You can't use ? placeholders to embed things that aren't actually single
data values in queries any longer. This came out of fixing a SQL injection
hole that appears if the driver allows parameters to make it into the query
unescaped. There was quite a bit of discussion at the time about how to fix
the injection hole while supporting existing apps, but unfortunately noone
could find an acceptable way of doing it.
To get the same effect with recent drivers, you'll have to construct the
expanded query string yourself. You can still use ?-placeholders for real
data values, obviously.
