CAPI3REF: Prepared Statement Object KEYWORDS: {prepared statement} {prepared statements}

An instance of this object represents a single SQL statement that has been compiled into binary form and is ready to be evaluated.

Think of each SQL statement as a separate computer program. The original SQL text is source code. A prepared statement object is the compiled object code. All SQL must be converted into a prepared statement before it can be run.

The life-cycle of a prepared statement object usually goes like this:

Create the prepared statement object using [sqlite3_prepare_v2()].

Bind values to [parameters] using the sqlite3bind*() interfaces.

Run the SQL by calling [sqlite3_step()] one or more times.

Reset the prepared statement using [sqlite3_reset()] then go back to step 2. Do this zero or more times.

Destroy the object using [sqlite3_finalize()].
