This particular expression is rewritten by the compiler to use StringBuffer, so is equivalent to: > StringBuffer query = new StringBuffer(); > > query.append( "SELECT foo "); > query.append( "FROM bar "); > query.append( "WHERE baz = 'bletch';" > > return new String( query); Maybe you are thinking in something like String foo = "" while(cond) { foo += bar; } which is, indeed, quite inefficient.
