Is there a active record class similar to the one in codeigniter for java

Question

I was wondering if there's a way to build sql statements in java similar to active record in codeigniter which is a PHP framework. Basically you call functions that builds your sql statements like so:
db.from('users');
db.select('id');
db.where('name', name);
results = db.get();
instead of something like this:
"select id from users where name='" + name + '";
Top methods cleaner, easier to read and modify, and less likely to miss a punctuation. Is there a class that does something like this for java. Sorry haven't used Java in awhile and just trying to get back in.

Nope - the correct way is to use a prepared statement.
Top methods cleaner, easier to read and modify, and less likely to miss a punctuation. None of those would be true for the way I write code.
And I doubt that any of those would be true for non-trivial examples, for example a union with several complex clauses. And absolutely useless if you need a dba who is only a dba to help with your SQL.
