Inside OOo, this kind of string creation is deep inside some parser code, and not available as UNO service. At a low level, the XLocaleData.getLocaleItem might at least help you in obtaining the proper separators. At a higher level, the XSingleSelectQueryComposer, in particular its appendFilterByColumn method, are the only way to let an UNO service generate the string representations. However, this contradicts your wish to create the SQL strings yourself, it seems.
