PreparedStatements

• Developers often use PreparedStatements because the syntax is easier.
• Example:

    PreparedStatement update = 
       conn.prepareStatement("UPDATE user SET password = ? WHERE user = ?");
    updateSales.setString(1, "bar");
    updateSales.setString(2, "foo");
  

• Intended for, most useful, and high performance, inside of loops where many INSERT's or UPDATE's need to be done at one time.
