Do the Oracle JDBC drivers provided a Bind by Name facility?
Yes. See the JavaDoc for oracle.jdbc.OraclePreparedStatement. Look for the setXXXAtName methods. Also, oracle.jdbc.OracleCallableStatement supports binding arguments to PL/SQL procedures by the formal argument names. Look at the JavaDoc for the oracle.jdbc.OracleCallableStatement.setXXX(String, …) methods.
