I use this technique (TEXT TO lcSQL textmerge noshow) extensively in our code. The only problem in our case, is that we don't really use parameters, we embed the string into the query. I know it's a very bad practice, but our sqlexec is a separate program. It will still work if we define parameters as private variables, but somehow we never did that.
