Questions tagged [prepared-statement]

A Prepared Statement (or parameterized statement) is a precompiled SQL statement that serves to improve performance and mitigate SQL injection attacks. Prepared statements are used in many popular Relational Database Management Systems.

Prepared statements separate data binding from execution. Separating statement preparation from execution can be more efficient for statements that are executed multiple times, because the preparation phase need be done only once. For example, if you need to insert a bunch of rows, you can prepare an INSERT statement once and then execute it repeatedly, binding successive row values to it for each execution. A prepared statement can contain placeholders to indicate where data values should appear. After you prepare the statement, bind specific values to the placeholders (either before or at statement-execution time), then substitute the values into the statement before sending it to the database server.
