Nope, you can't. Any string substitution done by Npgsql is done with quotes.

Yes, the correct way of using parameters is like you had before.

I think you want to get some flexible non hardcoded sql's. But I think
you would need to do that in a higher layer. Did you have a look at
NHibernate? I think you could get some more flexible queries with it.

Else, you would need to provide that in some DAO classes.
Unfortunately, Npgsql can't be used to send arbitrary conditions like
you want. :(

I hope it helps.
