I'm not a Java web developer... 😁

You need to adjust you glasses if that's what you see me as.

Reality is that basically all modern (as in last 20 years) SQL access is via frameworks that all use their own language and come up with SQL based on that. How hard it'd be to bulk change the schema depends entirely on the framework.
Hm, it's a string /somewhere/.  The rest of this thread might be accused of adding to the problem.

No, it's not, at least not as a complete SQL statement. See [1] as an example of how this works in Ruby on Rails. Most modern frameworks work in a similar fashion: you DON'T write raw SQL, or anything that looks anything like it. In fact, many (most?) of these frameworks make it difficult to do anything in raw SQL because it completely breaks the paradigm of the framework.

Note that I'm talking about *frameworks*, not languages. But since most languages require huge amounts of boilerplate to create a web service or website it's not surprising that pretty much everyone uses frameworks. (Go is actually an interesting exception to this.)
