Prepared or Parameterized Statements in Database System

In this post, I am sharing a practical about prepared statements of MySQL.

You can write or create a prepared statement in MySQL.
But this is not an efficient way because the binary protocol through a prepared statement API is better.

But still, you can write, and even it doesn’t require any other programming, you can directly write in SQL.

You can use a prepared statement for MySQL Client program.
You can also use a prepared statement in a stored procedure for the dynamic SQL approach.

Below is a small practical demonstration on this:

Let’s first create sample table and data.

Create prepared statement:

You can see ‘?’ in WHERE clause. This ‘? ‘ means a required parameter.
You can pass the parameter during execution of Prepared Statement.

Execute Prepared Statement:

Result is:

De-allocate prepared statement:

You can also set max_prepared_stmt_count this is a system variable to guard creation of too many prepared statements.
