a solution either, as you do need to avoid them sometimes, unfortunately This is one of the problems that I have with most SQL databases: they try to do the magic for you and make it hard to see what's going on under the hood. Databases aren't magic, they are just indexes, and there are only so many ways of organizing them. Providing a bit more transparency into how the data is stored and retrieved allow you to write efficient queries without the guesswork.
