The JDBC API doesn't require that PreparedStatement.toString() will
return the actual SQL to be executed, and the current driver doesn't try
to get string escaping correct in toString(). It's a purely cosmetic
issue, the query is correct when sent to the server. In fact, at the
protocol level, the parameter values are *not* interpolated into the
query string, they are sent separately.

The cause of your problem is something else. The return value of
toString() is not relevant.

If you run the same query via psql, does it return results?
