Eventually people will have enough of Little Bobby Tables and url spoofing and then query engines won’t allow string concatenation at all.

The only alternative I know of is to make a query engine that exactly emulates the String Interpolation syntax of the host language and can detect string concatenation in the inputs.

But the problem with non-builders is always going to be GraphQL and advanced search boxes, where there are any of a couple dozen possible parameters and you either build one query that returns * for every unused clause or you have a factorial number of possible queries. If you don’t use a builder then Bobby always shows up. He even shows up sometimes with a builder.
