Two good examples of "builders to SQL" are

https://www.jooq.org/

and

https://www.sqlalchemy.org/

JooQ isn't everybody's taste but I use it for my job and I think it's great particularly in that you can reuse expressions and write generators for complex queries. We have a powerful search interface that combines full-text with other kinds of queries ("Is about topic T", "Data was collected between S and E") that is beautiful. I think it's funny how JooQ has that lispy f(a,b) style (no accident it is like ferocity) and how Sqlalchemy is really fluent and takes advantage of operator overloading.
