Well, as was pointed out already, qmark is part of the SQL standard and should feature as part of the absolute minimum level of support for parameters in the DB-API. I've seen named and numeric in Oracle environments only, and I'm not convinced that in my last excursion into Oracle JDBC territory those paramtypes were even permitted, even though Oracle likes to break standards and conventions wherever it feels like it.
