RE: OC4J Bind Variables: Positional Notation

JDBC uses the "?" as placeholder to define a bind variable. Of course the JDBC driver is responsible to replace them. In your case the query sent to the database should be the following:

SELECT *
from table1
WHERE (col1 = :1 and col2 = :2);

As pointed out by Cary, if you want to see the query you should enable SQL trace.
