Escaped variable syntax

[bmidget]

Seems like it would be nice to have access to escaped variables anywhere in the query builder, not just the "where" statement.

My suggestion is to allow it as a third parameter in the query():

$query_object->query($resource, $sql, array $variables);

It would replace all :variables anywhere in the query with escaped versions of the variables array passed as the third parameter.

This is done with the $query->bind(array $binds); method
