Escaping Strings

Hello,

I'm trying to build a query builder, similar to the one implemented in
PHP in the Drupal project.  This requires that I be able to reliably
escape MySQL identifiers (tables, columns, etc) and column values.
However, there does not appear to be any methods exposed from the
MySQL Java connector to do this.

I know PerparedStatements are the way to go for SQL, and I use
PreparedStatements whenever possible, but they just don't work for
query builders.

I know there are tools like JOOQ that do query building, but I want to
build something that is very syntactically similar to the Drupal query
builder, and JOOQ (and other projects like it) seem pretty far off
that mark.

Does the MySQL Java driver not expose mysql_real_escape_string, and is
there no equivalent for safely escape identifiers like table names and
column names?
