The generic design allows subclasses of DBAppender to require (and be
guaranteed to get) additional column names.

E.g. LBCLASSIC-187 "extend table definition with columns for message
parameters" will work with this. Enums won't, you can't extend the list
of values in a subclass.

The generics solution would also allow extensions in other directions.
E.g. to provide additional table names, such as a separate table to
normalize out message parameter values.

Hope the feedback is still useful

P.S.: I've got a last proposal up my sleeve that's geared towards
simplicity.
But one at a time :)
